Which range correctly identifies the Field Grade officer tier?

• A. O-4 to O-6
• B. O-1 to O-3
• C. O-7 to O-10
• D. O-2 to O-5

Answer: (A)

Field Grade officers are the mid-level leaders who typically fill staff positions and command responsibilities at battalion to regimental levels. In most services, this tier covers ranks O-4 through O-6, such as Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel. That alignment makes the range O-4 to O-6 the correct one. The other ranges mix junior officers (O-1 to O-3) or senior general officers (O-7 to O-10), which do not fit the mid-level Field Grade category.
