The Earth Force Military tends to mix-and-match their ranks, but they're generally recognizable:

  • Sinclair is a Commander
  • Sheridan is a Captain
  • Ivonava starts as a Lt. Commander and is promoted to Commander
  • Franklin's father is a General
  • Krantz is a Major

and so on. We see that Garibaldi is in EarthForce and must therefore have a rank, but he's only ever referred to as "Security Chief", which is his position.

What rank does he hold?

    SF writers have had a distressingly poor grasp of military rank ever since the post-WW2-era writers writers aged enough for the Next Generation of writers to appear...
