rango militar

AI overview

A captain is a military rank that sits in the middle levels of officer hierarchy, typically commanding a company of soldiers or leading a ship. This rank matters because captains serve as a crucial link between higher-ranking officers making strategic decisions and the enlisted troops carrying out those decisions on the ground or at sea.

Un capitán es una persona que dirige, encabeza, comanda, gobierna o representa a un grupo. Etimológicamente, el término parece provenir del latín capitanus, «jefe», que derivaría, a su vez, del también término latino caput, «cabeza», y este del indoeuropeo kaput, con igual significado.[cita requerida] Existe la figura de capitán en contextos diversos y con características bastante diferenciadas.
