A NATO two-star general's rank insignia

An officer of two-star rank is a senior commander in many of the armed services holding a rank described by the NATO code of OF-7. The term is also used by some armed forces which are not NATO members. Typically, two-star officers would hold the rank of rear admiral or counter admiral, major general, or in the case of those air forces with a separate rank structure, air vice-marshal.

Rather than stars, the Canadian Forces insignia use maple leaves.

The maple leaves appear with St. Edward's crown and crossed sabre and baton.
