Mayor general es un rango militar de nivel alto utilizado en varios países. Es un rango paralelo al general de división en algunos otros ejércitos, y en algunos países se refiere a él extraoficialmente como «general de dos estrellas».
A major-general is a general officer, the equivalent of a naval flag officer. The major-general rank is senior to the ranks of brigadier general and commodore, and junior to lieutenant-general and vice admiral. Prior to 1968, the Air Force used the rank of air vice-marshal, instead.
In the United States Armed Forces, a major general is a two-star general officer in the United States Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force. A major general ranks above a brigadier general and below a lieutenant general. The pay grade of major general is O-8.
