List of serving generals of the Bangladesh Army

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 62.239.159.6 (talk) at 16:46, 20 July 2018 (Removal twice repeated post). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of the serving generals of the Bangladesh Army's General Officer posts.

Contrary to the popular belief, the Bangladesh Army rank of Brigadier is not a General Officer rank, unlike in the U.S. Army and most NATO forces. The Bangladesh Army follows the British Army setup of considering a Brigadier as the senior Field Officer rank.

At present, the army has one General, three Lieutenant-Generals, 50 Major-Generals and over 80 brigadiers in post.
