The executive officer (or XO) is a billet position in the armed forces. They are considered command positions, and is always the officer that is junior to the commanding officer.
[edit]
In the UNSC Navy, the executive officer (or First officer) is the senior most crew member below the commanding officer of the ship. Usually, this post will be held by a Commander or Lieutenant Commander, but occasionally will be held by a Lieutenant.
UNSC Army and Marine Corps[edit]
In the UNSC Army and Marine Corps, the executive officer is the officer that is second-in-command to the commanding officer. Executive officer billets exist from the company level up, in both the Army and Marine Corps.
Note that platoons do not have XOs; the second-in-command in a platoon is a platoon sergeant.
