Is "Commander" the highest rank of the guard? It's not in the US military or police forces. In the US Navy, it's O-5 (with ranks going up to O-10). In other US military services, it's just a title given to officers in charge of a unit (sometimes as low as O-2). Many US sci-fi shows use US naval ranks for space-service ranks.

I was under the impression that Kane was the head of the guards. He's the one that guards report to. In "Hakeldama", Abby asks Kane, "Where's your uniform?" He replies, "Pike just relieved me of my command."
