<h2 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; color: royalblue; font-weight: bold; border-bottom-style: none; border-style: none;">Are SFJAG officers line or staff designated? </h2> | |||
Neither actually. SFJAG officers are designated Limited Duty Officers (LDO). The term "limited duty" refers not to an LDO's authority, but rather the LDO's career progression and restrictions. In general, they may succeed to command activities which have a primary function corresponding to their Star Fleet officer designator or SF Marine Corps MOS. In this sense, LDO’s are in the middle between Line and Staff officers, not unlike their Warrant Officer brethren who serve in technical roles above Enlisted grades and below the commissioned Officer corps. | |||
