Air chief marshal : ウィキペディア英語版 | Air chief marshal
Air chief marshal (Air Chf Mshl or ACM) is a very senior air force rank which originated in and continues to be used by the Royal Air Force (RAF). The rank is also used by the air forces of many countries which have historical British influence and it is sometimes used as the English translation of an equivalent rank in countries which have a non-English air force-specific rank structure. ==Seniority==
Air chief marshal is a four-star〔(Air of Authority - A History of RAF Organisation - Glossary )〕 air officer rank and has a NATO ranking code of OF-9.〔https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/34838/20101130_narrative_and_payscales.pdf〕 An air chief marshal is equivalent to a "full" admiral or a "full" general in the United Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere. The rank of air chief marshal is immediately senior to the rank of air marshal but subordinate to marshal of the Royal Air Force (or other national equivalent - see marshal of the air force). Although no serving RAF officer has been promoted to marshal of the Royal Air Force since the British defence cuts of the 1990s, British air chief marshals are not the most senior officers in the RAF as several officers continue to retain the RAF's highest rank. Additionally, Lord Stirrup was granted an honorary promotion to marshal of the Royal Air Force in 2014. The marshals are still to be found on the RAF's active list even though they have for all practical purposes retired. A similar situation also exists in the Indian Air Force as the honorary promotion of Arjan Singh to marshal of the Indian Air Force in 2002 resulted in Indian air chief marshals no longer being the most senior IAF officers.
