A military flag officer is a senior military officer who holds a rank typically above that of a captain or its equivalent, often including ranks such as rear admiral, vice admiral, or admiral in naval forces, and brigadier general or major general in army and air forces. The term "flag officer" derives from the practice of these officers flying flags to denote their command at sea or in the field. Flag officers are responsible for significant operational leadership and strategic decision-making within their respective branches of the armed forces.
