The rank is the equivalent of a Lieutenant General in other countries and is junior to the rank of ''Général d'armée'' and senior to ''Général de division''. Officially, it is not a rank, but a style and position (''rang et appelation'' in French) bestowed upon some ''Généraux de division'' (which is the actual highest substantive rank).
The rank insignia is four silver stars arranged in a diamond pattern.
The equivalent rank in the Air Force is ''Général de corps d'armée aérien'' (General of Air Army Corps) and in the Navy is ''Vice-amiral d'escadre'' (Vice-Admiral of Squadron).
