The USS Alan Turing is divided into three divisions - Command, Operations, and Sciences.  Each of these divisions are share various responsibilities that help make the ship function.  Without this, it would place too much responsibility on just one or two people, thus creating a quick burn out situation and creating a higher turnover within the command structure.

The Operations Division is comprised of a total of eight departments - Communications, Engineering, Entertainment, Helm Control, Logistics, Navigation, Security, and Tactical.  The division is led overall by the Operations Officer.  Operations and the departments within are the heartbeat of a ship, both fictionally and realistically.

The Sciences Division is comprised of a total of three departments - Planetary Studies, Space Studies, and Medical with two sub-departments of Psychological Services and Spiritual Services.  This is the division that guides the ship, researches the spatial anomalies we encounter, ensures our health and well-being, and otherwise provides for our knowledge, both what is known and what we have yet to learn.  

The Command Division is the corps of officers and crewmen whom run the command and control functions as well as the administrative response between the ship and the fleet, both at the regional level as well as international.  The Command Division consists of the Commanding Officer (CO), the Executive Officer (XO), the Second Officer (SO), and the Chief of the Ship.
