Federal Bureau of TASKFORCE

The Federal Bureau of TASKFORCE commonly referred to as TASKFORCE or sometimes the The Bureau is a branch of the Galactic Federation Military founded on the 7th December 2206.
==Ranking Structure==
===Commissioner of TASKFORCE===
 
As in its previous iteration, the highest ranking individual in TASKFORCE is the Commissioner. The Commissioner is an OF-16 rank, equal to a Fleet Admiral in the Navy or a Marshall in the Marine Corps. The Commissioner has complete oversight over the entire branch, and is responsible for leading the branch as a whole. The Commissioner is responsible for ensuring the budget is spent, operations are complete, and the internal workings of TASKFORCE are functioning as intended. 
As the head of a military branch, the Commissioner of TASKFORCE also sits on the Federation Security Council, therefore having a say in military operations for the whole Federation. The Commissioner is answerable only to the Security Council and can therefore only be removed by them. An outgoing Commissioner that is departing the role amicably may choose their successor, elsewise, the Security Council will appoint a new Commissioner following a vote within TASKFORCE. 
Unlike other OF-16 ranks, there is only ever one Commissioner active at a time. 
Following the founding of the Federal Bureau of TASKFORCE, the following individuals have served as a Commissioner of TASKFORCE: 
*Commissioner Jacen Ourelios [2207 - Present]
===Deputy Commissioner of TASKFORCE===
 
As in its previous iteration, the second-highest ranking individual in TASKFORCE is the Deputy Commissioner. The Deputy Commissioner is an OF-15 rank, equal to an Admiral in the Navy or a General in the Marine Corps. Unlike the Commissioner position, the Deputy Commissioner is directly appointed by the Commissioner themselves, rather than the Security Council. The responsibility of the Deputy Commissioner is to oversee day-to-day running of TASKFORCE, ensuring all operations are being carried out, and meeting with the Assistant Commissioners to ensure that all TASKFORCE Groups are operating without issue. 
In the absence of the Commissioner, the Deputy Commissioner may assume the roles and responsibilities as Acting Commissioner until such a time when the Commissioner is present. As with the Commissioner role, there is usually only one Deputy Commissioner at a time, although this is not necessarily set in stone. 
Following the founding of the Federal Bureau of TASKFORCE, the following individuals have served as a Deputy Commissioner of TASKFORCE: 
*Deputy Commissioner Jacen Ourelios [2206 - 2207]
*Deputy Commissioner Selena Grant [2207 - Present]
===Assistant Commissioner of TASKFORCE===
 
The Assistant Commissioner(s) of TASKFORCE is the third highest rank within the military branch. An OF-14 rank, equal to a Vice Admiral in the Navy or a Lieutenant General in the Marine Corps. Working beneath the Deputy Commissioner, the Assistant Commissioner has a more directed responsibility. Usually there are three Assistant Commissioners, each overseeing one of the three TASKFORCE directives. Combat, Espionage and Investigations. The Assistant Commissioners responsibility is to ensure the continued running of these three directives by co-ordinating with all TASKFORCE Captains to ensure their TASKFORCE group has the correct amount of support and resources. 
For example, the Assistant Commissioner of Combat's role is to ensure that TASKFORCE Groups are well equipped with the tools to fight and defend in dangerous enviornments, as well as ensuring each group has transport and munitions. 
Each Assistant Commissioner has a team working under them that do not belong to any one TASKFORCE group, this team ensure that the directive is being met. 
In the absence of the Deputy Commissioner, one of the Assistant Commissioners may take on the roles and responsibilities as Acting Deputy Commissioner. 
The current three Assistant Commissioners of TASKFORCE are: 
*Assistant Commissioner Gro Kal-Shah (Combat) [2206 - Present]
*Assistant Commissioner Felnorithiam (Investigations) [2206 - Present]
*Assistant Commissioner Jayne Illandros (Espionage) [2206 - Present]
===Captain-Commander of TASKFORCE===
 
The Captain-Commander of TASKFORCE is a special rank that exists within the military branch. The Captain-Commander position was created to give a Captain of one of the TASKFORCE Groups seniority over the others, so that when joint operations are occuring, there can be one leader making the calls. The Captain-Commander rank is, unlike the ranks before it, not a rank that is required to be attained in order to achieve higher ranks. The Captain-Commander rank is honourary and not required to ascend higher within the branch. 
Since the formation of the Federal Bureau, the Captain-Commander position has always been held by the Captain of TASKFORCE One. This is due to the fact that TASKFORCE One is seen as the elite TASKFORCE group, filled with some of the most powerful and capable individuals, therefore the Captain should hold further seniority. 
The Captain-Commander position holds its origins in the former Galactic Resistance military branch, The Division, which merged with the Imperial Bureau of TASKFORCE to create the Federal Bureau, on the founding of the Federation. The Captain-Commander in The Division was considered one of the most feared and powerful individuals in the resistance. This reputation and responsibility has been retained in TASKFORCE, with the Captain-Commander needing to be very experienced, capable in combat, a fearsome reputation and a talent for leadership. As the Captain of TASKFORCE One, they will be leading the charge against the Geist, making these requirements a necessity. 
Following the founding of the Federal Bureau of TASKFORCE, the following individuals have served as a Captain-Commander of TASKFORCE: 
*Captain-Commander Gabriel Ramirez [2206 - Present]
===Captain of TASKFORCE===
 
A Captain of TASKFORCE is a senior rank within the military branch. A Captain of TASKFORCE is a rank held by an individual that has a fearsome reputation and is considered very powerful in combat, intelligence or espionage. A Captain serves as the head of one of the ten TASKFORCE Groups, as is the commanding officer for the group's operations. They are responsible for ensuring that assigned operations are carried out efficiently. They work with the Assistant Commissioners and Deputy Commissioner to ensure this happens without issue. 
A Captain ordinarily does not enter the field unless absolutely necessary, with field work usually being overseen by the Vice Captain or Commander of the group. Instead, a Captain will direct operations from the group's base of operations or starship. They are directly responsible for the success of their group's operations, and will be held accountable for failiure. A Captain is appointed by the Commissioner directly, with the criteria and requirements to become one being extremely high. 
Due to these requirements, a TASKFORCE Captain is highly regarded throughout the Federation. They are feared for their power by their enemies and admired for their strength by their allies. 
All Captains are equal in rank, except for the above mentioned Captain-Commander. However, the Captain of TASKFORCE Two is also held to a higher regard as TASKFORCE Two is seen as the other elite TASKFORCE group beneath TASKFORCE One.
