WHAT DOES FLAG RANK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Flag officer

A flag officer is a commissioned officer in a nation's armed forces senior enough to be entitled to fly a flag to mark the position from which the officer exercises command. The term usually, but not exclusively, refers to the senior officers in an English-speaking nation's navy, specifically those who hold any of the admiral ranks; in some cases it applies also to those holding the rank of commodore. In US usage, it is additionally applied to Coast Guard officers and general officers in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps entitled to fly their own flags. In India, it is applied to brigadiers, major generals, lieutenant generals and generals in the Army. The equivalents are commodore, rear admiral, vice admiral and admiral in the Navy and air commodore, air vice marshal, air marshal and air chief marshal in the Air Force. Each of these category of flag officers is designated with a specific flag. India's honorary ranks are field marshal in the Army, marshal of the Indian Air Force in the Air Force and admiral of the fleet in the Navy.
