General (Bengali: জেনারেল, romanized: Jēnārēla) is a four star general officer rank in the Bangladesh Army. It is the highest achieved rank in the Bangladesh Army. General ranks above the three star rank of Lieutenant general. The rank is denoted as a full-fledged general to extricate subordinate officers - Lieutenant general and Major general which are also general officers.
The rank was established in 2007, when Moeen U Ahmed was promoted to this rank.[1][2][3][4] Only the Chief of Army Staff (CAS) of Bangladesh Army gets this rank.
The current General and CAS of Bangladesh Army is General Waker-uz-Zaman.[5]
