what is an officer billet
Several terms should be defined before I go further. A billet is a position like Platoon Commander, Company Commander, Executive Officer, Squad Leader and so on. An Occupation is a field of specialty, like Infantry, Supply, Finance and so on.Although a Captain staffs the billet of Company Commander, this is not always a rule. If there are not enough of a certain rank then a senior member of a lower rank is assigned to that billet.illets. The military, like any organization, has different positions within its organizational structure. NCOâs or Non Commissioned Officers are not brutes who bully the lower rankers into obeying orders. Officers are not the only ones who make tactical decisions.
