Generallöjtnant
Lieutenant General (LtGen) ( sv, Generallöjtnant, Genlt) is a Three-star rank, three-star commissioned Officer (armed forces), officer rank in the Swedish Army, Swedish Air Force and Swedish Amphibious Corps. Lieutenant general ranks immediately above Generalmajor (Sweden), major general and below a General (Sweden), general. The rank is equivalent to Vice admiral (Sweden), vice admiral in the Swedish Navy. History The lieutenant general was originally the General (Sweden), general's deputy (''Locum, locum tenens'') or closest man. The lieutenant general was usually the commander of a Division (Sweden), division. Historically, during the 20th century, lieutenant generals were promoted one grade upon retirement to full four-star general. Following a proposal from the Swedish Armed Forces, the Government of Sweden decides on employment as a general of any rank. In everyday speech, generals of all ranks are addressed as generals.
