What are the rank requirements for Rear Detachment Commander for a separate brigade level?
If it is not dictated by a higher headquarters, then I would say it is up to the Brigade Commander. The Rear Detachment Commander would have to be authorized with sufficient UCMJ authority. Maybe a Lt. Col or Major. If the Brigade Commander was also the local Garrison/Base Commander, then that may complicate the matter, unless the Brigade Commander has a standing Deputy Commander for Base Operations.
How did wasgington force the british to leave Boston?
Washington had his army occupy the heights over Boston. His army could attack the British army from two different directions, so the British had to divide their forces to defend their position. He could see any impending British attack so he did not need to divide his forces. His cannon were placed where they could fire on the British positions. The British cannon would need to shoot uphill and could not shoot that far. General Gage, the British commander, saw the hopelessness of his situation and abandoned Boston.

Which American theater commander was best and which was worst In the period 1940-1951?
Nimitz was probably the best in the Pacific, he possibly saved more lives, by "island hopping" (avoiding heavily defended Japanese garrisons). MacArthur wanted to fight his way northward; which would have been far bloodier. Eisenhower was the perfect commander in Europe. A commander with a large amount of diplomacy. Between Nimitz and Eisenhower, whomever would have served as Commander in the Pacific would have had to have had a brutal touch to him, in order to succeed. There was no mercy shown in Pacific Battles.
