The Captain is subordinate to a General in rank.
Subordinate has a few meanings. It can mean below someone in status, e.g 'the peasant was subordinate to the King.'

It has a similar meaning in that it can be used to describe someone who works for someone else, e.g 'the politician is subordinate to the Prime Minister.'

Another use of subordinate is in 'subordinate clause,' which denotes a part of a sentence that adds to the main clause but cannot be used as a sentence in it's own right. For example, in the sentence 'The man rode quickly on his bike,' the subordinate clause would be 'on his bike,' because that is not a complete sentence.

You have a complex sentence. Best is the last word of a complete sentence. When is an adverb. It is followed by the word They. The word They starts a complete sentence. Thus, the word when makes the second sentence subordinate to the first sentence. That makes it complex.
