The positions that a Japanese lieutenant general can hold are: joint captain, brigade commander and division chief of staff. Although the chief of staff of the division is mainly from the upper school, because they belong to different systems, they work beside the head of the division (Lieutenant General), and their actual power is greater than that of the brigade commander below Major General;
The captain mainly holds the position of captain and vice captain in the army, the navy lieutenant mainly holds the position of captain and vice captain of warships, and the air force lieutenant mainly holds the position of flight captain.
Shaozuo is equivalent to the level of deputy head and battalion commander.
