Lieutenant colonel general


Lieutenant colonel general or sub-colonel general is a general officer rank in a number of Balkan armed forces. Its literal meaning is "sub-colonel general".
The rank of lieutenant colonel general represents a rationalisation of the situation in some armies of a lieutenant general outranking a major general, when a major outranks a lieutenant. In the Serbian Army, the rank of "sub-colonel" is used rather than "lieutenant colonel".
