FORWARD

The Star Fleet Command Manual was created to lay the foundation for the structure, authority and
functions of Star Fleet. It is divided into nineteen volumes, each of which relates to a specific function of
the Department and is written in the languages of the worlds that are signatories to the Articles of
Federation. Not only is the function of the Star Fleet Command Manual to lay the foundation for the
Star Fleet, but also to act as a reference guide to all members of the Service and is used at all Star
Fleet training facilities for the education and indoctrination of its members. Every command within the
Department shall have at least one copy of the complete manual in the languages representing the
United Federation of Planets.

Therefore, I invite all members of the Star Fleet Service, especially those performing Instructor
Duty, to read this manual and become familiar with all the information it has to offer.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

INTRODUCTION
In the year 2203 the Federation Council and the Military Staff Committee was tasked, under
Executive Order 521, to develop the structure, authority and operation of the Department of the
Star Fleet. A special task force composed of the military experts from all the signatory members of the
Federation was created to establish the structure of Star Fleet. The resulting document, along with
the Star Fleet Charter, was the Star Fleet Command Manual. In 2206, the Director issued
Executive Order 6.2, which directed the newly created office of the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel to
assimilate the contingents from the member systems into the Star Fleet Service. The initial manning of
the fleet began in 2207 with forces from the five signatory worlds. The first group consisted entirely of
those persons who would form the initial Star Fleet Officer Corps. This group was largely made up of
active and retired officers from the old Space Service and from the signatory forces. These individuals
were sent to an interim "Academy" that was created at an old military base in Alameda, California on
Earth, and were trained in the military arts and the newly developed customs and regulations of Star
Fleet.

This specific volume, Volume XIV of the Star Fleet Command Manual, provides a detailed description
of the functions, standards and regulations regarding Star Fleet educational practice and Education
Division personnel, as well as the organizations responsible for all the individuals serving or employed
by the Star Fleet Division of Education. All aspects of divisional personnel will be discussed such as
how individuals enter the Education Division, how they are classified, and the duties they must
perform. Included also will be a special section dedicated entirely to the Star Fleet Academy.

Each volume of the Star Fleet Command Manual is written in the five languages of the original
signatories to the Articles of Federation. The Terranglo version of the manual is written for those
members of Star Fleet that originate from Earth and is written in the English language. Other versions
written in languages other than the standard five can be obtained from the Star Fleet Printing Office
upon request.

Throughout the manual the following typographic standards will be used:

1. Bolded items are important Star Fleet and Federation names, titles, designations and other key
words that Star Fleet personnel should become familiar with.
2. Titles, designations and other identifiers will be illustrated in a generic format. Where a specific value
must be entered to complete the title or phrase, angle brackets (“<>”) will be used to indicate the
point of insertion.
3. Where a choice is required in order to complete a title or phrase, a vertical bar (‘|’) is used to
indicate a selection. However, only one selection can be made from the choices offered. All choices
and ranges of choices are enclosed within braces (“{}”).
4. References to classified material will be exposed as to their classification level and printed in Bolded
RED.

1.0 STAR FLEET DIVISION OF EDUCATION


In this chapter the structure of the Star Fleet Division of Education will be presented.
The basic organizational structure for the Star Fleet Division of Education is illustrated
in Figure 14a10.1. Education, as it will be defined in this volume, will be concerned with
the entire scope of formal education and training within the Star Fleet. As such, this
division was created under ARTICLES 17, 43 and 56 of the Star Fleet Charter, and is
composed of several organizations responsible for training and educating Star Fleet
personnel, including those civilian employees of the Department.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION DIVISION

The Star Fleet Division of Education (SFEDU), also known as Star Fleet Education,
was created under Star Fleet Executive Order 14.0 by the Director: Star Fleet
Command, as illustrated on the next page. As such, the Star Fleet Division of
Education is responsible for all the educational activities, facilities, equipment and
personnel for the Department of the Star Fleet in accordance with ARTICLES 17 and 56
of the Star Fleet Charter. In addition, the Star Fleet Division of Education is also
responsible for the Star Fleet Academy and all its annexes as specified in Executive
Orders 14.0 and 14.1.

The Star Fleet Division of Education is made up of three organizations to execute the
functions to which it was chartered. These organizations are listed as:

• The Star Fleet Training Command


• The Star Fleet Academy
• The Office of Star Fleet Instructors

Each of these organizations will be discussed in the appropriate subsections pertaining to


the individual organizations within the Education Division.

In addition, the Division of Education also contains an administrative board to ensure


the professional conduct of the division’s teachers, professors, instructors and students:

• The Star Fleet Board of Educational Professionalism

The officer in command of the Star Fleet Division of Education is the Chief of Star
Fleet Education (CEDU). The CEDU is the senior officer over all education and training
activities, personnel and establishments of Star Fleet in accordance with ARTICLES 43
and 47 of the Star Fleet Charter, and reports directly to the Director: Star Fleet
Command pertaining to divisional and educational matters. The CEDU will generally be
an officer of the line Star Fleet Command, but may also be a senior flag officer from any
of the divisions within the Department of the Star Fleet. The CEDU will normally have
the rank of Rear Admiral and is in charge of the Office of the Chief of Star Fleet
Education, which contains the Education Chief of Staff and the President: Board of
Educational Professionalism.

1.1 STAR FLEET TRAINING COMMAND


The Star Fleet Training Command (TRAINCOM) is the central authority in charge of
all Star Fleet Training Centers and Fleet Schools, as well as the programs taught at
these facilities. A Star Fleet Training Center is a large base facility containing several
types of schools designed to provide elementary and advanced training in many fields of
specialization. Star Fleet Training Centers are primarily designed for enlisted personnel
in pursuit of their specialty. Fleet Schools, on the other hand, are smaller facilities with
limited areas of specialization. These facilities are generally located within smaller Star
Fleet bases and stations. They are primarily designed for more highly specialized training
within a field, or as schools to update, or enhance an individual’s knowledge within their
area of specialization, or for training on a specific system or piece of equipment. The chart
showing the organizational structure of this command is shown in Figure 14a11.1.

The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Training Command (CTRN) is the senior officer in
command of all activities and facilities within the Star Fleet Training Command
(TRAINCOM). As such, he is responsible for the management of all Star Fleet training
centers, schools and commands, the development of fleet training programs and for the
management of all fleet training center personnel. The CTRN is an officer of the line
(SFC) junior to the CEDU, and will typically have the rank of Rear Admiral.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The Star Fleet Training Command has the primary responsibility to manage and direct
all the activities pertaining to Star Fleet technical and job training and educational
matters, as well as the personnel and property associated with such matters. This division
is responsible for organizing all Star Fleet Training Centers and Training Commands
throughout Federation space and on Star Fleet property; to provide comprehensive and
up-to-date education to all Service members and civilian employees; to provide training in
all the job billets available to Service members; and to provide specific and specialized
training and professional knowledge in accordance with ARTICLE 56 of the Star Fleet
Charter.

Another major responsibility of this division is to keep the Chief of Star Fleet Education
and the Director: Star Fleet Command informed on the latest advances in training
methodology and specialized training technology. In addition, this division will also be
responsible for evaluating and employing education and training services from Federation
public and private educational institutions as needed, and to contract such facilities to
execute the same.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

OFFICE OF STAR FLEET TRAINING CENTERS

The primary function of the Office of Star Fleet Training Centers is to manage all the
Star Fleet Training Centers and Fleet Schools. This office has the authority to decide
where such facilities are to be located and built. As such, this office works with the Star
Fleet Corps of Engineers in the configuration and construction of Star Fleet Training
Centers and with Base Commanders in the location of Fleet Schools. In addition, this
office will also manage all the instructors assigned to the training centers. The high-level
organizational structure for this office is shown in Figure 14a11.2.

The function of the Training Facility Design Requirements Section is to establish the
basic design and operating requirements for Star Fleet shore training centers and
facilities. Such requirements include, but not limited to, the general layout of classrooms,
lecture rooms, labs and offices; the juxtaposition of these areas; the locations and
proximity of differing subject areas within the same structure or space; the placement of
equipment within these areas; the environmental standards of classrooms; and the
standards of training area esthetics. All of the aforementioned requirements will be
assembled into a single set of design specifications that will be given to the various
engineering, construction and administrative commands such as, the Star Base Systems
Command, the Star Fleet Corps of Engineers, and the Star Fleet Construction
Command.

The function of the Training Facility Personnel Section is to perform those functions
related to the allocation, administration and management of the training center personnel.
In addition, this section is responsible for the training and certification of the instructors
and teachers working at these facilities. This includes both Star Fleet as well as those
civilian instructors hired to teach. As such, this section will work with the Office of Star
Fleet Instructors regarding the allocation, training and certification of instructors at Star
Fleet training facilities. Thus, this section primarily maintains all the personnel records of
the staff, except for medical records, which is the responsibility of the Medical
Department; manages the pay and allotments of the training staff; and manages the
yeomen assigned to the facility and other such administrative personnel.

The function of the Training Facility Management Section is to establish the principles
and procedures for the management of Star Fleet Training Centers. These are basically
guidelines that the Commanding Officers of such facilities must establish for the proper
management of their facility.

The function of the Training Facility Furnishing Section is to ensure that all the
buildings, classrooms and habitable areas are equipped with the proper and specified
furnishings such as tables, chairs, desks, lamps, small portable computers, and all the
necessary Star Fleet office and workplace equipment and accouterments. As such, this
section will work with the Star Fleet Supply Command in the purchase or allocation of
such equipment.

The function of the Training Facility Maintenance Section is to establish the standards
and requirements for the maintenance and cleanliness of all training facilities, both inside
and around such facilities. The standards and requirements developed by this section will
be published and sent to all Star Fleet training facilities throughout the Federation.
Private or public institutions that have contracted with the Education Division must also
adhere to the same standards and requirements as Star Fleet. Such standards include the
sanitation of medical training areas, scientific, engineering, and medical laboratories, as
well as living quarters, bathrooms and washing areas, and food preparation areas. This
office will also establish the schedules for training facility cleaning and preventive
maintenance, and the equipment that shall be used in performing such maintenance.

In charge of this office is the Commander: Fleet Training Centers (COMTRNCEN),


the senior officer in charge of the Office of Star Fleet Training Centers (TRNFAC) and
of all activities regarding the planning, designing, building, staffing and management of
Star Fleet training commands and centers. The COMTRNCEN is an officer of the line

OFFICE OF STAR FLEET TRAINING SIMULATORS

The function of the Office of Star Fleet Training Simulators is to operate and manage
all Star Fleet training simulators, their facilities and staff. In general, simulators are used
to provide hands-on experience in the operation of Star Fleet ships and craft without
having to use actual equipment. In addition, this office will also develop the many training
scenarios that will be run by these simulators. The high-level organizational structure for
this office is shown in Figure 14a11.3.

Within the Office of Star Fleet Training Simulators, the function of the Simulator
Engineering Section is to develop, design and build specialized training simulators,
including the development of the hardware, panels, simulation models and software that
run such simulators. As such, this section will work closely with the Star Fleet Office of
Engineering of the Star Fleet Engineering Command in the design and building of
training simulators; will work closely with the Star Fleet Information Systems
Command regarding the design and building of the mathematical models and computer
programs that execute the simulation; and this section will also work with the Star Fleet
Corps of Engineers regarding the design and construction of the buildings and support
facilities needed to house and power such simulators.

The function of the Simulator Management Section is to develop the procedures and
guidelines pertaining to the control and management of Star Fleet simulators and
simulator facilities. This section will also train the instructors that will be operating Star
Fleet simulators. All simulator operating manuals, programming manuals, training scenario
guidelines, and emergency instructions will be developed, published and provided by this
section. However, the procedures and guidelines that pertain to the management of the
simulator facility itself, i.e. buildings and grounds, will be provided by the Training
Facility Maintenance Section of the Office of Star Fleet Training Centers.

The function of the Simulator Maintenance Section is to develop the maintenance and
repair procedures and manuals for the specific simulators developed by this office. This
section is not involved with the maintenance of the facility, but the maintenance and repair
of the physical simulator, including all computers, panels, switches, circuitry, and displays.
As such, this section will primarily contain engineers and Technicians that will travel to
individual simulator facilities to fix inoperative simulators, and will teach the staff at Star
Fleet simulator centers in how to perform minor repairs and general maintenance of their
local simulator.

In charge of this office is the Commander: Fleet Training Simulators (COMTRNSIM),


the senior officer in charge of all the simulators and training computers employed by the
Division of Education. The COMTRNSIM will usually be an officer of the line (SFC),
junior to the CTRN, and will typically have the rank of Captain. However, because this is
a somewhat technical position, the COMTRNSIM may also be a Staff Corps officer of
the Engineering Corps or a Restricted Line Officer that is restricted to technical or
engineering duty as well.

STAR FLEET OFFICE OF TRAINING PROGRAMS

The Office of Star Fleet Training Programs develops and manages all the programs
and curricula for TRAINCOM. This office will analyze and determine the training needs of
the fleet and will create, or modify, any training program to suit the needs of the fleet. The
programs developed by this office will be submitted to the Office of Star Fleet Training
Centers for implementation at their sites. The high-level organizational structure for this
office is shown in Figure 14a11.4.

The function of the Training Program Requirements Section is to develop the


requirements for technical training within the Department of the Star Fleet in terms of
subject matter, courses, and lessons to be taught. It is this section that determines what is
taught at the various Fleet Schools, primarily for enlisted personnel. The courses that are
determined by this section range from highly technical subjects such as warp propulsion,
phaser weaponry, computer maintenance, programming, to the simpler subjects such as
data entry and other basic clerical duties. As such, this section establishes the course
outlines on all Star Fleet subject matters including medical, legal, security, logistical,
financial, diplomatic and personnel administration.

The function of the Training Programs Management Section is to manage and


maintain the various subject matter courses under the administration of the Star Fleet
Training Command. As such, this section implements and manages the courses specified
by the Training Program Requirements Section described above. Therefore, changes
to any course, subject matter or any new course or revision to an existing course will be
handled by this section. Once a specific training program has been established, this section
will send the guidelines and requirements of a course to all the Fleet Schools where this
specific course will be taught. It will be up to the individual school to allocate the material
and equipment for the course to be taught, based upon the requirements submitted by
this section.

The Training Materials Requirements Section generally works with the Training
Program Requirements Section in establishing the requirements for any training aid,
equipment, manual, or document that may be needed as part of the training program for
any subject matter course. Many technical courses require the equipment of machinery on
which hands-on experience can be obtained during course study. For example, a course on
the workings of a ship’s Transporter system will require an actual unit, along with all
controls, computers, and power supplies. The unit would be used to gain experience using
the device as well as repairing the unit. As for any manuals or documents that will be
required, this section will establish the requirements for such documents and will submit
them to the Office of Star Fleet Training Materials discussed on the next page.

In charge of this office is the Commander: Fleet Training Programs (COMTRNPRG),


the senior officer in charge of the Office of Star Fleet Training Programs, and of all
activities regarding the planning and development of generalized and specific training
programs. The COMTRNPRG will generally be an officer of the line (SFC) junior to the
CTRN, and will typically have the rank of Captain. However, the COMTRNPRG may be
any command officer that has knowledge and experience in developing Star Fleet training
programs.

STAR FLEET COMMANDING OFFICER SCHOOL

The function of the Star Fleet Commanding Officer School is to train future Star
Fleet Commanding Officers in the general management of commands. The school is a
twelve-week program focused on command management, decision-making, the
regulations specific to Commanding Officers and interplanetary law. All Star Fleet
officers that currently hold the position of Executive Officer will attend this school at
some point in their career. It is a Star Fleet requirement that all officers eligible for
command must attend this school before they can assume the duty as Commanding
Officer. In addition, officers currently holding the position of Commanding Officer may
also attend refresher and other courses provided by the school. Such refresher courses
usually have durations of one week. However, the school does not train or certify flag
officers that will command any major operational or administrative command within Star
Fleet. It is assumed that such officers have already been trained at the school prior to
becoming a flag officer. The high-level organizational structure for this office is shown in
Figure 14a11.6.

The function of the Commanding Officer Requirements Section is to establish the


requirements for entry into the school and for the requirements needed for prospective
Commanding Officers to complete the program. As part of its function, this section will
also develop the core courses of study, the conditions for passing each phase of the
program, and the various practical factors and tests of command decision-making.

Several Commanding Officer Schools are located throughout the Federation. As such,
all Commanding Officer Schools are built the same and contain the same configuration
of classrooms and simulators. Therefore, in order to maintain consistency across all the
schools, the Commanding Officer School Facilities Section was created to establish
the requirements and specifications for the look and function of all Commanding Officer
School facilities throughout the Federation. This not only includes the basic design and
layout of the school, but also how the grounds are designed and how they are to be kept.

The function of the Commanding Officer School Instructor Section is to allocate and
train instructors that will teach at these schools, and to establish and maintain the
requirements for such individuals to teach at the schools. Primarily, this section will create
and maintain the requirements for instructors at the schools. These requirements will be
issued to each of the school’s Personnel Officer. It is the duty of the school’s Personnel
Officer to hire, allocate, train and evaluate the instructors at their respective school.

The function of the Commanding Officer School Materials Section is to establish and
maintain the requirements for the materials and equipment used for instruction at these
schools. In addition, this section will also allocate the various furnishings for each of the
schools that are built. Individual schools need only allocate or purchase the consumable
items used at each of these schools.

In charge of this office is the Commander: Commanding Officer School


(COMCOSKOL), the senior officer in charge of planning, scheduling, training and
certifying future Commanding Officers, and for the management of the school and its
staff. The COMCOSKOL is an officer of the line (SFC) junior to the CTRN, and will
typically have the rank of Captain. Typically, the COMCOSKOL will be a command officer
that has experience as a Commanding Officer. Usually, and ideally, the COMCOSKOL
selected would have commanded a line Starship in the past, with at least five-years
experience as a Commanding Officer.

1.2 THE STAR FLEET ACADEMY[1]


The Star Fleet Academy (ACADEMY) is a military institution for the undergraduate and
graduate education of officers for Star Fleet service. The chief mission of the Star Fleet
Academy is to develop Midshipmen morally, mentally, and physically. In addition to its
technical education, the Academy will also imbue in Midshipmen the highest ideals of
duty, honor, and loyalty in order that it may provide Star Fleet with graduates who are
dedicated to a career within the Star Fleet Service, and that have the potential for future
development in mind and that have the character to assume the highest responsibilities of
command. The basic high-level organizational structure for the Star Fleet Academy is
shown in Figure 14a12.1. For a complete description of the Star Fleet Academy, its
personnel and programs, see Chapter 5 of this manual.

The Commandant: Star Fleet Academy (COMCAD) is the senior officer in command of
all activities and facilities within the Star Fleet Academy (ACADEMY), and is essentially
responsible for the management and administration of the Star Fleet Academy and all of
its annexes; for the management of all instructors and administrative personnel at the
Academy; for the development, management and discipline of all students at the
Academy; and for the development, maintenance and execution of the educational
programs provided by the Academy.

The COMCAD is an officer of the line (SFC) junior to the CEDU, and will typically have a
rank of Commodore. Under the COMCAD are the various heads of the academic
departments and administrative offices needed to carry out the mission of the Star Fleet
Academy. In addition, all the commanders, usually with the rank of Captain, of the
various Star Fleet Academy annexes will also report directly to the COMCAD.

RESPONSIBILITIES

As mentioned above, the Star Fleet Academy has the primary responsibility for training
and educating the Star Fleet officer corps as required under Paragraph 5 of ARTICLE 52
of the Articles of Federation and ARTICLE 56 of the Star Fleet Charter. As part of this
directive, the Academy will also be responsible for molding the character and discipline of
the officers and Technicians of the Star Fleet Service as well, and to instill in these
persons a sense of professionalism and commitment to duty as required by Star Fleet
Regulations 8130 and 8140.

The Star Fleet Academy will also be responsible for or tasked with providing research
support or in performing essential and basic research in engineering, science, medicine
and the military arts as may be requested or directed by higher authority.

STAR FLEET ACADEMY SYMBOL

The symbol for the Star Fleet Academy is an adaptation of the original symbol of the old
Space Military Academy. The Academy symbol is a triangular arrowhead with an
image of the Golden Gate Bridge, indicating San Francisco with a vertical Star Fleet
arrowhead above it. Both symbols are being splashed with light from a rising sun
indicating a new dawn. The triangle has a red border with the motto of the Academy
inscribed along the edge, and with the location and date of its creation at the bottom[2].

Illustration 14a12.1
STAR FLEET ACADEMY SYMBOL

The Academy's motto is Ex Astris, Scientia - "From The Stars, Knowledge", which was
derived from the old 20th century American NASA motto "Ex Luna Scientia", - "From The
Moon, Knowledge". In turn, that motto was inspired by "Ex Scientia Tridens", the motto of
the old Earth United States Naval Academy, meaning "From Knowledge, Seapower.” As
such, this tradition continued. The motto is a direct reference to Star Fleet’s mission as a
scientific and exploration organization as specified in Article 5 of the Star Fleet Charter,
which references ARTICLE 54 of the Articles of Federation. The symbol is displayed on
all documents and texts of the Academy, and is a patch worn on the jacket of cadets.
The symbol is displayed prominently throughout the campuses of the Academy system.
All buildings and facilities on campus will display this symbol.

DIVISION ORGANIZATION

The division is divided into five basic offices for the delegation of its responsibilities as
illustrated in Figure 14a12.1. These subdivisions or offices are:

• Star Fleet Academy Office of Administration


• Star Fleet Academy Undergraduate Cadet School
• Star Fleet Academy Graduate School
• Star Fleet Academy Annex Command
• Star Fleet Academy Facilities Management

Each of these subdivisions will be described in the subsequent sections below.

STAR FLEET ACADEMY OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION

The primary office tasked with the management of the Star Fleet Academy is the Office
of Administration. This office is responsible for the Academy budget, supplies, housing,
the management of instructors, cadets, scholastic programs, and the general management
of the facility. The Office of Administration basically performs all the administrative and
management duties for the Academy. In addition, this office also sets the standards for
entry into the Academy as well as determining the class size or the number of students in
the graduating class. Consequently, this office will create the examinations for entry and is
responsible for administering these tests in a fair and equitable fashion. The basic high-
level organizational structure for this office is shown in Figure 14a12.2.

Within the Star Fleet Academy Office of Administration, the function of the Office of
Academy Personnel is to primarily manage the staff of the Academy, except for the
faculty, which is managed by the Office of Academy Faculty, though there is a direct
link between the Office of Academy Personnel and the Office of Academy Faculty.

The function of the Office of Academy Supplies is to keep the Academy supplied with
the provisions, foodstuffs, tools, instruments, equipment, furnishings and personal items
that are required for the education of students and for life at the Academy. Generally,
this section will make the necessary requests to the Office of Star Fleet Training
Materials for those items directly related to educational activities, and to the Star Fleet
Supply Command for those essentials needed to sustain the facility such as tools, repair
parts, equipment and machinery.

The Office of the Registrar is basically responsible for the testing, selection, acceptance,
and management of the students at the main Academy. In addition, this office also sets
the guidelines for acceptance of students into any one of the several annexes as well. That
is, each annex will have its own Office of the Registrar to locally handle the acceptance
of students at the facility.

The function of the Office of Student Records is to maintain the academic and personal
records of all students at the Academy. These records will be kept up-to-date by staff and
faculty members up until graduation and commissioning of the cadet. Once commissioned,
student records will be electronically transferred to the Star Fleet Office of Personnel
Records. See Section 3.8 in Volume III of the Star Fleet Command Manual for details.
However, for graduate students, instructors will directly update the candidate’s personal
and academic record, but will only have access to Record Numbers 310-4, 310-8, and
310-9.

In charge of this office is the Academy Provost (PROVOST), the senior officer in charge
of the Star Fleet Academy Office of Administration, and of all activities regarding

STAR FLEET ACADEMY UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOL

The Star Fleet Academy Undergraduate Cadet School is that subdivision of the
Academy that manages the various undergraduate schools and programs. As such, the
Undergraduate School establishes the criteria for promotion and graduation, as well as
the basic curriculum for the various programs offered by the school. The Undergraduate
School also works with the various academic departments in establishing the courses
required to meet the undergraduate requirements and will standardize the curriculum
across all the annexes. The high-level organizational structure for this office is shown in
Figure 14a12.3.

Within the Undergraduate School, the function of the Office of Undergraduate


Students is to manage the cadet population. As such, this office will assign students to
dormitory rooms, establish the curriculum schedules, managing the student Mess Hall
and Social Center, managing the School Store, and disciplining students. The Office of
Undergraduate Students also contains a small medical office for the treatment of minor
illnesses, injuries, and to perform medical examinations. For major illnesses and injuries,
the student will be sent to the School of Medicine and Dentistry where there is a fully
equipped and staffed hospital facility.

The function of the Office of Undergraduate Programs is to establish the courses for
the programs offered and the requirements for completion of each program. The Office of
Undergraduate Programs is essentially a panel of educators that decides the minimum
requirements for each undergraduate degree program, the establishment of the core and
elective courses for each program, the course materials to be taught, the books that will
be used, and the requirements for instruction of each course.

The function of the Office of Undergraduate Services is to provide services to the


cadet population within the Academy. Such services include, but not limited to, social
services, remedial study services, the School Library, and off-duty recreation.

Lastly, the function of the Office of Undergraduate Material is to provide the cadet
student population with the items needed to sustain them while at the Academy. Such
items include toiletries, uniforms, uniform accouterments and regalia, learning materials,
notebooks, textbooks, tapes, and other consumable and non-consumable items. As such,
this office will manage the Academy Store, which is open to all students, and will work
with the Office of Academy Supplies in the allocation and purchase of store items.

