 O-13  	 	 General of the Armies (GA)As the two ministries, the Army and Navy are the only "branches" authorized to possess an O-13 paygrade under the "Special Appointment and Honorary Flag Officers" category. Typically, the only officers to hold these ranks are the Chairmen of the Colonial Forces Council, who upon promotion to the office are awarded the rank of their respective branch. Following one's ascension from the office, they may choose to retire or continue their service as an O-12 (High Marshal or Grand Admiral) with the status, customs, and privileged of their former rank. In an honorary capacity, those promoted to O-13 are generally deceased officers who have a standing within history for selfless exemplary service to the colonies; the suffix "...of the United Nations " or "...of the Colonies ", depending on when they served, is added to their title. High flag officers may be promoted to the O-13 grade during time of emergency, when a Colonial Forces officer needs to be in equal stature to a foreign allied officer, or under special circumstances when the need for a supreme official is granted by The Chancellery and The Congress. 	 Admiral of the Fleet (ADMF)  	 N/AAs subordinate branches under the command of the Army and Navy ministries, the Army Colonial Air Guard and Marine Corps, respectively, do not possess O-13 ranks. If an Air Guard or Marine Corps officer has been appointed as Chairman of the Council, they will be promoted to become O-12 officers (if not already) with the additional privilege of the special titles of "Air High Marshal of the Forces" or "Fleet Marshal of the Forces." 	 N/A
