Which category includes O-7 and O-8?

• A. General Grade
• B. Field Grade
• C. Company Grade
• D. Non-Commissioned Officers

Answer: (A)

O-7 and O-8 are general officers, the first ranks that move into the general officer tier. In the officer ranking structure, company grade covers junior officers (O-1 through O-3), field grade covers mid-level officers (O-4 through O-6), and general/flag officers are at O-7 and above. Because O-7 (Brigadier General) and O-8 (Major General) fall into that general officer category, the correct choice is General Grade. These ranks represent the highest level of commissioned leadership, typically with broad command and strategic responsibilities, distinguishing them from enlisted personnel and lower commissioned ranks.
