USC High Command

USC High Command (HIGHCOM or HighCom) is the highest commanding office of the United Space Command, a command that is ultimately in charge of all personnel, equipment, and facilities used by the USC Armed Forces. High Command consists of less than thirty members that work very closely to plan missions, set objectives, to ensure that there are no disputes over resources or the command hierarchy among the lower echelons.

Organization and membership

USC High Command is the executive body consisting of a small joint staff of senior military personnel within the United Space Command that plan missions, set objectives, and ensure that there are no internal disputes or conflicts over resources and command hierarchy among the subordinate commands. Though the USC is rather large and often bureaucratically unwieldy, the USC was designed for cross-discipline cooperation and joint operations, with a great deal of overlap between operational commands and divisions. However, due to the nature of the USC High Command, this organizational structure results in very few jurisdictional and protocol issues. High Command has authority over planning, personnel, resources, and equipment within the USC, and advises the United Nations Federation on defense matters.
USC High Command is split into three commands; the Unified Ground Command, coordinating the ground forces of the USC Armed Forces, and the USC Naval Command, in charge of the USC Navy and token expeditionary aspects of the USC Marine Corps, and the USC Fleet Command, which is responsible for overseeing all matters related to the USC Space Fleet and Air Force. High Command exercises local authority through regional Central Commands, which have responsibility over certain areas of United Nations Federation space. High Command is responsible for establishing numerous mandates and directives for the Office of Space Intelligence, with many of the agency's orders coming directly from High Command. However, most sections of OSI often mislead or lie to High Command, while Fleet Command is often blindsided by the organization. High Command requires approval from the USC Security Council.
High Command is a small group of the USC's highest-ranking officers, including fleet admirals, admirals, commanders, and generals; members of High Command include the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the USC, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Space Intelligence. There is fewer than thirty members of USC High Command, all of which work closely together. Top-level officers from every branch of the Armed Forces form the USC Security Council of High Command, an influential body that is in overall control of the USC.
