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.

How many soldiers could a centurion command?

Most ancient remains pervail the knowledge that a Roman Centurion could control 100 men.His command would depend on his rank. There were many ranks of "centurion". The lowest ranking centurion commanded a century which was 80 men, contrary to popular belief that a century consisted of 100 men. If he commanded a cohort, he would command 480 men and if he were the "first spear" and commanded the first cohort, he had about 800 men under his command. The camp prefect, who was also a centurion, commanded the entire legion in the absence of the general and senior officers.
