Is the imam in the military ranks the highest in rank?

Question : May Allah guide you, like the soldiers with ranks or such, which one becomes the imam, the one with the high rank or the one below him? Because he has authority over you.

Answer : Yes, sometimes the barracks have a permanent imam who is not from the soldiers, and that is a clear matter. Sometimes there is no permanent imam, so the ruler is undoubtedly the highest in rank; he is the ruler. If he is qualified to lead the prayer, he is more deserving.
