6 | Military and similarly organized groups are structured in a way to manage the functions of their unit. Even in shows where the team may not be technically military, there is a deliberate command infrastructure that designates seniority. As such these characters are either a [[TheSquad small group of soldiers]] working together or they may just be the senior officers commanding an entire division of a platoon or vessel. The crew of a CoolShip (or any other cool vehicle of sufficient size) often takes this form, and may be supplemented by a RedshirtArmy of lesser crewmen on larger vessels. Frequently they are a BadassCrew. |
7 | |
8 | Compare the FiveManBand, which has a different structure and purpose but still follows a similar pattern. The primary difference relative to TheSquad is that almost everyone in the Command Roster has a position of leadership or authority. |
9 | |
10 | The Command Roster usually follows as such: |
11 | * TheCaptain (The one in charge. More often than not the main character.) |
12 | * NumberTwo (The go-to guy for important missions, usually the [[TheLancer confidant of the captain.]] Likely to overlap with another role.) |
13 | * MrFixit [[DistaffCounterpart or]] WrenchWench (Takes care of equipment and maintenance. Usually the technical savvy.) |
14 | * The Scientist (Examines and informs the rest on technical things. May or may not be an OmnidisciplinaryScientist.) |
15 | * CunningLinguist (A translator who speaks with the natives.) |
16 | * CommunicationsOfficer (Often holding some sort of radio, yelling into it.) |
17 | * Security Officer (Is the primary source for combat detail: security, surveillance and [[TheArmorer weaponry access]].) |
18 | * [[TheBigGuy The Marine]] (The Marine is likely self-assumed or just the best fighter and differs from security officer in that they specialize in fighting, be they armed or [[BareFistedMonk unarmed]].) |
19 | * TheMedic (Either a full-fledged doctor with a staff and hospital conditions or a field medic.) |
20 | * [[TeamChef The Chef]] (The one who cooks meals for the crew to keep them fed.) |
21 | |
22 | Sometimes there are a few additions to the crew. These additional characters may be separate from the others, but often there is overlap. |
23 | * AcePilot / Driver (Self-explanatory, the hotshot pilot. Not always on the team, especially if there isn't a CoolCar or CoolShip) |
24 | * TheNavigator (Figures out how to get where they're going. Usually works closely with the AcePilot). |
25 | * TheHeart (Takes care of the team's social well-being and is the moral center. Often not in combat. Usually overlaps with another role. If its own character, might be the cook or bartender. Sometimes the TeamMom) |
26 | * Medical Staff (If there is an entire hospital, TheMedic heads it, but one person can't run a hospital alone.) |
27 | ** DrFeelgood or DrJerk (Qualified to practice medicine, but doesn't really care about patients.) |
28 | ** The Nurse (Either one of the {{Hospital Hottie}}s the team employs, or a BattleaxeNurse to stir things up.) |
29 | ** TheShrink (Takes care of the team's mental health, which may be necessary considering what they have to go through in their adventures.) |
30 | * ArmyScout (Traversing the front lines to bring back intel to the main crew. May be redundant with Communications Officer or Security Officer) |
31 | * The RedShirt (So someone can get killed without impacting the plot.) |
32 | |
33 | Some additional roles are not officially part of the crew, but interact with them frequently enough to earn a mention in the team list: |
34 | * The Superior (Someone the captain reports to, usually not a regular crew member. Is often concerned with the more political aspect of things, especially in regards to a governing council.) |
35 | ** ReasonableAuthorityFigure (Outranks everyone on the crew. Sticks to the rules, but willing to give them leeway when necessary. Sometimes is like a mentor to the group.) |
36 | ** TheNeidermeyer (Has the same job as the ReasonableAuthorityFigure, but completely unlikeable to those under him.) |
37 | * ObstructiveBureaucrat (Obviously not a member of the team, but likely someone who is giving the ReasonableAuthorityFigure or TheCaptain a hard time.) |
38 | * MissionControl (A VoiceWithAnInternetConnection who is capable of leading them with satellite imagery and other information. The Communication Officer's other end.) |
39 | |
40 | The members can be divided into three types: [[TheLeader the leadership roles]], [[TheSmartGuy the intelligent members]] and [[TheBigGuy the action-oriented members]]. This may be why, in comparison to the FiveManBand, the roles don't always line up perfectly: |
41 | * TheLeader will often be TheCaptain, but is just as likely to be NumberTwo and on rare occasions, The Scientist. |
42 | * TheLancer is usually NumberTwo, but can also be The Scientist or The Security Officer, especially if NumberTwo overlaps with another role. |
43 | * TheBigGuy is likely The Security Officer and/or The Marine, but can be NumberTwo as well. |
44 | * TheSmartGuy is most often The Scientist, but can just as easily be TheMedic, MrFixit or the CunningLinguist. |
45 | * The SixthRanger is just as likely with the Command Roster, usually stepping on the toes of one of the other roles. |
46 | |
47 | Compared to TheSquad, however, the roles are a little more consistent: |
48 | * GeneralRipper: The Superior |
49 | * ColonelBadass: TheCaptain |
50 | * SergeantRock: NumberTwo |
51 | * SpaceMarine or ColdSniper: Security Officer or The Marine |
52 | * CunningLinguist: Cunning Linguist |
53 | * TheEngineer: MrFixit |
54 | * CombatMedic: TheMedic |
55 | * EnsignNewbie or NewMeat: varies |
56 | |
57 | For further reference, see also UsefulNotes/CommonRanks and UsefulNotes/CommonMilitaryUnits. |
58 | |
59 | There are times when various characters are missing or replaced with a different character type, all depending on the needs of the story. It is only a Command Roster when there are at least four characters from the primary list, otherwise it is just TheSquad. |
60 | |
61 | The very presence of main characters in command roles, especially if they have an army of GhostExtras to back them up, typically leads to TheMainCharactersDoEverything. |

