He/she is also responsible for coordinating ship activities in such a manner so as not to overload or oversubscribe any particular system/resource. The HCO Officer also monitors the away team(s) status when not onboard the ship. The HCO Officer also handles all communications both to and from the ship. Although all HCO officers are cross-trained in both helm and operations, some officers choose to serve exclusively in one of those two positions as is needed by their current starship/assignment.

The communications/operations fields were merged in StarFleet in 2320. This is the major for cadets who wish to pursue advancement in the command line fields of StarFleet. Operations personnel study a program designed to give them a working knowledge of all other divisions in StarFleet. Ops officers are frequently trained to become commanders themselves. The Ops cadet usually minors in Helm/Navigation, but any other field where a minor is offered is acceptable.
