than who do u want to be gen?Originally posted by tt3:actually those generals shldnt b general... they nv fight war b4.. -
THe rank exists.
Just that no one is qualified to hold it.
Correct me if i am wrong, Israel don't normally have a 4 star rank unless required.
Some armies don't even have Star ranks... stop at Colonel.
Singapore would have 4 star if NS battalions are activated. -
3 stars maximum
-
Some countries like the US only have 4 star as the normal general. Only when there is a war like the case of WWII, they have 5 star.
Not sure about the case of Singapore. Heard that most officers will be promoted one rank when there is a war. Any one can verify?
And I have never seen anyone at Beach Road sell 4 star rank.

phuck. Only officers promote? Then the men on the ground how?Originally posted by acwire_2125:Some countries like the US only have 4 star as the normal general. Only when there is a war like the case of WWII, they have 5 star.

demoted to slaves lor.

correct me if i'm wrong, but the number of stars determine the army size
Singapore only has 1 army, so only up to 3 stars
US has up to Corp strength, so have 4 stars
and contrary to popular beliefs, during conflict, NS battalions will be the first to be fielded, after the standby units -
Not really, when you are talking about more than 500k troops, that is more than one Army.
I'd say a 4 star field rank exists.
-
Corps is a smaller unit than army. Usually, 3 corps make up one army. In times of war, armies may be collected into army groups, which are usually commanded by 4-star generals.Originally posted by 12qwaszx:correct me if i'm wrong, but the number of stars determine the army size

I still consider him to be an MG, for the fact that he has field command experience, something which many of our BGs or even COAs lack. -
Chief Of Arty, he was already an MG...coincidental he was selected Force Commander...
