It depends on the situation - rank superiority is determined based on time of active service, so a Navy Commander in the Naval Reserve with more years at that rank on active duty than an Army Lt. Colonel would outrank him/her, and vice-versa.
well, there's the National Guard, the Navy, the Marines, the Air Force, and the reserves.

"710 000 including reserves" Are you sure? The British Army will drop in size next year to 82,000. Several papers such as "The Independent" pointed out that this will be the lowest number ever since the 1899-1902 Boer War. Are you including the Indian Army, colonial troops and the Royal Navy in this figure? The Royal Navy was our large Arm, and had 103,000 in 1898. At the start of WWI the Regulars and reserves numbered 400,000.