In charge of this office is the Superintendent: Undergraduate School, the senior


officer in charge of the Academy Undergraduate Cadet School, and of all activities
regarding the training and discipline of cadets. The Superintendent: Undergraduate
School is an officer of the line (SFC) junior to the COMCAD, and will typically have the

STAR FLEET ACADEMY GRADUATE SCHOOL

The Star Fleet Academy Graduate School is that subdivision of the Academy that
manages the various graduate schools and programs for those who wish to further their
education or to enter a specific field of endeavor within Star Fleet. Most of the students
that enter the graduate school will typically enter a particular Staff Corps. The Graduate
School establishes the criteria for advanced degrees, as well as the curriculum for the
various programs offered by the school. The school will work with the various academic
departments in establishing the courses required to meet the post-graduate and advanced
study requirements. In addition to advanced degrees, the Graduate School also conducts
research for the Department of the Star Fleet in areas such as engineering, the
sciences, medicine and the military arts. For example, the School of Military Arts and
Science is essentially a research institution established to study military systems, their
effectiveness as well as strategies and tactics to be employed by Star Fleet. The high-
level organizational structure for this office is shown in Figure 14a12.4.

In general, students in the graduate program will be handled differently than in the cadet
program. As such, the Graduate School has the Office of Graduate Students for the
purpose of managing the graduate population. This office primarily contains graduate
advisors that guide the student in his or her research and studies, and to establish the
requirements for completion of the program to the graduate student.

The function of the Office of Graduate Programs is to establish and maintain the
courses for the graduate programs offered and the requirements for completion of each
program. Like the Office of Undergraduate Programs, the Office of Graduate
Programs will be a panel of educators that decides the minimum requirements for each
graduate degree program, the establishment of the core courses required for each
program, the course materials to be taught, the books that will be used, and the
requirements for instruction of each program.

An important part of graduate and post-graduate studies will include research into a
specific field of study by the student. As such, the Graduate School contains the Office
of Graduate Research for the management of the research programs available to
students. Some of the research programs will be initiated by the staff at the Academy.
These programs will be directed towards the betterment of Star Fleet. However, there
are other research programs that will be initiated by outside organizations such as the
Star Fleet Research and Development Command and by Federation government
and civilian research and educational institutions.

Along with the management of the research programs, the Graduate School also has the
Office of Graduate Research Facilities to manage and maintain the laboratories and
test areas required for the research performed at the Academy. In some instances,
research may be performed outside and away from the Academy. As such, this office will
also provide the graduate with the opportunity to utilize other facilities that are under
contract to the Academy.

In charge of this office is the Superintendent: Graduate School, the senior officer in
charge of the Academy Graduate School, and of all activities regarding graduate and
post-graduate education, research, and other studies, as well as to provide any special
services the graduate may require. The Superintendent: Graduate School is an officer
of the line (SFC) junior to the COMCAD, and will typically have the rank of Captain.

STAR FLEET ACADEMY ANNEX COMMAND

The main facility of the Star Fleet Academy is located on the planet Earth in the city of
San Francisco, but will also have several annexes located throughout the Federation and
on the home worlds of the original five signatories to the Articles of Federation. The
function of these annexes is to provide Star Fleet with a large collection of well-educated
officers from many backgrounds, and to avoid the overloading of students at the central
facility. Thus, these annexes must coordinate their programs with the central facility. As
such, these annexes will be managed by the Star Fleet Academy Annex Command,
which coordinates and standardizes the degree and study programs at each of the
annexes. The high-level organizational structure for this office is shown in Figure 14a12.5.

Within the Academy Annex Command, the Office of Academy Annex Selection
performs the evaluation of sites for the location of an Academy annex. This may involve
the use of existing facilities or the design and construction of a completely new facility. In
the first instance this office will examine, evaluate and select an existing Federation
educational institution to determine its suitability as a part of the Academy system. This
may require the use of the selected school’s existing facilities, or to add a new facility to
the school. Where a completely new annex is required, this office will work with the Star
Fleet Corps of Engineers in the design and construction of the new facility.

The function of the Office of Academy Annex Programs establishes the standards for
the educational programs to be taught at any annex, as well as the criteria for completion
of each program and the subsequent conferring of degrees and awards. In general, those
annexes that have an undergraduate program will employ the same standards and
requirements as the central facility on Earth. However, annexes may have differing
graduate and post-graduate programs, but all annexes must adhere to the basic
requirements as set forth by the Office of Graduate Programs.

The function of the Office of Academy Annex Management is to oversee the


management and operations at the various annexes to ensure that they comply with the
requirements that established the annex. As such, this office will periodically send out
auditors to the various annexes to examine operations and curricula. This is especially true
in the case of civilian contracted institutions. Should a civilian school fail to adhere to the
conditions set forth in the contract, this office has the power and authority to revoke
payment or terminate the contract.

The function of the Office of Academy Adjunct Facilities is to select and manage the
programs of those educational institutions that are contracted to support or supplement
the Academy. As stated above, the Office of Academy Annex Selection will select the
institution, but this office will establish the contractual arrangements with the institution.
This office will also establish the requirements and regulations regarding the programs and
courses taught at these contracted institutions.

In charge of this office is the Commander: Academy Annexes (COMANNEX), the


senior officer in charge of the Star Fleet Academy Annex Command, and of all the
schools and annexes associated with, attached to, or contracted with the main Star Fleet
Academy on Earth. The COMANNEX is an officer of the line (SFC) junior to the
COMCAD, and will typically have the rank of Captain.

Academy established the Star Fleet Academy Facilities Management organization,
which has the sole responsibility of managing and maintaining the entire Academy
complex. As such, each Academy annex or facility will also have this group as part of its
organization. The basic organizational structure for this office will generally be the same
for every Academy annex, which is illustrated in Figure 14a12.6.

As stated, the primary focus of the Facilities Management organization is to manage


and maintain the facility. Part of this responsibility is to supply power and utility services
(i.e. water, etc.) to the facility. Therefore, the Facilities Management section will
manage the power and utilities it receives from the surrounding infrastructure, but in some
instances will manage its own reactor, power generator, water acquisition, storage and
distribution system, and other systems needed to support and sustain the environment of
the facility. The organization responsible for providing such services is the Academy
Engineering and Utilities Management section.

The function of the Academy Building Management section is to maintain the physical
buildings, classrooms, laboratories and research facilities at the Academy, or at any of its
annexes. This means to keep the buildings and structures clean and safe, and to repair
any damage or deterioration of all buildings and structures. As such, the Building
Management section contains primarily repair and maintenance Technicians and a
small group of structural and maintenance engineering officers.

The function of the Academy Grounds Management section is to maintain the property
and to ensure that the grounds on which the school is located presents a neat, clean and
organized appearance. As such, this section maintains its own maintenance team that is
comprised of maintenance Technicians to keep the grounds neat and clean, and to plant
and maintain the trees, shrubs and other forms of flora.

The function of the Academy Support Services section is to manage and operate the
various support systems and equipment such as training aids, computers, communications,
campus video broadcasting, recreational facilities, maintenance of the gymnasium and
sports programs, and of the campus emergency management systems and equipment.

The Star Fleet Academy, as well as all of its annexes, provides transportation services to
and from the physical grounds of the Academy. This is especially true for cadets as they
are prohibited from bringing any private vehicle or conveyance on site. As such, when
cadets are allowed to travel off the site, they will use ground, air, or space transportation
provided by the Transportation Services section of the Star Fleet Academy.

In charge of this office is the Academy Engineer (CADENG), the senior officer in charge
of the Facilities Management organization and of all activities pertaining to the
maintenance of the Academy facility and the provider of facility power and services. The
CADENG is usually be a line officer, or Restricted Line Officer, (SFC) that is junior to
the CADENG, but may also be a Staff Corps officer of the Engineering Corps as well,
and will typically have the rank of Captain. However, the rank of the CADENG at a small
annex may have the rank of Commander or Lieutenant Commander.

1.3 OFFICE OF STAR FLEET INSTRUCTORS


The Office of Star Fleet Instructors (INSTRUCT) manages the pool of instructors for
the Training Command, but does not manage the instructors employed at the Star
Fleet Academy. That function is handled exclusively by the Academy. This office
specifically concentrates on the practical training of Star Fleet personnel and of the
training of its instructors. The organizational structure for this office is shown in Figure
14a13.1.

Most instructors are full-time and are permanently assigned to the Education Division as
instructors. However, there are temporary instructors as well. These are individuals that
have been selected from the fleet to act as instructors for the more specialized fields. This
will be a special assignment – one that will usually not last for more than two years. After
the temporary instructor has completed this tour of duty, the individual may be sent back
to the fleet or to another duty assignment. Regardless, all instructors must be certified
before they teach at a Star Fleet training facility. Instructor certification is performed by
testing the instructor on the material he or she is to teach. The certification test will
measure the technical knowledge of the instructor as well as the administrative aspects of
the training program.

Instructors that have become certified may also be assigned to train other instructors as
well. The normal duty cycle for training instructors is three years and after that period a
replacement will be necessary. Therefore, it is the responsibility of this office to select a
replacement instructor, which may be a new graduate or one selected from another fleet
school.

The Commander: Star Fleet Instructors (COMEDUPER) is the senior officer in charge
of the activities concerning the preparation and certification of Star Fleet instructors and
training personnel. The COMEDUPER is an officer of the line and will typically have the
rank of Commodore.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The Office of Star Fleet Instructors primarily has the responsibility of training and
certifying Star Fleet instructors for the various fleet schools before being assigned to
training duty. The curriculum at these fleet schools will depend upon the need for training
in a particular specialty. As such, instructors will be recruited from the fleet and selected
for their knowledge in a particular field, and trained in the curriculum related to their area
of specialty. The training course they attend will typically be only a week long and will
concentrate on the subtleties of the component or material the instructor is to teach, in
addition to basic teaching methods.

Most importantly, this office is also responsible for maintaining the quality of its instructors
as well. As such, this office will continually review the performance of instructors, which
will usually be evaluated by the students upon completion of the course. The ratings are
then collected by this office and analyzed.

DIVISION ORGANIZATION

The division is divided into five offices for the delegation of its responsibilities as illustrated
in Figure 14a13.1. These subdivisions or offices are:

• Star Fleet Instructor Administration


• Star Fleet Instructor Training
• Star Fleet Instructor Certification

Each of these subdivisions will be described in the subsequent sections below.

STARDATE 7305.29 UFP521-14a13.2 OFFICIAL USE ONLY


STAR FLEET COMMAND MANUAL
VOLUME XIV
STAR FLEET EDUCATION

STAR FLEET INSTRUCTOR ADMINISTRATION

The function of the Star Fleet Instructor Administration is to select and manage the
persons that will be assigned as Star Fleet Instructors. This is a purely administrative
office that works with the Star Fleet Bureau of Service Personnel in allocating
qualified persons for instructor duty at the various Fleet Schools and Training Centers.
In general, the requests for instructors will come from the Training Facility Personnel
Section of the Office of Star Fleet Training Centers. The organizational structure for
this office is shown in Figure 14a13.2.

The function of the Star Fleet Instructor Requirements section is to create and
maintain the requirements associated with the qualification of Star Fleet Instructors.
Such requirements include the individual’s level of education or knowledge of the subject
matter, the rank or grade of the individual, the number of years of experience of the
individual, and the required recommendation letter from the individual’s Commanding
Officer.

The function of the Star Fleet Instructor Selection section is to allocate personnel for
both permanent and temporary duty as Star Fleet Instructors based upon the requisites
established by the Star Fleet Instructor Requirements section, and by the criteria for
particular instructors as submitted by the Training Facility Personnel Section of the
Office of Star Fleet Training Centers. In general, this section maintains a list of eligible
instructors provided to the section by the Star Fleet Bureau of Service Personnel. This
section will normally select instructors from a database of eligible instructors by querying
the database using the request information provided by the Training Facility Personnel
Section. Most of the individuals placed in the database were submitted to the Bureau as
likely candidates for instructor duty. Some were volunteers, some were selected as a
reward for meritorious service, and some may be civilian contractors that may be hired as
substitutes in order to augment the teaching staff. Once selected, this office will submit a
request to the Bureau of Personnel to allocate a specific individual or to have the
Bureau select an appropriate candidate.

The function of the Star Fleet Instructor Assignment section is to assign instructors to
the training commands that made requests for instructors. Basically, this section performs
the paperwork requesting a specific individual for instructor duty to the Star Fleet
Bureau of Personnel. It is the function of the Bureau to cut the orders for an individual
to instructor duty. However, it should be noted that the Bureau of Personnel does not
conscript service personnel for instructor duty. In all cases, the candidate for such duty
has already been selected for such duty, though the opportunity to perform such duty may
not be immediately available at the time of selection. Most are volunteers that requested
such duty, while others are candidates that were presented the opportunity to become an
instructor. However, in all cases, the selected individuals are rated or senior enlisted
persons.

In charge of this office is the Superintendent of Instructors (EDUPERADM), the


senior officer in charge of all Star Fleet and Fleet School instructors. The EDUPERADM
will usually be an officer of the line (SFC), junior to the CTRN, and will typically have the
rank of Captain.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

STAR FLEET INSTRUCTOR TRAINING

The function of the Star Fleet Instructor Training is to manage the various training
programs for Star Fleet Instructors, as well as to operate and manage the various
facilities used to train Instructors. In addition, this office maintains a pool of instructors
that are certified to teach prospective instructors. These instructors may either be
permanent or on temporary assignment. The organizational structure for this office is
shown in Figure 14a13.3.

The function of the Star Fleet Instructor Training Requirements section is to


determine and establish the knowledge requirements for each teaching position of Star
Fleet Instructor. That is, the knowledge and information the individual instructor must
posses in order to teach a specific subject at a Fleet School. In turn, these requirements
will translate into specific courses and areas of study in order to meet the requirements of
instruction in a particular subject.

The basic function of the Star Fleet Instructor Training Management section is to
administer the various instructor training programs available, and to teach the prospective
instructor in the subject matter and in the methods of teaching. Once the subject matter
has been taught the student instructor will be tested in order to become certified as a Star
Fleet Instructor. This certification comes in two forms: written and oral. Regarding the
written tests, this section will administer and proctor the tests that are used to evaluate an
instructor’s knowledge of the subject matter he or she will teach. Oral examinations, on
the other hand, are used to evaluate an instructor’s ability to convey the subject matter.
Such a board will usually be made up of the instructors from this section that actually
teach instructor students. The results of these examination are then sent to the Star Fleet
Instructor Certification section for recording and to award the student his or her
certification.

The function of the Star Fleet Instructor Training Facilities section is to establish the
requirements for those facilities that will be used to teach Star Fleet Instructors. Most
of these facilities will be located at a Star Fleet Training Center, but could also be small
civilian facilities contracted by or retained by Star Fleet for the purpose of teaching
instructors. As such, the function of this section is to allocate and maintain facilities
dedicated for the teaching and certification of Star Fleet Instructors.

In charge of this office is the Instructor Training Officer (EDUPERTRN), the senior
officer in charge of the requirements, methods and facilities pertaining to the education
and training of Star Fleet Instructors. The EDUPERTRN will usually be an officer of the
line (SFC), junior to the CTRN, and will typically have the rank of Captain.

STAR FLEET INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION

The function of the Star Fleet Instructor Certification section is to record the tests and
examinations in order to certify enlisted instructors. As such, this section will have access
to the student’s personnel record in order to update the individual’s professional history as
a certified Star Fleet Instructor, specifically Record Numbers 310-3 and 310-4.

This is a terminal organization and as such, there are no other units or sections within it,
as shown in Figure 14a13.4.

In charge of this office is the Instructor Certification Officer (EDUPERCERT), the


senior officer in charge of certifying instructors for duty at Star Fleet training facilities.
The EDUPERCERT will usually be an officer of the line (SFC), junior to the CTRN, and
will typically have the rank of Commander.

1.4 STAR FLEET BOARD OF EDUCATIONAL


PROFESSIONALISM
In order to ensure a quality education of Star Fleet personnel, the Star Fleet Division
of Education created a board to oversee the quality and professionalism of educators and
instructors at Star Fleet educational facilities by reviewing the cases of professional
misconduct that were adjudicated at the local level. The board cannot be considered a
permanent office, but a part-time assemblage of senior education personnel from any of
the various training facilities, except from the Star Fleet Academy, which has its own
committee to manage the professionalism and ethics of its instructors and students. The
board consists of five officers with the rank of Commander or higher as specified in Star
Fleet Regulation 5860, and will serve on the board for a term of no less than two years
or until removed by the Chief of Star Fleet Education for any reason.

AUTHORITY

The Star Fleet Board of Educational Professionalism has only that authority which
the Chief of Star Fleet Education allows it to have, within the confines of Star Fleet
Regulations and Federation law. The Board's primary task is to ensure that the
teaching staff of the Department performs in an ethical and professional manner and to
investigate professional misconduct by any person, student or instructor, at a Star Fleet
training facility, and if such investigation reveals actual misconduct, to refer the matter to
the Chief of Star Fleet Education for action. However, should such investigation reveal
criminal misconduct, the Board shall refer the matter to the Star Fleet Judge Advocate
General for disposition under the articles of the Star Fleet Manual for Courts-Martial.
As such, this board has limited authority regarding the disposition of cases of ethical or
professional misconduct and only has the power to remove instructors from duty or to
expel students from instruction.

PRESIDENT: BOARD OF EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONALISM

In charge or the Board of Educational Professionalism is the President: Board of


Educational Professionalism, usually an officer from the Division of Education with
the rank of Captain. However, any line command officer may serve as President, the
selection of which will be determined by the Chief of Star Fleet Education. The basic
function of the President is to preside over the Board and to communicate to the
appropriate persons the results of any decision the Board makes. The term of office of the
President is usually two years, and is only a temporary position. The individual who
serves as the President will usually have other duties and only becomes President and
assembles the Board whenever there is an issue within the division.

STAR FLEET COMMAND MANUAL
VOLUME XIV
STAR FLEET EDUCATION

SELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS

The process of selecting the members to the Board of Educational Professionalism, as


well as any ad hoc Board of Inquiry, rests solely with the Chief of Star Fleet
Education (CEDU), and can vary from one CEDU to another. In general, however, the
CEDU will select the head of the Board of Educational Professionalism first before
any of the other members are selected. Once the president of the board has been selected
the other members may either be selected by the CEDU or the CEDU may direct the head
of the board to select his or her own members. The only criterion for selection is that the
members of the board have experience in training, educating or in the management or
command of a training facility. And as stated earlier, once selected the members of the
board will serve a term of two years.

PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

The Board basically oversees any issue pertaining to the professional or ethical conduct of
both the staff as well as the students, except for ethical or professional issues at the Star
Fleet Academy, which is executed by its own board of conduct. In addition, this board
does not convene on a regular basis, but only when the need arises such as when an
ethics complaint has been lodged against a Star Fleet educational professional, a student,
or when a change in the standards of professional ethics has occurred. The Board will
investigate the issue, which may require the services of other professionals that are
independent of the Board. The Board will investigate and evaluate all aspects of
educational professionalism, which may include the lesson plans employed, the tests given,
the grading standards, the decisions made, as well as, the fitness of the person or persons
involved.

AD-HOC BOARDS OF INQUIRY

Ad-hoc Boards of Inquiry are temporary assemblages of Star Fleet education personnel
that will examine and render a judgment regarding a professional or ethical issue as it may
pertain to one’s duty as a Star Fleet Instructor or Educator. These boards are usually
convened at the local training facility. These boards are usually panels consisting of three
staff members of the training facility as selected and assembled by the Training Facility
Commander. The results of such boards will be sent up to the Chief of Star Fleet
Education, as well as the Star Fleet Board of Educational Professionalism, for
review and disposition.

2.0 STAR FLEET EDUCATION DIVISION


ORGANIZATION
In this section the organizational structure of the Star Fleet Division of Education, also
known as Star Fleet Education, will be briefly discussed. The remaining sections of this
chapter will discuss the various commanders of the commands and offices that make up
the Division of Education in more detail. The high-level command structure of Star
Fleet Education is illustrated in Figure 14a20.1. This figure shows all the primary division
heads by their title, designation and rank. At the top level is the Chief of Star Fleet
Education (CEDU), the senior administrative officer of the Education Division and the
Department of the Star Fleet, which was created under ARTICLE 43 of the Star Fleet
Charter. A complete description of the CEDU may be found in Section 2.1 of this manual.

The Division of Education is divided into two administrative commands and one
administrative office that distribute the primary functions to which the division has
responsibility such as: the training and education of all personnel within the department;
management of all educational facilities; and support to all educational professionals and
instructors. Each office or command will be under the direction of a Division Head with
the title of Deputy Chief, the titles of which will depend upon the size and scope of the
organization as stipulated in Star Fleet Regulation 3100. Therefore, the organization
and function of each Division Head within the Division of Education will be described
in detail within the subsequent sections of this chapter. Note that throughout the sections
of this chapter the term “his” or “him” may be used. This is not to indicate gender, but
merely a convenient way to show possession.

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF STAR FLEET EDUCATION

The Office of the Chief of Star Fleet Education was established in accordance with
ARTICLE 43 of the Star Fleet Charter, and is the top most level within the Education
Division for the Department of the Star Fleet. The Office of the Chief of Star Fleet
Education is comprised of the Chief of Star Fleet Education, the Training Chief of
Staff, as specified in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Star Fleet Regulation 3810, and
several administrative assistants and board officers.

STAR FLEET TRAINING CHIEF OF STAFF

The Star Fleet Training Chief of Staff (EDUCS) is a position created within the Office
of the Chief of Star Fleet Education under Star Fleet Regulation 3810 for the
purpose of supervising and coordinating the work of the staff assigned to the CEDU. The
EDUCS is an officer junior to the CEDU, and will typically have a rank of Commodore.
This rank was established following the guidelines set forth in Paragraph 2 of Star Fleet
Regulation 3810 regarding an officer detailed as "Chief Staff Officer."

Although essentially managing the staff for the CEDU, the position of EDUCS has no
command authority in and of itself. The EDUCS basically coordinates the work assigned to
the staff by the CEDU to the members of his or her staff, and to the bureau chiefs within
the division. A complete detailed description of the duties of the EDUCS will be made in
Section 2.2 of this manual.

EDUCATION DIVISION COMMANDERS

The Division of Education is organized into two administrative offices and one
‘Administrative Command’ that handles the major functions of the division. In general,
and as defined in Section 8.0 of Volume I of the Star Fleet Command Manual, a
division is a large organization with a somewhat wide scope, whereas an office is an
organization generally focused on a specific function. As such, the Division of Education
contains only one command that manages the general education and training of the
members of the Star Fleet Service. The heads of the primary Star Fleet divisions are
defined in Paragraph 2 of Star Fleet Regulation 2600.

The titles of the commanders within the Division of Education will vary depending on
the organization they command. They will be titled according to the size and scope of the
organization they command in accordance with Paragraph 3 of Star Fleet Regulation
3100 and Star Fleet Regulation 5770. As such, the title of the individual in command
of the Star Fleet Training [Type] Command will have the title of Deputy Chief, while
the individual in charge of the Star Fleet [Administrative Command] Academy will
have the title of Commandant. Lastly, the smaller Office of Star Fleet Instructors will
have the title of Commander.

EDUCATION BOARD OFFICERS

The Star Fleet Division of Education contains one board for the maintenance of
educational excellence and to ensure that all teachers, professors, and instructors are
knowledgeable in their field of instruction; that they comport themselves in a professional
manner; and that they instruct in a manner suitable to the subject matter they are
teaching. This board is the Star Fleet Board of Educational Professionalism. As such,
the board will normally be comprised of at least three senior officers of the Education
Division, normally with the command ranks of Captain and Commander.

CIVILIAN EDUCATORS AND INSTRUCTORS

The Division of Education also contains civilian professors, teachers and instructors that
are necessary to support the functions and practices of the division. However, although
civilian educators and instructors will always be employed at Star Fleet ground facilities,
they will not function independently. As such, all employed civilian teachers and instructors
will always be under the supervision of a Star Fleet officer.

The CEDU is also responsible for the budgets of all the training commands within the
division, and is responsible to budget for all educational activities and programs as
assigned, except as may be otherwise instructed by the Director. In so doing, the CEDU
is responsible for determining the requirements for the use of Star Fleet education assets
and facilities that may be required to fulfill its mission.

In summary, the Chief of Star Fleet Education is directly responsible to the Director:
Star Fleet Command for the management of all activities relating to the education,
training, qualification, and competence of Star Fleet service members. The authority of
this office is given to the CEDU by the Director: Star Fleet Command, and any of the

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF STAR FLEET EDUCATION

ARTICLE 43 of the Star Fleet Charter established the Office of the Chief of Star Fleet
Education as the central command for all Star Fleet Education activity and personnel,
and is organized under the provisions of Star Fleet Regulation 3810 in order to manage
Star Fleet Education Division activities.

The Office of the Chief of Star Fleet Education also contains the Training Chief of
Staff, whose responsibility it is to supervise and coordinate the work of the staff assigned
to the CEDU. A more detailed description of the duties and responsibilities of the Star
Fleet Training Chief of Staff can be found in Section 2.2 of this volume. In addition, the
Office of the Chief of Star Fleet Education also contains the President: Board of
Educational Professionalism who oversees and adjudicates any issue regarding the
ethics and professionalism of all Star Fleet educators, instructors and students.

Physically, the Office of the Chief of Star Fleet Education is located at Star Base
Central, with the office very close to the Director. Figure 14a21.1 illustrates the
command organization of the Office of the Chief of Star Fleet Education.

