:"Please see "Lieutenant Colonel" for other countries which use this rank"
In the Canadian Forces, the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel (LCol) (French: "lieutenant-colonel" or "lcol") is an Army or Air Force rank equal to a Commander of the Navy. A Lieutenant-Colonel is the second-highest rank of Senior Officer. A Lieutenant-Colonel is senior to a Major or naval Lieutenant-Commander, and junior to a Colonel or naval Captain.
The rank insignia for a Lieutenant-Colonel is three 1 cm stripes of gold braid, worn on the cuffs of the Service Dress jacket, and on slip-ons on other uniforms.
Lieutenant-Colonels are addressed by rank and name; thereafter by subordinates as "Sir" or "Ma'am".
Note: Before Unification of the Canadian Forces in 1968, rank structure and insignia followed the British pattern.
