DIVISIONS & DEPARTMENTS

Starfleet Divisions

Starfleet divisions are specialized organizational structures within Starfleet. Over time many different forms of the Starfleet uniform represented the three main divisions: Command, Operations, Sciences. They are identified by a color code department color, and sometimes a patch or collar insignia.

KJ Ship's Departments

The Katherine Johnson (Chapter/Ship) is divided into nine different departments (although some are under others), grouping crew members by common interests and talents. Currently, these departments are: Command, Operations, Communications (under Ops), Engineering, Medical, Counseling (under Medical), Science, Security, and Tactical/Weapons (under Security). Upon signing on with the Katherine Johnson, each crew member is encouraged to join a department for which they have an interest.

For each Department, a Chief is appointed by the CO. They are encouraged to help implement projects and events in their area of interest for the ship. As determined by the CO and XO, for the good of the Ship, Department Chiefs may also handle certain real-life functions within the chapter that relate to the area of interest of their department.

The following sections briefly describe areas of interest for each department, and related Department Chief duties. These duties may be changed at the discretion of the CO and XO. (NOTE: The KJ "member's only" Chapter Handbook contains the most complete and up to date details concerning KJ ship command, organization, and departments.)
