| الفريق أول ركن طيار سمو الشيج General (Staff)(Pilot) sheikh (person's name) Explanation: This "title string" reflects a British convention of stating a person's military rank, followed by qualification markers and any related honorifics. Accordingly, the original term becomes: General (Staff)(Pilot) Sheikh (person's name) (This title-string usually appears inside a person's signature block on a piece of official correspondence, and sometimes minus the distinguishing parentheses.) Deconstruction is as follows: Fareeq awaal = US equivalent is a four-star General (not Lt. General, which is a three-star military rank) rukn = graduate of a command and general staff college Teyaar = qualified as a pilot Sheikh = Arab honorific Hope this helps. Khair, in shaa' Allah.
