In the army, a Lt General thus is a rank just below that of a General. Yes there is a confusion, no doubt, but the root comes from one being a second to the rank of a General and the other (Major General), being senior to a Brig General.
COL Rank Description: The Colonel usually commands a brigade (consisting of 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers) and is assisted by a Command Sergeant Major. Alternatively, can serve as a chief of divisional level staff agencies. Promotion Requirements: Must have 3 years TIG as a Lieutenant Colonel. TIS is typically 22 years but based on needs of the Army can fluctuate +/- 1 year. Getting promoted to Colonel becomes more competitive as only 50 percent of those qualified based on TIS/TIG will be selected for promotion. Paygrade O-7 Brigadier General (BG) BG Rank Description: The Brigadier General serves as the deputy commander for the commanding general of an Army division. Assists with the staff's coordination and planning of a mission. Promotion Requirements: The rank of Brigadier General is limited to a total of 150 for the entire Army.
