Random Headcanon: Lando Calrissian made the rank of General about three weeks after officially joining the Rebel Alliance. The on-paper justification for his extraordinarily rapid ascent is a tale of stirring heroism; the real reason involved the Rebel leadership taking one look at him and going “holy shit, this guy has actual administrative experience - put him in charge immediately”.

Honestly, the fact that the Rebel Alliance and he Empire both had generals and admirals in the same branches of the service always gave the feeling that Lucas and the other writers didn’t have a strong understanding of how military command structures work. That being said, I’ll always love fans’ efforts to explain away that kind of thing.
