Hi folks,
Interesting discussion on the army identifications. I suspect you will find
it changes from army/defence force to defence force.
I was just recently in New Zealand working for the NZDF and they have a
wide variety of terms as well.....the highest rank being All-Black Captain.
However if you want to confirm what the appropriate terms are for the
command structure.....I would suggest going to the ADF website (Aust.
Defence Force). I am sure there would be a link there to a helpful person
who would be happy to clear up any problems. The Defence Forces are now
quite customer focused, they want to serve as well as defend.
regards and thanks
