Under the Marines Service Re-organization Act of 1947, the Captain-general must hold the office of colonel in (any) one of the constituent regiments of the marine corps. Technically, ranks such as colonel and captain are regimental offices, which in turn take their seniority after pay grades in the imperial civil service. Thus, while most colonels enjoy the courtesy-rank of 1,000 bushels at the royal court, the captain-general is esteemed 2,000 bushels, because it was viewed as the successor to the former office Lieutenant-General of Marines, abolished in 1803 with the Admiralty Army. There is no surviving record suggesting that a "General of Marines" was ever appointed, probably because the admirals, being of baronial rank, exercised the functions of a general over marines.
