Lieutenant-colonels are addressed by rank and name; thereafter by subordinates as "Sir" or "Ma'am". In the Canadian army, lieutenant-colonels are often employed as commanding officers of battalion-sized groups, such as infantry battalions, armoured regiments, artillery field regiments, engineer field regiments, signal regiments and service battalions. In the Royal Canadian Air Force, lieutenant-colonels are often seen as the commanding officer of flying or ground squadrons. Note: Before unification of the Canadian Forces in 1968, rank structure and insignia followed the British pattern.
