In theory, the king was the chief commander of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth forces. In practice the army was led by a hetman or ‘regimentarz’ (officer taking charge in the absence of hetman). There were two hetmans in Poland (Grand Hetman and Field Hetman) and two more in Lithuania (also Grand and Field). The Field Hetman was lower in rank than the Grand Hetman. ‘Pulk’ of national cavalry was commanded by a colonel, a foreign regiment (like infantry or dragoons) was commanded by oberszter (colonel in German)
