==Rank structure==
The rank structure of the German army is adjusted to the rank structure of [[NATO]]. Unlike its predecessors, the modern German Army does not use the rank of [[Colonel General]].
The highest rank for an army officer is [[Lieutenant General]], as the rank of [[General|Full General]] is reserved for the Armed Forces chief of staff or officers serving as NATO officers.<br />
Officer cadets do not pass through all enlisted ranks, but are directly promoted to [[Lieutenant]] after 36 months of service.<br />
Equivalent US Army ranks are shown below according to "STANAG 2116 NSA MC LO (EDITION 6) – NATO CODES FOR GRADES OF MILITARY PERSONNEL":
