Best Answer

A one star US Army General (Brigadier General-for Brigade Commander). A US Army brigade is authorized a full Colonel as commander; if the brigade is deployed alone (without a division), such as the 1st Brigade of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division was in Vietnam (the only one to be deployed as such); then that brigade is authorized a General to command it; hence a Brigadier General.
