Talk:Senior colonel

Brigadier?

As described, this rank sounds functionally equivalent to Brigadier, in the UK (etc) sense. Would that be about right? Alai 17:47, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

It probably would be a good equivalent, just as long as its made clear that this rank is not the same thing as a Brigadier General. -Husnock 20:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I assume they are broadly equivalent as far as inter-operable pecking order purposes are concerned, since that seems to how Brigadiers are treated. But the key difference being, Brigadier + Senior Colonel = senior field officer, whereas BG = junior general officer. Alai 00:27, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Currently in PLA of China, the Senior Colonel is assigned to 1. the grade of division officers such as division commander and the division commissar; 2. the grade of vice-corp officers with the posts less than two years; 3, the grade of vice-division officers with the posts more than two years. Most technical officers (pilots, military medicals, military engineers etc.) can reach such rank before retire. Ligand 05:00, 8 Feb 2010 (UTC)

Colonel General comparison

The reference here to Colonel Generals seems at variance with the information in that article (or at least to be confusing in that regard). Does China, for example, actually have them? In no case do they seem to be an equivalent rank to BG, so it seems problematic to say they "make up for" such a lack. Alai 05:11, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

The rank of colonel general is a four star general in the prussien army (Generaloberst), one rank below field marshall. In the russian army it is a three star general.
