"Flag ranks" refer to the highest levels of military officer positions, typically found in naval and air forces. These ranks are designated by the use of flags or insignia that represent the officer's authority and command. Common flag ranks include Admiral in the navy and General in the army, with each rank having specific responsibilities and leadership roles. In many countries, flag ranks are often associated with senior leadership and strategic decision-making. Officers at these ranks usually oversee large units or entire branches of the military, ensuring that operations align with national defense objectives and policies.
