Flag officer corresponds to the generic terms general officer, used by land and some air forces to describe all grades of generals, and air officer, used by other air forces to describe all grades of air marshals and air commodores. Some flag officers may be assigned a junior officer, called a flag lieutenant or flag adjutant, attached as a personal adjutant or aide-de-camp. Uniforms for officers in such roles are distinguished by a gold aiguillette, which lead to the common diminutive, "loop", and misconception that this junior officer was the flag officer...
