Security Specialized Duty Posts

Starfleet Rangers

• Starfleet Rangers have the status of a special branch of Starfleet Security. Starfleet officers from any department can serve in the Rangers under the aegis of the Security Branch. Some remain with the Rangers for many years, while others serve only a single tour of duty before accepting assignment elsewhere, usually a posting to a starship or starbase. Since the formation of the Rangers, Starfleet has seen an increasing number of career Ranger officers, who have devoted their entire career to the organization. These officers are valued for their experience and their ability to teach their skills to a new generation of Rangers.

• Starfleet Rangers is a fairly recent innovation in the service. The Rangers emphasize planetary survival skills and the ability to work alone for long periods of time, allowing Rangers-operating both singly and in small groups-to explore, patrol, and protect the borders of Federation space.

Rapid Response

• A joint Command and Security qualification, certifying the individual is capable of a high degree of readiness for rapid response missions.
• If the Rapid Response Officer billet is filled then that officer can administer the certification.
• The Rapid Response Task Groups are also reffered to as Hazard teams, in honour of there founders about USS Voyager.
