General

A General was one of the highest officer ranks, who was responsible for the command, management and strategies employed by ground based military forces. In the Clone Wars the Jedi assumed this rank as a needed stepping stone to prioritize the galaxy's defense as they have for centuries.

Grand Army of the Republic
With the start of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Order had appointed Jedi Knights and Masters as Generals to command the Grand Army of the Republic. Their army consisted of only the Clones that were being supplied from the planet Kamino. Along with the Jedi Generals were high ranking Clone Officer or Commander that served as a second in command to them.

Notable Jedi Generals included Knights such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Plo Koon, and Masters such as Mace Windu, Kit Fisto and Yoda.
