Logically speaking every member of the SOLDIER Elite would outrank everyone at Kilo Point just going by status, like Black Ops outranks the normal military. I would assume it would be the same concept.

Uhm. is that true? I don't think it does.
Isn't Black ops a term for anything the military does in secret? So the elite soldiers used for that are agents of an independent agency. Since they probably aren't offically on the payroll I doubt they even [b]have ranks[/b] to compare with soldiers.

I bet they have fame, and a lot of influence. But when it comes to pulling rank I don't think Rhyss or any of the other elite would have the paper necessarily to command a regiment or tell Matt what to do. Even though Matt would be wise to listen, he isn't mandated to do as they say.

But I'm not really sure on this one. Impossible to research BlackOps due to CoD flooding the interwebs.
