Brigadier general (Poland)

(Redirected from Generał brygady)

Brigadier general (Polish: generał brygady Polish pronunciation: [ɡɛˈnɛraw brɨˈɡadɨ], abbreviated gen. bryg.) is the lowest grade for generals in the Polish Army (both in the land forces and in the Polish Air Force).[1] Depending on the context, it is equivalent to both the modern grade of major general and the grade of brigadier general (mostly in historical context).[2]

The symbols of the grade are the general's wavy line and a single star, featured on both the rogatywka (the military cap) and the sleeves of the dress uniform and above the breast pocket of the field uniform.
