- Brigade_major abstract "A brigade major was the chief of staff of a brigade in the British Army. He most commonly held the rank of major, although the appointment was also held by captains, and was head of the brigade's "G - Operations and Intelligence" section directly, and oversaw the two other branches, "A - Administration" and "Q - Quartermaster". Intentionally ranked lower than the lieutenant-colonels commanding the brigade's combat battalions, his role was to expand on, detail and execute the intentions of the commanding brigadier.In 1913, staff captains of artillery in the British Army were re-styled as brigade majors to bring them into line with cavalry and infantry practice. The title is however no longer used except in the Household Division and in divisional-level artillery headquarters. As of 2014, the title is still retained by 16 Air Assault Brigade.During the Great War, the brigade major was reportedly "a key personality who affected the health and happiness of the battalions," as he would be in most frequent contact with the front-line troops and held responsibility for the planning of brigade operations. Many brigade majors held the rank of captain, e.g., the future prime minister Anthony Eden, who was a brigade major at the age of twenty-one.The practice of using brigade majors has continued in some Commonwealth armies, such as those of India. The position was a standard fixture in the Canadian Army until c. 1984, when the brigade G-3 replaced it, in line with other NATO nations.".
