I remain to say that the way the American Military handles Commissioned Officer ranks, or the equivalent, in the most odd ways that I am against, but if it is possible then I guess it is possible.

Well Lieutenant Colonels all vary in the amount of soldiers they command. Like they can command as little as 200 soldiers to 800 at most. The more experienced ones obviously command the larger groups. Plus even Lieutenant Colonels have multiple ranks, depending on how large the Battalion is. And the system works.
