A Lieutenant is, through history, a rank that denotes that they are preparing for the next rank above. Hence a low-ranking officer is a Lieutenant, who is preparing to be a Captain. A Lieutenant Colonel is preparing to be a Colonel. So it follows that a Lieutenant General is preparing to be a General. Thus, it is the rank immediately preceding it.
