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.
