  Line officer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A line officer (or otherwise termed "officer of the line") is a military officer who is trained to command a warship, ground combat unit, or combat aviation unit.
Officers who are not line officers are those whose primary duties are in non-direct combat specialties (as opposed to those assigned to non-combat duties for a given tour or rotation) such as chaplains, lawyers, supply officers and medical officers (both nurses and doctors).
The expression "officer of the line" is rooted in the 18th- and 19th-century British naval practice of employing sail-powered warships in line formations to maximize the effectiveness of side-mounted cannons.
