The term RANK ABOVE MAJ. can be solved by two crossword solutions: COL (3 letters) and LTCOL (5 letters). COL stands for Colonel, which is a senior commissioned officer rank in the armed forces or in some police forces. LTCOL stands for Lieutenant Colonel, which is a more senior rank than Colonel and is also a senior commissioned officer rank in the armed forces or in some police forces. Therefore, both COL and LTCOL are ranks that are above Major.
