One-star Rank
An officer of one-star rank is a senior commander in many of the armed services holding a rank described by the NATO code of OF-6. The term is also used by some armed forces which are not NATO members. Typically, one-star officers hold the rank of commodore, flotilla admiral, senior colonel, brigadier general, brigadier, or in the case of those air forces with a separate rank structure, air commodore. Officers of one-star rank are either the most junior of the flag, general and air officer ranks, or are not considered to hold the distinction at all.

The air force rank of air commodore is always considered to be an air-officer rank. Australia In the Australian Defen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
