The commanding officers of all [[Star League Defense Force]] assets were known as either '''Commanding General''' or '''Commanding Admiral''', depending on their branch of service (Army or Navy). This officer reported directly to the [[First Lord]] and the [[Star League Council]]. Prior to the formation of the Second Star League and [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]'s appointment, the last Commanding General was [[Aleksandr Kerensky]], who led approximately 80% of the SLDF into the [[Periphery]] as a part of [[Operation Exodus]].
The '''Commanding General''' or '''Commanding Admiral''', depending on their branch of service, was the commander-in-chief of the original [[Star League Defense Force]] and afterwards the [[Second Star League Defense Force]]. The commanding officer of the first SLDF was appointed by [[First Lord]], with the approval of the [[Star_League#High_Council|Star League Council]].<ref>''The Star League'', p. 112</ref> 
 
  
In the second SLDF, the commanding officer was also appointed by the First Lord, with the Council of Lords only able to override an appointment by two-thirds majority.<ref>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 79</ref>  The commanding officer had the authority to deploy up to ten regiments of troops, with larger deployments requiring the authorization of the Council.<ref>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 76</ref>
