MAJOR is a military rank, not a duty position. Same with CAPTAIN or COLONEL, they are military ranks. 1. Lieutenants normally lead platoons. 2. Captains normally command companys. 3. Majors are normally staff officers, such as Operations Officer or Executive Officer (XO) within a battalion. 4. Lieutenant Colonels normally command battalions. 5. Colonels normally command brigades. 6. Generals normally command divisions. However, there are not enough commands to go around, so all of the above ranks have to pull "staff" time sooner or later. Note: In the Navy, a Captain can be an enlisted man, if he's in charge of a vessel. The term "Captain" in the Navy is the commander of that vessel, no matter what his rank is. Furthermore, a US Navy Captain is equivalent to a US Army Colonel; the Eagle insignia.
