Lieutenant general (Pakistan)
Lieutenant general[1] is a three-star army officer rank in the Pakistan Army. It is equivalent to a Federal Secretary in the civil service, a vice admiral in the Pakistan Navy and an air marshal in the Pakistan Air Force. A lieutenant general is also called a three-star general. Like other armies, this rank is higher than a major general and lower than a full general.[2][3] There are currently 28 Lieutenant Generals in the Pakistan Army, with each usually presiding over a corps.[4]

The Pakistan Army is followed the British Army rank system since its independence from the British Empire in 1947. However, the crown in the ranks has been replaced with a star and crescent, which symbolizes the sovereignty of the Government of Pakistan.[5]

gollark: Nvidia added real-time raytracing stuff to distract from the lack of significant generational price/performance improvement (because of poor competition in the market), and machine learning stuff for some reason, and then hyped them so much that they threw out stuff like "sanity" and "consistent branding".
gollark: AMD's got a 5700 XT "Anniversary Edition", though...
gollark: Nvidia's done it stupidly *too*! It goes GTX 9x0 (Ti) → GTX 10x0 (Ti) → RTX 20x0 (Ti) + GTX 16x0 (Ti) (in the same generation) → now some of them have "Super" variants for some reason and some are being replaced by the super versions but some aren't.
gollark: The prices seem to be weirdly shifted in Australia.
gollark: If you want something slightly better than your current GPU, there's the RX 580, which is quite cheap, and yes the naming schemes are stupid.
