View source for Defense Adjutant

'''Defense Adjutant''' is one of five bureaucratic positions unique to [[Clan Star Adder]]. The position was created by Khan [[Tomas Banacek]] in the 29th Century, while four others were created by the Clan's founder [[Absalom Truscott]] at the Clan's inception: [[Naval Adjutant]], [[Intelligence Adjutant]], [[Logistics Adjutant]], and [[Adder's Adjutant]]. Khan Truscott embraced the intricacies of running the Clan military and created the positions to give the warriors assigned to them a taste of the skills needed to command. Officers are routinely moved between them and are elected from a small group of frontline Cluster and Galaxy commanders. Often, the Khan finds a protégé among the group and unofficially encourages their ascension through the upper echelon of the Clan. Excepting the Adder's Adjutant, the warriors report to the [[saKhan]].<ref name=FMCC116>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 116: "Chain of Command"</ref>

The Defense Adjutant is responsible for the organization, training, and deployment of the Clan's second-line and [[solahma]] units.<ref name=FMCC116/>
