Brigadier general is a senior rank in the armed forces. It is the lowest ranking general officer in some countries, usually sitting between the ranks of colonel and major general. When appointed to a field command, a brigadier general is typically in command of a brigade consisting of around 4,000 troops (four battalions). In some countries a brigadier general is informally designated as a one-star general (OF-6).
In some countries, this rank is given the name of brigadier, which is often considered not to be a general-officer rank, but is usually equivalent to brigadier general in the armies of nations that use the rank.
The rank can be traced back to the militaries of Europe where a brigadier general, or simply a brigadier, would command a brigade in the field. An alternative rank of "brigade general" was first used in the French revolutionary armies.
In the first quarter of the 20th century, British and Commonwealth armies used the rank of brigadier general as a temporary appointment, or as an honorary appointment on retirement; in the 1920s this practice changed to the use of brigadier, which was not classed as a general officer.
Craft in America, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, California. Conceived and founded by Carol Sauvion, its mission is to document the history and current practice of hand crafted work in America, and further an appreciation of its significance.
Its Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning PBS television documentary series Craft in America journeys to a wide range of artist studios, institutions and community groups across the nation. The show first aired in 2007 and has produced 13 episodes thus far exploring themes such as "Memory," "Process," and, most recently, "Service".
Additional projects include the Craft in America Study Center which offers artists’ talks, access to an extensive library and archive of video footage, a touring exhibition, and an illustrated book.
A general officer is an officer of high rank in the army, and in some nations' air forces or marines.
The term "general" is used in two ways: as the generic title for all grades of general officer and as a specific rank. It originates in the 16th century, as a shortening of captain general, which rank was taken from Middle French capitaine général. The adjective general had been affixed to officer designations since the late medieval period to indicate relative superiority or an extended jurisdiction.
Today, the title of "General" is known in some countries as a four-star rank. However different countries use different systems of stars for senior ranks. It has a NATO code of OF-9 and is the highest rank currently in use in a number of armies.
The various grades of general officer are at the top of the military rank structure. Lower-ranking officers in land-centric military forces are typically known as field officers or field-grade officers, and below them are company-grade officers.
Brigadier /brɪɡəˈdɪər/ is a military rank, the seniority of which depends on the country.
In some countries, it is a senior rank above colonel, equivalent to a brigadier general, typically commanding a brigade of several thousand men.
In other countries, it is a non-commissioned rank (e.g. Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands).
In many countries, especially those formerly part of the British Empire, a brigadier is either the highest field rank or most junior general appointment, nominally commanding a brigade. It ranks above colonel and below major general.
The rank is used by the British Army, the Royal Marines, the Australian Army, the Indian Army, the Sri Lankan Army, the New Zealand Army, the Pakistan Army and several others. Although it is not always considered a general officer rank, it is always considered equivalent to the brigadier general and brigade general rank of other countries. In NATO forces, brigadier is OF-6 on the rank scale.

✩ Operation Market Garden (September 17-September 25, 1944) was an Allied military operation in World War II.
