I'm sure she will never have to put her life on the line, but she will be comforted by knowing that the rank names are all politically correct when they are standing in the trenches.
To be fair though, it's not her fault that the role has been created, nor the salary it attracts, but there are probably more important things to target than rank names.

Sorry, but I don’t see the problem. Changing the names of the ranks to be inclusive is a problem how? Other than “tradition” which is a bigger problem than most things. Quite a few countries can do it. Corporal, private, sergeant etc…. It does seem it is a particularly British obsession to have male connotations for rank.
