Lieutenant general (United States) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lieutenant general (United States)
In the United States Army, the United States Air Force and the United States Marine Corps, lieutenant general (abbreviated LTG in the Army, Lt Gen in the Air Force, and LtGen in the Marine Corps) is a three-star general officer rank, with the pay grade of O-9. Lieutenant general ranks above major general and below general. Lieutenant general is equivalent to the rank of vice admiral in the other uniformed services. ==Statutory limits==
The United States Code explicitly limits the total number of generals that may be concurrently active to 230 for the Army, 208 for the Air Force, and 60 for the Marine Corps.〔(10 USC § 526. Authorized strength: general and flag officers on active duty )〕 For the Army and Air Force, no more than about 25% of the service's active duty general officers may have more than two stars.〔() 10 USC 525. Distribution of commissioned officers on active duty in general officer and flag officer grades.〕 Some of these slots are reserved by statute. For example, in the Army and the Air Force, the Surgeon General〔() 10 USC 3036. Chiefs of branches: appointment; duties.〕 and the Judge Advocate General〔() Pub.L. 110-181: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008〕〔() Pub.L. 110-181: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 full text〕 for both branches are lieutenant generals. Officers serving in certain intelligence positions are not counted against either limit, including the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.〔() 10 USC 528. Officers serving in certain intelligence positions: military status; exclusion from distribution and strength limitations; pay and allowances.〕 The President may also add three-star slots to one service if they are offset by removing an equivalent number from other services.〔 Finally, all statutory limits may be waived at the president's discretion during time of war or national emergency.〔() 10 USC 527. Authority to suspend sections 523, 525, and 526.〕 The Superintendent of the United States Military Academy is almost always a U.S. Army lieutenant general; either upon appointment or shortly thereafter.
