From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antisyntagmatarhis is used in the Greek language to mean "Lieutenant Colonel".
The term was first used in the Greek War of Independence (1821 - 1827). The earliest known written use occured in revolutionary goverment papers of 1822. In the modern Hellenic Army the rank is superior to an Tagmatarhis (Major) and inferior to an Syntagmatarhis (Colonel). The insignia consists of a flame and two golden stars.
Most commissioned officers retire in this rank. Promotions to Syntagmatarhis and above are open to a few but this is most often based on the personal charisma and political contacts of the candidate rather than seniority.
