    Not knowing US General/Flag Officer tea-leaves, I take it the letter is the first letter of the senior officers last name and the 4 indicates the number of stars.

    P4 = Patraeus?

    O4 = ?

    D4 = ?

    Correct.

    P4= GEN Petraeus

    O4= GEN Odierno

    D4= GEN Dempsey.

    The first time I heard it was in reference to GEN Petraeus when he was MNF-I, and then-LTG Odierno went by O3 (followed by then-LTG Austin as A3) at MNC-I
