From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An officer of 1 star rank is a senior commander in any of the armed services holding a rank described by the NATO code of OF-6. The term is also used by some armed forces which are not NATO members. Typically, 1 star officers would hold the rank of Commodore, Brigadier General or in the case of those air forces with a separate rank structure, Air Commodore.
