A Lieutenant General normally ranks immediately below a General and above a Major General . The term Major General is a shortened version of the previous term Sergeant Major General , which was in turn subordinate to Lieutenant General, which is why a Lieutenant General outranks a Major General whereas a Major is senior to a Lieutenant . In many countries, a rank of Corps General has replaced the earlier rank of Lieutenant-General (e.g. France). However, for convenience, this is often translated into English as Lieutenant General. In the Argentine Army , Lieutenant General is the highest rank used, the actual highest rank of Captain General being bestowed posthumously upon independence leader José De San Martín .
