List of Royal Marines full generals

May 15, 2023

This is a list of full generals in the Royal Marines. The rank of general (or full general to distinguish it from the lower general officer ranks) is the highest rank currently achievable by serving officers in the Royal Marines although no dedicated Royal Marines full general posts currently exist, unless they serve in tri-service positions. From the post's inception in 1943 up until 1977 and from 2022 the professional head of the Royal Marines, the Commandant General, has held the rank of full general. The rank of general is immediately superior to lieutenant-general.
