Chief Marshal
The ranks of Marshal of a branch (Russian: Маршал рода войск, Marshal roda voisk) and Chief Marshal of a branch (Russian: Главный Маршал рода войск, Glavni Marshal roda voisk) were senior military ranks of the Soviet Armed Forces. Immediately above the rank "Marshal of a branch" is the rank "Chief Marshal of a branch". Both ranks are immediately above the rank "Colonel General" and equal to Soviet General of the Army. The ranks were created as an analog to Air Marshal and Air Chief Marshal, though they weren't used just in the Soviet Air Force but also in the several Soviet Army's branch commands.

Famous quotes containing the word chief:
“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
