US Government Power Analysis

Executive Branch military chain of command: Evaluating each rank against the Agent Power Framework's 30 sub-dimensions.
Back to Framework View All Evaluations Example Assessment

This page lists all military ranks from Commander-in-Chief to Private, showing how each position maps to the framework's 0-9 capability scale. Multiple ranks may share the same power level when their actual capabilities across the five dimensions are equivalent.

Each rank will be evaluated based on: Information Access (what they can know), Resource Control (what they can deploy), Authority & Permission (what they're allowed to do), Network Position (whom they can influence), and Synthesis & Application (how well they think and act).

Military Ranks: Framework Evaluation Results

Evaluation Complete: All 29 military ranks have been assessed against the Agent Power Framework's 30 sub-dimensions (6 per core dimension).

Key Finding: Sub-dimension analysis reveals nuanced power profiles - warrant officers show asymmetric capabilities (high synthesis scores of 5-7, but authority scores of 2-4), while senior NCOs score exceptionally high on trust networks (6) despite moderate overall authority (4).

Framework Evaluation Insights

Power Level Distribution:

  • Level 8-9 (Cross-Institutional to Approaching Omniscient): President (8.8), Secretary of Defense (8.2)
  • Level 7 (Multi-Domain Academic): Four-Star Generals (7.0-7.6), Three-Star Generals (7.0)
  • Level 6 (Domain-Specific Professional): Two-Star and One-Star Generals (6.0)
  • Level 5 (Specialized): Colonels and Lt Colonels (5.0)
  • Level 4 (Tactical/Operational): Majors, Captains, Senior NCOs (4.0-4.8)
  • Level 3 (Personal/Commercial): Lieutenants, Mid-level NCOs (3.0-3.4)
  • Level 2 (Filtered/Brand-Safe): Junior NCOs, Junior Enlisted (1.8-2.8)
  • Level 1 (Basic): Entry-level Enlisted (1.0)

Notable Observations:

  • Warrant Officers show asymmetric profiles: High synthesis (6) due to technical expertise, but lower authority (3-4) due to non-command roles
  • Senior NCOs (E-9/E-8) score higher on Network (5) than similar-ranked officers due to extensive enlisted networks
  • Multiple general officer ranks (O-7, O-8) share identical scores (6.0) because scope differs but dimensional capabilities are equivalent
  • The President's only non-9 score is Synthesis (8), reflecting human decision-making limits vs institutional knowledge
