Line 16:
In addition, within [[combat]] units, [[line officer]]s are in the chain of command, but staff officers in specialist fields (such as medical, dental, legal, supply, and [[chaplain]]) are not, except within their own specialty. For example, a medical officer in an [[infantry]] [[battalion]] would be responsible for the [[combat medics]] in that unit but would not be eligible to command the battalion or any of its subordinate units.
The term is also used in a [[civilian]] [[management]] context describing comparable [[hierarchical]] structures of authority. Such structures are included in Fire Departments, Police Departments and other organizations who have a paramilitary command structure.
