The divide between naval personnel and ground forces ("marines") is
small. Ground units are a specialized branch of the fleet, just as
fighter squadrons are. This unity of command is imposed by the futility
of fighting without control of orbit; without the navy, any army is
pointless. The marines, as a matter of pride, maintain some of their
traditional rank titles; for example, marines have Privates and
Corporals instead of Servicemen.
There are two interdependent branches of the Alliance military: Navy and Marines.
Shepard is Navy. Kaidan is a Marine. Generally speaking, marines do not have command over Naval personnell. A Marine General could not officially give orders to a Navy Captain, for example.
You'll also note that Presley, a Liutennant, is made Executive Office after Shepard takes command. When Shepard is ashore, the Executive Officer has command of the ship and everyone in it. So it's quite plausible a Lieutennant would be in command of "Major" Kaidan.
So in one line: They're in two different branches of the military, but Shepard commands the ship and everything in it.
