The word 'Turtanu' is an Akkadian word/title meaning 'commander in chief' or 'prime minister'. The turtanu was not however the king of the entire Assyrian empire but rather a second in command. The Assyrian king would assign the individual who was turtanu to go to battle for him,〔Yamada, Shiego.

Dayyan-Assur was ''turtanu'' under the reign of Shalmaneser III (859-824BC). Dayyan-Assur led campaigns in leu of Shalmaneser III who gave him power over the Assyrian army. These campaigns took the Assyrian army and influence into the Zagros, where encounters with future opponents the Medes and Manneans.〔Van De Mierroop (2007) p. 242〕
Another example of a turtanu was Shamshi-ilu. He was the Assyrian military commander under Adad-Nirari III (811-783BC) and later Shalmaneser IV (783-773) as well as others. He appears to have been of Bit-Adini descent, a province annexed by Assyria some time before. He led a campaign against the Argishti I of Urartu.〔Leick, Gwendolyn.
