Best Answer

Senior ranks in the ancient Egyptian army are not clearly understood, mainly because titles were invented or changed over time and were not constant, unlike those of junior officers. We know that the King had overall command of the army, with a vizier acting as a kind of war-minister. Under him were various senior offers we might term generals.

Marshals of chariot troops in the New Kingdom were called imi-r ssmwt ("He who is over the horses"); titles such as Overseer of the army" and "King's Sole Companion" were given to very senior officers.
