Sector Staff Roles

The Sector Commander is the only mandatory staff for a Sector Headquarters and is typically appointed by Central Command. Depending on the size of the headquarters the Commander may do all the other staff roles, or be assisted only by one or two other staff. Staff may have more expanded roles than are listed here, and the powers of many roles may be combined into only one or two staff positions. Multiple versions of each staff role may be assigned when needed (sometimes in the form of Deputies or Assistants, which is designated on the badge), however only one Commander and Vice Commander may exist per area of responsibility.  Which staff roles, what specific powers they have, and how many roles are assigned depends on the needs and size of the area of responsibility.  Staff roles may typically exercise their authority across all commands and units within their jurisdiction.

​Headquarters staff roles are considered in addition to regularly assigned unit responsibilities and duties, unless specifically included in those duties. Facility Commandants also have the ability to appoint Headquarters Staff in the same way Sector Commanders do. When appointed, Facility Headquarters Staff use the same roles and descriptions as Sector Headquarters Staff, but their badges display the facility name or number rather than the Sector and number. All Staff are designated by colored role badges worn below the number tape.
