can't find examples for the "fig." sense of the word.. but it's used in both TW and mainland... can be used for leader/boss-subordinate, even teacher-student.

Editor: Seems to be yet another term that was originally used in the military context but is now (like "trusted lieutenant") mainly used figuratively, in any kind of leadership structure.
Non-military examples ~
(business leader) 他是老厂长的爱将。
(politician) 至於由前台聯黨籍立委、李登輝愛將賴幸媛出任陸委會主委的任命案,則一度在政壇引發震撼
(art entrepreneur) 他身邊的愛將也都是藝術狂熱份子
(high-tech manufacturer) 靠著張忠謀愛將林本堅的點子,搶先研發出以水為中介的「浸潤式微影製程」
