Lieutenant General: Difference between revisions

'''Lieutenant General''' (''abbrev'': '''LGEN''') is an [[officer]] paygrade within the [[Royal Manticoran Marine Corps]] and the [[Royal Manticoran Army]]. It holds the equivalent military paygrade of [[F-3]] within {{trmn}} and is usually in command of a planetary army, but more likely a higher staff position. A soldier who has received their first star is always referred to as a "general."

In peacetime, a Lieutenant General would have served several years as an [[Major General]], been reviewed by a Flag Officer Promotion Board, approved by the House of Lords, and confirmed by the [[First Lord of the Admiralty]] in the name of the [[monarch]]. Board review is extremely difficult, as there are a limited number of billets. <ref name="Military.com">[http://www.military.com/marine-corps/officer-ranks.html] ([[Marine Corps Officer Ranks]])</ref>  

If the soldier has completed their [[War Academy | Lieutenant General Exam]], they are eligible to be promoted to this rank, but needs to be confirmed by a Flag Officer Promotion Board. <ref name="TRMN">[http://www.trmn.org/portal/index.php/documents/finish/4-general/6-rmnm-001-membership-handbook] ([[Membership Handbook]])</ref> Promotions to Lieutenant General are now only by appointment, if a billet is available that requires it, such as Academy Commandant as per [[Admiralty Order 1510-01]].
