How many men does a general command?

There are at least five ranks of general (including brigadier) officers in the military of most countries. Command is assigned by managerial skills, not number of subordinates. The lowest rank of general can command around 3000 to 5000 troops in a standard situation. This is highly variable depending on the nature of the command structure, mission, and location. The top general (or marshal) commands the whole of the branch of service (army, marine, or air force) which can be hundreds of thousands of troops.
