"Major" is a different question altogether, and should be posted separately, IMO.

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor
El rango militar de mayor o comandante es el inmediatamente inferior al de teniente coronel e inmediatamente superior al de capitán primero. Por lo general se desempeña como jefe de algunas de las secciones de personal o adiestramiento en un batallón o regimiento. En la marina de guerra es el grado equivalente a capitán de corbeta.

Major (MAJ)
Promotion to Major generally occurs after 8-10 years service. Majors are field rank officers who command a sub-unit – a company, squadron or battery - of up to 120 officers and soldiers with responsibility for their training, welfare and administration as well as the management of their equipment. Majors are also employed across all levels of headquarters in staff roles.

Usual ranks:
Commander (Navy)
Major or Commandant (Army). I believe “comandante” is correct in this case as the first links suggest. "Major", in my opinion, is the issue.

Common military ranks in English
Navies Armies Air forces

Commissioned officers

Notes to answerer
Asker: Gracias. Intento diferenciar "commandant" de "major" en la traducción.

Asker: Gracias. Lo que quiero decir es que el cargo de commandant implica algo más que el de major, por lo que la traducción de comandante no me parece adecuada en este caso.
