| |
Marshal (Portuguese: Marechal) is the highest rank in the Brazilian Army and the Brazilian Air Force, where the latter is titled Marechal-do-Ar (literally Marshal of the Air). These ranks are equivalent to that of Admiral in the Navy. A marshal is distinguished by using five stars, which for a marshal of the air are in the approximate position of Southern Cross and for a marshal in the army, in the form of "X". The five stars of Admiral are in the shape of a pentagon.
Until the structural reform of 1967, the Brazilian Army, army generals (with four stars), when moving to the reservs, were awarded the fifth star for automatically.

Marshal (Portuguese: Marechal) is the highest rank in the Brazilian Army and the Brazilian Air Force, where the latter is titled Marechal-do-Ar (literally Marshal of the Air). These ranks are equivalent to that of Admiral in the Navy. A marshal is distinguished by using five stars, which for a marshal of the air are in the approximate position of Southern Cross and for a marshal in the army, in the form of "X". The five stars of Admiral are in the shape of a pentagon.
Until the structural reform of 1967, the Brazilian Army, army generals (with four stars), when moving to the reservs, were awarded the fifth star for automatically. With the reform, there will be only the promotion of a general to marshal the event of war. In 1975, the Army had 73 marshals - meaning that there were more Brazilian marshals than French and English ones together throughout the twentieth century. Today, Brazil has only one living marshal, Waldemar Levy Cardoso.
The last marshal was active in the Brazilian Mascarenhas de Moraes, depending on the position of commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, which by a decree of the National Congress was held honorary lifetime in the form of active troops, until his death in 1968.
In the imperial period, the patent was named marshal of the army.
Several Marshals became President of Brazil especially after the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, noteably Humberto de Alencar Castello Branco and Artur da Costa e Silva.
