A rear-admiral is a flag officer, the naval equivalent of a general officer. A rear-admiral is senior to a commodore and brigadier-general, and junior to a vice-admiral and lieutenant-general.
A Rear Admiral Lower Half is most often promoted from Captain (CAPT), although promotion from lower paygrades may occur with sufficient display of leadership and experience. Like an officer's promotions to LCDR and CDR, achieving the rank of CAPT is competitive, with only 50% of CDRs progressing forward.
