The General is a special infantry unit that appears in singleplayer missions in Command & Conquer: Red Alert.

Game unit

Mechanically, the General is a infantry unit equipped with the same pistol as Technicians. However, the General is virtually never used unmodified, and instead serves as the basis for several special units, such as Volkov, Kosygin or Stavros.

Should the General board a Chinook, the Chinook will fly off the map, as it does when a map is set to feature evacuation of civilians. However, the General will always be evacuated, no matter the setting.

Trivia

Red Alert's rules.ini refers to the General as the "Field Marshal".
