Commander is a rank exclusive to the Navy. It is the equivalent of an Army/Air Force/Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel (O5). A Navy Captain is equivalent to an Army/Air Force/Marine Corps Colonel (O6), whereas a Captain in the Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps is O3. A Navy Captain outranks a Commander, but a Commander outranks an Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps Captain.
Yes. Unlike the military, a Lieutenant in a police, fire department, or EMS will have to rise up through the ranks to achieve that 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
lieutenant, Captain & General.
yes Captain is higher than lieutenant
In organizations which have both ranks, Captain (US O6) is a higher rank than Commander (US O5). However, armies also use the title Captain, except it's a lower pay grade (US O3, equivalent to a naval Lieutenant). Military rank and organization in Star Wars is pretty convoluted, since in the movies the terms "Admiral" and "General" seem to refer to individuals within the same service (with Admiral being the higher of the two). This does not happen on Earth: Admiral and General are equivalent ranks (US O10) used in different branches of the service. Wow this is that same guy star wars ain't Real Life you know. Ranks are way further apart than ours Commander in star wars is higher than Captain
The actual tern should be senior, not powerful. The rank of Major is senior to the rank of Captain in the Army. HOWEVER, the NAVY rank of Captain is the equivalent of an Army Colonel, which is senor to that of Major.
A major is an officer that is two ranks from general. The major rank is between the captain (lower rank) and colonel (higher rank.) The major takes over if the general and colonel cannot preform their their duties. A major has control over these ranks: captain, commander, lieutenant, sergeant, corporal, and a private. They can also promote, which means to give higher rank, or demote, which means to give lower rank, to any of men or women under the rank of major.

Sergeant is higher than Corporal
Yes, the army national guard does have the opportunity to earn tabs and get higher ranks.
Captain, Novice I don't know what else. Novice is highest.
