Colonel James Fanning was the commander of the garrison at the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. He played a significant role in the defense of the fortification against Mexican forces in 1836. Fanning's leadership and the garrison's resistance became symbolic of the struggle for Texan independence. However, he ultimately faced overwhelming odds, leading to the fall of the Alamo.

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.
