** It is possible that Kelly is only third in command because of the "malefactions" of Apollo, and that, typically as fourth it is not a surprise that he is not seen before.

** While Doctor Cottle holds the rank of Major, as physician he would not be in ''Galactica'''s chain of command at all. In the military there are times when a lower ranking person will be in "operational command" of people who are technically higher in rank. This is the distinction between a [[w:staff officer|staff officer]] and a [[w:line officer|line officer]]. Line officers are those officers in general military specialities, and are eligible to command ships and other units. Staff officers, however, are only permitted to command units within their speciality (like medical personnel). Aboard ships, the senior line officer is in command, no matter the rank of any embarked staff officer. While the line officer will treat the staff officer with all courtesy and respect of the higher rank, the line officer is not obligated to follow any orders of the staff officer not within the staff order's speciality. This is how a doctor (staff position) may remove a line officer who is not fit for duty from command, but may not assume command unless ''all'' line officers are incapacitated. | ** While Doctor Cottle holds the rank of Major, as physician he would not be in ''Galactica'''s chain of command at all.
