Field OfficerA field officer is an army or marine commissioned officer superior in rank to a company officer but inferior to a general officer. Historically, a regiment or battalion's field officers made up its command element. Today, a field officer is a major, lieutenant colonel, or a colonel. The British Army, and some others in the Commonwealth, also include the brigadier in this category: his equivalent in other armies is a general officer (the brigadier general).
