Second lieutenant was a military rank. A traditional infantry rank, second lieutenant was the lowest officer grade, subordinate to a [[First Lieutenant]]. Infantry lieutenants fell below [[Captain (military)|captain]], and commanded a platoon, consisting of about thirty troops. In comparison to naval ranking systems, a second lieutenant was equivalent to the grade of [[ensign]] or sublieutenant, depending on the specific arrangement.
