United States of Quentin Naval Chain of Command

The United States of Quentin naval chain of command refers to the different ranks, seniority, and process of command that are present in the United States of Quentin Navy. The Supreme Commander of the Quentinian Military is at the head of all naval operations, though the President of the USQ appoints the Supreme Commander and can remove him or her at any time. Past the Supreme Commander, there are two Admirals of the navy, who are appointed by, subordinate to, and take orders from the Supreme Commander, but run most of the regular operations of the navy themselves. These are the Homeland Admiral and the Foreign Admiral. Each admiral's command is assigned to different regions, with the Homeland Admiral having authority over all defense ships and squadrons close to the territories of the USQ, and the Foreign Admiral having command over all deployed squadrons.

Contrary to popular belief, the two admirals are equal in status, however during times of war the Foreign Admiral does gain seniority and authority over the Homeland Admiral. Below these two Admiral positions are numerous officer positions, deputy positions, and finally enlisted ranks.

The chain of command of the USQ Navy is not set in stone in one official document, like the ranks of the Army, which are decreed in the Constitution, but have developed over time with a number of executive orders, Supreme Council cases, and precedence.
