List of generals of the Lithuanian military
List of generals of the Lithuanian Armed Forces includes people that were awarded the rank of general by the independent Republic of Lithuania in 1918–40 or since 1990.
Interwar
There were 54 generals awarded the rank in interwar Lithuania. Seven of them earned their rank in a foreign military, specifically, in the Imperial Russian Army, the Russian White Army, and the British Army. Four men earned rank of general in a foreign military and served in the Lithuanian Army, but were not awarded the rank of general in Lithuania and are therefore not included in the list below.On 13 September 1919, Lithuania established two ranks of generals – lieutenant general and general. On 11 December 1936, these ranks were changed to brigadier general, divisional general, and general. After the Soviet occupation of Lithuania on 15 June 1940, the Lithuanian Army was repressed and its remains were absorbed into the 179th Rifle and 184th Rifle Divisions of the Red Army and adopted Russian ranks.
Four generals of the Imperial Russian Army served in the Lithuanian Army but were not officially recognized as generals in Lithuania:
- , claimed to be a general who lost his documents. He served in the Lithuanian army from May 1919 to March 1920. He later joined the Polish Army.
- Kyprian Kandratovich served from 24 November to 24 December 1918
- Rapolas Okulič-Kazarinas served from 28 March to 27 April 1919
- Vladas Dionizas Slaboševičius served from 1 July to 28 September 1919
Anti-Soviet resistance
Three men were posthumously awarded the rank of general for their contributions to the anti-Soviet resistance, in particular the Lithuanian Liberty Army, the Union of Lithuanian Freedom Fighters and the Lithuanian partisan movement in 1998. They did not serve as generals in the Lithuanian Army as it ceased to exist in 1940.| # | Name | Born | Died | Promoted general |
