Communications/Operations Cadet Requirements

Operations majors provide an interface between the day-to-day normal activities of the crew on board ship and the command personnel, as well as providing audio and video communications with personnel on ship and on planets, and provide an interface with StarFleet Command through the subspace radio on board. The communications/operations fields were merged in StarFleet in 2320.

This is the major for cadets who wish to pursue advancement in the command line fields of StarFleet. Operations personnel study a program designed to give them a working knowledge of all other divisions in StarFleet. Ops officers are frequently trained to become commanders themselves. The Ops cadet usually minors in Helm/Navigation, but any other field where a minor is offered is acceptable.
