A Major general is a high ranking, presidentially appointed, commissioned officer in the United States Armed Forces. Major generals outrank Brigadier Generals and are subordinate to Lieutenant Generals. Major general is considered a two-star rank, hence the term "two-star general".[1] They serve as commanders of divisions of up to 16,000 troops. There are currently 99 active duty major generals in the United States Army.[2]
