The Army, Air Force and Marine Corps ranks for General (Flag) officers are: Brigadier General (one star) Major General (two stars) Lieutenant General (three stars) General (four stars) Ergo, the rank "above" Lieutenant General is General.
There is no rank called "colonial." The rank "Colonel" is below General and above Lt. Colonel, Major, Captain, and so on.

Yes, colonel is considered a high rank in the military, typically ranking above lieutenant colonel and below brigadier general.

Very basically speaking, the difference is one step in rank. While a Lt. Colonel is normally referred to a Colonel, a Colonel is sometimes to referred to as a "full bird colonel" to distinguish the difference. In the Army at least, a Lt. Colonel wears a clover leaf rank insignia (silver, I think) but a full Colonel wears an eagle insignia, hence the reference "full bird."
An officer in the United States Army who wears a silver eagle is typically a Colonel, which is a rank above Lieutenant Colonel and below Brigadier General. The silver eagle is worn on their collar insignia denoting their rank.
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
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.
No, first officer is not a higher rank than colonel on the Titanic. First Officer was a rank within the crew of a ship, while Colonel is a military rank.
The rank of Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) is a senior field officer rank in the military, typically above Major and below Colonel. It is often designated as an O-5 rank in the U.S. Armed Forces. Officers selected for this rank have usually demonstrated significant leadership and operational experience, as well as a commitment to their service. The selection process often involves a competitive evaluation of an officer's performance, potential, and qualifications.
