English translation:Major Colonel XXX / Captain Commando XXX
Explanation:
Acredito que Capitão Comando seja também uma alusão indireta ao jogo de arcade produzido pela Capcom. Talvez o objetivo tenha sido dar um tom leve ou jocoso à apresentação desses indivíduos. Eu deixaria de fora o Commando em se referindo ao major coronel.

Anabella, this is an army company, not a commercial company, i. e., company is a synonym to batallion or something like that. The 35th Company, for example.

Notes to answerer
Asker: XXX is the name of the captain and major so I do not think it is company...those persons are who founded the company

  -> Exactly, but too late now. The asker did not realize it and thought of "company" as a commercial entity. Thanks.
