  • An Aide-de-Camp is a personal assistant, secretary, or adjutant to a person of high rank in Starfleet or the Federation, usually a flag officer, a councillor, or a senior diplomat. The first aide-de-camp is typically the foremost personal aide. For those flag officers with more than one aide, the senior-ranking aide is usually considered to be the senior aide and serves in the capacity of coordinating the other aides and the others of the flag officer's personal staff.
  • In 2293, the Starfleet commander in chief's aide-de-camp introduced him at the classified briefing regarding talks with the Klingon Chancellor Gorkon. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) The character's function was not identified on-screen but rather she was referred to as such in the film's end credit sequence.
  • An aide-de-camp (French for field assistant) also known as a Chief of Staff is a personal assistant or secretary, to a person of high rank, usually a senior military officer or a head of state. This is not to be confused with an adjutant, who is the senior administrator of a military unit. The first aide-de-camp is typically the foremost personal aide. In some countries, the aide-de-camp is considered to be a title of honor (which confers the post-nominal letters ADC or A de C), and participates at ceremonial functions.
  • An aide-de-camp was, generally-speaking, an officer in a military force or organization who was the idiot-boy (or girl) for a high-ranking general, admiral, or other military official. Another way of putting it was that, anyone who was "selected" to become an officer's aide-de-camp had become, in effect, that officer's bitch. Such an unfortunate being could be subject to any and all sorts of humiliations. Some aides, despite their gross incompetence, were allowed to retire from military life. Such was the case with Captain Sillybollocks.

  • An aide-de-camp was, generally-speaking, an officer in a military force or organization who was the idiot-boy (or girl) for a high-ranking general, admiral, or other military official. Another way of putting it was that, anyone who was "selected" to become an officer's aide-de-camp had become, in effect, that officer's bitch. Such an unfortunate being could be subject to any and all sorts of humiliations. On the flip side, some officers were known to practice nepotism, and appoint members of their own family to be their aide-de-camp. No such aide was ever trusted with anything vital, of course, but occasionally one did develop enough initiative to make a difference. Such persons were usually either killed or promoted; rarely, neither option was appropriate, and the former aide-de-camp would be given their own command within the regular forces. Some aides, despite their gross incompetence, were allowed to retire from military life. Such was the case with Captain Sillybollocks.

The badge of office for an aide-de-camp is usually the aiguillette, a braided cord in gold or other colors, worn on the shoulder of a uniform. Whether it is worn on the left or the right shoulder is dictated by protocol.
