The promotion of Major General Maria L. Britt was celebrated at Fort McPherson just south of Atlanta.
Britt became a brigadier general three years ago, and got the second star last month.
The commander of Georgia's National Guard is the first female to hold the 2-star rank in the Guard's nearly 280-year history.
