Point Commander

In the Clans a Point Commander is the rank of a Point's commanding officer. The amount of authority carried by the Point Commander rank isn't like many other military ranks as the Clan Point varies in size.

Since a 'Mech is a Point, technically every Clan MechWarrior has the rank of Point Commander.

The rank carries more authority in the other branches of the Clan military. In AeroSpace Fighter points, the Point Commander acts as the flight lead. In Battle Armor Points, the Point Commander leads the five Elementals much like an Inner Sphere Sergeant, coordinating their strikes. An armored vehicle Point Commander is responsible for both tanks in the point. Finally, conventional (non Battle Armor) infantry Point Commanders command 25-soldier points. (In the Inner Sphere this infantry formation would be a platoon and typically be commanded by a Lieutenant.)
