Yes. A lieutenant colonel is next, then a full colonel (sometimes called a full bird).
Colonel is higher than a Lieutenant-Colonel. BTW, a Lieutenant- General is higher than a Major-General.
A Major is an Commissioned Officer is the military where as a Sergeant is an Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO). So yes a Major is higher in rank than a Sergeant.
In the Army, yes.
It depends which country and branch of service one is speaking of. The American military does not have the rank of Major-Colonel, the ranks of Major, Lt. Colonel and Colonel all out rank a Captain, unless the Captain is Navy or Coast Guard, then he would be equal in rank to the Colonel. In US Military, in all but the Navy, the order of these three ranks from lowest to highest is: * Captain * Major * Lieutentant Colonel * Colonel A Captiain in the Navy is the equivalent in rank of a Colonel in the Army, USAF or USMC
Colonel is the higher rank.
Highest - lowest. # Field Marshal (Only awarded as an honour) # General # Lieutenant General # Major General # Brigadier # Colonel # Lieutenant Colonel # Major # Captain # Lieutenant # Second Lieutenant # Officer Cadet
It's a rank higher than the colonel.
Colonel is higher ranking (O-6) than Major (O-4) in the Marines, Army, and Air Force. The comparable ranks in the Navy (and Coast Guard) are Captain (O-6) and Lieutenant Commander (O-4).
This is filed under US ARmy and US Navy, so let me clarify.. A Captain in the Army is pay grade O3, whereas a Colonel in the Army is pay grade O6. Colonel is the higher of the two. The Navy has a different rank structure for officers than the other branches. A Captain in the Navy is 06 - equivalent to Colonel. The rank of Colonel does not exist in the Navy.
Technically, all officers are of a higher rank than any sergeant. Sergeant Major however, is a very high enlisted rank. A sergeant major will usually only take commands from a Lieutenant Colonel or higher.
A Lieutenant is a lower ranking officer than a Colonel.
No, a lieutenant Colonel is one notch lower than a Colonel.
