Army O-2 rank and insignia

The rank O-2 is First Lieutenant, identified by a single silver bar. In Army insignia, gold bars show the entry level as Second Lieutenant (O-1), while a silver bar marks the next grade, First Lieutenant. A Captain (O-3) uses two connected silver bars, and a Major (O-4) uses a gold oak leaf. So the single silver bar correctly matches First Lieutenant, whereas the gold bar corresponds to Second Lieutenant, two silver bars to Captain, and the Major insignia is the gold oak leaf.
