He received his military training under King Frederick William I of Prussia. In 1723, he was promoted to lieutenant-general and appointed as governor of Minden. He left the Prussian army in 1730. He later served as field marshal lieutenant in the Swedish army, as general in the Hessian army and as lieutenant general in the Imperial army.
He was probably very close friends with his elder brother, King Frederick of Sweden and visited him in Stockholm several times.
George Charles died in 1755, unmarried and childless.
