−	'''General of the Armies''' is a military rank assigned to the highest serving officer in the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] and the [[Lyran Alliance Armed Forces]]. Reporting directly to the [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]], this officer is responsible for every action taken by the LAAF.<ref name=FMLA32>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 32</ref> This rank is similar in its responsibilities to the [[AFFS]] [[Marshal of the Armies]], [[DCMS]] ''[[Gunji-no-Kanrei]]'', or the [[CCAF]] ''[[Sang-jiang-jun]]'', serving as the supreme commander for the nation's entire military unless overruled by the head of state.<ref>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 113</ref>

−	The rank of General of the Armies was defunct from 3042 until the rank reorganization originating with [[Archon's Order 5730023]] in 3057, resulting in the ascent of Nondi Steiner to the post.
