2 star rank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An officer of 2 star rank is a senior commander in any of the armed services holding a rank described by the NATO code of OF-7. The term is also used by some armed forces which are not NATO members. Typically, 2 star officers would hold the rank of Rear Admiral, Major General or in the case of those air forces with a separate rank structure, Air Vice-Marshal.
