- After Gary Windass had been arrested and charged with assaulting a Police Officer in January 2011, he was summoned in front of his regiment's Commanding Officer. Gary pleaded his case with his superior, explaining that the death of his colleague Quinny had effected him greatly and he'd just "lost it" on the night of the assault. However, the Commanding Officer informed Gary that although he appreciated the emotional strain of a tour of duty in Afghanistan, he also had to take into account his previous convictions and the severity of the most recent offence and ultimately took the decision to discharge Gary from the army.
- Commanding Officers (Commanders or COs for short or Syogun in the Japanese versions) are the main characters of Famicom/Advance Wars. They are the leaders of each Force and generally the only characters to speak throughout the game. During each battle, the player assumes control over a CO's actions. Each CO has their own special attributes and certain COs are more suited for different kinds of battles than others. See for a full list of COs.
- The commanding officer is usually a Captain on a starship. The commanding officer gives orders to his/her crew during the mission. While off on deep space missions, problems may arise that need to be resolved for the mission to continue. It is for this reason that COs of vessels have been given limited powers regarding discipline. In addition to overseeing the day-to-day operation of a starship and to ensure it carries out its intended functions, a Commanding Officer is responsible for submitting a crew evaluation form and weekly ship logs to his/her SXO. SXO notifies vessel COs by sending out the blank form to be completed with all expediency by the CO.
- The Commanding Officer or Captain is head of the Command Staff, being first in command or leader of a Starship or Space Station, and usually holds the rank of Captain or above (although there can be exceptions).

- The Commanding Officer (CO); or Officer Commanding (OC); is the officer in command of a military unit. Typically, the commanding officer has ultimate authority over the unit, and is usually given wide latitude, within the bounds of military law. In this respect, commanding officers have significant responsibilities (for example, the use of force, finances, equipment, the Geneva Conventions), duties (to higher authority, mission effectiveness, duty of care to personnel) and powers (for example, discipline and punishment of personnel within certain limits of military law).
- The commanding officer (CO) is the officer in charge of the current pillage. The CO usually handles all aspects of managing the pillage, though is often helped by other officers, especially on larger pillages. These duties include:
* charting a course
* deporting
* setting sail at league points
* hiring jobbers
* planking jobbers
* ordering pirates to duty puzzles
* intercepting other ships
* battle navigation
* divvying the booty
* restocking the ship. This is sometimes termed the Officer in Charge (OiC).
- A commanding officer (or CO) is a term used to describe one's rank in relation to others within the same environment. One meaning of commanding officer is the highest-ranking officer and commander of a unit. On starships, the CO usually has the rank of Captain, though sometimes a Commander, Commodore or Fleet Captain may also hold this position. On starbases, the CO is sometimes referred to as "portmaster" and was usually a captain or a flag officer. On starships, it is general practice to address the commanding officer as "Captain," regardless of their actual rank or position.
- One meaning of commanding officer was the highest-ranking officer and commander of a unit. On starships, the CO usually held the rank of captain, though sometimes a commodore or fleet captain may have also held this position. On starbases, the CO was sometimes referred to as "portmaster" and was usually a flag officer. (TOS: "Court Martial" , "The Menagerie, Part I" , "The Menagerie, Part II" , "The Deadly Years" ) Some bases, however, were commanded by commodores, captains or commanders. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine seasons 1-3; TNG: "11001001" ; TOS: "Balance of Terror" , "Court Martial" , "The Menagerie, Part I" , "Arena" , "The Deadly Years" )
- The commanding officer (CO) is the officer in command of a military unit. Typically, the commanding officer has ultimate authority over the unit, and is usually given wide latitude to run the unit as he sees fit, within the bounds of military law. In this respect, commanding officers have significant responsibilities (for example, the use of force, finances, equipment, the Geneva Conventions), duties (to higher authority, mission effectiveness, duty of care to personnel) and powers (for example, discipline and punishment of personnel within certain limits of military law).
- Commanding officer, also known as a C.O. is an officer who has command responsibility for a post - such as an installation, station, or a ship in both the United Earth Starfleet as well as the Federation Starfleet. For most starship commands, a commanding officer will usually hold the rank of Captain, however this is not always the case. Individuals from the rank of Lieutenant all the way up to Admiral have been known to hold the post of commanding officer.
- A Commanding Officer, or CO, is the commander of a battalion of Federation Marines. They lead their fellow soldiers into battle and possess ultimate authority over their unit, dictating, among other things, weapon and equipment authorization. Some COs are not human, but AI within gunships. Soldiers under their command interface with them through their gunship and via Navigation Rooms. These COs are actually the consciousness of deceased Galactic Federation commanders, uploaded to computers before their deaths, to ensure that their military wisdom would live on. However, as the Federation has shown signs of corruption, it is likely that some artificial COs are manipulated to better suit the Federation's interests by not remembering who they were and protecting illegal bioweapon-related proj
- In the Navy, commanding officer is the official title of the commander of a ship, but they are usually referred to as "the Captain" regardless of their actual rank, or informally referred to as "Skipper." However, there have been Navy COs that held the rank of Commander, such as Captain Keyes before his promotion to Captain during the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV. Marine Commanding Officers are issued orders by a higher ranking Naval Commanding Officer if on board a starship. Marine Battalion COs (known as Battalion Commanders) are usually Lieutenant Colonels, though Majors can fill this position if a Lieutenant Colonel is unavailable. Marine Platoon Commanders are usually First Lieutenants, and Company Commanders are usually Captains.
- The Commanding Officer, or CO, is the officer in command of an individual Starfleet command assignment. Officers with the rank of Captain or Commander usually occupy the position of Commanding Officer of standard-sized starships and minor space stations. But officers with the rank of Rear Admiral (upper\lower grade) are given the position for very large single-command assignments with a fleet captain or a captain as first officer, or officers with the rank of Lieutenant Commander are accorded the same for minor single-command assignments, such as Oberth-class starships. The Commanding Officer would be assisted by a first officer (or executive officer (acting as second-in-command)) and a Chief of the Boat (acting as the senior enlisted advisor to the CO and XO).
