Executive officer

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Revision as of 02:24, July 22, 2012 by Smoke. (talk | contribs) (On the contrary, the executive officer IS part of command. Rewrote to explain what an executive officer actually is. It doesn't change from branch to branch. Explained in detail on talk page.)

The executive officer (or XO) is a billet position in the armed forces. They are considered command positions, and is always the officer that is junior to the commanding officer.

Executive officers exist at every level of organization from the platoon onward.
