Fleet Executive Officer

The Fleet Executive Officer is the second in command for the entire fleet. Like all Executive Officers, the Executive Officer's duty is to oversee the day to day affairs of the fleet and act in the Fleet Commander's place should the latter be unavailable or incapacitated. Like the Fleet Commander, the Fleet Executive Officer has a permanent office on the fleet's Starbase and Citadel, as well as a flagship on standby should he have need of it.
Aside from overseeing the fleet's operations, the Executive Officer also acts as a liaison between the Fleet Commander and and the rest of the fleet.   Should the need arise, the Executive Officer is authorized to handle all promotions, demotions, awards, and disciplinary action within the fleet.  In the Fleet Commander's absence, the Executive Officer has direct authority to assign any officer within the fleet to any posting within the fleet, though he may defer to a department or ship's Commanding Officer where appropriate.
