The following is an incomplete list of Australian Army brigadiers and other senior Australian Army officers. (There is a separate list of Australian Army generals.) Ranks An Australian Army brigadier is not classed as a "general", whereas an Australian Army brigadier general was. The senior Australian Army ranks are: Senior Officer: brigadier. General: brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, general. Marshal: field marshal. Background The British Army replaced the rank of brigadier general with colonel-commandant in 1922, and then with brigadier in 1928. The rank insignia was changed from crossed sabre and baton to crown with three stars ("pips") to reflect that a brigadier is a senior colonel rather than a junior general.
