No, Captain is the rank of Company Commanders in the Army, why not AJROTC.

Ours have been C/CPTs, but if it needs to be filled depending on promotions and such, there have been C/MAJs in the role.

Wing - C/Colonel Group - C/Col or C/ Lt. Col Squadron - C/Maj Flight - C/Capt I know that coresponding affliations for Wing and Flight are Battalion and Company respectively, but I dont know what corresponds for Group and Squadron.

So my unit has been doing it wrong(or by our standards). While we are on this topic what rank does your program give Staff?

Such as if you had a fast tracked cadet that had gotten rank early, he may be a flight/company commander at a lower rank. Also the opposite and you might have a more than experienced person or someone who is performing 2+ jobs who has higher than captain. But typically, for that level of rank in JROTC, it is a Captain who holds it, and more normally, a 3rd year cadet.

Just to give the real world side of the house.
Most of the Company Commanders in the Army are Captains...however...there can be a few senior 1LTs who are selected to serve as Company Commanders until they can get promoted to Captain. There are even a handful of Company Commander positions that are Major slots. These are usually Headquarter Company Commander slots at Division and higher levels. |

depends... XO: can be a Senior (which is c/Lieutenant Colonel) or a Junior (Which is c/Major), S-3 Can be (Senior, which is c/Major) or Junior (which is c/Captain), S-1: c/Captain, S-2: c/Captain, S-4: c/Captain or c/1LT, or S-5: c/2LT or c/SGM

What does grade have to do with rank? Typically, yes, juniors and seniors are the ones in the ranks you mention, but grade shouldn't be a disqualifier for a position if the person is qualified for the job. By the way, an XO at the battalion level is typically a MAJ, not a LTC. And in my personal opinion, depending on what your S-5 is, a c/SGM isn't the most optimal choice for a staff job, but since c/SGM doesn't have the respect it should in cadet programs, fire away I guess...
