'''Lieutenant General''' is a military rank used by the land and air forces of the [[United States]] as well as a number of foreign countries. In the United States, a lieutenant general ranks between a major general and a general, and the paygrade is designated O-9, equivalent to a [[Vice Admiral]] in the Navy. In the United States, the first Lieutenant General was [[George Washington]], and the rank was not again reauthorized until the Civil War, allowing General [[U.S. Grant]] to outrank all other generals in the army (Winfield Scott was given a [[brevet]] promotion to Lieutenant General, but not a regular promotion).