TRAINING CHIEF OF STAFF

The Star Fleet Training Chief of Staff (EDUCS) is an appointment created within the
Office of the Chief of Star Fleet Education in accordance with Star Fleet Regulation
3810 for the purpose of supervising and coordinating the work of the staff assigned to the
CEDU. The EDUCS will usually be a line officer (SFC), junior to the CEDU, and will
typically have a rank of Commodore. This rank was established following the guidelines
set forth in Paragraph 2 of Star Fleet Regulation 3810 regarding an officer detailed as
"Chief Staff Officer." The Training Chief of Staff is appointed by the Chief of Star
Fleet Education. It is the privilege of the CEDU to select his or her own Training Chief
of Staff under Star Fleet Regulation 3810. The only requirement to become the
Training Chief of Staff is that the officer selected must be a senior officer of flag grade
and eligible to command. Should the position of Training Chief of Staff become vacant,
the CEDU can choose any eligible flag officer to fill the position.

Although essentially managing the staff of the CEDU, the position of EDUCS has no
command authority in and of itself. The EDUCS basically coordinates the work assigned to
the staff by the CEDU. Figure 14a21.1 illustrates where the EDUCS resides within the
command organization of the Office of the Chief of Star Fleet Education.

SELECTION OF THE CEDU

The Chief of Star Fleet Education is an appointed position, the selection of which is
solely the prerogative of the Director: Star Fleet Command. Generally, the CEDU will
come from the senior flag ranks of the Division of Education and will normally be a line
flag officer. In most cases the Director will either pick the Deputy Chief: Star Fleet
Training Command, or the Commandant of the Star Fleet Academy, but may pick
anyone within the lineal list of Star Fleet Command flag officers.

As stated above, the Director: Star Fleet Command will normally select the candidate
to head the Star Fleet Division of Education. The selected candidate will then be
submitted to the Federation Council for review and approval. Once approved by the
council, the selected candidate will be submitted to the Division of Personnel for
assignment. The Chief of Star Fleet Personnel will then draw-up and sign orders for
the selected candidate. The Director will then make his final signature and the orders will
be issued to the candidate.

The duration of the appointment of CEDU is completely up to the Director: Star Fleet
Command, and there is no time limit associated with this appointment. However, the
Director will evaluate the performance of the CEDU on a yearly basis, which will decide if
a replacement is necessary or desired.

SUCCESSION

In accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 5930 the Training Chief of Staff, and then
the Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Training Command, the Commandant: Star Fleet
Academy, and lastly, the Commander: Star Fleet Instructors will be selected, unless
otherwise directed by the Director: Star Fleet Command, to temporarily perform the
duties of the CEDU during his absence, or disability, or in the event of a temporary
vacancy in that office until the Director: Star Fleet Command appoints a permanent
replacement. However, should the Chief of Star Fleet Education or any other of the
selected office heads within the Division of Education become unable to fulfill the duties
of the CEDU, the Director: Star Fleet Command will select a senior flag officer from
another organization within Star Fleet Command to fill the position. Therefore, there is
no specific qualification required to become Chief of Star Fleet Education.

2.2 STAR FLEET EDUCATION STAFF


The staff of the Division of Education consists of the commanders of the offices related
to Star Fleet education. The Division of Education contains three major subdivisions to
distribute the functions of the division, each of which will be managed by a commander
with an appropriate title as specified in Star Fleet Regulation 3100 and in Star Fleet
Regulation 5770. In general, the subdivisions within the Division of Education are
special-purpose commands and as such, the commanders of these offices will have
differing levels of command and therefore, titles.

The function of each division head will be described in detail within the subsequent
sections of this chapter. Note that throughout the sections of this chapter the term “his” or
“him” may be used. This is not to indicate gender, but merely a convenient way to show
possession.

STAR FLEET TRAINING CHIEF OF STAFF

The Star Fleet Training Chief of Staff (EDUCS) is a management position created
within the Office of the Chief of Star Fleet Education in accordance with Star Fleet
Regulation 3810 for the purpose of supervising and coordinating the work of the staff
assigned to the CEDU. The EDUCS is an officer junior to the CEDU and will typically have
a rank of Commodore. The EDUCS essentially manages the staff directors, but does not
have command authority over them. As such, the EDUCS only coordinates the work
assigned to the staff by the CEDU, which can be illustrated in Figure 14a22.1.

The position of Training Chief of Staff is an appointment made by the Chief of Star
Fleet Education. It is the privilege of the CEDU to select his or her own Chief of Staff
under Star Fleet Regulation 3810. The only requirement to become the Chief of Staff
is that the officer selected must be a senior officer of flag grade and eligible to command.
The individual selected for the position of EDUCS can be any flag officer within Star Fleet
Command, but will normally be recruited from the ranks within the Education Division.
Should the current position of Chief of Staff become vacant for some reason, the CEDU
can choose any eligible senior flag officer to fill the position. The CEDU will evaluate the
performance of the Chief of Staff on an annual basis, and can remove or replace the
individual holding that office at any time.

CIVILIAN ASSISTANTS

The Office of the Chief of Star Fleet Education may employ civilian assistants to aid
the Chief of Star Fleet Education in interacting with civilian educational institutions and
government or civilian agencies relating to educational matters. They are essentially the
liaison between the division and the outside world and will come under the direct authority
of the Star Fleet Education Chief of Staff. At this time, there are no permanently
assigned civilian assistants employed by the Office of the Chief of Star Fleet
Education.

EDUCATION DIVISION COMMANDERS

The Division of Education is organized into one administrative office, two operational
commands, and one semi-permanent board to handle the major functions of the division.
In general, a “Command” is a large organization with a somewhat wide scope, whereas an
Office is more focused on a specific area. The commanders of the major organizations
within the Division of Education will be either flag officers or command officers,
depending on the office, as specified in Star Fleet Regulation 5770, and will be titled in
accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 3100. In order of their precedence, the titles of
the Education Division commanders and staff officers are as follows:

• The Deputy Chief: Star Fleet Training Command


• The Commandant: Star Fleet Academy
• The Commander: Star Fleet Instructors

As stated above, the Division of Education also contains a semi-permanent board to


maintain education quality and ethics. The head of this board is shown below and is titled
in accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 5860:

• President: Board of Educational Professionalism

SELECTION OF EDUCATION DIVISION COMMANDERS

Education division commanders will generally come from the senior ranks of the Division
of Education and will generally be selected by the Chief of Star Fleet Education, with
the approval of the Director: Star Fleet Command and the Chief of Star Fleet
Personnel. The three organizations within the Education Division are somewhat large
and therefore, each will be commanded by a Flag Officer. Generally, these officers will be
selected from the lineal list of flag officers within Star Fleet Command. However, in the
case of the Commandant of the Star Fleet Academy, the officer selected need not be
an officer of the Education Division or Star Fleet Command, but from any operational
command within the Department. As such, a flag officer from Star Ship Command could
be selected to head the Academy as well.

In general, the Chief of Star Fleet Education will select the candidate to command a
subdivision and will submit the name to the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel (CPER). The
CPER will then task the Flag Officer Review Board to review the candidate’s record and
to make their recommendation as to the suitability of the officer for the position, or they
may submit their own candidate to the CEDU for review. The CEDU will then inform the
Division of Personnel, through the Personnel Chief of Staff, of his approved
selection. The Chief of Star Fleet Personnel will draw-up and sign orders for the
selected candidate. The Director: Star Fleet Command will then make his final approval
and the orders will be issued to the candidate.

2.3 STAR FLEET EDUCATORS AND


EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS
According to ARTICLE 56 of the Star Fleet Charter, Star Fleet has a responsibility to
educate and train its personnel in all matters that impact the performance and operation of
the Department of the Star Fleet. As such, this requires trained and certified educators,
instructors and other educational professionals. In this context, an educational professional
will be defined as an officer of the Star Fleet, line or Staff Corps, trained and qualified
to perform instructional duties. In addition, a Star Fleet educational professional will also
include those experienced and certified civilian instructors hired to teach Star Fleet
personnel as well, most of whom were university professors outside of Star Fleet.

Basically, there are three ways to become an educational professional within the Star
Fleet: as a graduate of the Star Fleet Academy with an advanced degree, selected from
among the qualified officers serving out in the fleet, or a civilian instructor hired by the
Division of Education. In any case, the individual must have an advanced degree in a
particular field in order to teach the subject matter assigned to them.

STAR FLEET EDUCATOR DUTY

In general, officers assigned to teaching or instructor duty are typically specialists in a


specific field of study. The majority of these educators will teach courses at the Star Fleet
Academy, most of whom will teach in the areas of science, medicine, engineering,
technology, and the military arts, and most will be graduate students of the Academy
with advanced degrees in their field of expertise. Such duty is typically voluntary and may
either be permanent or temporary. Those fleet officers serving temporary duty as
instructors may serve as instructor for a maximum of five years, unless requested to be
assigned permanent duty.

STAR FLEET SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL EDUCATORS

Generally speaking, Star Fleet officers assigned instructor duty in a scientific or technical
field will usually be experienced officers with an advanced degree. It is a requirement that
instructors in a scientific or technical area have experience working in their field such as
being assigned as a Science or Engineering Officer aboard a Starship on patrol. Such
duty provides the officer with practical experience in their field that can be used while
teaching. As such, a single five-year patrol can be beneficial when conveying to the
student the practical use of the subject being taught to actual functional operations.

All such educators will only be found at the Star Fleet Academy or at one of its annexes.
The ratio of civilian to Star Fleet science instructors will normally be 4:1, while the ratio
of civilian to Star Fleet engineering instructors will be about 3:2. All instructors in the
sciences at the Star Fleet Academy will be employed by the School of Pure and
Applied Science, and instructors in the various fields of engineering will be employed by
the College of Engineering.

STAR FLEET COMMAND MANUAL
VOLUME XIV
STAR FLEET EDUCATION

STAR FLEET MEDICAL AND NURSING EDUCATORS

Star Fleet officers assigned instructor duty in the medical field will also be experienced
Medical Officers or nurses. It is also a requirement that instructors in a field of medicine
have experience working in their specific area of medicine such as being a senior medical
consultant at a Star Fleet hospital, or as a senior Medical Officer aboard a Star Fleet
ship. It is not enough that a Star Fleet medical instructor simply finish medical school and
their residency, but must have practical experience in their field for no less than five years.

All such educators will only be found at the Star Fleet Academy or at one of its annexes.
The ratio of civilian to Star Fleet educators is normally 3:2. However, the ratio of civilian
dental instructors to Star Fleet instructors may be as high as 5:1. This will also be true for
teachers in psychology and psychiatry as well. All instructors in the medical sciences at the
Star Fleet Academy will teach at the Academy College of Medicine and Dentistry.

STAR FLEET LEGAL AND JUDICIAL EDUCATORS

Regarding teachers and instructors in the area of law and justice, Star Fleet will generally
recruit qualified individuals from the Judicial Corps, and usually from the Star Fleet
Division of Justice. These officers are trained in military justice and contract law and as
such, usually become permanent instructors at the Star Fleet Academy. Some may be
Diplomatic Corps temporarily assigned duty as teachers in interplanetary law and
conflict resolution methods, and some may be officers from the Bureau of Finance and
Accounting to train officers in the legal aspects of banking and finance. The permanent
civilian professors at the Academy will normally teach civil law and criminal law methods.

All such educators will only be found at the Star Fleet Academy or at one of its annexes.
The ratio of Star Fleet law teachers to civilian law professors will normally be 3:1. This is
because civilian law professors are basically trained in civil, criminal, and business law,
which has little to do with military justice. All instructors in law at the Star Fleet
Academy will teach at the Academy School of Civil and Military Law.

STAR FLEET DIPLOMATIC EDUCATORS

Regarding diplomatic educators, Star Fleet will generally recruit qualified individuals from
the Diplomatic Corps, usually from the Star Fleet Division of Representatives. That
is, very few teachers of intergalactic affairs and diplomacy are permanent instructors at the
Star Fleet Academy. Most are officers of the Diplomatic Corps temporarily assigned
duty as teachers in diplomatic issues and conflict resolution methods. The permanent
teachers are civilian professors of Interplanetary Relations and political history.

All such educators will only be found at the Star Fleet Academy or at one of its annexes.
The ratio of civilian to Star Fleet educators is normally 2:1 since most of the subjects
relating to interplanetary law and diplomacy will be taught by experienced civilian
personnel from the Federation Department of Foreign Relations. All such instructors
in diplomatic matters at the Star Fleet Academy will teach at the Academy School of
Interplanetary Law and Diplomacy.

STAR FLEET MILITARY SPECIALISTS

Star Fleet educators in the military arts are usually experienced operations officers from
either Star Ship Command, Star Base Command, or the Star Fleet Marine Corps.
Their function is to teach future officers in the areas of combat operations, tactics and
strategies. Many are Flight Instructors, teaching students how to fly and maintain
Shuttlecraft and Attack craft. The Star Fleet Academy has an extensive flight
program to teach young officers how to fly craft as well as the finer points of ship
command and control. Such training is done through simulations and actual flights.

All such educators will generally be found at the Star Fleet Academy, or at one of its
annexes, but may also teach at Fleet Schools as well. In this field of study there will be
few civilian instructors. Any civilian instructor will usually come from Star Fleet
Intelligence or from the Federation intelligence community. All Flight Instructors will
be experienced Star Fleet officers or senior enlisted Technicians. The ratio of Star
Fleet educators to civilian instructors will normally be 7:1. Lastly, all instructors in tactics
and the military arts at the Star Fleet Academy will be employed by the School of
Military Arts and Science.

2.4 STAR FLEET ENLISTED INSTRUCTORS


The range of instructors also includes highly knowledgeable and experienced enlisted
Technicians and Specialists as well. These are individuals that were transferred to
permanent duty as a Star Fleet Instructor, usually to a Fleet School. Their basic
function is to teach officers and enlisted persons on specific topics, usually those that are
technical or practical in nature, all of which to fulfill the requirements of ARTICLE 17 of the
Star Fleet Charter. However, most instructor jobs are limited to Chief Technicians,
Technician First Class and Specialists since they have the most experience and
knowledge in their respective fields. In addition, enlisted personnel may also be requested
or assigned to temporary Instructor duty as well. This is a form of meritorious service
that recognizes an individual’s knowledge and skill in a particular system, equipment or
functionality. Lastly, individuals selected for Instructor Duty will usually attend a four-
week instructor training course in their specialty as well as a two-week leadership course
prior to reporting to duty. This specific training is usually performed at one or more of the
Fleet Schools listed in Table 14a40.1.

AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF INSTRUCTORS

The authority of an enlisted instructor comes directly from Paragraph 6 of Star Fleet
Executive Order 14.0 and from those other authorities and directives as the Chief of
Star Fleet Education has bestowed upon them, or that are permissible under Star Fleet
Regulations. As such, enlisted instructors have the following responsibility and authority:
1. Enlisted instructors shall provide complete and accurate instruction, and shall be
expert and competent in their subject area;
2. Enlisted instructors shall be responsible for all that occurs within their class, and shall
maintain discipline and order within their class. All students shall conduct themselves
as required in accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 8130;
3. Enlisted instructors are responsible for the physical condition of their classroom, and
shall maintain their classroom neat and clean at all times in accordance with Star
Fleet Regulation 8791;
4. Enlisted instructors are responsible for all equipment, supplies, documents, textbooks,
and training aids associated with their class;
5. Enlisted instructors shall treat all students under their charge equally and without bias,
and shall administer and grade tests and examinations fairly and without prejudice or
favoritism.

In general, enlisted instructors will have the same or similar authority as any officer in
charge and thus, shall be responsible, and given such authority as required, in accordance
with Paragraph 6 of Star Fleet Executive Order 14.0.

SELECTION OF ENLISTED INSTRUCTORS

In general, enlisted instructors are selected for duty. Typically, selection will be made from
enlisted persons that are on duty out in the field. As such, enlisted personnel may be
either requested or assigned to Instructor Duty. Star Fleet enlisted instructors are
selected based upon several factors:

a. Demonstrated knowledge of the specific subject matter, piece of equipment, system or


functionality;
b. Documented evidence of experience in a specific field, piece of equipment, system or
operation;
c. Having consistent above average performance reviews (BUPERS 395-6). At least six
performance reviews having average overall review ratings of 15 or higher;
d. The current rate and grade of the prospective instructor. Most will normally be senior
enlisted personnel. Qualified instructors usually have at least five years in their specific
rate or grade; or
e. Received special commendation or distinction prompting the opportunity by higher
authority to offer meritorious instructor duty.

The selection of enlisted instructors will usually be the job of the training facility. In
general, the training facility will make a request to the Office of Star Fleet Instructors
for a specific instructor or set of instructors to teach a course or set of courses at the
facility. This request will be in the form of a set of requirements and certifications which
should be met by the prospective instructor.

ENLISTED INSTRUCTOR DUTY

As stated above, Star Fleet enlisted personnel are either requested or assigned to
Instructor Duty. In some cases, this is a form of meritorious duty that recognizes an
individual’s knowledge and skill in a particular system, equipment or functionality.
However, most instructor jobs will be limited to Chief Technicians, Technician First
Class and Specialists. Individuals selected for such duty will usually attend a four-week
instructor training course in their specialty as well as a two-week leadership course prior to
reporting to duty. After instructor training, the certified instructor will be assigned a billet
at a Star Fleet training facility.

Instructor Duty generally requires the instructor to develop a lesson plan of the subject
matter or will be required to use a stipulated lesson guide. As such, Instructor Duty
requires a significant amount of preparatory work. The instructor must set up his or her
classroom with the appropriate training aids prior to each class. Class segments are usually
an hour in duration, with a 10-minute break between segments. A typical class day at a
ground training facility is normally eight-hours in length - a full standard work day.

Enlisted personnel selected for Instructor Duty are normally assigned such duty for a
period of about two years. After the two-year period, the individual may be returned to his
or her pervious duty station or assigned to a new, different duty station. However, enlisted
persons selected for Instructor Duty may be provided the opportunity to become
permanent instructors as well.

GENERAL COURSES OF INSTRUCTION BY INSTRUCTORS

Courses of instruction given by enlisted instructors are generally those which train enlisted
persons in their technical rating, the tools and equipment they will use, the operation of
specific systems and equipment, in the repair and maintenance of the equipment
associated with their rating, and in the theory and practice of the technical aspects of their
billet duties. As such, the function of this section is to provide a sampling of the major
courses of instruction taught by enlisted instructors. The following table itemizes this

2.5 CIVILIAN EDUCATORS


The Star Fleet Division of Education also employs civilian educators to instruct Star
Fleet personnel as well. However, civilian educators will primarily be employed to teach
cadets and graduate students at the Star Fleet Academy and at its annexes only. Civilian
educators will normally teach those professional subjects as taught at regular Federation
colleges and universities. That is, they will be employed to teach at the Academy’s
College of Engineering, the School of Pure and Applied Science, at the School of
Economics and Finance, at the College of Medicine and Dentistry, the School of
Civil and Military Law, the School of Interplanetary Law and Diplomacy, and in
the school’s Department of Humanities. As such, civilian educators will work alongside
Star Fleet officers in the education and training of Academy cadets.

In general, civilian educators at the Academy do not have any military duties as do their
Star Fleet colleagues. And civilian educators will not be involved in the physical training of
cadets, or of directly disciplining cadets. Such activities will be performed exclusively by
regular Star Fleet officers and enlisted personnel. However, civilian educators do have
complete authority within their classroom and in the subject they teach. As such, they can
expel students from their classroom and can make reports to the Commandant on the
conduct of individual students, if necessary; and may sit as witnesses during disciplinary
hearings of students.

Lastly, Star Fleet civilian educators will also be bound by the same professional standards
as Star Fleet educators and instructors and as such, will be subject to the Star Fleet
Board of Educational Professionalism.

HIRING AND ENGAGING CIVILIAN EDUCATORS

Civilian educators will normally be hired out of Federation academia as their credentials
would have been already established. Rarely will Star Fleet recruit or hire instructors that
have recently graduated from their institution with little or no teaching experience. Star
Fleet prefers educators that have at least five years of experience, and a minimum
education level of Master’s Degree. Doctoral degrees are preferred.

Star Fleet will normally attempt to recruit qualified educators from the various civilian
colleges and universities throughout the Federation. During the vetting process, potential
candidates will have their backgrounds fully checked by the Star Fleet Investigative
Service (see Section 1.7 in Volume XI of the Star Fleet Command Manual,) and by a
board initiated by the Office of Academy Personnel comprised of Academy educators.
The function of the board is to establish the credentials and integrity of the candidate.
Such things as candidate’s papers and publications, degrees and honors conferred, public
comments made, and any disciplinary action against the candidate will be examined.
Publications will be closely scrutinized for any plagiarisms, proper credits

Once hired, civilian educators of the Star Fleet will be considered an integral part of the
Star Fleet educational staff and thus, will be treated the same as any other Star Fleet
educator or instructor.

3.0 STAR FLEET EDUCATION DIVISION


PERSONNEL
The function of this chapter is to present the major elements pertaining to a career as a
service member in the area of instruction and education within the Star Fleet service.
This chapter is divided into five sections that pertain to a specific aspect regarding a career
as a Star Fleet Instructor.

Section 3.1 discusses the basic classification of personnel and will discuss the designation
of the personnel within the Division of Education. In addition, this section also describes
the basic duties of the officers, enlisted and civilian personnel within the Division of
Education.

Section 3.2 deals with the requirements to perform Instructor Duty within the Division
of Education, and with the training required to be fully certified Instructors and
teaching professionals. In addition, this section will describe the requirements for
certification in order to be assigned Instructor Duty.

Section 3.3 presents information regarding the uniforms worn by members of the Star
Fleet Division of Education. Primarily, the working uniforms will be discussed in some
detail, as well as the various badges and sleeve braid worn by members of the Division
of Education, as well as the awards that may be conferred upon members of the division

Section 3.4 deals completely with the special pay that may be available to members of the
Education Division. This will be that pay given to Star Fleet Instructors that is
beyond their Basic Pay.

Section 3.5 deals with the conduct and professionalism of both the instructors that train
Star Fleet personnel, as well as the students who will participate in such training. As
such, this section will discuss the various methods of discipline of students and teachers,
as well as the basic workings of any Board of Inquiry created for the evaluation of
conduct as well as a look at the workings of the Star Fleet Board of Educational
Professionalism.

SOURCES OF EDUCATORS AND INSTRUCTORS

In general, Star Fleet makes a distinction between an educator and an instructor, and
defines them as such: an Educator is a professional person that is permanently assigned
to duty as a teacher or professor, normally at the Star Fleet Academy. An Instructor is
generally a person with expertise in a subject that is temporarily assigned duty at a Fleet
School or other Star Fleet training facility.

In general, the sources of Educators and Instructors will be divided between qualified
civilian professors and instructors, officers of the Star Fleet Service with degrees in
particular subjects, and experienced and certified enlisted persons that are expert in a
specific technical subject. For example, most of the officers that are assigned instructor
duty are Staff Corps officers, such as those Medical Officers assigned to instruct interns
or students at the School of Medicine and Dentistry. There are few line officers that
are assigned instructor duty, but those that are will usually be assigned to instruct for the
School of Military Arts and Science. Enlisted persons assigned instructor duty at a
Fleet School will normally be recruited from the fleet. These will normally be senior
enlisted persons with a rank and grade of T6 and above. As the chart below shows, most
of the instructors will be enlisted specialists teaching at the many Fleet Schools.

3.1 STAR FLEET EDUCATION PERSONNEL


CLASSIFICATION
This section will provide a comparatively detailed description regarding the classification of
personnel within the Star Fleet Division of Education. In general, all persons within
this division will be line officers of Star Fleet Command or enlisted Instructors. The
basic description of these classifications may be found in Chapters 4 and 5 of Volume III of
the Star Fleet Command Manual. However, regardless of the classification, all persons
within the Star Fleet Division of Education will have a SFC designation attached to
their title, except those that are on temporary assignment as an instructor.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION SERVICE DESIGNATION

As stated above, all persons within the Star Fleet Education Division will have a SFC
designation attached to their title. Therefore, and as described in Section 3.1 of Volume III
of the Star Fleet Command Manual, the Service Number for the majority of the
personnel in the Star Fleet Division of Education will have the format as illustrated
below:

FC E SS - NNNN D1 D2 C

Service Branch Code Serial Number Assignment Code

All persons originally assigned to the Star Fleet Education Division have a Service
Branch code of "FC" prefixed to their Service Number, indicating that they are Star Fleet
Command administrative personnel. In addition, all Education Division personnel will
have an Assignment Code (D1) of "A" for “administrative” duty. In most cases, Star Fleet
professional educators and enlisted Instructors will either have a D2 Assignment Code of
"I" for “instructor” duty. Lastly, educators that are Commanding Officers of Star Fleet
educational facilities will have a D2 Assignment Code of “A” and a “C” appended to their
Service Number as illustrated below:
Byron M. Westervleit, RADM, SFC Serial Number FC 238-1164 CAC

However, persons temporarily or permanently assigned to the Division of Education as


instructors that were originally from another branch of the Service will retain their original
Service Number as issued to them by the Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel. In their
case the only thing that will change will be their D2 Assignment Code. Enlisted persons
on temporary assignment as an instructor will retain their D1 code, but their D2 code will
change to “I”. When they return to their original duty station their D2 code will revert back
to the code they had before the assignment.

MANNER OF ADDRESSING EDUCATORS

Basically, within the Star Fleet Service, one is addressed by their title, rank or grade and
the duty they perform. In general, Star Fleet Regulations contains specific rules
governing how officers are addressed or spoken to. Specifically, Star Fleet Regulation
5320 establishes the manner in which officers are addressed, but in general, personnel
within the Division of Education will be addressed as described below:

1. Every officer in the Star Fleet Service must be designated and addressed in official
communications by the title of his or her rank, preceding the name.

