Best Answer

There is no specific name for a senior army officer.

An officer who is senior (higher) in rank/grade is addressed as Sir or Ma'am or by their rank. This applies to any grade officer, e.g., all personnel junior in rank to a captain (O3) address the captain as Sir, Ma'am, or Captain.

Based on age and typical years of service, grades O6-O10 and perhaps O5 would be considered as senior officers.

O5 - Lieutenant Colonel - LTC - Addressed as "Colonel"

06 - Colonel- COL - as "Colonel" - aka "Full" or "Bird" Colonel

07 - Brigadier General - 1 star

08 - Major General - 2 star

09 - Lieutenant General - 3 star

10 - General - 4 star

All General grade officers are addressed as "General".
