Troop commander is an appointment used by a number of countries to signify the officer in command of a troop, a traditional cavalry or artillery sub unit.
British Army.
A troop commander is an officer in the British Army, who commands 15 other soldiers (a "troop") and their vehicles. A troop usually consists of four or sometimes more armoured vehicles such as tanks and APCs. While serving in the Household Cavalry, Prince Harry was a reconnaissance troop commander, commanding six scimitar LRV-Cs.
Canadian Army.
A troop commander (TC) is normally a junior officer (2nd lieutenant or lieutenant) in the Royal Canadian Artillery or Royal Canadian Armoured Corps.
Red Army.
A troop commander is the senior officer in command of a Red Army cavalry troop. The rank is usually that of a captain, or senior lieutenant.
A cavalry troop is equivalent in size and general strength to a rifle (infantry) company. A cavalry troop normally has five platoons.
This typical formation was used by the 25th Ukrainian Mounted Rifle Regiment, a mounted rifle unit of the Ukrainian territorial defense army of the Red Army of the Soviet Union. Although disbanded, it is commemorated by living historians in the North East United States.
