Note on Grades and Ranks

A “Grade” signifies the position or level in the officer hierarchy (e.g., Brigadier-General or Major-General) and “Rank” refers to the order of precedence within the grade signified by the date from which the award “ranks”, regardless of the actual date of appointment by the President of the United States or confirmation by the United States Senate. For example, two people may hold the same Grade of Brigadier-General, but one will “rank” higher as their seniority is higher in the table of Rank; usually, but not necessarily, their seniority dates from the date of appointment but it may differ. The term “rank” is commonly used when actually referring to an officer’s grade.
