ArchGeneral of the Army, Marine Corps and Special Forces was the highest commissioned officer rank in the Army of Palaven and Marine Corps of Palaven. Only one member of either of these forces could hold this rank, and it gave them complete operational, logistical and strategic authority over the Army, Marine Corps and the individual special forces units, including the Blackwatch, Cabal Corps and Armiger Legion; the closest equivalent in the Systems Alliance military would be General of the Army. The ArchGeneral held a dual position in the Commune of the Armed Forces and the Commune of the Hierarchs, answering to Palaven Military Command the Primarch and Metarch. The ArchGeneral also had the added position of being a potential candidate for becoming the next Primarch.
The last ArchGeneral of the Turian Hierarchy was Destinia Bituscus, who led the turian army and marines during the last three years of the Post-Apocalyptic War, following the death of the previous ArchGeneral at the Third Battle of the Citadel. She was later captured by the Galactic Dominion after the Hierarchy's surrender and dissolution. She refused to capitulate, and was later executed as a result. The title 'ArchGeneral' would not be used again until the formation of the Neo-Turian Empire, but under a new name.
