Why is there a separate command of SouthWestern Command at Punjab? They only have one Corps. Not only that, Central Command only has one corps. Why is that? I thought a Command consists of two Corps or more.

Is there a rank of Lt. Colonel in the Indian Army? If so, then what roles do they typically fulfill? as a XO of the battalion, second to the Colonel as the CO? If so, then how many Lt. Colonel are there in a battalion? Four?

How many Colonels are in a brigade? Four?

When you say independent brigade? You mean that they are not part of a division but get Corps tasking for specific jobs, is that correct?

What does a Field Marshal do and what equivalent rank are there? Do they carry 4 or 5 stars?


In the US, what does a Chief of Staff Army do and how is it different from the Joint Chief of Staff of the Military? Does JCS outrank Chief of Staff Army and thus can order him around?
