First lieutenant

The Star Trek Expanded Universe Database is for fanon and related content. See Memory-Alpha.org for the canon Star Trek wiki.

This article deals with the rank used in the MACOs and Marines. For a similarly named Starfleet rank, see lieutenant.

First lieutenant is an officer rank used by the MACOs and Federation Marines, superior to second lieutenant and subordinate to captain. A lieutenant commands a platoon (about 30 troops).

MACO lieutenants did not appear in Star Trek: Enterprise to avoid audience confusion over rank names.

The rank is equivalent to the Starfleet rank of lieutenant junior grade, and senior lieutenant in the Federation Starfighter Corps.

[edit] History

The term comes from the armies and marines of Earth. The United States Army abbreviation was 1LT; the Marine Corps used 1stLt.
