** Inverted in the case of series protagonist Jack Bauer, who starts the series as Director of CTU Los Angeles. In Season 3, he's merely the Head of Field Ops, and in subsequent seasons, he's just a field agent without rank, albeit one who informally calls the shots. Justified somewhat by the fact that Jack doesn't actually work at CTU anymore after Season 3 and is usually just temporarily reinstated on a provisional basis at the start of a season.

*** This has, however, been one of the most controversial elements of Chief O'Brien's character. While he was consistently referred to as Chief O'Brien on The Next Generation, there was at least one episode where he's referred to as a lieutenant, and throughout the show he wears the rank insignia of a full lieutenant. The novelization of Deep Space Nine's pilot refers to him as a subensign, and in the episode he wears one black pip. For the most part, The Next Generation seems to assume enlisted personnel are a rarity and officers the norm on a starship, while Deep Space Nine is often more open to the idea of enlisted personnel serving on Starfleet ships and bases.
