You should consider the background of OVERLORD. In the real world, invididual's strength makes little effct on the result of war, but in OL, a game-like world, a lv.30 person is able to kill as many common soldiers as he or she want in the battle field witout being hurt until he or she is tired. Tactic and strategy are useless when you are dealing with people who are much stronger than you, so It is reasonable to choose the strongest one to be the leader of an army.

And it is mentioned in the book that the captain is not bad at leading the army in fight, her shortage is that she does not think things other than fight. That's why she needs intellectuals like Gustav and Kelart to assit her. This team works good in their routine untile Demi's invasion.

Of course, Calca could have choosen a person who is more balanced in intelligence and strength to be the captain, but it is also indicated in the book that nobles in the south are againt her. Custodio sisters and Calca are very close friend in their life, they also share the same idea. In this case, it is normal to put Reme on that posiont so Calca can control the paladins to strengthen her political power.
