LTC Mapp holds which command?

A lieutenant colonel typically commands a battalion. A battalion is the unit-sized element below a brigade and above the companies, usually comprising several hundred to about a thousand soldiers, with its own headquarters and staff to run operations, logistics, and training. That alignment makes commanding a battalion the natural role for a lieutenant colonel like LTC Mapp. The other options don’t fit this rank-for-role pairing: brigade commanders are typically colonels or brigadier generals, not lieutenant colonels; the regimental CSM is the senior enlisted leader for a regiment, not a battalion; and the Chief of Ordnance is a higher-level, staff/branch position rather than a battalion command.