107 | * '''KeroroGunso''' |
108 | ** Uses literal military rankings. Interestingly, Sgt. Major Kururu (a MrFixIt type) technically outranks the main character Sgt. Keroro (the actual platoon leader). Various rationales exist in the story to explain Keroro's position, but mainly it's heavily implied Kururu was too socially offputting and a technological liability back home, and was dumped in Keroro's platoon simply to get him off-world. Ironically, Kururu himself is happy to follow the undemanding Keroro who allows him to mess with his inventions/pranks unmolested. |

522 | ** The Security Officer/ Marine - Arch-Militant, the precise designation depending on character. |
523 | ** Communications Officer - Astropaths Transcendent, who dispense with the radio and just shout into the Warp. |
524 | ** MrFixit[=/=]The Scientist - Explorator |
525 | ** The Heart- Missionary. Bear in mind this is a TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} game; that moral center tends to be based on setting fire to heretics. |
526 | ** The Navigator - surprisingly enough, Navigators. |
527 | ** The Scientist (again)[=/=]CunningLinguist - Seneschal. Scientist's a bit of a stretch, but this is the guy who knows everything about trade and the ins and outs of local life -- his "technical things" are more likely to be an Ork blockade on a space-lane rather than the inner workings of a plasma drive. |
528 | ** AcePilot - Void-Masters, although they may instead be expert gunners or scanner operators, rather than specialising in piloting. |
529 | * In ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'', the Mandatory Bonus Duties typically assigned to Troubleshooter teams are [[TheCaptain Team Leader]], Communication and Recording Officer, [[MrFixit Equipment Guy]], [[HappinessIsMandatory Happiness Officer]], Hygiene Officer, and [[ThePoliticalOfficer Loyalty Officer]].

531 | ** One mission introduces [[NumberTwo Executive Officer]], who (in addition to the usual roles) gets a brevet promotion for the purpose of wearing a higher-clearance uniform, to draw the fire of Commies [[DecoyLeader mistaking him]] for the [[StraightForTheCommander Team Leader]]. As usual for ''Paranoia'', The Computer [[DidntThinkThisThrough didn't think this through]] properly: |
532 | ---> '''Green-clearance Team Leader:''' All right, men, let's go! |
533 | ---> '''Random bystander:''' Hey, why are you letting him boss you around? |

557 | ** The Scientist: Liara T'Soni. |

606 | ** NumberTwo: Megaman, the first member recruited, also took over the team at least once when the leader isn't available |
607 | ** The Marine: 2 for each team - Knightman or Magnetman work to defend their teammates in different ways, while Tomahawkman and Napalmman specializes in wide area attacks. |

620 | * ''VideoGame/SpaceStation13'' features a command crew of high-ranking player jobs, many of which are the heads of specialized crew departments, which more common player jobs fall under. The layout varies slightly between codebases, but the common roles are: |
621 | ** TheCaptain: The Captain, who has the highest authority on the station. |
622 | ** NumberTwo: The Head of Personnel is the official second-in-command, and usually takes charge if the captain is unavailable or dead.

623 | ** Security Officer: The Head of Security, arbiter of space-law and leader of the station's RedshirtArmy. Oversees the brig and armory, and is officially the third-in-command. |
