Here, chief operations officer (aka chief of operations) was head of the Operations department within the Command division. The minimum grade for this billet depended on the size of the vessel or station. On capital ships, that grade was lieutenant commander, either brevet or permanent.
The Operations department included:
- helm
- navigations
- mission support
- flight, including designated shuttle and other auxiliary craft (including fighter) pilots
As well, any yeomen may be tasked to this division. A flight surgeon would be in this division, though he/she may also report to the chief medical officer.