2. In oral official communications, officers and enlisted Technicians in the role of


instructor at a Fleet School will be addressed by their rank, except those officers that
have a doctoral degree may be addressed as "Doctor," or “Sir.”

3. Officers in the role of instructor at the Star Fleet Academy having a doctorate may
be addressed as “Doctor” or “Professor;” officers not having a doctoral degree may
be addressed as "Professor" or “Sir,” though they may not be tenured.

4. Civilian instructors that teach at the Star Fleet Academy, regardless if the individual
has a doctoral degree or not, may be addressed as "Professor", though they may not
be tenured.

5. In written, taped or other electronic communications, persons temporarily assigned


instructor duty will be addressed in accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 5320,
which states that the officer will have the name of the corps or branch of service to
which the officer belongs displayed immediately after the officer’s rank, such as:

James T. Kirk, Captain, SSC or


Dr. Leonard McCoy, LCDR, SFMED

6. In written, taped or other electronic communications flag officers that are in command
of primary organizations within the Division of Education may be addressed by their
office title. For example, the Chief of Star Fleet Education may be addressed as
Star Fleet Education in any formal communication, but will usually be addressed as
follows:

Byron M. Westervleit, Rear Admiral, SFC


Chief of Star Fleet Education

When it comes to temporary or acting appointments, an individual holding an acting


appointment is allowed to display the title of his appointment, but when such appointment
is revoked or terminated, the individual must assume or resume the original title of his or
her actual designation, as specified in Star Fleet Regulation 5310.

STAR FLEET COMMAND MANUAL
VOLUME XIV
STAR FLEET EDUCATION

EDUCATION DIVISION OFFICERS

Star Fleet officers within the Division of Education will work in one of two types of
duty billets: 1) as a command or administrative person, or 2) as an instructor or education
professional. Officers in an administrative capacity will generally be line officers or Staff
Corps officers from the Supply Corps that perform financial or materiel functions, and
few may be officers from the Engineering Corps or Medical Officers. As such, Staff
Corps officers within the Division of Education retain the same authorities and
privileges as their counterparts that are in other divisions. And although the above-
mentioned officers are specific to their corps, they will still be considered administrative
officers as they comprise the command or administrative organization of the division.

A Star Fleet instructor or educational professional will have additional authority since, as
a person managing a class, they are officers that are in command and therefore, has
authority under Star Fleet Regulation 5460. As such, an instructor is in charge of his or
her class and has precedence over all persons within his or her class; is responsible for the
conduct and behavior of the persons within his or her class; is responsible for the health
and safety of his or her students while the class is convened and in-session; and may
administer minor discipline in a limited and measured manner. Therefore, an officer of the
Star Fleet, in the role of instructor or teacher, is a grave responsibility since they can
have a direct impact on an individual’s career within the Department of the Star Fleet,
which could also have a major impact on their career as well.

Lastly, most officers within the Star Fleet Division of Education will generally have an
“N” security classification, which means that they can handle information vital to the
defense of the Federation, though they will not normally have access to such
information. The only highly classified information they may possess or may access are
those sensitive materials relating to Star Fleet or Federation military tactics and
strategies that may be taught by instructors in the military arts. Enlisted instructors, on the
other hand, will have a “F” security rating, which means they can only handle
CONFIDENTIAL material, primarily systems documents and manuals.

STAR FLEET ENLISTED EDUCATION DIVISION PERSONNEL

The Star Fleet Division of Education contains many enlisted job positions that are
essentially administrative. As such, their job billets will belong to the Administrative
Rating Group. The majority of the enlisted personnel will be rated Yeomen and Clerks,
with some Specialists identified within the Administrative Group of enlisted specialties.
As such, most will have a grade classification of “T” for Technician; while others will have
a grade classification is designated as “S” for Specialist. The following table illustrates the
job billets and rating symbol for the specialists within the Administrative group.

The bulk of the enlisted personnel within the Star Fleet Division of Education will be
assigned duty at a training facility or at Star Base Central.

STAR FLEET ENLISTED INSTRUCTORS

In most cases, enlisted instructors will come from the fleet. Their function is to teach
enlisted Technicians and officers in a specific technical function or subject. Therefore,
they will retain their specific rating group specialty. For example, Medical Technicians
assigned to teach enlisted and officer medical students in first aid will continue to wear the
medical uniform with all the symbols and accouterments associated with their specialty.
However, there will be a small group of enlisted instructors that are permanent members
of the Education Division. These persons will normally be used to instruct or orient new
students in school procedures and regulations. As such, these enlisted persons will also be
members of the Administrative group.

3.2 STAR FLEET EDUCATION PERSONNEL


REQUIREMENTS AND TRAINING
This section will provide a fairly detailed description regarding the requirements for entry
and professional duty within the Star Fleet Division of Education. In general, Star
Fleet has specific requirements for entry into the Service. These requirements, established
by the Star Fleet Office of Personnel Standards, are explained in the Star Fleet
Service Manual (BUPERSMAN-392), and further described in Section 6.2 of Volume I
and in Sections 8.1, 9.1 and 9.2 of Volume III of the Star Fleet Command Manual. The
following subsections will detail the various requirements for entry, training and education
of teaching professionals and for qualified enlisted persons performing instructor duty.

BASIC EDUCATION OFFICER REQUIREMENTS

This section will describe the process by which an officer becomes an instructor or
educator. In general, officer-instructors will teach only those subjects in which they are
expert in or have a college degree in. As such, the basic requirement for an officer to
perform instructor duty is to have a degree in the subject the officer intends to teach,
preferably an advanced degree in the subject.

As shown in the Section 3.0, about 30% of the officer-instructors are graduates from the
Academy. These graduates were not trained specifically to become instructors, but line or
Staff Corps officers that graduated for a specific career in Star Fleet. Therefore, officer-
instructors will either request to become an instructor or will be requested to become one.
As such, a new officer-instructor need not have any previous experience in teaching, but
will be required to attend classes on teaching and become certified as instructors at one of
the facilities listed in Table 14a32.1. Such instructor training and certification is provided
by the Office of Star Fleet Instructors. In most cases new officer-instructors will be
assigned teaching duty at one of the Fleet Schools listed in Table 14a44.1, in the next
chapter.

As previously stated, the number of billets for Star Fleet educators are extremely limited.
This is based upon the number of training facilities and subjects that must be taught.
Therefore, the number of individuals that will be allowed to become instructors will be
controlled by the Office of Star Fleet Instructors. In addition, and in some cases,
officer-instructors may be required to teach more than one subject, but within the general
areas of their expertise. For example, a Propulsion Engineer performing instructor duty at
a Fleet School that specializes in propulsion may also be required to teach mathematics
or physics at the school as well. Therefore, the officer-instructor will have to be certified in
all the subjects he or she may want to, or be required to, teach.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

BASIC ENLISTED INSTRUCTOR REQUIREMENTS

In general, enlisted persons that enter the service cannot immediately become a Star
Fleet instructor. There are no specific enlisted instructor billets available for enlistees. Only
after specific requirements have been met can an enlisted person serve as an Instructor,
or is assigned to Instructor Duty.

As with officers, the number of enlisted persons that vie for teaching positions will be
limited to the number of available enlisted billets or rather, the number of open positions
at Fleet Schools and other Star Fleet training facilities. Therefore, the number of
applicants that will be allowed to enter Instructor Duty will be severely limited. In
general, most instructor jobs will be limited to Chief Technicians, Technician First
Class and Specialists. Individuals selected for such duty will usually attend a four-week
instructor training course on their specialty as well as a two-week leadership course prior
to reporting to duty

RATING REQUIREMENTS

First requirement to become an enlis1ed instructor is the specific Rating, or occupation


billet, the enlisted crewmember is trained in. In general, there are a controlled number of
EJCs that require training by enlisted instructors – most of which are technical. However,
for some of the administrative EJCs, such a Yeomen and Clerks, enlisted instructors will
be teaching their vocation in the Class A and Fleet Schools.

GRADE REQUIREMENTS

Second, to illustrate the level of experience and expertise in the specific field, the
crewmember must have the rank, or Grade, of Technician 2ND Class (T5), Specialist
3RD Class (S1) or higher.

TIME IN GRADE REQUIREMENTS

Persons seeking to become Instructors must have at least two years of service time
inside their Grade. For example, an enlisted Propulsion Technician 2ND Class will
generally have reached this grade level after about three years of service. Add to it the
two-year in-grade requirement and one can see that in order for that person to become a
full-time Instructor, he or she must have served Star Fleet for at least five years.

MERIT FACTORS

Although not a requirement, any meritorious action performed by the enlisted person will
be highly considered when being reviewed for selection as an Instructor. Such merit
factors will usually place an applicant at the top of the selection list.

In addition, Star Fleet enlisted personnel may also be requested or asked to become an
Instructor. This is a form of meritorious duty that recognizes an individual’s knowledge
and skill in a particular system, equipment or functionality. Lastly, when there is a need for
an enlisted person to teach a highly necessary job billet, the individual may be temporarily
assigned Instructor Duty.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

LOCAL FORCE INSTRUCTORS

Star Fleet personnel may have the opportunity to train with Local Force personnel at a
Local Force training facility. However, all Star Fleet personnel will come under the
command and discipline of the Local Force commander, as specified in Star Fleet
Regulations 5540 and 6220.

BASIC CIVILIAN INSTRUCTOR REQUIREMENTS

As previously mentioned in other sections of this manual the Division of Education also
retains civilian professors, teachers and instructors for the purpose of augmenting the
teaching staff. In most cases, civilian instructors will teach at the Star Fleet Academy as
instructors or professors. Therefore, the employment of civilian teachers at the Academy
will be handled strictly by the Office of Academy Faculty and as such, it will be the Star
Fleet Academy that manages its civilian staff, but in accordance with the regulations set
forth by the Star Fleet Bureau of Civilian Personnel. The Bureau will not be involved
in the hiring process, but will be kept informed on all civilian personnel at the Academy.

Civilian professionals working within the Division of Education account for about thirty
percent of the total staff of instructors and teachers within the Education Division. Most
of the successful entrants had been professors, teachers and instructors in civilian life. The
primary requirement for the employment of civilian instructors to the Division of
Education is that all prospective professionals must be certified by the Star Fleet
Bureau of Civilian Personnel and the Office of Star Fleet Instructors to perform
their teaching duties. Therefore, civilian teaching professionals must have graduated from
a Federation-accredited educational institution in an approved study program and have
passed all the required Federation exams and obtained all the required Federation
certifications.

Regarding non-Federation or alien instructors, Star Fleet may hire such persons as
instructors, especially for teaching those subjects relating to the alien instructor’s culture,
language, or technology. However, alien instructors will not be allowed to teach or handle
classified information or material, as stated in SECMAN-002 - the Star Fleet Security
Manual.

CONVERSION OF CIVILIAN TO STAR FLEET INSTRUCTOR

Civilian teachers that wish to become Star Fleet officer-instructors have the opportunity
to request entrance into the Star Fleet Service. However, such entrants must undergo
the same process as any other entrant into the Service, and must obtain military training
by attending and successfully completing Star Fleet Officer School. Once completed,
the candidate will be commissioned as a Lieutenant in Star Fleet.

CONTINUING TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

The United Federation of Planets, being a large assemblage of many planets, requires
that persons that are in the teaching profession to continuously update their knowledge in
their area of expertise. As such, both enlisted education technicians and officers must
continuously update their knowledge and qualifications. Therefore, officer-instructors and
educational professionals must attend refresher classes at least once every two (2) years.
These classes are given at the various Star Fleet Academy Annexes and Fleet Schools
located throughout the Federation.

Enlisted Instructors must refresh their qualifications by attending refresher or advanced


classes, and take the Proficiency Examinations of their specific rating. The courses and
exams must be taken no more than every three (3) years. The courses and exams are
taken at specific Fleet Schools specializing in logistical and education functions, which
are listed in the subsection entitled STAR FLEET INSTRUCTOR TRAINING CENTERS.

PREREQUISITE QUALIFICATIONS

Before any Officer, Technician or Specialist can be assigned to a Star Fleet instructor
billet, he or she must be qualified to perform the duties within their respective field of
expertise. In the case of officers, their certification comes from their particular degree in
their field, either from the Star Fleet Academy or from an accredited Federation
college or university. Enlisted Education Technicians, on the other hand, must have
successfully completed initial and advanced training in their area of specialization, and
have fulfilled the requirements listed earlier in this section, before they can be considered
for Instructor Duty. This is normally accomplished at one or more of the various Fleet
Schools located throughout the Federation. To be qualified and selected for duty the
enlisted person must complete advanced training in their area of specialization with a
score of 80 percent or higher. This is especially true for those in very specialized and
highly technical fields.

EXAMINATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS

In accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 8311, a record of all training, schooling and
certifications completed by members of the Star Fleet Service must be placed in their
Service Record. This is to ensure that individuals performing instruction or that will
officially teach a subject are qualified to perform such duties. In addition, such records will
used when looking for and assigning instructors in the future.

STAR FLEET ACADEMY INSTRUCTORS

Individuals entering the Star Fleet that wish to become officer-instructors at the
Academy must first complete the five years of initial education at the Star Fleet
Academy and graduate with an average grade of 80 percent or higher. In addition, to
become an instructor in a specific subject area must continue their education and receive a
Masters Degree in the subject in order to begin instructing at the Academy. At this point,
the new instructor will be classified as a Teaching Assistant (TA) and will have the rank
of Lieutenant Junior Grade. This is basically a two-year internship to determine whether
the person is good enough to teach cadets. During this period, the TA must continue his
or her education with the goal of obtaining a doctorate degree in the field he or she is
teaching and be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. It is only at this point that the
officer-instructor may reach the “Professor” level of instructor. It should be noted that
there is no classification of Star Fleet officer-instructors as “Professors.” This classification
is reserved only for civilian instructors.

3.3 STAR FLEET EDUCATION UNIFORMS,


INSIGNIAS AND AWARDS
In this section the Standard Working Uniform worn by personnel within the Star Fleet
Division of Education will be discussed. Regarding dress uniforms, all Service personnel
assigned to the Division of Education shall wear the standard Formal Dress Blue and
the Ceremonial Dress White uniforms as specified in the Star Fleet Uniform
Standard (BUPERSMAN-332 Revision 8.12) when the occasion requires it as per Star
Fleet Regulations or as proscribed by higher authority.

STANDARD STAR FLEET EDUCATION DUTY UNIFORM

The uniform worn by all personnel, enlisted and officers, under the rank of Commander,
working within the Division of Education during normal working hours shall be the
Standard Working Uniform, designated SWM{E|O}{3-9}A for male members and
SWF{E|O}{3-9}A for female members, as indicated in BUPERSMAN-332. The
uniform principally consists of a pair of black trousers (Item 3421) and the Type II tunic
(Item 3413 or 3414 for females) in the color of goldenrod, since educators and
administrators within the division are basically command and administrative officers, as
specified in BUPERSMAN-332. An illustration of the authorized version of the Standard
Working Uniform is shown in Figure 14a33.1. Civilian personnel employed by the Star
Fleet Division of Education for the purpose of augmenting the education staff will not
wear any Star Fleet uniform, except, perhaps, the all-purpose work coverall, but shall
wear appropriate business casual civilian attire.

Star Fleet personnel assigned to instructor duty from other divisions shall continue to
wear the uniform prescribed for their billet. For example, engineering instructors assigned
to duty from the Division of Engineering shall wear their particular uniform, and will
wear all the appropriate symbols and devices that are associated with the division.

When Star Fleet officials and dignitaries are expected, usually a scheduled visit, Star
Fleet education personnel shall wear the Formal Dress Blue uniform. However, for
unscheduled or impromptu visits, education personnel may be required to wear the
Service Dress Uniform, designated SDM{E|O}nG for male personnel and
SDF{E|O}nG for female personnel. The Service Dress Uniform is essentially
composed of a special tunic worn over the pants of the Standard Working Uniform.
The tunic is a Neru jacket (Items 337x for males and 338x for females) in iridescent olive-
green. The opening of the jacket will have thick gold braid for command-level officers
running down the edge of the jacket opening, while regular officers will have thin gold
piping running down the front. A similar jacket is available for enlisted personnel, but
without any piping. Civilian personnel shall not wear any Star Fleet dress uniform, but
shall wear appropriate attire for formal gatherings and official ceremonies. Usually, civilian
employees of Star Fleet will wear their own formal dress attire as appropriate for special
Star Fleet occasions.

Lastly, regarding the uniforms worn by undergraduate students at the Star Fleet
Academy, those uniforms will be described later in Section 5.4 of this manual.

SPECIAL WORK APPAREL

Besides the standard uniforms listed above, divisional instructors and educators may also
wear the all-purpose SWGG0A working coverall. The coverall is a one-piece jumpsuit in
goldenrod with wide, short sleeves, and short legs to accommodate the size of most
wearers. They have a wide front opening so that the wearer can easily slip the coverall on
and over any other uniform or clothing. The opening contains a snap in front to allow the
opening to be closed. Around the waist of the coverall is elastic, which allows a tighter fit
around the midsection. A cloth belt is also available to tighten the midsection further, or a
black Naugahyde utility belt can also be worn. The coverall can also be worn with or
without the standard black crew neck undershirt, as illustrated in Figure 14a33.2. As
shown, the standard coverall is gender and rank-neutral and can be worn by males and
females alike.

The jumpsuit will normally be worn by instructors and educators in a laboratory or test
area environment. However, special instructors assigned to duty and of a particular Staff
Corps may wear the overall in the color of their division. For example: technical
instructors from the Engineering Corps may wear the red coverall; medical instructors of
a medical corps may wear the medical blue coverall; science instructors of the Science
Corps may wear the science blude coverall, etc., as illustrated in Figure 14a33.2.

CIVILIAN CLOTHING

Members of the Star Fleet Division of Education are permitted to have and wear
civilian clothing whenever they are not on duty, but they shall never wear civilian clothing
during normal working hours or while on duty. In addition, when embarked as passengers
travelling on official business, all education personnel are required to wear the uniform of
the day as specified by the vessel's Commanding Officer. When travelling commercially,
personnel from the Division of Education may wear civilian clothes underway regardless
whether they are travelling on official business or for any other reason. And when off-duty
or on Liberty, Division of Education personnel may wear civilian clothing.

CIVILIAN EMPLOYEE ATTIRE

Civilian employees of the Department of the Star Fleet will generally wear appropriate
professional civilian attire, unless specified by the command the individual is working for.
As such, civilian employees are not required to wear any Star Fleet attire while working,
but may opt to wear the Star Fleet coverall to protect their clothing.

MEDALS GIVEN TO STAR FLEET EDUCATORS

As with many of the more significant awards and medals within the Star Fleet there is a
special medal given specifically to Star Fleet education personnel. Basically, there are two
medals that one in the Division of Education may be awarded based upon their service
within the division. Both of which are shown in the illustration below and explained in
subsequent paragraphs. In general, medals are the highest awards given to a member of
the Star Fleet Service.

The Star Fleet Distinguished Service medal is awarded to by the Director: Star Fleet
Command for superior service while in a position of significant responsibility. Typically
given to division directors upon completion of their assignment, but may also be awarded
to instructors, educators and professors who distinguish themselves in their field of study
and instruction. As with most medals, the Star Fleet Distinguished Service medal will
only be displayed on the Formal and Ceremonial Dress uniforms, and its associated
ribbon displayed on the Service Dress Uniform.

The Star Fleet Meritorious Service medal is given to anyone in recognition for non-
combat meritorious achievement or service. For example, providing assistance during a
planetary crisis or disaster, or in providing a significant new method of teaching. This
medal also comes with a ribbon, as shown in the illustration, which is displayed on the
Service Dress Uniform, while the medal is worn on the Formal and Ceremonial Dress
uniforms.

3.4 STAR FLEET INSTRUCTOR PAY


In general, Star Fleet persons assigned to Instructor Duty do not normally receive any
special pay above their normal Basic Pay as a result of such duty. In many cases,
teaching a subject within an individual’s specialty is normally part of his or her duty or Pay
Grade. Therefore, they will not receive any special pay for performing what is a part of
their job billet. However, there are circumstances where additional pay is given as a result
of being assigned Instructor Duty. This usually happens when a selected individual is
assigned Instructor Duty away from his or her command. The following are the forms of
additional pay given to persons performing instructional duties away from home:

A. Travel Pay: The pay given to an individual that is assigned temporary Instructor
Duty at a base or station away from the individual's home port. This is to compensate
them for being away from their families and their homes for extended durations.
Travel Pay is essentially the cost of commercial travel plus per diem. The amount of
Travel Pay depends upon the location of the temporary duty, its distance from home,
and the basic cost of living at the duty location. Just for taking on such temporary duty
earns the person an extra f400 Credits per month while the individual is away from
home.
B. Space Pay: In general, Space Pay is given to all persons assigned permanent duty
aboard a Star Fleet ship. As such, any crewmember that is assigned to, or that is
performing Instructor Duty aboard a Star Fleet vessel will not receive any special
pay as a result of this added duty.
C. Hazardous Duty Pay: The pay given to enlisted Instructors that must perform
their duties in extremely dangerous situations, or where there is a likely possibility of
injury or death. Such duty may include instruction in damage control, fire-fighting,
explosives handling of high-energy fuel and waste disposal. Therefore, such
Hazardous Duty Pay may range anywhere from f100-500 Credits, depending upon
the nature of the duty.

CIVILIAN INSTRUCTOR PAY

Civilian instructors teaching at Star Fleet training facilities are considered professionals
and therefore, have a Pay Grade of P1. As such, newly hired civilian teachers that have
little or no previous experience as an instructor will have a Salary Grade of 32 as listed in
Table 3a33.1 of Volume III of the Star Fleet Command Manual.

3.5 EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONALISM


This section deals exclusively with ethics and professionalism in educating and learning
within the Star Fleet Service by Star Fleet Instructors. In general, Star Fleet places
a huge premium on ethics and professionalism within all sectors of the service. As such, all
persons teaching or performing instruction to Star Fleet personnel, regardless whether
they are officers or enlisted technician, and all those assigned to Instructor Duty, shall
comply with the rules and regulations set down in the Star Fleet Manual of
Educational Professionalism (EDUADM-110).

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONALISM

There are five basic principles of educational professionalism. Each addresses a value that
arises in interactions between the instructor and the student. The principles address the
issue of fairness, honesty, and respect for both the instructor and the student.

Attitude: Professionalism involves self-control, including the attitude one shows to


others in the workplace. Complaining less and taking responsibility for one’s
actions instead of blaming others for mistakes creates a more positive
environment for students and colleagues.
Impartiality: Professional educators treat each student the same, without bias, prejudice
or favoritism. All tests and examinations are administered and graded
equally and fairly. In addition, professional educators teach without letting
their personal lives affect the quality of their instruction and preparation in
the classroom, which may affect impartiality.
Preparation: A key trait that shows professionalism is how an educator prepares for
instruction. This includes mastering the instructional content presented to
students, planning the most effective resources, activities and assessments
to teach course material and understanding the main concepts related to a
particular area of knowledge. Teachers who show the most professionalism
prepare to instruct students before they enter the classroom by planning
the scope and sequence of course content.
Punctuality: Be on time for the start of school, meetings or conferences. Model
punctuality to students to encourage their sense of professional values.
Setting a schedule for class time can also help maintain an effective pace
for lesson content and encourage students to follow and acknowledge time
limits.
Collaboration: Opening instructional planning to new ideas and input from colleagues in
order to improve students' experiences in the classroom. Working with
other educators to meet common goals; showing commitment to a
successful learning community. Understand how to effectively share and
accept new ideas, delegate and complete parts of a project and receive
critique are all ways teachers can work together to strengthen the
educational process.
Improvement: Seek professional development concepts and courses to find ways to
improve one’s educational practice. Explore new ideas from leaders in the
subject area and those addressing general concepts in education. In
addition, one must adapt to new methods of teaching, subject matter and
circumstances.

STAR FLEET COMMAND MANUAL
VOLUME XIV
STAR FLEET EDUCATION

INSTRUCTOR PROFESSIONALISM

The Basic Principles of Educational Professionalism listed above are the essential
guidelines that all instructors should observe. However, besides these principles, which
apply to all instructors, Star Fleet is a military organization and as such, there are
additional rules that all Star Fleet Instructors must obey. Such rules are set down in
Star Fleet Regulations. For instance, Star Fleet Instructors should not only show
deference to students who are their senior in rank and position, as required under Star
Fleet Regulation 8131, but to those their junior as well. This indicates respect to those
that wish to learn. However, in addition, Star Fleet Instructors shall require that all
students under their authority show in themselves a good example of subordination and
good military conduct as specified in Star Fleet Regulation 8120, as well.

STUDENT PROFESSIONALISM

Students, specifically, Star Fleet Service members that are students, are required to act in
a professional and military manner at all times as required by Star Fleet Regulation
8130, and in accordance with the Star Fleet Code of Conduct (BUPERSMAN-336).
This includes within both the formal and informal venues of learning, such as in civilian
classrooms in addition to Star Fleet training venues.

BOARD OF EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONALISM

As part of its commitment to educational professionalism, Star Fleet created the Star
Fleet Board of Educational Professionalism to oversee the quality of teaching and
learning within the Star Fleet, and to ensure compliance with the standards and principles
of professionalism throughout the Service. A more detailed description of the Star Fleet
Board of Educational Professionalism can be found in Section 1.4 of this manual.

