Isn't this title specifically for ArchAngel Michael as he is the commander of all the angels and protector of Orthodox Christians?  I thought it translated to The Brigadier General? 

It was an active military title in the Roman army as well.

Yes, Taxiarches is translated into Brigadier General; infact in modern Greek Army ranking system, Brigadier General is Taxiarchos

Hellenic Army Brigadier General/Taxiarchos/Ταξίαρχος

Its equivalent in English is something like Leader of the Cohort (Taxis-->Cohort+archos, from the verb archo-->to lead)
