SECOND LIEUTENANT

Officer Force Structure: The officer force structure is comprised of three distinct and separate tiers. The tiers are Company Grade Officer (CGO) and include grades O-1 thru O-3, Field Grade Officer (FGO) comprising of grades O-4 thru O-6, and General Officer (GO), with grades O-7 thru O-10. FGOs are expected to have mastered CGO responsibilities. Officers should understand the enlisted structure, duty titles, and responsibilities within their organizations.

Second Lieutenant (2Lt): 2Lts fall in the CGO tier and are often charged with learning as much as possible as quickly as they can. It is not uncommon for some 2Lts to change offices to gain familiarity with their career field and learn operations.
