The rank of Brigadier General (or just Brigadier) (O7) is the commissioned officer rank in the Imperial Marines that commands a Brigade or has duties of similar importance.
Description (Specifications)
Each Brigade in the Imperial Marines and many Mercenary and those few Huscarle units of this size will be commanded by a Brigadier General. Several staff posts at Subsector level or higher are also held by Officers with this rank.
- The equivalent rank in the Imperial Navy is Commodore.
- The equivalent rank in the Imperial Army (Ground Forces Command) is Brigadier General.
Note that there are very few Imperial Marines Brigades, and thus this rank is most often seen as a staff, rather than a field, rank.
The appointment to this rank attracts the title of Knight[1].
n.b. When Imperial Marines refer to "The Brigadier General" they are, in fact referring to the Subsector Marshal.
History & Background (Dossier)
The word "brigadier" derives from the same root as the word "brigade" but the precise origin of "brigade" is obscure. However, the title is meaning The general officer who commands a brigade.
