AFAIK never used in a sentence.

>From startrek.com's "Star Trek: Continuum Klingon Compendium" area ("Klingon Linguistic Studies" (KLS):

  "An officer in rank next above a colonel, and below a
   major general. He commands a brigade, and is sometimes
   shortened simply to brigadier."  [KLS]

Is this the army equivalent of a commodore (totlh), i.e. above a captain but below an admiral?  (This rank is currently not used in the U.S. Navy.)  

The only known Klingon brigadier was Azetbur's advisor Kerla in ST6.
