| has gloss | (noun) a commissioned officer with combat units (not a staff officer or a supply officer) line officer |
| has gloss | eng: The term line officer (or "officer of the line") is used in the United States Armed Forces to describe a military officer who is trained to command a warship, ground combat unit, combat aviation unit, or combat support unit. Officers who are not line officers are those whose primary duties are in non-combat specialties including chaplains, lawyers, supply officers and medical officers. Line officers may also be assigned non-combat roles. Non-line officers are often assigned to tasks normally given to line officers. Also, non-line officers at the squadron or Group level (and higher) are also issued "G-Series" orders which gives them the same relative power of line officers of equivalent rank. In operational circumstances line officers may hold positional authority over non-line officers of higher rank given the circumstance but is often ignored in modern wartime symbiotic military relationships. |
