Lieutenant generals typically command divisions, which are larger military formations that can consist of tens of thousands of soldiers. In contrast, regiments are smaller units that fall under the command of a colonel or brigadier general. The structure allows lieutenant generals to oversee broader operational strategies and resources at the divisional level.
Powerful generals can lead to the collapse of a republic by undermining civilian authority and loyalty to the state. Their military might and popularity can enable them to challenge or disregard democratic institutions, fostering a culture of reliance on military strength rather than political consensus. Additionally, when generals prioritize personal ambition over the collective good, they can create divisions within society and destabilize the republican framework, ultimately paving the way for authoritarian rule. Such dynamics can erode public trust in the government and diminish the effectiveness of democratic governance.
All information gleaned from the following website: www.history.navy.mil/trivia/triv4-5m.htm Originally the King was the ultimate commander in times of war. He appointed Captains to run the wars. They were termed " Captain Generals" to denoted their rank of head of the war effort in an overall or "general" sphere of operations. If the Captain Generals had too much on their plate, they appoint assistants or Lieutenants. They took the name Lieutenant Generals. The suppley and administration of small units were usually done by the Sergeant Major, sooo when the Captain General needed some good admin guys he appointed men as Sergeant Major Generals. Colonels ran Regiments. When there were too many Regiments for the existing Generals to have effective control , they created Brigades who were then commanded by Brigadiers General. Over the years as the scope and specifics of the various duties changed, the prefixes were many times dropped, so we had Generals, Lieutenant Generals Major Generals and Brigadier Generals.
