'''Brigadier general''' or '''brigade general''' is a [[military rank]] used in many countries. The rank is usually above a [[colonel]], and below a [[major general]] or [[divisional general]]. When appointed to a field command, a brigadier general is typically in command of a [[brigade]] consisting of around 4,000 troops (two regiments or four [[battalion]]s).
