Lieutenant-General (Lt-Gen) is a senior rank in the British Army and the Royal Marines. A Lieutenant-General is superior to a Major-General but subordinate to a full General. The rank has a NATO rank code of OF-8, equivalent to a Vice-Admiral in the Royal Navy or an Air Marshal in the Royal Air Force (RAF) or the air forces of many Commonwealth countries. The rank insignia is a crown over a crossed sabre and baton.
