Lieutenant Colonel General

Lieutenant Colonel General

Lieutenant Colonel General, in Serbo-Croat "Генерал-Потпуковник" or "General-Potpukovnik" (in Serbian literally "Sub-Colonel General"), is a rank in some armies, notably the Serbian Army and Serbian Air Force.

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" (Pot"pukovnik" / Потпуковник ) is used rather than "lieutenant colonel" (Poručnik"pukovnik" / Поручникпуковникin).
