<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The Strategic Operations Department is found on most starbases but only on large starships with sector-wide command responsibilities. The purpose of this department is to help the officers in the Command Department remain aware of the position of other assets in relation to their unit, such as other starships in the sector, both allied and enemy, to help make strategic decisions. On starships, this department may only have one officer in it, but on major starbases, it could have a staff of dozens. This department is often found aboard flag officers' flagships, but reports to the flag officer and not to the ship's captain. On ships and bases without command responsibilities over other ships or bases, there would be little use for this department.<br />
====Standard Strategic Operations Positions====<br />
=====Chief Strategic Operations Officer=====<br />
[[File:Worf.jpg|thumb|[[ma:Worf|Lieutenant Commander Worf]] was the Strategic Operations Officer aboard Deep Space 9 during the Dominion War.]]The Chief Strategic Operations Officer is the senior strategic operations officer, and is responsible for collating reports from within their unit's area of influence, making recommendations to the commanding officer or flag officer on how to best accomplish their mission with the strategic resources available to them. An example of this would be suggesting that a starship change position to accomplish a new mission objective, or recommending that one ship replace another on a mission because it is better suited or better positioned to handle it. Some departments may only have one Strategic Operations Officer, and in those cases this position is just called by that title. Generally, officers in this role must have spent some time in Operations, Tactical, or Command first, and so generally aren't under the rank of Lieutenant or Lieutenant Commander.<br />
=====Assistant Chief Strategic Operations Officer=====<br />
Assistant Chief Strategic Operations Officers assist their department head in their duties and in creating a duty roster, in conjunction with their unit's executive officer. As with the department head, they have typically had experience in Operations, Tactical, or Command, and usually are in the lieutenant ranks at least.<br />
=====Strategic Operations Officer=====<br />
On units with many strategic operations officers, there can be several in more junior ranks who are in training to head strategic operations of their own. Like with the more senior roles, they generally have some experience in other departments, but recent Ensigns who studied Interstellar Relations, Small Group Tactics, or Political Science are sometimes assigned to these larger departments.<br />
====Additional Strategic Operations Positions====<br />
=====Strategy Specialist=====<br />
A Strategy Specialist is an enlisted specialist who has been trained to assist strategic operations officers in their duties. Generally speaking, their role is very similar to that of a yeoman, but the work inherently requires a higher clearance level. They are generally only found in very large strategic operations departments, as the skills required to be an effective strategist generally require an academy education.<br />
=====Strategist's Mate=====<br />
The Strategist's Mate is the senior enlisted specialist in the Strategic Operations departments, responsible for mentoring and training more junior specialists. This is a relatively rare position, given the same reasons that most units do not have any enlisted strategy specialists, but can be found when a strategic operations officer wants an enlisted perspective to help them formulate their advice to their commanding officer.<br />
