Lieutenant Colonel was a military rank, usually found in air and ground fighting forces (as opposed to naval services). It was superior to Major and subordinate to Colonel. Lieutenant Colonels commonly commanded regiments, which were composed of a variable number (but never less than two) of companies, batteries, or similar smaller units, along with necessary headquarters personnel. The Lieutenant Colonel rank was equivalent to the naval or Starfleet rank of Commander. A Lieutenant Colonel was informally addressed as colonel.
