Well looks like I was wrong, hmmm, back in my day (USMC) the base commander was not the commanding officer of the combat units stationed at the base. Guess things have changed, sorry bout the bad info I gave you :(

Guess things have changed, sorry bout the bad info I gave you :( I only said something, because a military commander could easily be an O-6 or even a field grade officer, but the distinction being a flag officer had to be confirmed. So there is a world of difference between an O-6 and an O-8.
