Coalition Officer

In the hierarchical structure of the Dragonguard, the senior-most officers who oversee operations under the Alliance, independently from any specific region or nation, are designated as Coalition Officers. These elite leaders hold a prestigious five-star rank, enabling them to command vast fleets and armies. Their responsibilities encompass strategic planning, resource allocation, and ensuring effective coordination among the various divisions within the Dragonguard.
At the pinnacle of this hierarchy lies the highest-ranking officer, known as the Archon of the Dragonguard, who holds a six-star rank. The Archon not only serves as the supreme military commander but also plays a vital role on the Board of Directors of the Dragonguard Council. In this capacity, the Archon is recognized as the Director of Military Affairs, overseeing the implementation of military strategies and policies.
Unlike the regional Dragonguard, where multiple individuals can occupy senior ranks, the hierarchical system here is distinctly different. Each coalition officer position is held by a single individual, which ensures clear accountability and a defined chain of command during collaboration among multiple regional Dragonguards. This structure prevents overlapping roles at the senior level.

Purpose

The primary objective of the Coalition Officers and the five-star ranks within the Dragonguad is to create a well-defined and efficient chain of command during collaboration among various regional Dragonguard divisions. In situations where multiple individuals hold senior ranks and serve as leaders of their respective regions or nations' Dragonguards, this can lead to confusion and disputes regarding leadership and operational authority during joint initiatives.
To mitigate any potential conflicts over command authority during these collaborations, the Dragonguard Council has established a five-star grade for the three branches. This system is designed to provide clarity and structure, ensuring that each regional commander understands their place within the hierarchy. Under this framework, every four-star commander reports to their respective five-star grade officer. Ultimately, these five-star officers report directly to the Archon.

Etymology

The title of this distinguished group of senior officers is derived from their unique operational framework within the broader Dragonguard. Unlike officers of regional Dragonguards or national interests, these individuals serve a higher purpose, representing the unified goals and standards of the Alliance itself.
These officers may be referred to by several titles, including Coalition Officer, Alliance Officer, or Flag Officer. It is important to note, however, that they are distinct from the Flag Officers of the regional Dragonguard, who are primarily focused on the dynamics and matters related to their particular region or nation.
