User:Intricated/Starfleet organizational structure

The following is an interpretation of the Starfleet organizational structure based on canonical references to various branches, departments, agencies, and other sections of the Starfleet organization (from a 24th century point of view) organized into a hierarchy based on the three known divisions.
 * Note that although the references to agency names are canon, the interpretation is mostly speculation.

Starfleet officers are occasionally seen in a position or part of a team that is not the same as their formal training, title, or rank, or were members of multiple teams or held multiple titles or positions. Thus, such officers may wear uniform colors different than expected. An example would be Admiral Owen Paris heading up the Pathfinder Project, which is part of Starfleet Communications, an Operations division (yellow) agency, and wore the red of the Command division. Another example is Lieutenant Commander Data who wore operations yellow while being both Chief of Operations and Science Officer aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D).
