Ranks The senior Australian Army ranks are: *Senior Officer: brigadier. *General: brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, general.An Australian brigadier is not classed as a "general", whereas an Australian brigadier general was.

In the interim titles such as 'colonel-in-command', 'colonel-of-staff' and 'colonel-commandant' were used for officers posted into that level of command.(Cadet Instructor's Handbook 2006) *Marshal: field marshal.
