Hussein Rashid Mohammed al-Tikriti (Arabic: حسين رشيد محمد التكريتي; 1 January 1940) is an Iraqi former military officer who formerly served as the Chief of the General Staff of the Iraqi Armed Forces under the rule of Saddam Hussein.
A fierce loyalist to Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, Rashid was also a tough and competent general.[1] Middle Eastern military and political affairs analyst Kenneth M. Pollack listed Rashid as an example of Arab generals in recent decades who had proven to be "first-rate generals", listing him alongside Syria's Ali Aslan and Jordan's Zaid ibn Shaker.[2]
