I made up the rank here but I needed to distinguish the military figure from the patriarch of two nations. Lehi had a long career in the Nephite army. He almost certainly had more experience than Moroni when the young Moroni was selected to lead all the Nephite armies. Considering how dependable lehi was both before and after Moroni was appointed I suspect he would have been asking those lending his voice in support of the young officer with the inventive ideas for keeping the soldiers safe.
For his part, Moroni knee that lehi was asking those select commanders who could be trusted implicitly to undertake any mission.
