Who is the Brigade Commander?

• A. Col Montgomery
• B. Col Lee
• C. LTC Mopp
• D. CPT Schield

Answer: (B)

Brigade-level leadership is typically held by an officer at the rank of colonel, since a brigade consists of multiple battalions and requires a senior field-grade commander. A lieutenant colonel would normally command a battalion, and a captain would command a company, which are smaller units. In this context, Col Lee is designated as the brigade commander, which fits the standard rank and role for that level of command. The other officers listed—Col Montgomery as another colonel, LTC Mopp as a lieutenant colonel, and CPT Schield as a captain—would not be the brigade commander based on their usual command responsibilities.
