'''Major General''' is a general-grade [[commissioned officer]] of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], [[UNSC Army]], and [[UNSC Air Force]], equal in rank to [[Rear Admiral (Upper Half)]] in the [[UNSC Navy]].
 
Given that other officer ranks command the same unit groupings as their modern day U.S. counterparts, a Major General probably commands division sized units. This has yet to be observed in the Halo universe though. They may also serve as high-level staff officers at major commands.
 
In informal settings, Major Generals are typically referred to simply as "General".
 
A Major General may be also referred to as a "two-star General" to distinguish it from the other ranks of General; so named for the two star rank insignia worn on the uniform.
