co-commander
Shared military authority
A co-commander shares command authority with another person, dividing leadership responsibilities equally or by function: The expedition had two co-commanders, one handling logistics and the other navigation.
The arrangement appears in military, organizational, and ceremonial contexts where dual leadership is practical or symbolic.
