Most often the answer is no; it is the general's choice. Countries usually will not risk the life of an important figure, such as an general. However, sometimes, if all else fails, the general may go and fight. A general has greater experience, due to his high rank, so they tend to be in superior physical and mental condition, and well able to handle the rigours of a battle.

TaigaYes, many do. The most notable one to me was Gen Norman (Dutch) Cota. As Assistant Division Commander of the US 29th Infantry , Cota landed with his men on the second wave to hit Omaha Beach on D-Day. Cota was one of the highest-ranking officers on the beach that day. He is famous for personally rallying and encouraging the shell-shocked, pinned-down survivors and opening one of the first vehicle exits off the beach.