4.0 STAR FLEET EDUCATION AND


TRAINING
As stated earlier in this volume, the Division of Education is responsible for the training
and educating the personnel that have already entered the Star Fleet Service, or that
are employed by the Department of the Star Fleet. Although it will be the responsibility
of the Star Fleet Division of Personnel to train and indoctrinate new recruits and
civilian workers under Star Fleet Executive Order 6.2, the Star Fleet Division of
Education will train and educate Service and civilian personnel as they are pursuing their
career in Star Fleet. As such, the function of this chapter is to present the various forms
of education and training available to members of the Star Fleet Service.

FORMS OF TRAINING

There are several methods or patterns in which an individual receives training within the
Star Fleet: (1) classwork, (2) drill, (3) self-study, and (4) actual doing. These are not
necessarily independent methods, but are usually a combination of several or all of them.
For example, classwork training may also require some self-study, etc. The following will
describe these various methods of training a person within the Star Fleet will receive.

FORMAL CLASSROOM

The majority of the training an individual will receive during his or her career in the Star
Fleet will be classroom or formal training. Such formal training ranges from degree course
at the Star Fleet Academy to specialized equipment training at a Fleet School. Formal
classroom training begins in Basic Training as described in Section 4.1 of this Chapter.
Training topics such as basic space science, propulsion, communications, and Star Fleet
military basics all will be performed in a classroom setting.

After Basic Training, Service members, designated to enter a specific technical discipline
will attend special schools relating to their technical field of endeavor. This training is a
mixture of formal classroom and hands-on technical experience in a laboratory setting.
These particular schools are called Class A schools and are used to initially train persons
in their designated Rate. For more advanced training in their specific field, there are the
Class B schools. And finally, to keep their skills sharpened and to become experts in the
equipment they operate, enlisted persons may attend any number of the Fleet Schools
that are available to them.

For officers entering the service through the Star Fleet Academy, the training and
education is intense. Personnel graduating from the Academy as a line officer generally
receive a degree in engineering, but may receive degrees in science, law and medicine as
well. Persons receiving these other degrees will usually enter the Staff Corps of their
specialty. Where additional or refresher training is required, officers may also go back to
the Academy for such education, or attend the many specialized schools located at Star
Fleet training centers.

STAR FLEET COMMAND MANUAL
VOLUME XIV
STAR FLEET EDUCATION

IN-SERVICE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

In-service training is essentially “training by doing” or On-the-Job Training (OJT). This


will be discussed later in Section 4.5 of this manual.

SELF-STUDY

Star Fleet Training Courses are the main self-study aids in the Star Fleet’s training
program. These are courses that can be taken on-line at every station on every base and
ship. A full library of such courses is contained in the Library-Computer banks at every
command within the Star Fleet. These courses are either documents that one reads and
answers questions at the end of a particular section, or visual exercises.

In addition to study courses, Library-Computers also contain the technical manuals


associated with the equipment that is installed or used at the command. As such, these
manuals can also be used for self-study where there may not be an opportunity for a
crewmember to go to a Fleet School on that specific piece of equipment.

TRAINING CERTIFICATION

In accordance with Star Fleet Regulation 8311, a record of all training, schooling and
certifications completed by members of the Star Fleet Service must be placed in their
Service Record. This is to ensure that individuals assigned to commands are qualified to
perform their jobs and a record of such exists to provide evidence of such certifications.

In order to ensure that local training is proper and complete, a formal certification program
must be established. For each watch or station qualification there must be a record
indicating that the individual is certified to stand the watch alone. This certification record
usually includes the Practical Factors (PRACFACS) that must be completed as well as
an examination of the extent of knowledge of the trainee. As such, commands will issue
Qualification Manuals that contain the requirements that must be met for a watch
station or billet, and various examination and sign-off sheets indicating the successful
completion of a watch station, PRACFAC, and written or verbal examination regarding the
systems and equipment associated with the watch qualification. At the end of the training
program, the manual is given the individual’s Division Officer for signature indicating
that the individual is qualified to stand the watch. The Qualification Manual, which is an
electronic clipboard the trainee maintains, is then submitted to the Training Officer to be
downloaded into the ship’s Training Database and the individual’s Service Record.

TRAINING FACILITIES

Star Fleet has many training facilities located throughout the Federation. Many of these
facilities are Fleet Schools used to keep technical persons up to date or to train them on
specific equipment associated with their billet. Most of the Fleet Schools are located at
various Star Fleet Headquarters and District Bases. Usually, an entire section of the
base is reserved and dedicated to training. In these areas are buildings and facilities for
recruit, fleet and other forms of training. Some of the bases may also house an annex or
extension of the Star Fleet Academy.

For the smaller Star Fleet Stations almost every station will set aside an area designated
for training purposes. These areas become classrooms where formal training is carried out.
Where practical instruction is required, for example in learning about a piece of equipment,
training will be performed using the production equipment used at the station. Star Fleet
Outposts, on the other hand, are too small for formal training areas and therefore,
training normally will be performed in the station’s recreation room. The following table
lists most of the large training centers. The table [1] does not include the Star Fleet
Academy, but only lists the Academy annexes.

FLEET SCHOOLS

The basic function of Fleet Schools is to provide highly detailed and technical knowledge
on specific job functions or technical billets. Fleet Schools are essentially technical
training institutions within the Star Fleet that primarily focus on a particular subject or
piece of equipment and as such, are not general knowledge institutions. In addition, Fleet
Schools cannot take the place of the schools used for initial rate training, though the
facility itself may reside at the same physical location. They are used to sharpen the
specialized knowledge of rated technical personnel and to keep the Star Fleet technical
community up to date on the latest methodologies and techniques. They also provide both
elementary and advanced training in technical subjects as well.

Fleet Schools are highly focused training centers on particular systems and equipment,
which requires the use of technical manuals and books on theory. They are the source for
practical training on the equipment and systems aboard Star Fleet ships and bases where
such practical training cannot be performed and the curriculum of study range from basic
to advanced courses in the technical areas employed by Star Fleet. In a classroom
setting, students will execute hands-on training on the specific machinery associated with
their job functions. Where it is impractical to have full-scale operational machinery at the
training site, simulators will be used.

Most of the training provided by Fleet Schools is designed for enlisted personnel, but
there are also advanced training in specialties for Staff Corps officers as well. For
example, there are schools and classes for Star Fleet surgeons regarding practical
training on new surgical equipment and techniques. Table 14a40.1 on the previous pages
will list some of the technical schools and courses of study currently available to enlisted
personnel.

STANDARD TRAINING REQUEST FORMS

In order for Star Fleet Service personnel to obtain specialized training or to apply to the
Star Fleet Academy for professional refresher or specialized training courses, they must
complete submit a request. There are three types of request forms for training:

• 385-1: Star Fleet Academy Request Form


• 385-2: Fleet School Request Form
• 385-3: Request for Specialized Training Outside Star Fleet

Attached is the standard training request form (BUPERS 385-2) used to apply for training
at one of the many Fleet Schools located throughout the Federation. All persons,
officers and enlisted Technicians, must complete this form. However, it must be stated
that submitting a request for additional training is no guarantee that the person will
receive such training in the timeframe the individual requested. But the individual will
receive due consideration for the training he or she requests. In most cases the training
will directly relate to the individual’s job function. As such, there is usually a very good
chance that the individual will attend the training courses requested. In general, Star
Fleet officers are basically required to encourage their subordinates to expand their
knowledge and to enhance their technical expertise by attending advanced training
courses. Commanding Officers are required, under Star Fleet Regulation 4620 to
make such training available to his or her subordinates.

The form is divided into three sections. The first or top section contains job-related
information on the individual requesting Fleet School training. The second or middle
section contains the list of the specific Fleet School the individual is requesting. However,
the selection of a training facility is not a guarantee that the individual will actually attend
training at the selected facility. Factors such as the current location of the individual, the
current tactical situation and other factors will determine the actual facility the individual
will attend. The third or bottom section is for approvals.

Lastly, the font used to complete the request must follow the documentation requirements
specified in Star Fleet standard BUSTAND-0013. The font used to complete the form is
designated as OCR A Extended as illustrated in Table 1a75.5 of Volume I of the Star Fleet
Command Manual.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

4.1 STAR FLEET BASIC TRAINING


Basic training as we will define it here, means the initial training and education provided to
members of the Star Fleet Service before they go out into the fleet. As such, there are
three types of “Basic Training:” Recruit Training, Initial Technical or Specialty
Training, and Functional Training. Each of these types will be discussed in their
appropriate sections of this manual. This section will concentrate on Recruit Training;
Section 4.4 will investigate Initial Specialty Training, and Section 4.5 will discuss
Functional Training.

RECRUIT TRAINING

Recruit or Basic Training is the initial indoctrination and instruction given to new Star
Fleet Service personnel. It is usually common to all recruits including officers being
selected on the basis of competency shown during recruit training, but will be required for
all the enlisted ranks. Officer trainees undergo a more detailed program, which may either
come before or follow the common recruit training program, or that may take place either
at the Star Fleet Academy, at an officer training school, or in special classes at a civilian
college or university.

The process of transforming civilians into Star Fleet Service personnel is essentially a
form of conditioning in which inductees are encouraged to partially submerge their
individuality for the good of their unit. This conditioning is essential for military function
because combat and space travel requires people to endure stress and perform actions
which are simply not present in normal life. The nature and extent of this conditioning
varies between the regular Star Fleet and the Star Fleet Marine Corps. Where the
regular Star Fleet recruit is trained in life out in space and in confined vessels, Marine
Corps personnel concentrate their training in ground combat and weaponry.

The system employed by Star Fleet is to attempt to change the individual to suit the
organization, whilst retaining key elements of the recruit's personality. To accomplish this
new recruits are assembled into companies of sixty persons. The company will perform all
functions together. They will eat together, train together and will be disciplined together.
Unit cohesion and esprit de corps will be developed through competition between these
company units. At the head of the company will be the Company Commander, a senior
enlisted person with a grade of T6 or higher. It is the task of the Company Commander
to guide and mold the recruits into Star Fleet crewmembers.

Standard uniforms are issued and recruits typically have their hair cut to meet grooming
standards and make their appearance as uniform as possible. The haircut is one method
intended to increase unit cohesion. The uniforms are issued at this stage primarily to
obtain a good fit of the uniform clothing. The measurements taken during this phase will
be entered into the data strip of the individual’s Star Fleet Personal Identification
Card, which is issued at this time as well.

Recruit training regularly includes physical fitness, and instruction in Star Fleet courtesy,
tradition, history, and uniform wear and care. Beyond this the recruit gets a taste of what
it is like to be in confined spaces and will experience life out in space during Fleet Week
when recruits will be assigned to a Star Fleet ship to get them acquainted with life
aboard a military spaceship.

TECHNIQUES IN RECRUIT TRAINING

The primary technique in training recruits is to re-socialize them into military life.
Resocialization is a sociological concept dealing with the process of mentally and
emotionally "re-training" a person so that he or she can operate in an environment other
than that which he or she is accustomed to. Resocialization into a total institution involves
a complete change of personality. Key examples include the process of resocializing new
recruits into the military so that they can operate as members of a cohesive unit, and the
reverse process, in which those who have become accustomed to such roles return to
society after military discharge. Therefore, a significant part of recruit training is
psychological. The reasoning seems to be that if a recruit cannot be relied upon to obey
orders and follow instructions in routine matters—be they folding one's clothing, standing
to attention, paying proper attention to hygiene—it is unlikely that he or she will be reliable
in a combat or other stressful situation, where there may be a strong urge to disobey
orders or flee. The recruit who cannot work as part of a team (the unit) and comply with
the routine tasks of basic training, therefore, is more likely to place him or herself, his or
her comrades, and the mission in jeopardy.

Marine Corps recruits are typically instructed in "drilling": to stand, march, and respond
to orders in an unquestioning manner. Historically, drills are derived from old Earth tactics
in which soldiers in a fire line performed precise and coordinated movements. Although
these particular tactics are now obsolete for the most part, drilling performs a
psychological function by inculcating the response to commands and reprogramming the
recruit to act unhesitatingly in the face of real combat or dangerous situations. Drill can
also serve a role in leadership training as well. Combat situations include not only
commands to engage and put one's life in danger, but also commands to disengage when
military necessity so demands. This conditioning, which ideally results in instant response
to commands, is essential for military function, because without it, a military unit would
likely disintegrate under the stress of combat and degenerate into a mere armed mob.

Recruits are usually subjected to rigorous physical training, both to prepare for the
demands of combat and to weed out the less able or insufficiently motivated. This also
builds morale and provides a sense of accomplishment for the remaining recruits who have
met the physical requirements. All Star Fleet recruits are always trained in basic
marksmanship with individually-assigned weapons, field maintenance of weapons, hand-
to-hand combat, physical fitness training, first aid, and basic survival techniques. Star
Fleet training also focuses on space survival training, physical fitness, and skills such as
shipboard firefighting, basic engineering, and communications. In summary, Star Fleet
training will always include physical fitness training, military and classroom instruction, as
well as field training in basic marksmanship, first aid, and protective equipment usage.

In general, Star Fleet recruit training is essentially heuristic in nature. Heuristic is an


adjective for experience-based techniques that help in problem solving, learning and
discovery. A heuristic method is particularly used to rapidly come to a solution that is
hoped to be close to the best possible answer, or 'optimal solution'. Heuristics are “rules of
thumb”, educated guesses, intuitive judgments or simply common sense. This method is
used during Battle Stations Week where recruits will be subjected to a great deal of
stress under simulated combat conditions.

RECRUIT TRAINING FACILTIIES

Star Fleet currently operates ten Recruit Training Centers located throughout the
Federation. The following table lists the location of these centers and their primary
training focus.

Starbase 7 Regular enlisted recruit, basic and advanced technical training
Starbase 8 Regular enlisted recruit and specialty school training
Teegarden Garrison Marine Corps recruit and high-energy artillery training
Xi Bootis Garrison Marine Corps recruit and advanced combat training

Training lasts approximately thirteen weeks (although some recruits will spend as many as
nine weeks in training due to the somewhat complicated processing cycle). Days are
counted by a system that lists the week and day that they are on, for example 7-3 for
week 7 day 3. The first approximate week is counted P-1, P-2, etc. which denotes that it is
a processing day and does not count as part of their twelve-week training period. During
Recruit Training recruits will be instructed on military drill, basic astronautics, basic
shipboard damage control, firefighting, familiarization with the T1 Hand Phaser and Phaser
Rifle; pass the confidence chamber (tear gas filled chamber), PT, and the basic essentials
on Star Fleet life. Recruits will also attend many classes throughout their training period
on subjects such as the Star Fleet Code of Conduct, Star Fleet Code of Military
Justice, recognition of spacecraft and vessels, and much more.

In order for recruits to pass Recruit Training, they will be physically and mentally tested
on a five-day exercise called Battle Stations which is made up of twelve different
scenarios consisting of firefighting, first aid knowledge, survival in space, mass casualties,
bomb detection and many other skills that they have been learning in the past ten weeks.

After completion of Recruit Training, newly graduated crew members are sent either to
various Technical Schools located across the Federation, where they begin training to
receive their Ratings (jobs) or to apprenticeship training, where they then enter the fleet
without a designation. For officers, professional training will be described in Section 4.2 of
this manual, and specialty training of enlisted persons will be described in Section 4.4 in
this manual.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

RECRUIT TRAINING PROGRAM

The recruit training program is a combination of classroom, drill and practical training. The
training is usually thirteen weeks long with breaks in the fifth, ninth and twelfth weeks.
The basic program will be described in the paragraphs below.

CLASSROOM TRAINING

Classroom training within the recruit program consists of lectures and media displays of
the basic materials concerned with military discipline, Star Fleet facts, customs and
ceremonies. Recruits learn such basics as: Star Fleet history, organization, customs,
traditions, regulations, Code of Conduct, terminology, responsibilities, benefits, military
courtesy, uniform recognition, local and hostile force recognition and Star Fleet
equipment function and operation. In addition, there is training in Star Fleet ship and
station basics, basic ship propulsion and engineering, basic space science, fleet weaponry,
damage control and firefighting, transporter theory and basic fleet communications. There
are no books involved, but simply the lectures and media presentations of the material.

PRACTICAL TRAINING

Practical training involves a combination of classroom and hands-on operation and


demonstration of the equipment presented. The hands-on aspect of this training will be
performed on actual pieces of equipment so that the recruit will get a first-hand look and
understanding of the equipment and its operation. Such hands-on training will include:
small arms handling and firing, basic first aid, and communicator training. The training and
operations on the equipment is performed in training units called PRACFACs. PRACFACs
or Practical Factors are individual operations the recruit must master in order to be
considered trained on a specific piece of equipment. A recruit cannot advance in the recruit
program without successfully completing all PRACFACs.

DRILLS

Drills are essentially tests or experiences the recruit must complete as part of the program.
Such drills will include general military discipline, physical training and conditioning, and
ground combat training. Drills also involve other forms of examinations used to determine
the recruit’s suitability for Star Fleet service such as space isolations tests, zero-gravity
tests, crew confinement tests, basic survival and transporter experience.

The Recruit Training Schedule, shown in Table 14a41.2, provides a summary agenda
of the training events for each work day. Weekend events are not included in this
schedule. For the first two weeks, recruits are not allowed to leave the grounds. In the
fifth week recruits will be assigned specific duties called Service Week. During the ninth
week, or Fleet Week, recruits will be sent out to the fleet to experience life on board a
Star Fleet ship or station. Finally, recruits will experience a final examination called
Battle Stations, where recruits will experience space combat in a Starship simulator[2].
Recruits must successfully complete this exercise in order to complete recruit training. The
program for Marine Corps troopers is somewhat different. Table 14a41.3 illustrates the
Marine Corps training schedule. On both schedules the red days indicate tests that must
be passed in order to continue.

4.2 PROFESSIONAL CAREER TRAINING


In this section the education provided for individuals seeking a career in the Star Fleet
Service by Star Fleet educational institutions will be discussed. In general, such career
training applies specifically to those persons seeking a professional position in one of the
Staff Corps, as described in Volume III of the Star Fleet Command Manual. Staff
Corps officers are generally specialists in their field and are usually individuals that wish to
remain in their field of expertise. They would rather be involved in their specialty than
become a generalist or supervise personnel, which is what line officers generally become.
All such professional training will be performed at the Star Fleet Academy or at one of
its annexes. Therefore, the function of this section is to describe the education, training
and requirements to become a Staff Corps officer within the Star Fleet Service. The
following subsections will describe these requirements based upon the specific Staff
Corps the student wishes to pursue.

Entrance into a Staff Corps will normally be determined during the second and third
years at the Academy when a cadet has decided on his or her course of study. In most
cases those who complete their studies and graduate from the Academy will be
commissioned as an Ensign and will enter a short internship period. This internship period
is outside the time spent out in the fleet during the student’s midshipmen period. After the
internship period has ended, and the officer has demonstrated competence in their field,
they will be promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade, except those officers in the Medical
and Dental Corps who have served an internship at a Star Fleet medical facility. They
would usually receive a commission as a Lieutenant.

As stated in Section 4.5 of Volume III of the Star Fleet Command Manual, Staff Corps
Officers are defined as commissioned officers that generally perform non-military duties
and therefore, are restricted to duty only within their specific profession. As such, they are
not “Officers of the Line” and cannot command Star Fleet ships or shore installations.
However, they may command certain installations or facilities associated with their
profession. For example, a qualified officer of the Medical Corps may command a Star
Fleet Hospital or medical facility.

CORE CURRICULUM

All professional students at the Academy, seeking a career in a Staff Corps position,
must attend the classes specified by their specific school. For the first two years, or four
semesters, students are required to take and pass the Core Curriculum, which is the
basic courses of study of mathematics, science, and humanities, as well as military and
physical training. However, the level of such courses will depend upon the nature of the
degree being pursued. For example, the level of mathematics required for an engineering
or science student will be more intense than for a student pursuing a career in justice or
diplomacy. And medical students will be required to take more courses in the biological
sciences, whereas engineering students will be required to take courses in the physical
sciences.

GENERAL MILITARY TRAINING FOR PROFESSIONALS

Star Fleet is a military organization and thus, all service members shall undergo General
Military Training (GMT). This includes both officers and enlisted persons, but shall not
apply to civilian employees. As such, both line and Staff Corps officers shall undergo
basic GMT.

Basic GMT generally involves physical training and military discipline, that is training in
taking and giving orders, etc. Physical Training, otherwise known as “PT”, not only
involves the exercises designed for strength and endurance, but also self-defense and
weapons handling[3]. Therefore, PT is an essential part of the curriculum at the Star Fleet
Academy and at the Star Fleet Officer School. At the Academy, all physical and
military training will be performed by, and under the supervision of, instructors at the
School of Military Arts and Science.

Individuals entering the Service that were professionals in civilian life receive GMT through
the required program undertaken at the Star Fleet Officer School. The Star Fleet
Officer School is an intense program of study in Star Fleet, the military arts, command
leadership, and physical training. The program takes twelve weeks to complete, at which
time the officer candidate becomes a commissioned officer (line or Staff Corps) in the
Star Fleet Service.

Beyond GMT there is operational training for line officers that wish to command a Star
Fleet unit someday. The following paragraph will discuss this form of military training.

OPERATIONS AND MILITARY ARTS TRAINING

In general, all line officers will be trained in Star Fleet operations and in the military arts.
However, Staff Corps officers are not required to be trained in the military arts such as
combat strategies and tactics, etc., as tacitly required by Star Fleet Regulation 5120
because they are not combat officers.

Operations and Military Arts Training (OMAT) is basically training in Star Fleet
tactics and strategies, training in weaponry, flight operations, alien and enemy vessel and
equipment identification. This particular form of training, OMAT, is provided throughout
the career of line officers. Line officers will attend classes at the School of Military Arts
and Science throughout their career in order to keep up with the latest in galactic military
and political strategies, as well as Star Fleet strategies and tactics, and pilot re-
certification.

GENERAL LINE OFFICER TRAINING

Students at the Academy that will graduate as a line officer will generally be educated as
engineers, usually as a general engineer. A General Engineer is one that is exposed to
all forms of engineering without specializing in a specific form of engineering. As such, a
General Engineer will take courses in mechanical, nuclear, electrical, environmental,
computer, and structural engineering. , the basic outline of undergraduate course study for
line officers at the Academy is shown in Table 14a42.7.

SYSTEM AND TECHNICAL TRAINING

System and technical training will basically be given to all line officers, as well as Staff
Corps officers of the Engineering and Constructions Corps. This is because, as stated
before, line officers are basically technical persons and therefore, must be educated in the
technical aspects of a Star Fleet command.

The requirements for Engineering Officer training are outlined in Section 3.2 of Volume
XIII of the Star Fleet Command Manual. The table below lists the various technical
billets available to technical officers in the Star Fleet. As for becoming Engineering
Officers, the basic outline of undergraduate course study at the Academy is shown in
Table 14a42.8. Table 14a42.8 provides a list of the basic courses all engineering students
must take. However, to fulfill the requirements for a specific engineering degree and to
fulfill the requirements for the billets shown in the table below, the student must take
specific Core Courses associated with the degree. This also applies to those seeking a
degree in construction and civil engineering for the Construction Corps and to work in
the Star Fleet Corps of Engineers. The undergraduate course requirements for
construction engineering are outlined in Table 14a42.9.

SCIENTIFIC TRAINING

All prospective officers, whether line or Staff Corps, at the Star Fleet Academy are
expected to receive a certain amount of scientific training, even though they are not going
to be officers in the Science Corps. This is because Star Fleet is a space-faring military
organization that requires officers and personnel to be familiar with scientific principles.
The following table lists the various billets available for Science Officers in the Science
Corps.

The requirements for Science Officer training are outlined in Section 3.2 of Volume XII of
the Star Fleet Command Manual. To become a certified Science Officer, the basic

LEGAL, JUSTICE AND LAW-ENFORCEMENT TRAINING

Legal, Judicial and Law-enforcement education of students at the Academy is basically


divided into two categories: those that enforce the law, and those that administer the law.
Students at the Academy that wish to become Security Officers will usually become line
officers and will be assigned duty within the Star Fleet Division of Security. They will
be the officers that enforce the laws of the Federation out in space. Conversely, Star
Fleet Lawyers and Judge Advocates are Staff Corps officers of the Judicial Corps.

The requirements for Legal Officer or Judge Advocate training are outlined in Section
3.2 of Volume VIII of the Star Fleet Command Manual. The basic outline of course
study at the School of Civil and Military Law for lawyers is shown in Table 14a42.13,
while the basic course outline to become a Security Officer is provided in Table

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

4.3 COMMAND TRAINING


This section will describe the requirements and training necessary in order for a Star
Fleet officer to become a Commanding Officer of a major unit of the Operating
Forces or Shore Establishment such as a Starship or Star Fleet Station. Officers
that will command small units are not required to attend Commanding Officer School,
but may do so if circumstances allow. In addition, civilian commanders of ships within the
Star Fleet Transportation Command are also not required to attend Commanding
Officer School, but must attend Star Fleet Pilot training as well as hold a Masters
License from the Star Fleet Bureau of Federation Spacecraft (BUSHIPS). The
primary focus of interest of civilian commanders will be the proper navigation and handling
of Star Fleet ships. And since most civilian-run ships of the Star Fleet Transportation
Command are non-combatants and do not have ship-mounted weapon systems, civilian
commanders do not need combat training but will attend training related to avoiding
conflict or evading hostile vessels.

Commanding Officer School is primarily for line officers who are ready for command
duty. However, Staff Corps officers and LDOs ready to take command of a major Staff
Corps unit will also attend Commanding Officer School, but the training will be limited
to what is required by Commanding Officers in the performance of their duties. Staff
Corps officers will rarely be trained in combat tactics.

