As a traditional grade, brigadier (also known as brigadier general) is the most junior flag officer rank or the most senior field officer rank, of a fighting organization, by definition it is the officer in charge of a brigade. In comparison to naval ranking systems, this rank is equivalent to the naval commodore (or rear admiral lower half) ranks.
