The ranks probably originated in the 18th Century as armies became larger. My guess is that the rank of major general was created first to outrank the general of a brigade, or brigadier general as it was later known, and lt. general was created to denote a general who next in line to become as a general as a lt. governor is next in line to be a governor, but I do not know for sure. Today, a major general usually commands a division, and a lt. general usually commands a corps, but a major in the army is still higher than a lt.
no Lt. Colonel is higher Air Force Ranks: 2nd Lt, 1st Lt, Capt, Major, Lt Col, Col, Brig. Gen., Lt. Gen., Maj. Gen., General, then General of the air force ( which is like a 5 star general and normally only during time of war there will be one Dear Mr. William Galloway, With due respect to you, Mr. Galloway, I think Lt. General is one rank higher than Maj. General. In the order that you have mentioned the ranks in your posting, it appears that it is the other way. As far as my knowledge is concerned, a major general carries two stars while a lieutenant general carries three, a full pledge general, four. A brigadier general one. You are right on five-star general. As you surely know, among five-star generals were Gen. Omar Bradley, Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Pres. Dwight Eisenhower, to name just three.
