The Boss Board

The station, and the two boss types it covers. They are shown side by side: neither Deep Dive says one ranks above the other.

Boss Board

The Boss Board is a FOB station that unlocks after you complete your second DMZ Order.
At the Boss Board, intel on Lieutenants costs DMZ Cash, while information on Commanders is free.
Hunting down either boss type pays sizable DMZ Cash rewards.

Lieutenants

Intel on a Lieutenant opens up after you complete a specific set of challenges in earlier deployments; you then buy it at the Boss Board with DMZ Cash and hunt that Lieutenant down.
Exfilling with a Lieutenant's Dog Tag Case progresses the Boss Board, whether you got the case by killing the Lieutenant or took it from another player.

Names not published

Commanders

Commanders are always present in the Exclusion Zone.
Intel cannot be purchased for Commanders.
Part 1's list of hostile forces names three Commanders: Colossus, Deathstalker and the Main NK Battle Tank.
