== Present Senior Staff ==
=== CIC ===

*Colonel Saul Tigh - Executive officer 
*Captain Kara Thrace - Commander Air Group

=== Support ===
*Major Sherman Cottle - Chief Medical Officer
=== Marines ===
*Lieutenant Terry Burrell (seen only in "Sacrifice") 
*Unnamed lieutenant (seen only in "Escape Velocity" and "A Disquiet Follows My Soul")
== Chain of Command ==
The current commander of Galactica is Admiral Adama, and second-in-command is Colonel Tigh (Tigh has retained this position despite the revelation that he is one of the Final Five Cylons). Captain Karl Agathon has risen to third-in-command and has frequently filled in as executive officer. Beyond that the hierarchy is unclear. Major Cottle is a medical officer and outside of the chain of command, and Captain Aaron Kelly's detention ("The Son Also Rises") presumably removes him from the order of precedence.
