Commander (disambiguation)

This article is about the UNSC commissioned officer rank. For the Halo 3 matchmaking rank, see Commander (Halo 3).

Commander is a commissioned officer rank of the UNSC Navy, equal in rank to Lieutenant Colonel in the UNSC Marine Corps.

Commanders typically serve as the executive officer (XO) (second in command) of a UNSC Warship. However, they may also command a UNSC Warship, like Commander Miranda Keyes and Richard Lash.
