Brevet
In many of the world's military establishments, a brevet was a warrant authorizing a commissioned officer to hold a higher rank temporarily, but usually without receiving the pay of that higher rank except when actually serving in that role. An officer so promoted may be referred to as being brevetted. For example, "He was brevetted major general." The promotion would be noted in the officer's title, for example, "Bvt. Maj. Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain or Bvt. Maj Gen. John Aaron Rawlins." This is not to be confused with a Brevet in Francophone Europe military circles, where a Brevet is an award.
