Commodore (Cmdre; French: commodore [cmdre]) is a Canadian Forces rank used by commissioned officers of the Royal Canadian Navy. Brigadier-general is the equivalent rank in the Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force.[1]
It is the lowest general/flag officer rank, senior to a naval Captain (colonel in Canadian Army or Air Force), and junior to a rear admiral (major general).
