Major General (Staff) = "UK Military English" rendition Explanation: Greetings.... taHaiya Tayyiba wa b3ad... That military rank is rendered in "UK English" as "Major General (Staff)". BACKGROUND: The adjectival term "Staff" signifies that the holder is a military officer who is also a graduate of a mid-level Command and General Staff College (CGSC). The full 'military rank designation string' composed of: Rank + (qualification # 1)(qualification # 2)(qualification # 3) = Colonel (Staff)(Parachutist)(Engineer) is a common practice in militaries influenced by the British or Soviet/Russian system of designations. ------------------------- That military rank is rendered in "US Military English" as "Major General" (abbrev. as "MG") BACKGROUND: While the qualifier as "staff" does not appear after the rank, graduation from such a CGSC is implicit for the cited officer to have reached that high a rank. The corresponding rank insignia in US military services is two stars. The next-higher rank in the Arabic: "Fariq" = lieutenant general = three stars Hope this helps. Khair, in shaa' Allah.
