		Colonel Cathcart is characterized by his ambition to get promoted to the rank of general.
		Cathcart constantly increases the number of bombing missions for the officers in order to raise in rank and thus he supports the “Catch-22.” Further, Colonel Cathcart totally depends on his assistant, Lieutenant Colonel Korn, but Cathcart dislikes him for his state university education.
