Cornishchunky,

We've got the exact same rank structure, minus our Brigadiers get general attached to their title. The junior/senior Captain is a description of the officer development timeline in the US Army, where the "normal" career path has a junior Captain commanding a company and then moving on to do something else (higher staff; grad school; working acquisition on some project; professional schooling for some jobs such as foreign affairs officer; etc.) during their senior Captain years.
