The military term for second in command is "executive officer," often abbreviated as XO. This position typically involves assisting the commanding officer in managing operations and personnel, and the executive officer assumes command in the absence of the leader. In some units, the term "deputy" may also be used, depending on the branch and context.

What is a word that means second in command that starts with ice?

The word you're looking for is "ice" as a prefix in "ice" + "second," which does not exist in English for a term that directly means "second in command." However, if you're thinking of hierarchical titles, "vice" (as in "vice president") conveys a similar meaning but does not start with "ice." Unfortunately, there isn't a fitting term that starts with "ice" and means second in command.
