I think it’s possible that their ranks include Colonels because there is a First Commander Gregory. Since the rank Commander is rarely used in most armies and the army structure is what the Officer ranks appear to be based upon, it’s worth noting that Colonels and Lt. Colonels can sometimes be referred to as Base Commanders in some armies. So while it’s not explicitly stated, it is somewhat implied.
