From: Raul Sanchez To: All 101st pilots Subject: Command structure Priority:High
After a long revision of our command structure and ranks, the High Command made changes and assigned new ranks. Any questions and requests can be sent to the High Command.
The new command structure and ranks are as follows:
Fleet Admiral (One) The overall commander of the 101st. Orders from the Fleet Admiral must be obeyed unless over-ruled by both admirals and two thirds of active Captains. Can fly any ship allowed.
Admiral (Two) The two Admirals report directly to the Fleet Admiral. They each council the Fleet Admiral and aid in making decisions. Any decisions made by them can be over-ruled by the Fleet Admiral. Can fly a fighter, bomber, gunboat and a destroyer without authorization, and a battleship with authorization from the Fleet Admiral.
Captain (Six) A Captain has proven his worth both in commanding and flying. Can fly any fighter, bomber and a gunboat without requiring authorization and a destroyer with requiring authorization from the Fleet Admiral or both Admirals.
Commander They can command and order Prospective Officers and Lieutenants and Cadets but every rank above them can over-rule a decision they make. Can fly any fighter or a bomber without requiring authorization and a gunboat with authorization from the Fleet admiral or both Admirals.
Lieutenant Lieutenants is the first step towards the command structure. Chosen from the promising Prospective Officers, they are given the task of commanding Prospective officers and Cadets in space. Can fly fighters and bombers without requiring authorization and a gunboat with authorization from the Fleet admiral or both Admirals.
Prospective Officers Prospective Officers are the core of the fighting force. They are the most common rank one can encounter. Can fly fighters and bombers without requiring authorization.
Cadet Cadets are those that have very recently joined. They have yet to prove themselves worthy, and reliable. Can fly fighters and bombers without requiring authorization.
