In non-classical linear transport the chord length distribution between collisions is non-exponential and attenuation does not respect Beer's law. Generalized radiative transfer (GRT) extends the classical theory to account for such two-point correlation between collisions and neglects all higher order correlations. For this form of transport, we derive the exact time-independent Green's functions for the isotropic point source in infinite 3D homogeneous media with general anisotropic scattering. Green's functions for both collision rate density, which characterizes absorption and reaction rates in the system, and radiance/flux, which characterizes displacement of radiation/particles, are solved in Fourier space. We validate the derivations using gamma random flights to produce the first anisotropic scattering benchmark solutions for the generalized linear Boltzmann equation. For gamma-4 flights with linearly anisotropic scattering and gamma-6 flights with Rayleigh scattering the collision rate density is found explicitly in real space as a sum of diffusion modes.