COMMANDING OFFICER SCHOOL

Commanding Officer School is an extension of the Star Fleet Academy that focuses
on training prospective Star Fleet Commanding Officers, or providing advanced or
refresher training to existing Commanding Officers in tactics and strategies. The table
below lists the location of the various Commanding Officer Schools.

Table 14a43.1

SFHQ - Andor 053-MARK-328 Initial Commanding Officer training
SFHQ - Tellar 041-MARK-076 Advanced Commanding Officer training
Starbase 6 162-MARK-327 Commanding Officer tactical refresher training

In general, Commanding Officer School is an eight-week intense course in the roles


and responsibilities of command. The training includes courses in Federation and military
law; a detailed examination of Star Fleet Regulations, especially those regulations
directly applicable to Commanding Officers; a course in the adjudication of minor
offenses by civilians in deep space, court-martial procedures, conducting and presiding
over investigations, and convening boards of inquiry. In addition, prospective
Commanding Officers will receive combat training in order to sharpen up their skills in
basic strategy and tactics. Candidates will train in a combat simulator appropriate to their
likely command assignment[4].

STAR FLEET COMMAND MANUAL
VOLUME XIV
STAR FLEET EDUCATION

PRE-REQUISITE TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION

In order to attend Commanding Officer School, the candidate must have received a
recommendation from his or her own Commanding Officer or senior Commander. The
candidate must have also served as an Executive Officer to a major command such as a
ship, base or station for at least one year, or is currently a Commanding Officer of a
minor operating unit for the last six months. Line officers who are serving as Executive
Officer for a small command must be further assigned as an Executive Officer to a
larger command in order to qualify as a candidate for Commanding Officer School.
However, waivers can be granted by the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel, and approved
by the Director: Star Fleet Command for special cases.

The minimum rank allowed is Lieutenant Commander. This is because the minimum
rank for command of a major unit, such as aboard a Star Fleet ship, is Commander. In
addition, and in most cases, a line officer with a rank of Lieutenant Commander will
usually be in charge of a command unit and will already have some command experience.

STAFF CORPS COMMAND TRAINING

Star Fleet contains many commands or organizations that will be commanded by a Staff
Corps officer. Such commands are related to a specific Staff Corps activity such judicial
or medical. As such, they will be commanded or managed by an officer of that corps as
specified in Star Fleet Regulation 5760, which is further amplified in Star Fleet
Regulations 5780, 5790, 5791, and 5792. Since, in most cases, Star Fleet Staff
Corps officers are generally trained only in their particular specialty and not specifically
trained in personnel management or facility administration, Staff Corps officers that are
assigned to command positions within their specialty must be trained in the principles of
command and administration. Therefore, there will be schools and courses set aside to
train current and future Staff Corps officers to command a facility or organization relating
to their specialty. This will involve courses taught by instructors from the Commanding
Officer School, or by attending the Commanding Officer School. However, such Staff
Corps command candidates will not be required to attend the full eight-week course, but
only those classes that involve the command and management of personnel.

4.4 ENLISTED SPECIALTY TRAINING


Enlisted Technicians are highly training and skilled individuals in a particular Star Fleet
job classification. Technicians serve a dual role as both technical experts and as
supervisors of other enlisted technicians and crewmembers. As such, Technicians and
Specialists will undergo intense training in their selected occupation, and as a result of
their training, they will acquire the “Rating” associated with their specialty. This will be
discussed later in the section in the subsection entitled TECHNICAL RATING GROUPS. That
is, each trained Technician or Specialist will be long to a specific Rating Group. There
is no such thing as an "Undesignated Technician.”

A Technical Rating is the general term used to define a job classification or occupation
within the Star Fleet Service, which are associated only with enlisted Technicians and
Specialists. A rating requires specialized training, experience, knowledge, skills and
aptitude. Each rating is designated by a specialty mark, a symbol indicating the specialty of
the individual as shown within the tables of Technical Rating Groups presented in the
subsection TECHNICAL RATING GROUPS. These specialty marks will only be displayed on
the dress uniforms of Technicians and Specialists.

In general, every trained Technician and Specialist has both a Rate (rank) and Rating
(vocation); together, a Technician's full title will be a combination of the two. Thus, an
enlisted person having a Rate of Technician Third Class who has the rating of Fire
Control Technician is called a Fire Control Technician Third Class. The term
Technician is, then, only used in abstract, in the general sense, when referring to a group
of enlisted Technicians of different Ratings, or when the Technician's Rating is not
known.

Therefore, the function of this section is to present the training that is needed to become a
certified and rated Technician or Specialist, and the schools and training facilities from
whence enlisted personnel can obtain their Rating.

INITIAL RATE TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

Personnel entering a Star Fleet technical school to become rated must meet the minimum
requirements for entry into the specialty he or she is pursuing. In general, it is desired that
the individual pursuing a technical Rate has had previous experience in civilian life before
entering the Service, and has had a certain amount of formal training in the technical field
he or she is pursuing. However, if the individual has had no previous experience prior to
entry, he or she must score very high on the Occupational Suitability exams in order to
be considered for a specific technical field.

Personnel with previous experience in a technical field before they entered the Service
must do very well on Technical Proficiency exams. Technical Proficiency Exams are
tests given to recruits who have indicated a desire to go into a specific field or who have
had previous experience in a technical field in civilian life. Such tests are used to determine
the level of technical expertise the individual may possess and will be used to determine
the rate and grade of the individual and their duty assignment when they leave recruit
training. These exams will also show if the individual will need extra or specialized training
in order to meet the requirements of the desired billet.

Initial Rate training begins upon successful completion of Star Fleet Basic Training (see
Section 4.1 in this manual.) The crewman will enter a Class-A school that specializes in
the particular field or career the crewmember is pursuing. A list of the various schools is
shown in Table 14a44.1. These schools are normally located at Star Fleet Headquarters
and at ground Starbases. In most cases, a crewman who scored high on the Technical
Proficiency exams and who has completed Basic Training will normally advance to the
rank of Crewman 1ST Class or grade T3. Typically, only enlisted persons with a grade of
T2 or T3 may enter a Class-A school. Otherwise, a non-rated person may have to “strike”
through On-the-Job Training (OJT) at his or her duty station in order to get into a
Class-A school. See Section 4.5 for details.

Once an enlisted student completes the desired Rating program in Class-A school, and
successfully passes the qualification exams, the individual will be promoted to Grade T4
and will become a Technician 3RD Class. If the individual entered “A” school direct from
Basic Training, he or she will receive their assignment to a permanent duty station. If the
person originally had undergone OJT for entry in an “A” school, that individual will most
likely return to his or her original duty station.

ADVANCED RATE TRAINING

Enlisted Technicians may increase their knowledge of their Rating or continue to drill-
down into a particular specialty or to become a certified Specialist, then the crewmember
may request to continue their education at a Class-B and/or a Class-C school. In some
cases, a Technician that had just completed Class-A school may be allowed to continue
to a Class-B school for further instruction. Once the person completed “B” school, he or
she may be promoted to Technician 2ND Class with a grade of T5. However, in most
cases, a new graduate from a Class-A school will have to wait at least six months before
applying to a Class-B school. Lastly, Class-C schools provide the most intense study and
require Technicians to work in their Rating for at least two years before they can go to
a Class-C school. Usually, Class-C schools are for Technicians with a grade of T6 or
higher. In general, “C” schools are normally for technical Specialists.

FLEET SCHOOLS

The basic function of Fleet Schools is to provide highly detailed and technical knowledge
on specific job functions or technical billets. Fleet Schools are essentially technical
training institutions within the Star Fleet that primarily focus on a particular subject or
piece of equipment and as such, are not general knowledge institutions. In addition, Fleet
Schools cannot take the place of the schools used for initial rate training, though the
facility itself may reside at the same physical location. They are used to sharpen the
specialized knowledge of rated technical personnel and to keep the Star Fleet technical
community up to date on the latest methodologies and techniques. They also provide both
elementary and advanced training in technical subjects as well.

Fleet Schools are highly focused training centers on particular systems and equipment,
which requires the use of technical manuals and books on theory. They are the source for
practical training on the equipment and systems aboard Star Fleet ships and bases where
such practical training cannot be performed and the curriculum of study range from basic
to advanced courses in the technical areas employed by Star Fleet. In a classroom
setting, students will execute hands-on training on the specific machinery associated with
their job functions. Where it is impractical to have full-scale operational machinery at the
training site, simulators will be used.

Most of the training provided by Fleet Schools is designed for enlisted personnel, but
there is also advanced training in specialties for Staff Corps officers as well. For example,
there are schools and classes for Star Fleet surgeons regarding practical training on new
surgical equipment and techniques. The tables on the following pages will list some of the
technical schools and courses of study currently available to enlisted personnel. In
addition, the location of these schools can be found in Table 14a44.1 on the next page.

Star Fleet has many training facilities located throughout the Federation. Many of these
facilities are Fleet Schools used to keep technical persons up to date or to train them on
specific equipment associated with their billet. Most of the Fleet Schools are located at
various Star Fleet Headquarters and District Bases. Usually, an entire section of the
base is reserved and dedicated to training. In these areas are buildings and facilities for
recruit, fleet and other forms of training. Some of the bases may also house an annex or
extension of the Star Fleet Academy.

For the smaller Star Fleet Stations almost every station will set aside an area designated
for training purposes. These areas become classrooms where formal training is carried out.
Where practical instruction is required, for example in learning about a piece of equipment,
training will be performed using the production equipment used at the station. Star Fleet
Outposts, on the other hand, are too small for formal training areas and therefore,
training normally will be performed in the station’s recreation room. The following table on
the next page lists most of the large training centers. However, the table does not include
any training at the Star Fleet Academy or at any of its annexes.

TECHNICAL RATING GROUPS

Technical Rating Groups are the basic categories of occupations within the Star Fleet.
Ratings are grouped into the generalized functions to which they are related and may also
be associated with a specific division or branch of service within the Department of the
Star Fleet. For example, a Propulsion Technician within Star Ship Command will be
a member of the Engineering and Technical group, the group that encompasses all
engineering and technical functions within the Star Fleet. The Technical Rating Groups
are divided into the basic functions of Star Fleet and as such, represent the primary
divisions within the Department of the Star Fleet. The following table lists the six
Technical Rating Groups of occupations available to Star Fleet Service personnel.

4.5 FUNCTIONAL TRAINING


Functional Training can be described as learning the job functions of the billet that one
occupies. That is, learning the various tasks and processes associated with the job. Such
training comes in several forms: 1) Formal Classroom, 2) On-the-job, and 3) Self-study as
shown in the table below, and is one of the many duties an individual in the Service is
obligated to fulfill and is expected to accomplish. Each of these methods will be described
in the subsequent paragraphs.

Table 14a45.1
FUNCTIONAL TRAINING METHODS
Subject Area Type Methods Location
• Formal Classroom • Star Fleet Academy

• Self-study • Fleet School
• Formal Classroom • Class A, B and Fleet School
Technical Rate F • On-The-Job Training • Watch Station
• Self-study • Job Billet
• On-The-Job Training • Watch Station
Watch Qualification I
• Watch Qualification Program • Job Billet

Formal Classroom Training, as the name suggests, is training at a Star Fleet facility in
a formal setting; a formal setting being in a classroom at a school with certified instructors.
Typically, the location will be a Fleet School or Training Command, but it can also be
refresher or advanced education at the Star Fleet Academy as well. Formal training
programs usually have full-time instructors certified to teach in the subject area. These can
either be permanent instructors assigned by the Office of Star Fleet Instructors from
the Education Division, or senior enlisted personnel temporarily assigned instructor duty
that are experts in their field.

Formal classroom training can also be performed within certain command units. Larger
command units such as Star Fleet bases, stations and ships will have areas designated as
classrooms for formal training. However, these classrooms are basically used to train
crewmembers on the policies, procedures, regulations, systems and equipment aboard the
command, and not generally used for any basic training in a specific technical field or
Rating.

On-the-job Training, or OJT, is the process of learning by doing, while being productive
at the same time. This form of training usually involves a mentor who is experienced in the
particular function. This method is typically utilized for nonrated persons who wish to
“strike” towards a Rate, and for individuals qualifying to stand a particular watch or Duty
Station.

Self-study, as the name suggests, is the method by which an individual teaches him or
herself in a subject area. This method requires discipline and patience on the part of the
learner. Star Fleet Training Courses are the main self-study aids in the Star Fleet’s
training program. These are courses that can be taken on-line at every station or ship. A
full library of such courses is contained in the Library-Computer banks[5] at every
command within the Star Fleet.

ORGANIZATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM

Each command is required to establish a training program as specified in Star Fleet


Regulation 4620, which states, in part, that Commanding Officers: “Endeavor to
increase the specialized and general professional knowledge of the personnel under his
command by the frequent conduct of drills, classes and instructions …” Therefore, each
command must establish a training and qualification program. Commanding Officers
must set aside command facilities and materials dedicated towards training. As part of this
requirement, each command will have someone who will be assigned the role of Training
Officer. The role of Training Officer can either be a full-time position or as an adjunct to
one’s normal duties.

TRAINING OFFICER DUTIES

In general, the duty of the command Training Officer is to establish and maintain the
command’s training programs; schedule training classes and events, provide or create
training materials, ensure that training equipment and supplies are readily available, and
maintain the list of qualifications. Specifically, the function of an organization’s Training
Officer is to:

1. Provide the necessary training,


2. Provide facilities to accomplish the training,
3. Provide materials and training aids,
4. Schedule the training,
5. Maintain training records.

The Training Officer typically reports directly to the command’s Executive Officer, but
may also be a Department Head of a large organization such as the commander of a
training command located at one of the district Star Fleet Headquarters and therefore,
will report directly to the base Commanding Officer.

Personnel assigned to duty as a Training Officer will usually take a course in the training
program management. As with other specialized training, this will be performed at a Fleet
School.

APPLICATIONS OF ON-THE-JOB TRAINING

As earlier stated, On-The-Job Training or OJT is the process of learning by doing while
being productive at the same time. Most training an individual in the Service will
experience will be OJT. Every watchstation at every command requires that trainees learn
the job functions at the station by performing the required tasks under the supervision of a
qualified watchstander. Even experienced watchstanders are continuously being trained
when performing the routine operations required of the station.

OJT is also the method used for unit command training as well. For example, officers
designated as “Command Officers in Training” will work alongside the Officer of the
Conn aboard a ship to obtain experience in ship handling and command functions while
under supervision of the CON, or with the Command Duty Officer of a base or station
in order to understand the duties of command as required under Paragraphs c and d of
Star Fleet Regulation 4620. This is normally a prerequisite towards acceptance to the
Star Fleet Commanding Officer School.

OJT is also accomplished through frequent casualty drills. For instance, casualty drills
allow watchstanders to perform special evolutions that may be infrequent or that are rarely
performed. Such training will provide valuable experience so that in the event of a rare or
special emergency situation, the watchstander would know how to perform the evolution.

OJT is also useful in developing and testing procedures employed at watch stations. Many
of the procedures were developed in controlled test conditions at Star Fleet engineering
facilities. Such procedures may be inadequate when dealing with unforeseen or unusual
conditions. In such situations OJT will usually resolve any deficiencies in such procedures.
This is especially true in the case where new equipment is installed in existing structures or
systems. Procedures may not even exist in the case of new or modified equipment and
therefore, individuals standing the watch will have to create the operating procedures
while on the job.

IN-SERVICE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

In-service training is essentially “training by doing” or On-the-Job Training (OJT). This


is normally performed by persons pursuing a specific watch qualification. Before any
person can be qualified to stand a particular watch, he or she must have hands-on
experience with the equipment and procedures executed at the station. This can only be
performed by having the trainee stand the watch under the supervision of a qualified
watchstander. The supervisor will direct the trainee to perform the necessary evolutions in
order to gain knowledge and experience in the functional aspects of the watch.

PRELUDE TO A TECHNICAL SPECIALTY

For non-rated enlisted persons that are “striking”, OJT is necessary in order to pursue a
technical rating. Many of the Fleet Schools that have basic Initial Specialty Training
programs might not accept an individual into a particular program without OJT in that
field. Such fields include, but not limited to: propulsion and technical engineering, medicine
and healthcare, science, and certain command operations. The purpose of this is to ensure
the individual will be able to perform the work within the specified field. Should the
individual fail Initial Specialty Training, he or she may be prohibited from entering the
specialty and may be forced to accept a lower-level job billet.

DRILLS AND PRACTICAL EXERCISES

Drills are repeated practical exercises. They are usually designed to gain knowledge and
experience on functionality that is not normally executed or infrequently performed, and
test the individual’s knowledge of special and seldom-used processes or equipment. For
example, exercising the crew on the procedures required when going to General
Quarters or Battle Stations, or to handle general emergencies such as fire and collision.
Drills will be performed at each command as required under Star Fleet Regulations
4620 and 4650. There are several types of drills, depending on the object of the training.
The following table lists some of the types of drills that may be employed.

Table 14a45.2

• Used to test emergency procedures
• Used to train engineering staff
Engineering Casualty Drills
• Used to practice brining up and shutting down power systems
• Performed during the normal course of operation
• To perform unusual functions or operations, or to test rarely used procedures
and equipment
Operational Drills • Periodically used to calibrate equipment and instruments
• Drills include operational emergencies and the use of secondary systems
• Test the knowledge of watchstanders concerning the equipment at their
location

FUNCTIONAL TRAINING RECORDS

As stated in Section 4.0, a record of all training and certifications completed by members
of the Star Fleet Service must be placed in their Service Record. Therefore, any
Functional Training that has been completed by the service member must be recorded
into the person’s Service Record by the command’s Training Officer. Specifically,
Record Number 310-4 will be updated at each occurrence of the completion of any
mandatory or optional training certification.

4.6 STAR FLEET TRAINING DOCUMENTS


In general, the education and training of personnel requires many forms of documents and
records. For instance, the education of personnel in any subject matter will require books,
tapes, computer files, and other visual or audio files and devices. Therefore, training and
education is essentially a documentation-intensive enterprise. In addition, any activity will
usually produce official papers. Official Papers are defined as reports, notes, letters,
correspondences, instructions, procedures, directives, orders, guides and other forms of
written or electronic communications. As such, all documents and official papers pertaining
to education and training must conform to Star Fleet Command standards, specifically
BUSTAND-0013 (Star Fleet Documents.) Therefore, this section will describe the
handling of training documentation.

ADMINISTRATIVE MANUALS AND INSTRUCTIONS

Manuals are defined as documents containing the procedures, standards and references
required to perform a specific function. Each Star Fleet division has their own specific set
of manuals regarding the operation and administration of the division. As such, the Star
Fleet Division of Education will have its own set of administrative and technical
manuals and instructions.

In accordance with BUSTAND-0013, Star Fleet Division of Education documents will


have a designation of “EDU” as stated in Table 1a75.3 in Volume I of the Star Fleet
Command Manual. For example, an administrative directive that will be sent to all
training personnel will be labelled as EDUINST-nnnn (where nnnn is the directive’s
sequence number) in the upper left-hand corner of the document. All Division of
Education manuals and procedures will have a cover with the emblem of the
Department of the Star Fleet in the center and the manual number printed in the
upper right-hand corner of each page of the document. Administrative procedures will be
labelled EDUPROC, all divisional operations manuals will be labelled EDUOPS, and all
administrative manuals will be labelled EDUADM.

HANDLING OF TECHNICAL AND OPERATING MANUALS,


PROCEDURES AND DOCUMENTS USED IN TRAINING

Most technical documents and operating procedures used in training come from their
respective Star Fleet divisions and therefore, are essentially the property of those
divisions. As specified in Star Fleet Regulation 8361, Star Fleet training facilities, as
well as the Star Fleet Academy, must seek permission from these divisions to use such
manuals and documents. In addition, the regulation also states that such documents must
be handled in a manner specified by the originating organization. Some special documents
may be loaned to instructors for the purpose of instruction, but shall be return upon
completion of the course.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION DIVISION PERSONNEL RECORDS

Every person within the Department of the Star Fleet has a personal file, which
constitutes a complete history of the individual while attached to the Service from the day
he or she enters the Service until their obligation to the Service or Star Fleet’s obligation
to them has ended. This record is known as the individual’s Personnel Record or
Service Record in the case of Service personnel. This record is continuously updated for
any change in status, pay grade or assignment and it applies to anyone receiving pay from
the Department including Reserve and Retired personnel.

The actual Service Record file is part of a huge database maintained by the Star Fleet
Office of Personnel Records. The physical location of this database is within the records
computers maintained by the Star Fleet Bureau of Records at Star Base Central, with
backup copies located at each of the five Star Fleet Headquarters located throughout
the Treaty Zone. As part of this database a section of it contains the complete training
record of a Service member. Typically, this field within the database contains a link to
another database that contains all the training information for any and all past and present
Service members, retirees, and civilian employees of the Department of the Star Fleet.

PERSONAL TRAINING RECORDS

As stated above, the complete training record of an individual is contained in a separate


database, but which is linked to the central personal file with an address of the link. The
specific record in the central file has a record number of 310-4, which is called the
Professional History Link (a.k.a. the Training Record Link.) The training database
contains all the training information of the individual, what courses were taken, when
these courses were taken, the grades received and any certification that goes with the
training program. The contents of this database will be described in the following section
entitled PERSONNEL TRAINING RECORD CONTENTS.

In general, Star Fleet personnel training records are official documents and as such, fall
within the provisions of the standards regarding official record access and modification.
Specifically, Star Fleet Regulation 8360 states: “No person, without proper authority,
shall withdraw official records or correspondence from files or memory storage, or destroy
them, or withhold them from those persons authorized to have access to them .” As such,
only authorized persons may have access to any personnel record.

All individuals within the Department of the Star Fleet have a right to see and question
any material that has been entered into their Training Record. Service personnel are
guaranteed this right under Star Fleet Regulation 8340. Personnel are encouraged to
review their record at least once a year. If the individual feels that certain information is
missing or incorrect, he or she can make a request to their Executive Officer or
manager. Typically, any changes made to an individual’s Training Record can only be
performed by the command’s Training Officer.

PERSONNEL TRAINING RECORD CONTENTS

As stated above an individual’s Training Record is a database file containing all training
data on the individual. The training is the same regardless of whether individual is an
officer, enlisted, or a civilian employee. All share the same types of information. In
addition, the record may also contain links to other training databases as well.

TRAINING RECORD RETENTION

According to standards, Star Fleet Personnel Records are maintained throughout the
length of time an individual is on active duty, and beyond. This includes Retired as well as
personnel in Reserve status. In the situation where an individual enters the Reserve
Force, the Training Record, along with the Service Record, of the individual will be
transferred to the Star Fleet Bureau of Reserve Personnel who will manage the
service members’ Service Record from that point onward.

TRAINING LOGS

In addition to maintaining the personal training records of each and every person in the
command, the Training Officer may opt to create or maintain a record of the activities
performed by him and every member of his or her staff, as well as any administrative
function or training procedure executed by the training organization. This is not mandatory
and is not a required by Star Fleet Regulation 4530.

Manuals are defined as documents containing the procedures, standards and references
required to perform a specific function. Each Star Fleet division has their own specific set
of manuals regarding the operation and administration of the division. As such, the Star
Fleet Division of Education will have its own set of manuals and instructions, which
must conform to the requirements for documents as set down in BUSTAND-0013.

CLASSIFIED TRAINING DOCUMENTS

Training documents that deal with classified information, as established by the Star Fleet
Office of Information Security, must be handled in accordance with the Star Fleet
Manual for Classified Information. As such, all classified training documents shall be
marked with the appropriate level of security and at a minimum classification level of
CONFIDENTIAL marked prominently on the cover of the document and on every page.
In addition, all classified training materials must be stored in a secure place and out of the
reach of the general population. Lastly, all persons in training courses that teach classified
information must have the proper security clearance to access such documents.

5.0 THE STAR FLEET ACADEMY


This chapter will provide a detailed description of the Star Fleet Academy, its
organization, the cadets and course structure. The Star Fleet Academy is the premiere
educational institution for the training and education of Star Fleet and Federation force
officers. The main facility of the Star Fleet Academy is located in San Francisco on
Earth, but also has several annexes located throughout the Federation and on the home
worlds of the original signatories to the Articles of Federation. At any one time the main
Star Fleet Academy site may contain about 3200 undergraduate cadets, 2400 graduate
students, 2000 officers undergoing refresher training and a full-time staff of approximately
500 educators and administrative persons.

In general, the Star Fleet Academy (ACADEMY) is an institution for the undergraduate
and graduate education of officers for Star Fleet service. The mission of the Star Fleet
Academy is to develop Midshipmen morally, mentally, and physically, and to imbue
them with the highest ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty in order to provide Star Fleet
with graduates who are dedicated to a career within the Star Fleet Service, and have
potential for future development in mind and character to assume the highest levels and
responsibilities of command.

The faculty is roughly evenly divided between civilian professors and military instructors.
The civilian professors nearly all have a doctorate degree and can be awarded tenure,
usually upon promotion. Very few of the military instructors have a doctorate degree, but
nearly all have a Master’s degree. Most of them are assigned to the Academy from the
fleet for only two or three years. A small number of military instructors are designated as
Permanent Military Professors, all of whom have doctorates. These Staff Corps Officers
remain at the Academy until statutory retirement. Most of them have the rank of
Commander in Star Fleet, but some have the rank of Captain. Like civilian professors,
they seek academic promotion to the rank of Associate Professor and Professor. However,
they are not eligible for tenure. Additionally, there are Adjunct Professors, hired to fill
temporary shortages in various disciplines. The Adjunct Professors are also not eligible for
tenure.

