Why not Chief in command or Commander of chiefs or similar?

The sentence basically means Commander in biggest or Commander in most important. It’s a strange structure.

    Yes, we are in firm agreement: that page offers more examples for the OP to peruse, some French and some not. My favorite is “attorney general”, with more to choose from.
