Who is directly responsible to the COD chief for the direction and supervision of all offensive operations?

The individual directly responsible to the Chief of the Commander of the Operations Division (COD chief) for the direction and supervision of all offensive operations is the SODO, or the Senior Operations Duty Officer. This role encompasses overseeing the execution and coordination of offensive operations, ensuring they align with the objectives set forth by the higher command. The SODO acts as a crucial link between the COD chief and the operational forces, implementing strategies and maintaining situational awareness.

Other roles mentioned, such as SODOT (Senior Operations Duty Officer Trainee), WD (Weapon Director), and NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), do not have the same level of direct responsibility for offensive operations under the COD structure. The SODOT is typically in a training or subordinate role, the WD focuses on specific weapon systems and tactics rather than on overall operations, and NORAD functions at a higher command level with broader defense responsibilities, not specifically tied to the direct supervision of offensive operations.
