An Adjutant-General is the chief administrative officer of a military formation. Adjutant-generals take charge of personnel matters such as postings, transfers and assignments, the proper keeping of personnel records and the welfare and morale of servicemen. The term describes a job position and not a rank, so an adjutant-general need not necessarily be a general, although at a high level formation such as a Corps, it frequently is. The position of adjutant-general of a unit is normally held by an officer of the Adjutant-General's Corps.
