__NOTOC__ The term "general of the branch" or "general of the branch of service" refers to a rank equivalent to a three-star lieutenant general or four-star general. Several nations divide, or have once divided, their general officers by the branch of troops they are qualified to command, or simply as an honorific title. ==Austria-Hungary== In the Austro-Hungarian Army there were three ''general of the branch'' ranks from 1867 to 1918: *General der Infanterie (en: General of the Infantry) *General der Kavallerie (en: General of the Cavalry) *Feldzeugmeister (en: General of the Artillery) Historically, the rank of general of artillery ((ドイツ語:Feldzeugmeister); literally "battlefield ordnance master"; "gun master";〔The term is German. ''Feld-'' means battlefield, as used in the German ''Feldmarschall'' ("field marshal"), and ''-zeug-'' refers to the guns used by the artillery〕 in Hungarian ''Táborszernagy'') was equivalent to lieutenant general. In French, the equivalent expression was ''grand maitre d'artillerie'', used since the time of Philip VI of France. The English position of Master-General of the Ordnance was similarly derived. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「general of the branch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
