A field general refers to any player in any sport that, when on the field, acts as a leader for his team. He's the one that others turn to for direction, and often he is the one either calling plays or relaying them from the coaches.
In football, this player tends to be the quarterback on offense and the middle linebacker on defense; both are generally regarded as the most cerebral on their side of the ball.
In basketball, the term is "floor general", and it is almost always the point guard. They are the ones calling plays and directing traffic in transition.

Examples of General Powers can be seen in Command & Conquer : Generals. For example, if you fight hard enough, you may be able to choose the ability to call in an A-10 Thunderbolt strike, call in paratroopers, be able to build new units, and eventually be able to use more devestating weapons such as a fuel-air strike, etc.....at least THESE powers are for the USA General. The Chinese and GLA Generals have their own, all of which are unique and useful in their own merits.
