Shadow Company Officer PMC Corps Overview
The Shadow Company Officer Corps is the main administrative body in the PMC. All officers are very experienced in various matters both administrative and in the field. All officers either enter via applications or they pass Officer Academy. Members who go through applications have their applications reviewed by the O-10 Commander themself. Operatives who obtain officer status through Officer Academy are more trained and equipped to adjusting to becoming a member of the Shadow Company Officer Corps.
The Shadow Company Officer Corps has three different types of officer status. Company Grade / Junior Officers, which encompasses O-1 2nd Lieutenant to O-3 Captain, Senior Officers / Field Grade Officers which encompasses O-4 Major to O-7, Special Operations Directors, and High Command which consists of the O-8 Operations Coordinator, O-9 Deputy Commander and O-10 Commander.
Junior Officers are the main body of the officers responsible for hosting events for Shadow Company. They also hold authority on all enlisted and most NCO ranks. Junior Officers are the most common officer to see on the field and they specialize in ensuring all operations are successful, training enlisted and the Non-Commission Officer Corps’ skills are always improving, and mentoring subordinates.
Senior Officers are more experienced in administrative matters but are still very deadly on the battlefield. Senior Officers mostly help in managing the Non-Commissioned Officer Corps. However, Senior Officers also assist and have a say in huge changes that come to Shadow Company as a whole.

They are considered the most prestigious and influential individuals in the Shadow Company PMC.
