How it's used
This rank is used in the military to denote a specific level of general officer. It is a formal title that is rarely used in casual daily conversation unless discussing military hierarchy or specific historical figures. In the context of the Hong Kong disciplined services, this specific rank does not exist as the police and fire services use different naming conventions for their senior officers.