The basic organizational structure of the Star Fleet Academy is shown in Figure
14a50.1. In charge of the Academy is the Commandant: Star Fleet Academy
(COMCAD), who is the senior officer in command of all activities and facilities within the
Academy as illustrated in Figure 14a50.2. Note that the Star Fleet Academy is not
merely a single entity, but a system of schools and facilities distributed throughout the
Federation with the central facility located on Earth. The COMCAD will usually be an
officer of the line (SFC) with the rank of Commodore. The COMCAD will be selected by
the Chief of Star Fleet Education, who will normally select an experienced operational
commander from the fleet. This is normally a temporary assignment lasting about three
years. A more detailed description of the COMCAD may be found in Section 5.1 of this
manual.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY

The Star Fleet Academy was established to train the Star Fleet Officer Corps as
required by ARTICLES 47 and 56 of the Star Fleet Charter. The history of the Star Fleet
Academy begins with the various military academies spread across the planet Earth.
Earth military forces had always had special institutions for the training of its officer corps.
When the Space Service was created in 2131, the planet Earth converted an old military
base at Alameda, California into a training center for its cadets. This training center
continued until around 2170 when it was shutdown upon conclusion of the Romulan War
of 2132. When the Star Fleet Service was established in 2207, the need for an
institution for the training of its officer corps became apparent. As such, ARTICLE 52 of the
Articles of Federation included a requirement to create the Star Fleet Academy for
the purpose of educating the officer corps. In order to execute this requirement an interim
“Academy” was created at the old Alameda facility, as shown in Figure 14a50.3. The
initial group of officers and instructors was largely made up of active and retired officers
from the old Space Service and from the signatory forces that were adjoined to the new
Star Fleet force.

The initial training of these officers took about nine months. Most of the junior officers that
graduated from the interim Academy became the instructors for all the future officer and
enlisted personnel. The senior officers who graduated became the division chiefs of Star
Fleet Command and the senior commanders of the new Operating Forces. During this
period Star Fleet training centers were being created at the newly constructed System
Starbases located on the home worlds of the five signatory members, with the exception
of the planet Vulcan. The new training centers were completed just in time for the newly
graduated instructors to start training those Local Force members that were absorbed
into the Star Fleet Service. Eventually, the facility at Alameda became what is now called
the Star Fleet Academy, which was created under Star Fleet Executive Order 6.2
and officially completed in 2212.

Starting in 2219, the Star Fleet Academy branched out to the other member systems by
building annexes on the signatory worlds of the United Federation of Planets. The
purpose of these annexes was to bring the Academy closer to the signatory partners for
the training and education of member citizens that wish to become officers in the Star
Fleet Service, and to serve as extensions for the education and training of Star Fleet
personnel at points throughout the Federation.

As shown in Section 1.4 of this volume, the symbol for the Star Fleet Academy is an
adaptation of the original symbol of the old Space Military Academy. The Academy
symbol is a triangular arrowhead with an image of the Golden Gate Bridge, indicating San
Francisco, with a vertical Star Fleet arrowhead above it. Both symbols are being splashed
with light from a rising sun indicating a new dawn. The triangle has a red border with the
motto of the Academy inscribed along the edge, and with the location and date of its
creation at the bottom. The Academy's motto is Ex Astris, Scientia - "From The Stars,
Knowledge", which was derived from the old 20th century American NASA motto "Ex Luna
Scientia", - "From The Moon, Knowledge". In turn, that motto was inspired by "Ex Scientia
Tridens", the motto of the old Earth United States Naval Academy, meaning "From
Knowledge, Seapower.” As such, this tradition continued. The motto is a direct reference
to Star Fleet’s mission as a scientific and exploration organization as specified in Article 5
of the Star Fleet Charter, which references ARTICLE 54 of the Articles of Federation.

LOCATION OF THE CENTRAL ACADEMY AND ANNEXES

As stated above, the central offices and buildings of the Star Fleet Academy is located
on the planet Earth in the North American city of Alameda, California. The main campus
occupies approximately 485 ha[1] of land around the Alameda area. This is a large campus
as besides scholastic activities of many forms, the Academy is also involved in extensive
scientific, engineering and academic research as well.

In addition to the central school, the Star Fleet Academy also has five major annexes,
which are extensions of the central academy on Earth. The function of these annexes is to
distribute and customize learning and training to the various cultures and species that
make up the United Federation of Planets. Such annexes are located on the home
worlds of the primary members of the Federation – the original signatories to the
Articles of Federation. These annexes are listed in the table below.

SOURCES OF STUDENTS

Students to the Academy come from across the Federation. However, the majority of
the students at the Academy are young citizens of the Federation recently graduating
from their secondary educational institution. This is because Star Fleet places a premium
on young citizens eager for Star Fleet service. Non-Federation members are eligible to
enter the Academy, but Star Fleet restricts the number to about one percent of the total
student population, or about six individuals each year.

Enlisted Service members who wish to become officers can also request entry into the
Academy. However, Star Fleet limits the number of entrants to about sixty each
calendar year. The description of this process is explained in more detail in Section 5.3 of
this manual.

Members of Federation Local Forces may also transfer into Star Fleet through the
Academy. However, those transferring into Star Fleet are already officers within their
respective Local Force. Therefore, Star Fleet does not accept enlisted personnel from
other forces into the Academy to become Star Fleet officers.

5.1 ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANIZATION


This chapter will provide a detailed description of the Star Fleet Academy’s organization,
both the administrative as well as the academic. The basic, top-level organizational
structure of the Star Fleet Academy is shown in Figure 14a51.1. At the top of the
organization sits the Commandant: Star Fleet Academy, having the designation of
COMCAD. A description of the COMCAD will be presented on the next page.

In general, the Star Fleet Academy is basically a military establishment and as such, is
organized like most other Star Fleet commands. However, the schools and colleges that
make up the Academy function much the same way as any other college or university
within the Federation. Thus, classroom discipline will be comparable with any other
civilian institution, especially those classes taught by civilian professors. This is because the
cadets at the Academy are not yet full military officers and as such, may still be
considered as civilians, but that are under military discipline. However, classes taught by
Star Fleet military personnel will require a greater degree of formalization and discipline
within the classroom.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

COMMANDANT: STAR FLEET ACADEMY

The Commandant: Star Fleet Academy (COMCAD) is the senior officer in command of
all activities and facilities within the Star Fleet Academy as illustrated in Figure 14a51.2.
Note that the Star Fleet Academy is not merely a single entity, but a system of schools
and facilities distributed throughout the Federation with the central facility located on
Earth. The Commandant of the Star Fleet Academy is responsible to the Chief of Star
Fleet Education for:

• The management and administration of the Star Fleet Academy


• The management of all instructors and administrative personnel at the Academy
• The management of the Star Fleet Academy Annexes distributed throughout the
Federation
• The development, management and discipline of all students at the Academy
• The development, maintenance and execution of the educational programs provided
by the Academy
• The management of all research activities performed at the Academy

The COMCAD is an officer of the line (SFC) junior to the CEDU, and will typically have
the rank of Commodore. Under the COMCAD are the various heads of the academic
departments and administrative offices needed to carry out the mission of the Star Fleet
Academy as shown in Figure 14a51.2.

SELECTION OF THE COMMANDANT

The selection of the COMCAD is an exclusive privilege of the Chief of Star Fleet
Education (CEDU), but with final approval by the Director: Star Fleet Command and
the Chief of Star Fleet Personnel. The CEDU will normally select his or her COMCAD
from among the experienced operational commanders within the fleet. The reason for this
selection is that operational commanders have extensive experience in command and
control, and will act as an example of military discipline to the cadets. However, the
selection of a COMCAD from among the operational commanders will require approval
from the Chief of Star Fleet Operations since the CEDU will be taking an operational
commander away from the fleet. However, it should be noted that the position of
COMCAD is normally a temporary assignment lasting about three years. As such, the
operational commander may return to the fleet. Usually, the position of COMCAD for an
operational commander would be accepted as final duty before retiring. It is generally not
likely that after the three-year period the outgoing COMCAD would have a position
available as an operational commander out in the fleet. Therefore, pulling an operational
commander out of the fleet to the position of Commandant of the Star Fleet Academy
is usually reserved for those commanders that are ready to retire.

ACADEMY ACADEMIC ORGANIZATIONS

The Star Fleet Academy is divided into two major organizations for the education and
training of Star Fleet personnel: the Undergraduate School and the Graduate
School, both of which will be described in more detail below. However, the Star Fleet
Academy is also made-up of several schools and colleges that specialize in specific course
subjects. These subjects, specifically the “Core” or required subjects, will be shared among
the two schools. As such, students will be attending classes in the buildings associated
with these schools and colleges as may be required by their degree program.

UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOL

The Undergraduate School is basically the institution whereby young civilians become
Star Fleet military officers. Students in this school are called Cadets, and have their own
structure and command hierarchy. First-year students are called Plebes, second to third-
year students are called Cadets, and fourth-year students and above are called
Midshipmen. A more detailed explanation of the cadet hierarchy will be clarified in
Section 5.4 in this manual. Students in this school will also be subject to military training
and discipline by the Academy and by upperclassmen. This aspect of military training
involves physical exercises, weapons training, marching and drilling, and hazing[2], where
upperclassmen may impose strenuous, often humiliating, tasks as part of the student’s
ability to give and take orders, and for the purpose of unit cohesion and discipline.

The Undergraduate School basically performs the function of directing the student
towards his or her goal as an officer of the Star Fleet. For those students that wish to
specialize in one of the Staff Corps programs, the Undergraduate School sets the
course curriculum and requirements for graduation and officer commissioning.

GRADUATE SCHOOL

The Graduate School is for commissioned Star Fleet officers to either complete their
education or to increase their training and knowledge. Examples of the completion of an
officer’s education are in the areas of medicine, law and diplomacy. As such, the
Graduate School is the only organization at the Star Fleet Academy that bestows
advanced degrees upon students.

Unlike the Undergraduate School, graduate students will not partake in military training
such as drills or hazing. Their focus will be on research and study in their specialty. In
addition, graduate students in the Graduate School will not wear the same uniforms as
their cadet counterparts. The uniform for graduate students will usually be the Standard
Working Uniform or the Work Coverall (for lab work), and sometimes the Formal Dress
Blue uniform, as may be specified by the Commandant.

The Graduate School is also research facility as well. Such research is performed in the
areas of science, engineering, medicine, law, and the military arts. As such, the school has
extensive research and testing facilities. There are many buildings dedicated to analysis
and testing of materials and equipment, for the design and testing of equipment, for the
development of new materials and products, and for the analysis and examination of new
diseases, biologics, plants and other organic and inorganic entities. As such, the Graduate
School is the premier institution for research and development, and works closely with
other Federation and Star Fleet research organizations.

SCHOOL OF MILITARY ARTS AND SCIENCE

The function of the School of Military Arts and Science is to instill military discipline
into cadets and to provide its graduates with the skills to deal with the disparate
challenges encountered in contemporary military and Federation government operations,
and to solve complex operational and strategic problems in peace, conflict, and war. The
school basically educates future leaders of the Federation with the primary focus on
leadership development. The School of Military Arts and Science is also a research
institute established to study military programs, their effectiveness as well as strategies
and tactics to be employed by Star Fleet. The following table lists the eight departments
of the school, as shown in Figure 14a51.7, and itemizes some of the courses taught by
these departments.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

The majority of the students and Midshipmen that attend the Academy to become line
officers are generally engineering students. This is because of the very nature of Star
Fleet as an operator and commander of ships and space stations. As such, these officers
will graduate from the College of Engineering. However, other students may pursue a
career as a Staff Corps office of either the Engineering Corps or Construction Corps.

The College of Engineering is divided into several departments that specialize in specific
engineering disciplines. However, since engineering is an outgrowth of science, the
majority of the core courses required for all engineering subjects will be taught by
members of the School of Pure and Applied Science. Such courses include physics,
mathematics, and chemistry. As such, engineering students will attend such classes at the
School of Pure and Applied Science. The following table lists the nine departments of
the school, as shown in Figure 14a51.8, and itemizes some of the courses taught by these
departments.

5.2 DEGREE PROGRAMS


This chapter will provide a description of the degree programs available to cadets by the
Star Fleet Academy. Both undergraduate and graduate degrees offered by the Star
Fleet Academy will be presented. In general, regular line officers will take those courses
associated with General Engineering. That is, prospective line officer graduates will
receive a bachelors degree in General Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or
Propulsion Engineering. This is because, in most cases, newly commissioned line
officers will be assigned duty at either a Starbase or a Starship. As such, the new line
officer will have to learn the technical aspects of the command in order to someday
become a Commanding Officer of such a command.

The General Engineering degree program basically consists of all the various types of
engineering degrees combined into one. General Engineering students will take courses
in Mechanical, Nuclear, Chemical, Electrical, Structural, and Computer Engineering, as well
as various science courses such as Biology, Chemistry, Cosmology, Physics and Advanced
Mathematics.

Unlike line officer students, those students that will pursue a career in one of the Staff
Corps, such as Engineering, Medical, Judicial, Diplomatic, and Chaplain, will
concentrate their studies and take such courses as are required by the particular specialty.
Section 4.2 in this manual will provide a more detailed description of the courses required
for their specific Staff Corps specialty. As such, this section will present the various
undergraduate degree programs that are available to cadets that wish to enter a Staff
Corps. These programs will be listed in Table 14a52.1 on the next page.

After completing their degree requirements and become commissioned officers, those in a
Staff Corps program will have the opportunity to enter advanced degree programs, as
listed in Table 14a52.2. This is especially true for those officers that graduated into the
Medical, Dental, Medical Services, or Judicial Corps. These individuals must
complete their training beyond the bachelor’s degree in order to enter their specific Staff
Corps. Those cadets that completed their requirements to enter the Engineering,
Construction, Diplomatic, Science, Supply, and Chaplain Corps have an opportunity
to further their education if allowed by the exigencies of their particular corps. Line
officers, on the other hand, will generally be assigned duty directly to the fleet upon
graduation and commissioning. However, while on duty at their permanent assigned duty
station, line officers may request to continue their education and to receive an advanced
degree associated with their duties. The Commanding Officer of the command is duty
bound to honor such requests as specified in Star Fleet Regulation 4620, but within the
limits of operational exigencies.

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS

The Academy provides all the major degree programs that can be found in any civilian
college or university. In addition, specific degrees can also be issued based upon the field
the student is studying. This aspect is typically for those entering one of the Staff Corps
of the Star Fleet. The following table lists the various degrees an individual in the Star
Fleet Academy might receive. Note that there is no program for nursing. All nurses enter
the service already certified.

ADVANCED STUDY

Advanced study is any training or education beyond the undergraduate program. As such,
the Academy has a Graduate School for the advancement of study within a particular
field. The Graduate School is the branch of the Academy that manages the various
graduate schools and programs for those who wish to further their education or to enter a
specific field of endeavor within Star Fleet. Most of the students that enter the graduate
school will typically enter a particular Staff Corps. The Graduate School is independent
of the cadet program and establishes its own criteria for advanced degrees, as well as the
curriculum for the various programs offered by the school. The school will work with the
various academic departments in establishing the courses required to meet the graduate
requirements.

The Academy offers both Master’s and Doctorate degrees in a variety of fields. However,
there are no advanced doctoral degrees in Nursing or Finance and Accounting, nor are
there any specific theological degrees conferred upon Star Fleet Chaplains. The Chaplain
program is a special branch of the Department of Humanities and Social Science at
the Academy. The following table lists the various advanced degrees issued by the
Academy.

In addition to advanced degrees, the Graduate School also conducts research for the
Department of the Star Fleet in areas such as engineering, the sciences, medicine and
the military arts. For example, the School of Military Arts is basically a research school
established to study military programs, their effectiveness as well as strategies and tactics
to be employed by Star Fleet.

Advanced study also includes refresher training, seminars, etc. Most of this form of
advanced study is for members of a Staff Corps that desire to keep up to date on the
latest information and techniques within their field.

5.3 ENTRANCE INTO THE ACADEMY


The purpose of this section is to describe the admissions and registration process into the
Star Fleet Academy, which includes the different ways in which applicants can enter the
Academy. In general, admission into the Academy begins with the submission of an
application directly to the Academy Office of Admissions. This office reviews and
processes each application and ensures that all the basic requirements of age, education
and citizenship have been met, and that all the questions have been answered and signed
by the appropriate people. It should be noted that entry into the Academy requires the
recommendation from a Federation official such as, but not limited to, a member of the
Federation Council, the Supreme Assembly, or the Commanding Officer of an
active-duty enlisted person. Once the initial review has been completed, the applicant will
undergo the vetting process.

The function of the vetting process is to determine the final acceptance of the applicant
into the Star Fleet Academy. This process involves a back-ground check of the individual
by agents of the Star Fleet Investigative Service, and various tests of physical and
mental fitness. Such examinations for entrance into the Academy can only be performed
at a Star Fleet shore facility. The examinations for entrance are somewhat grueling and
diverse in subject matter. The questions or problems asked during the general examination
are somewhat technical in nature and emphasize scientific and mathematical knowledge.
This is because most of the line officer graduates receive degrees in general, aerospace or
mechanical engineering. The examinations for entry in the various Staff Corps will
concentrate on the specific area of specialization the applicant wishes to pursue, but they
are still required to pass all other portions of the examination as well.

There is also a test of character as well. This test determines how an individual will react
to a stressful situation. The applicants will be required to complete a written examination
when, however, a perceived actual emergency will be initiated. The applicant will have no
idea that this is a test, but will perceive it as a real casualty. The applicants will be
remotely observed through hidden cameras to see how they react and how they will
respond or handle the casualty[3]. A similar test, the Kobayashi Maru No-Win Scenario[4], is
given to all line officers as part of command training in Commanding Officer School.

In general, entrance into the Academy will be based upon the number of class openings
and the overall size of the graduating class. Entrance is not guaranteed. All individuals
applying to the Academy will be notified of their acceptance and status. Individuals that
meet all the requirements, but did not make it into the next available class will be placed
onto a waiting list. This list is prioritized based upon previous academic achievement and
other factors. It is not a sequential list and is sized for a three year wait period. Even so,
there is no guarantee that an individual on the list will enter the Academy at all. If an
individual is not accepted or has been removed from the waiting list, they will be notified
of their status as such.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY

The requirements for entry into the Star Fleet Academy are much the same as that for
entering the Service in general. However, requirements and standards for entry into the
Star Fleet Academy are set by the Star Fleet Division of Education and are not set
by the Star Fleet Bureau of Personnel. As such, the Star Fleet Academy controls all
requirements for admission into its school.

AGE REQUIREMENTS

In general, Star Fleet requires that anyone entering the Service must be equivalent in
maturity to an eighteen-year-old Earth person. The only exception to this rule concerns
entrance into the Star Fleet Academy. It is understood that there may be individuals,
who by their mental abilities, could enter the Academy at an earlier age than is the
rule[5]. However, such individuals cannot enter full active service, even upon successful
completion of the Academy, until they have reached the Star Fleet minimum age
requirement.

FITNESS REQUIREMENTS

All applicants to the Star Fleet Academy must meet certain fitness requirements. Fitness
not only means physical, but mental as well. This requirement is determined during the
vetting process. All applicants to the Academy will be examined for physical fitness and
mental health. As previously stated, and as part of the vetting process, investigators from
the Star Fleet Investigative Service will obtain health and fitness records as part of the
background check process and submit its findings to the Office of Admissions.

EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Individuals who wish to enter the Star Fleet Academy must have successfully completed
their secondary education with a Proficiency Rating of 80% or higher, or may transfer from
a recognized and accredited institution into the Academy. The requirement for this
program is at least two years of higher education with a Proficiency Rating of 80% or
higher.

CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENTS

Generally speaking, there is no definite citizenship requirement foe entering the Star
Fleet Academy. However, acceptance of individuals that are citizens of planets that are
non-members of the Federation will be restricted to about one percent of any incoming
class as shown in Chart 14a50.1 in Section 5.0 of this manual. These are students that
come from worlds that are within the United Federation of Planets, but that are not
planetary members. In addition, these students will be restricted as to what degree
program they can attend. The allowed programs are Medical, Dental, Medical Services,
Nursing, Diplomatic or Chaplain. Lastly, there will be no one accepted into the Academy
that come from any planet outside the Federation.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

CIVILIAN ENTRANCE INTO THE ACADEMY

Application to the Star Fleet Academy by a citizen of the Federation is performed much
in the same way as with normal enlistment, except that the application is primarily
performed at the applicant’s home. During this process, educational and other pertinent
information will be automatically sent to the Office of Admissions for review. The next
stage of the process involves taking the examinations for admission.

The examinations for entrance into the Academy can only be performed at a Star Fleet
shore facility. The examinations for entrance are somewhat grueling and diverse in subject
matter. The questions or problems asked during the general examination are somewhat
technical in nature and emphasize scientific and mathematical knowledge. This is because
most of the line officer graduates receive degrees in aerospace or mechanical engineering.
The examinations for entry in the various Staff Corps will concentrate on the specific area
of specialization the applicant wishes to pursue, but they are still required to pass all other
portions of the examination as well.

Once accepted into the Academy, the individual will be sworn-in and take the oath of
allegiance to Star Fleet and the Federation. The student, who will now be classified as a
“Plebe,” is now a member of Star Fleet and thus, subject to Star Fleet Regulations.

ADMISSION OF NON-MEMBER CIVILIANS

As previously stated, only a small number of persons from planets that are non-members
of the Federation will be allowed entry into the Academy. The admission of non-
member civilians will be the same as stated above, but which may take longer to vet since
Star Fleet Investigators will have to obtain information of the individual from foreign or
non-member sources.

STAR FLEET COMMAND MANUAL
VOLUME XIV
STAR FLEET EDUCATION

ADMISSION OF ENLISTED PERSONNEL TO THE ACADEMY

Active-duty enlisted personnel can also transfer to the Academy from the fleet upon the
recommendation from their Commanding Officer. This is performed through a special
program called the Enlisted Officer Program or EOP, whereby enlisted persons can
become an officer by entering the Star Fleet Academy as a plebe. However, only a
limited number of candidates from the fleet are selected each year to enter this program.
This program is only open to selected enlisted persons with a grade between T4 and T6.
To enter this program the candidate must have been on active service for at least four
years and have passed several aptitude tests to determine qualification into the program.

The EOP process begins with the enlisted person submitting a request to their
Commanding Officer (through the Executive Officer) indicating their desire and intent
to become a Star Fleet officer. The Commanding Officer will review the service record
of the applicant and along with the Executive Officer, approve or disapprove the
request. Upon approval by the Commanding Officer the applicant, if a member of a
ship’s crew, will be taken to the nearest Star Fleet shore facility to take the entrance
examinations at the earliest convenience of the command. That is, if the vessel is currently
engaged in a mission or operation the applicant must wait until there is time enough for
the ship to travel to a shore facility. However, applicants from shore facilities can take the
entrance examinations at any time, but at least three weeks before the next Academy
semester begins. In order to prevent an inequality in the number of ship versus shore
applicants, Star Fleet has established a quota on the number of applicants from each
branch. This was instituted since shore applicants have easier access to examination
facilities than do their ship counterparts.

ADMISSION OF LOCAL FORCE TRANSFEREES

As shown in Chart 14a50.1 in Section 5.0 of this manual, the allocation of transferees from
all Local Forces into the Academy is about 20 percent. That is, a maximum of about
20% of any class will be made up of Local Force transfers. The process for admitting and
vetting Local Force transferees is relatively simple since Star Fleet investigators will
have access to the military records of the applicant.

STAR FLEET COMMAND MANUAL
VOLUME XIV
STAR FLEET EDUCATION

INITIAL EXPOSURE TO THE ACADEMY

The Star Fleet Academy is not merely an educational institution, but a military one as
well. As such, newly matriculated plebes will be subject to military discipline immediately
upon entrance to the Academy grounds.

The first thing that will happen during Induction Day is that the new class will be divided
and the new Plebes will be assigned to a Squad within a Platoon. The Squads will be
organized by gender and planetary origin for the first year. Later, they will be combined.
Each Plebe in a Platoon will line up by Squad and take direction from their Squad
Leader, who is a second-year cadet student.

Each new Plebe will surrender his or her civilian clothes and collect the uniform and
bedding the Academy will issue them. Plebes will then have their hair cut to regulation
length and will go through a thorough medical examination. At this point, the plebe will be
assigned his or her berth.

CADET BERTHING

Cadets are berthed in dormitory rooms containing five cadets and one upperclassman
acting as Squad Leader. This forms a Cadet Squad. Dormitories are divided by gender
and planetary origin, with males of one species berthed in one building and females in
another. It is only during the third year that male and female cadets will be berthed
together.

CADET MEALS

All cadets will have their meals in a common “Chow Hall.” The Chow Hall is a large open
enclosure containing long benches that seat twenty-two; ten on each long side and two
upperclassmen at either end. It will be the upperclassmen that will tell the plebes when
and how to eat, asking questions or making demands on the plebes in the process. All
cadets will eat the same food, regardless of planetary origin. The food will be generic in
nature and composition so that all cadets are able to eat and digest the material.

CADET DRILLS

All cadets will be required to participate in military drills, such as marching in formation.
This will be done throughout a typical day when not in class. Other forms of military
training include weapons handling and live-fire exercises. Cadets will be required to be
proficient in handling firearms though later in their student career, certain students, such
as medical, dental, nurse, legal, science, diplomatic or chaplains will not be required to
qualify on weapons in order to graduate.

