Starfleet Divisions

The Earth Starfleet had three broad divisions for its stellar naval forces: command, ship operations, and sciences. Ship Operations was the division for engineers, communications, ship system maintenance, and tactical / security. Sciences included all sciences, including medical services. Command division included navigation and ship command.

By the 2260s, Starfleet began testing new uniforms and new means of identifying various divisions of its officers, and separated out the various divisions by color on the proposed 2270 uniform redesign.

==Mid 2270s Divisions==
The proposed uniforms of the early 2270s were not well received in their limited run on Earth at Starfleet Command and for all ships under Sector 001. A competing design won out, and the division colors were slightly altered to fit the new red uniforms.

This pattern of uniform continued until the 2340s, when tensions with the Klingons decreased after Narendra III, and Starfleet adopted a simpler uniform pattern, and due to a now 70 year association with command, adopted a red command division, yellow operations division, and blue science division uniform.
