A lieutenant (UK: /lɛfˈtɛnənt/ lef-TEN-ənt or US:
/luË ËˆtÉ›nÉ™nt/ loo-TEN-É™nt abbreviated Lt., Lt, LT, Lieut and
similar) is in some cases, the junior-most commissioned officer in the
armed forces, fire services, police, and other organizations of many
nations.The meaning of lieutenant differs in different militaries (see
comparative military ranks), but is often subdivided into senior
(first lieutenant) and junior (second lieutenant and even third
lieutenant) ranks. In navies, it is often equivalent to the army rank
of captain; it may also indicate a particular post rather than a rank.
The rank is also used in fire services, emergency medical services,
security services and police forces.Lieutenant may also appear as part
of a title used in various other organisations with a codified command
structure. It often designates someone who is "second-in-command", and
as such, may precede the name of the rank directly above it. For
example, a "lieutenant master" is likely to be second-in-command to
the "master" in an organisation using both ranks.Political uses
include lieutenant governor in various governments, and Quebec
lieutenant in Canadian politics. In the United Kingdom, a lord
lieutenant is the sovereign's representative in a county or
lieutenancy area, while a deputy lieutenant is one of the lord
lieutenant's deputies.
