The Command department is ultimately responsible for each individual ship/base and its crew, and those within the department are responsible for commanding the vessel and representing the interests of Starfleet.

Summary

The Command Division is the corps of officers and crewmen within Starfleet who specialized in command and control functions on starbases, aboard starships, and at Starfleet Command. Members of the command division are trained in leadership and have tactical training allowing them to decisively take action in organizing and mobilizing Starfleet crews to perform missions. Command officers include most all of the admiralty, captains, executive officers, adjutants, pilots, and flight controller (or helmsman).

While Command in itself is a broad field, it also includes the Flight Control, Administrative, and Intelligence branches.
