In the military, brevet refers to a warrant authorizing a commissioned officer to hold a higher rank temporarily (usually without receiving the pay of the higher rank). An officer so promoted may be referred to as being brevetted. For example, "he was brevetted Major General."
A brevet is a long-distance, comfortably paced, bicycle ride with check-point controls and a time limit. To qualify for PBP, or Paris-Brest-Paris, a cyclist must complete a series of sanctioned brevets within the same year and in the specified order.
