     Yes, I can think of one.  There maybe a time when an officer who is of
  higher rank than another officer, but the lower ranking officer is in charge
  of a department that the higher ranking officer is working in.  When asked
  to report to the department head, the higher-ranking officer WOULD have
  to report as ordered just like any other time.  Anytime the higher-ranking
  officer dealt with the lower-ranking officer during their jobs, then the
  department head would be in charge even though s/he is of the subordinate
  rank.  That is the only one I could think of.  I think we discussed it in
  one of our ROTC classes.