CADET CLASSES

Cadets will attend those classes associated with their intended profession. Most cadets will
be attending similar classes, though they may not be in the same academic program.
Every cadet will be required to study some form of mathematics, physics, chemistry,
military law and custom.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PLEBES AND UPPERCLASSMEN

The relationship between Plebes and the other class members is held in strict compliance
to the traditions of the military academies of old. For example, during the first year, Plebes
will be viewed upon as second-class citizens by the rest of the Brigade, who make it a
point to "snipe" any plebe who is not doing his or her job correctly. That is, to verbally
castigate in order to improve the performance of the plebe. In addition, Plebes are also
required to begin memorizing much of the information in their copies of Reef Points. This
is a booklet containing required knowledge every Plebe must master, such as knowledge of
the enlisted and officer ranks of all Federation military organizations, proficiency in
Federation military communications codes, information on all current Star Fleet ships
and craft, Star Fleet Marine Corps uniforms and command organizations, certain texts
of Star Fleet Regulations, and certain quotes which promote esprit de corps.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

5.4 CADET ORGANIZATION


Cadets are organized into a military command structure to get them used to Star Fleet
military life. The cadet organization is a typical military pyramid structure with a single
student commander at the top, supervised by the Superintendent of Students as
shown in Figure 14a54.1. The top student commander is entitled the Brigade
Commander, a senior fifth-year Midshipman, selected by the Superintendent who,
through merit and academic scholarship, has earned the privilege to lead the entire class.
However, like his peers, when he or she graduates and receives his or her commission, he
or she will be like all other graduates. Becoming a Brigade Commander does not entitle
the individual to any special considerations out in the fleet, just while he or she is an
undergraduate at the Academy. Being a Brigade Commander is looked upon very
favorably and as such, there is a greater expectation of performance from this individual.

Under the Brigade Commander are the two regimental commanders: Commander 1st
Academy Regiment and the Commander: 2nd Academy Regiment. These cadets will
usually be fifth or fourth-year Midshipmen. The two regiments will compete with each
other for academic and military superiority. This helps train the regimental commanders in
organizing and leading a large group of individuals against an opposing force of similar
capability. As such, the focus of the regimental commanders will be organization and
strategy. Each Regiment is divided into three Battalions and as such, there are a total
of six Battalions. The leader of a Battalion is usually a third-year student. The primary
function of the battalion commanders is to organize and lead a large group of individuals
and to work with the other battalion commanders in organizing for a common goal. As
such, the primary focus of the battalion commander will be organization and teamwork.
Each Battalion is further divided into five Companies.

Class sizes, and therefore, the number of Battalions and Cadet Companies, may vary
from year-to-year, depending upon the need for officers in the fleet. As such, the number
of Battalions in each Regiment may be reduced, and the number of Companies per
Battalion may be reduced, as well.

STAR FLEET COMMAND MANUAL
VOLUME XIV
STAR FLEET EDUCATION

CADET COMPANY

A Cadet Company is the most basic of the large organizations of cadets at the Academy
and is made up of five Platoons as illustrated in Figure 14a54.2. The idea of the company
is to group the smaller Platoons together into a single, cohesive unit. The Company, as
a whole will eat, sleep, study, drill, play and compete together as a team. As such, cadets
within the Company will learn to trust and rely on each other. The company experience
also gives cadets an idea of how things work in the Star Fleet and Marine Corps, where
small-unit cohesion, teamwork and morale are as important in peacetime operations as in
combat. This structure of Brigades, Regiments, Battalions and Companies is identical
at each of the Academy Annexes as well.

Cadet Companies are also separated by planetary origin. That is, cadets from the various
planets representing the Federation are placed together within the Platoons contained
therein. One reason for this has to do with the home planet environment and thus, the
Academy cannot mix the races. However, in most cases, this separation will mainly be
performed at the Academy Annexes. The homebase Academy on Earth will generally
have primarily, if not exclusively, humanoid cadets.

Each year, companies compete for the title, ‘Color Company’, the best in the Brigade. The
year-long color competition among the thirty companies is one way company spirit is built.
Companies accumulate points for academic, professional and intramural excellence. The
company with the most points is recognized at the Color Parade during Commissioning
Week and then enjoys special privileges for the next year, including the honor of
representing the Star Fleet Academy at official Federation and Star Fleet functions.

Each Platoon represents a year at the Academy and is made up of four Squads of five
cadets of the same class year. The Platoon Leader is one of the top students from the
fourth year on up within the Company. That is, the Platoon Leader of the First
Platoon (in charge of the Plebes) will be one of the top students from either the previous
third or fourth year. This trains them for leadership. All Platoon Leaders and Company
Commanders will be selected by the Academic Board. Only upperclassmen may hold
such positions of authority. However, Squad Leaders within the Platoon will be selected
from among the best within that year.

Each Platoon, Squad or Company leader is responsible for the order and discipline of
his or her organization. Failure to do so may, at first, result in Punishment Duty.
However, if the problem is severe enough, they could be removed from the position of
leadership. Disciplinary action of cadets will be discussed in Section 5.6 of this manual.

GENERAL CADET TRAINING SCHEDULE

As previously stated, the Star Fleet Academy is a military organization and therefore,
will be under military discipline and structure. Although the Academy is an institution of
higher learning, it is also a military institution and as such, the cadets will be required to
partake in military exercises and training. And as a military establishment, cadets are on
duty all day, every day (24x7).

During the weekday, training begins at 4 am with Physical Training, or PT, as illustrated in
Figure 14a54.3. PT in the morning generally involves physical exercises to tone the
muscles. After morning PT, the cadet cleans up, changes uniform and goes to morning
meal. After the morning meal cadets will go to their assigned classes according to the
syllabus for their degree program. The actual schooling and education of cadets in their
profession is performed during the eight-hour daylight period. Each class session is fifty
minutes long with a ten-minute break between classes as with civilian institutions. There
are no classes during the weekend periods, but there still is military and physical training
on Saturday. Sunday is generally a rest period, except those on Restriction.

Distributed throughout the day is also Military Training or MT, as shown in Figure 14a54.3.
This is a mixture of classroom training on military subjects, as well as disciplinary activities
such as marching, weapons handling, etc. In the afternoon there is more PT, which may
include self-defense training as well as physical exercises. Towards the end of the day,
there is Study Hall, where students can review and study, write reports, and perform
homework assignments. PT during the weekend may include competitive sports.

Cadets at the Academy are fed three times a day. During the weekdays meals are about
30-45 minutes long. Whereas the weekend meals will usually be a full hour. Academy
food is prepared by fabricators or DC Units in an area called the Galley. Here the cadets
will choose from a limited selection of meal units and carry their trays to the Chow Hall.
The Chow Hall is a large open area with tables and benches as described in Section 5.3.
Generally, after a meal there is a short period of rest or of minimal activity in order for
proper digestion. At the end of the day is Taps. This is an annunciator sound signaling all
cadets to “Hit the Rack” and to sleep. There is no noise allowed during sleep time. All
cadets must remain quiet.

SENTRY AND GUARD DUTY

As part of their military training, all cadets, especially Plebes, must stand Sentry Duty.
This involves parading back and forth at a specified Sentry Post with an imitation Phaser
Rifle. Cadets are not allowed to bear actual weapons except on the firing line for target
practice. Sentry Duty is normally performed during the sleeping hours and provides
proper military discipline. During Sentry Duty, cadets are not allowed to speak to anyone.

RESTRICTION AND PUNISHMENT DUTY

Should a cadet break the rules or accumulate demerits, they may be restricted from
partaking in recreational activities, or be assigned punishment by standing lengthy Sentry
Duty. As shown in Figure 14a54.3, punishment is usually administered on Saturday after
the noon meal and during the cadets off period, usually for five hours until the evening
meal. Restriction, on the other hand, usually means that the cadet is restricted to his or
her quarters, while the other cadets are enjoying their recreation and time off.

5.5 ACADEMY UNIFORMS, INSIGNIAS AND


DEVICES
The standard uniform for the cadets at the Star Fleet Academy is the Star Fleet
Ceremonial Dress White uniform as shown in Figure 14a55.1. It is the same dress white
uniform as worn by regular Star Fleet personnel except for the collar device, which
displays the rank and position of the person within the Academy organization. Academy
cadets will march on parade in this uniform and will retain this uniform after graduation.
As such, this is the only complete regular Star Fleet uniform issued to cadets.

The Star Fleet Academy work uniform is unique within the Service since the Academy,
in terms of military service, is a bridge between civilian and active duty. The work or cadet
Day Uniform is basically the same as the working uniform worn by active-duty members
of the Service[6]. That is, the uniform uses the same boots, trousers and undergarments.
However, the work tunic is basically silver in color with alternating silver and gray stripes
as shown in Figures 14a55.2 and 14a55.3. As such, this work uniform may only be worn
by the cadets. All other Service personnel who are instructors and administrative persons
will wear the standard Star Fleet working uniform as prescribed by the Commandant:
Star Fleet Academy.

Star Fleet Academy cadets and midshipmen may also wear a special version of the Star
Fleet work coverall as well. Typically, the coverall will be worn over the cadet working
uniform in special classes. For example, students taking a chemistry course will wear the
coverall to protect clothing from chemical spills, etc., or certain courses that require hands
on equipment, etc. The coverall will generally be the blue “science” version. However, pre-
medical students will most likely wear the medical blue coverall. On the other hand,
engineering students will wear the red “engineering” version of the coverall.

Regarding other uniforms, cadets will not be issued the Formal Dress Blue uniform when
they enter the Academy. Only fourth year Midshipmen can wear this uniform, but with
no sleeve markings as shown in Figure 14a55.4. That is, no indication of a commission or
rank. The Formal Dress Blue uniform will also have the emblem of the Star Fleet
Academy (as shown in Image 14a55.1) placed on the left breast of the blazer. In
addition, the Formal Dress Blue uniform will be worn during graduation and at the receipt
of the graduate’s commission. Lastly, since Academy cadets are not regular Star Fleet
service personnel, they cannot wear the Service Dress Uniform. Only after they are
commissioned and assigned to their first duty station may they wear the Service Dress
Uniform, if proscribed.

UNIFORM BADGE[7]

All students, regardless of their rank within the organization, will wear the Sterling silver
metal pin version of the 10-point starburst. The badge is shown in Image 14a55.1 below.
As shown, it is a removable pin and therefore, can be transferred from the work uniform to
the dress uniform as needed. The pin is given to each cadet upon entry into the Academy
and must be kept clean and polished as part of the cadet’s duties. A tarnished pin may
result in demerits issued by upperclassmen. The orientation of the badge is also important.
The badge has a starting spiral which must be oriented to the left arm and the top spiral
pointing directly upwards.

CADET RANK BRAID AND DEVICES

Although cadets are not commissioned officers, they do hold rank within the Academy
organization. However, there is no pay grade for cadets since cadets do not get paid,
except for Midshipmen that are beginning their fourth year. The rank sleeve markings
consist of bluish-silver stripes displayed on the working uniform and a metal collar pin that
is placed on the Ceremonial Dress White uniform. The sleeve stripes show both the cadet’s
year in school as well as his or her position within the cadet organization. The horizontal
stripes indicate the cadet’s position, while the angles stripe shows the class year as
illustrated in the following table.

GRADUATE STUDENT UNIFORMS

Graduate students of the Star Fleet Academy are already commissioned officers and as
such, will wear the uniforms as any other officer within the service. However, they will be
restricted on what they can wear on campus. Generally, commissioned officers attending
classes at the Academy will usually wear the Formal Dress Blue uniform, as shown in
Figure 14a55.4, and will wear the Ceremonial Dress White uniform during formal school
functions. However, graduate students will not be allowed to wear the informal Standard
Working Uniform while at the Academy, unless specified by the Commandant: Star
Fleet Academy. In addition, although graduate students are commissioned officers and
therefore, may wear the Service Dress uniform, they will not be allowed to wear this
uniform on the Academy grounds.

5.6 ACADEMY DISCIPLINE


As a military institution the Star Fleet Academy trains its cadets in Military Discipline.
In general, Military Discipline refers to the strict obedience and orderly behavior that is
expected of all Star Fleet and military personnel throughout the United Federation. It is
characterized by the crewman’s prompt and willing responsiveness to orders and in
understanding the need for compliance to regulations. Military discipline is essential for
ensuring the effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of Star Fleet operations, as well as the
overall success of its mission. As such, the Star Fleet Academy maintains a strict code of
conduct and holds itself to a high standard of honor, expressed in the following basic
concepts:

• That Academy Midshipmen are persons of integrity; they stand for that which is
right. They tell the truth and ensure that the truth is known. They do not lie
• Academy Midshipmen embrace fairness in all actions. They ensure that the work
submitted is their own is their own, and that assistance received from any source is
authorized and properly documented. They do not cheat
• Academy Midshipmen respect the property of others and ensure that others are
able to benefit from the use of their own property. They do not steal

In general, the Honor Concept of the Brigade of Midshipmen was established by


midshipmen to urge everyone to carry out their duties with the highest sense of personal
integrity and honor. It represents the minimum standard that midshipmen are expected to
follow. Honor, integrity, and loyalty to the service, its customs, and its traditions, are
fundamental characteristics essential to a successful Star Fleet officer. Lying, cheating,
and stealing are intolerable in the brigade as in the fleet, and may be cause for separation
from the Star Fleet Academy. The emphasis is on “doing what is right” rather than
simply not breaking the rules. As such, the function of this section is to present and define
what Academy discipline is all about.

In addition to academic and physical training of cadets at the Academy, moral training is
also included. Moral development is a fundamental element of all aspects of the Star
Fleet Academy experience. As future officers in the Star Fleet, midshipmen will soon be
responsible for the priceless lives of crewmembers and Marine Corps troopers and for
highly complex and expensive equipment. From Plebe Summer through graduation, the
Star Fleet Academy's Officer Development Program is a five-year integrated
continuum, along with academics, that focuses on the attributes of integrity, honor, and
mutual respect. Moral training also includes respect and honor for religious activities as
well. As such, time is given to cadets to pursue spiritual obligations and activities as well,
and there is a Chapel on the grounds for religious services.

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

MILITARY TRAINING

As part of military discipline, Academy cadets will undergo Military Training, or MT. MT
is a combination of Physical Training (PT), which strengths the body, and classroom
training in the military arts, self-defense, the use of weapons, the galactic political
situation, handling spacecraft, and in leadership.

DISCIPLINARY ACTION

Military Discipline also includes those actions needed to correct behavior or to punish
transgressions. Therefore, all Academy cadets are subject to Star Fleet Regulations,
the Star Fleet Code of Conduct, and the Code of Star Fleet Justice. As such, military
training will include the study of these documents. In addition, the Academy also has its
own rules and regulations regarding the conduct of its students. Any infraction of these
rules may subject the cadet to go in front of the Board of Student Ethics to explain.

DEMERITS

Demerits are as way to quantify, as best as one can, what is considered bad behavior
and in the violation of Academy rules and regulations. Demerits are given to cadets by
upperclassmen while in the performance of their leadership duties. The number of
demerits will depend upon the type and severity of the infraction. For example: a cadet
who leaves the campus without authorization may receive 25 demerits for the infraction.
Should the cadet receive 100 or more demerits, that cadet will be required to stand before
the Superintendent of Students for discipline.

PUNISHMENT

As stated above, should a cadet receive enough demerits, he or she may be required to
stand before the Superintendent of Students for disciplinary action. The cadet must
explain his or her behavior before the Superintendent, along with any witnesses for or
against the cadet. The Superintendent will then decide what manner of punishment
rates the severity of the transgression(s).

For minor infractions, the Superintendent will dispense Administrative Corrective


Measures or ACM. These are measures that promote efficiency and good order and
discipline such as counseling, admonitions, reprimands, reproofs, exhortations,
disapprovals, criticisms, censures, rebukes, extra military instruction, and administrative
withholding of privileges. Most punishment will be of this type. However, for more serious
infractions, the Superintendent will meet out Non-Judicial Punishment, as allowed by
SFCMJ-15, and specified in Part V of the Star Fleet Manual for Courts-Martial. See
Appendix A in Volume VIII of the Star Fleet Command Manual for details.

DISMISSAL

For very severe infractions, or crimes, the Superintendent of Students may order the
cadet to be dismissed from the Academy. This will require approval from the
Commandant: Star Fleet Academy, which will be submitted to the Chief of Star
Fleet Education for review. However, dismissal does not necessarily mean the individual
cannot enter the Star Fleet, but only as an enlisted person. The dismissed individual can
never become an officer in the Star Fleet Service.

5.7 OFFICER COMMISSIONING


An individual who successfully completes the requirements for graduation from the Star
Fleet Academy automatically becomes a commissioned officer upon graduation, usually
with the rank of Ensign. However, there may be individuals that will continue their
education at the Academy with an advanced degree – usually within a specialty such as
engineering, medicine or law. These individuals, upon receiving their Master's degree, will
be commissioned a Lieutenant Junior Grade, or a Lieutenant for a doctorate degree.
In addition, Star Fleet medical students who have completed their education at the Star
Fleet School of Medicine and Dentistry and who have served an internship at a Star
Fleet hospital will also be commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Star Fleet Medical
Corps. During the graduation ceremony the graduate will receive both a diploma and a
commissioning certificate signed by the Federation Council President. An example of
such a document is illustrated in Figure 14a57.1.

A commission is an official document issued by the Federation Council conferring upon


the recipient the rank of an officer in the Star Fleet Service. It certifies that the named
individual is an officer of the Federation Star Fleet and is endowed with the authority to
manage and direct persons within the Service. This is a legal document indicating the
power and authority vested into the individual by virtue of his or her rank. In essence, a
commission is a contract between the United Federation of Planets and the Star Fleet
officer, granting that officer the authority to command personnel within the Department
of the Star Fleet and to administer those Federation government assets that are under
the purview of the Department of the Star Fleet. In return, that officer will swear an
oath to uphold the laws of the United Federation of Planets, to defend the Federation
against all enemies, to bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and to faithfully
discharge the duties to which he or she is assigned.

GRADUATION AND DUTY ASSIGNMENT

At graduation, the entire graduating class will be seated in the Academy stadium to
partake of the graduation ceremony. There will be notable speakers as well as the Chief
of Star Fleet Education and the Director: Star Fleet Command. After all the
speeches have been made, the Commandant of the Academy will call the names of the
graduates, in alphabetical order, and will present the diploma conferring the degree to
which the Midshipman has earned, as well as any special honors or distinctions awarded
to the graduate. An example of such a diploma is shown in Figure 14a57.2. In addition,
the graduate will receive his or her commission as an officer of the Star Fleet Service.

The uniform for the graduation and commissioning ceremonies will be the Academy
Dress White uniform as illustrated in Section 5.5 of this manual. All the accouterments of
Academy rank will be displayed on the graduate’s uniform.

Regarding graduation attendees, the family members of the graduates will be invited to
attend the graduation. However, a maximum of four family members may attend the
ceremonies. This is to keep the number of guests to a minimum since the size of the
graduating class could be high. Cadets in their second to fourth year may also attend, but
alone. They, too, must wear the Dress White uniform as well. However, Plebes are not
allowed to attend the graduation ceremony. They will be placed on duty.

STAR FLEET COMMAND MANUAL
VOLUME XIV
STAR FLEET EDUCATION

COMMISSIONING CEREMONY

The commissioning ceremony is performed after the graduation ceremony gas concluded.
As stated in the previous subsection, a Midshipman will receive his or her certificate of
commission as an officer in the Star Fleet Service during the graduation ceremony when
receiving his or her diploma. However, there is a special ceremony afterwards to celebrate
the Midshipman’s promotion to officer. The commissioning ceremony will also be the
time when the newly commissioned officer will receive his or her orders to their permanent
or next duty assignment. At this point, the newly commissioned officer will change to his
or her Formal Dress Blue uniform. This is the uniform all Star Fleet officers must wear
when reporting aboard their new command.

OTHER CELEBRATIONS

Other celebrations may include parties organized by each Company, Battalion, or by the
entire Brigade. These are sanctioned events, which were previously reviewed and which
received approval from the Commandant. Here, family members and friends may attend
these festivities as well. However, these events will require an Admissions Pass in order to
enter the Academy grounds and to attend the celebrations.

STAR FLEET GUIDE

STAR FLEET EDUCATION

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The function of the Star Fleet Guide is to provide a background explanation of the
reasons why the Star Fleet, as well as the United Federation of Planets, was created in
the manner I present in Star Fleet Command Manual.

The history of the Star Fleet Command Manual goes back to 1973 after the book “The
Making of Star Trek” came out in 1968. At the time (1973) this author was in the U.S.
Navy Submarine Service. Being on a nuclear submarine is very close to being in a space
ship. In fact, it is the closest thing to a Starship than anything else on the planet. Living
on a submarine one gets to understand what is needed in terms of the type of systems
and the resources required to maintain operations within a closed space for an extended
period of time, and that there was always the danger of death just outside of the hull.
Also, being in the engineering department, we had many “Tech Manuals” on all pieces of
equipment and systems. It was these Tech Manuals (NAVSHIPS) where I got the idea to
make a Star Trek version: the Star Fleet Command Manual.

The timeframe for the Star Fleet Command Manual is sometime in the year 2277. This is
after the original television series (TOS), but before the first movie. This timeframe was
selected because I wanted to take a “snapshot” of Star Fleet at a particular point in time.
The reason being is that I wanted to create a detailed description of the Star Fleet, and
to move too much through time would have diluted this effort. As such the manual would
form a basis for future expansion in order to cover the periods of the movies and the
later television versions.

The Star Fleet Command Manual is organized into volumes. We start by laying out the
foundation for the world of the Federation and of Star Fleet. This is encapsulated in
Volume I. Volumes II, III, IV and VI go into more detail regarding the operation of Star
Fleet. Now being a techie and a nuclear engineer and a physicist, I cannot resist getting
into the details of how Starships are made and how they operate. As such, Volumes V
and VII go into such details – basing much on my experience as a nuclear engineer and
the effort, requirements and specifications needed to design, build and operate nuclear
power plants and submarines. The subsequent volumes (VIII, IX, X, … XIX) are specific
to the divisions that comprise the Department of the Star Fleet. This volume, Volume XIV
describes the training and education provided by Star Fleet and therefore, is all about the
people who train and educate new recruits, the officer corps and those service members
that wish to advance in their career.

One last point I wish to make is that I believe that the Star Fleet of the TOS era was a
military organization. As such, the structure set forth in the Star Fleet Command Manual
will be based upon this belief. Many may not agree with this assessment and they are
entitled to their opinion. But all evidence in the TOS fully suggests that it is. Perhaps the
later Star Fleet of the Next Generation series may suggest otherwise, but the fact
remains that in the TOS era the Star Fleet was military. However, to those that think
otherwise, you can rest in comfort with the belief that all organizations change over time
and that the original Star Fleet may evolve into a different (effeminate or an effete)
organization such as that depicted in TNG.

2.0 CHAPTER NOTATIONS


FORWARD

 Note that I chose Admiral Westervleit (Byron Morrow) from the TOS episode For The
World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky since he was the last available flag
officer from the original series. In that episode the admiral appeared to be an
operations type guy. He probably was the Commander: Star Fleet Ship Operations at
the time of the episode. This new assignment is somewhat of a promotion since he is
going from being a subdivision Commander to a primary division Chief. This is also a
lateral placeholder assignment, in terms of rank, before getting a promotion to Vice
Admiral and becoming a “Chief” for a more sizeable and important division.

CHAPTER 1

1. The idea of an “Academy” was first suggested in the TOS episode What Are Little
Girls Made Of. In that episode Kirk stated that Dr. Roger Corby’s work in the
translation of medical records from the Orion ruins was required reading at the
Academy. Another mention of the Academy occurred in the TOS episode Shore Leave
when Kirk talked about an upperclassman named Finnegan who used to torment
him. The Academy was also mention in the TOS episode Patterns of Force. In this
episode Kirk mentioned that John Gill was his instructor at the Academy….
2. The date on the bottom of the symbol was changed to meet the history I presented.
The original date was MMCLXI or 2161. In my history the actual “Star Fleet
Academy” went into operation in 2212, though much of the structure of the old
Academy existed during the 2160’s.

CHAPTER 2

There are no remarks or notes in this chapter.

CHAPTER 4

1. Note that the Roddenberry Training Center is in memory and honor of Gene
Roddenberry.
2. We see such a simulator in the TNG episode Coming of Age and in the Star Trek
movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn.
3. Self-defense is part of Star Fleet military training as pointed out by Captain John
Christopher U.S.A.F. in the TOS episode Tomorrow Is Yesterday. Capt. Christopher
stated in Sickbay: “I see physical training is required in your service, too.”
4. We see this type of simulator being used to train cadets during Fleet Week. Saavik
was undergoing command training in the Kobayashi Maru No-Win Scenario in the
Star Trek movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn.
5. This is how Kahn learned about Starship operation while he was recuperating in
Sickbay in the TOS episode Space Seed.

CHAPTER 5

1. The metric unit for ground area in the Federation system is Hectares (ha), which has
the following definition: 1 ha = 10,000 m2 = 2.472 acres. That means that the
ground area of the Academy occupies about 1200 acres of land.
2. Hazing is what Finnegan (upperclassman) was doing to Kirk as a plebe at the
Academy, as described in the TOS episode Shore Leave.
3. We witnessed such a test in the TNG episode Coming of Age. In that episode the
applicants were subjected to a perceived emergency, which they thought was real.
However, it was later discovered that the accident was faked and it was a
psychological test. We can see how difficult it is to enter the Academy.
4. The Kobayashi Maru No-Win Scenario was first introduced in the Star Trek movie
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn.
5. This was one of the reasons why Wesley Crusher did not make the first cut into the
Academy in the TNG episode Coming of Age.
6. This is the uniform worn by Finnegan in the TOS episode Shore Leave. Based on this
episode I can only conclude that this is the uniform worn my cadets at the Academy.
7. The picture of the badge is a blow-up taken from the picture of Finnegan in the TOS
episode Shore Leave. It looks similar to the star worn on the uniforms of Admirals
and Commodores in the TOS episodes, but is very much different.
