Manpower

• Back to Star Fleet Organization

Star Fleet is an immense organization, made up of hundreds of thousands of personnel, all from varying species, planets and cultures and all with their own training and experiential backgrounds. Star Fleet Manpower ensures that all Star Fleet operations, vessels, starbases and agencies receive adequate and trained staffing. It oversees the education and training of all Star Fleet personnel, from enlisted technicians to officer candidates and midshipman to highly experienced senior officers. It assigns new ensigns to their respective first tours of duty upon graduation and receives for action personnel requests, such as transfers or additional education and training. The Chief of Manpower is also charged with overseeing the promotion boards that enable Star Fleet's "up or out" doctrine to work successfully.

The Chief of Manpower is an Admiral, while the Deputy Chief of Manpower is a Vice Admiral.

• The Office of Education and Training is commanded by a Vice Admiral, who has direct oversight of the four training commands (Academy, Recruit, Marine and Technical Services), the Advanced Programs Command, and the Department of Certifications.
  • Star Fleet Academy is commanded by the Superintendent, a senior and respected Vice Admiral who plans to retire following the assignment. The main campus of Star Fleet Academy is located on Earth, from where the Superintendent directly guides the curriculum of all the campuses. Presently, no annexes exist elsewhere, but there are plans to establish at least one on another founding world, as well as more distant but large worlds. Annex Superintendents, also generally last-tour Vice Admirals, report directly to the Academy Superintendent.
    • Starfleet Academy Annex xxx was established in xxxx, and has a 600/year student (2,400 total) capacity.
  • Recruit Training Command, headed by a Rear Admiral, oversees the Federation-wide series of Recruit Training Stations that are the entry point for enlisted personnel into Star Fleet. The initial military-format training conducted at these various stations is developed and modified by the training experts of the RTC.
    • Recruit Training Stations are commanded by Captains and are located on planets located around the Federation in order to meet the crew requirements of Star Fleet's starships and facilities. They can each process up to 2,400 personnel a year through the 4 three-month long basic training sessions, though fleet manpower requirements may dictate lower numbers. (Fleet recruits then attend a Technical Services Academy for follow-on nine months of training.)
  • Marine Training Command, headed by a Major General, oversees the Federation-wide series of Marine Training Camps that are the entry point for enlisted personnel into Star Fleet Marine Corps. The initial military-format training conducted at these various camps is developed and modified by the training experts of the MTC.
    • Marine Training Camps are commanded by Colonels and are located on planets located around the Federation in order to meet the Marine requirements of the Star Fleet Marine Corps. They can each process up to 2,400 personnel a year through the year-long basic/advanced training session, though corps manpower requirements may dictate lower numbers.
  • The Technical Services Academy, commanded by a Rear Admiral, develops the highly-technical curriculum required to ensure Star Fleet's enlisted members have the skills to successfully crew the starships and facilities Federation-wide. Following graduation from a Recruit Training Station, a Fleet Recruit will attend the nine-month training program assigned at a Technical Services Campus, which is usually co-located to the station. From that point, the service member is promoted to Crewman Second Class and assigned to their first tour.
    • The Technical Services Campus xxx, commanded by a Captain, was established in xxxx, and graduates 2,400 students a year (at 1,800 students at a time).
