When The Captain needs to contact Mission Control to talk to the Voice with an Internet Connection, he has a number of options. He could call him up on his Comm Link, or maybe even find a pay phone. But maybe this is a job for someone more specialized, or maybe The Captain needs someone to delegate this to while he deals with other things. He needs the Communications Officer. The Communications Officer need not be an officer, and in fact, will often be a lower ranking member tasked with maintaining and operating the complex radio equipment (such as a Western Union Man). On a sci-fi show, they will often have a workstation on the bridge of the ship, while in a war movie, you can expect to see this guy running around two steps behind The Captain with a cumbersome backpack radio with a huge whip antenna. Whenever we see Mission Control, expect to see an entire squad of these guys at work. More mundane examples include a secretary in an office, who has the job of screening calls to their boss and sending out messages for them. If he is properly trained, he can also be a disproportionately dangerous individual, using his radio equipment to call in artillery fire and air strikes, bringing tons of high explosives down on his enemies' heads. Against savvy enemies, he can expect to draw fire, especially if he has one of the bigger backpack radios. You can't call for help if nobody alive can use the communications equipment. If The Radio Dies First, they can be expected to be hard at work trying to fix it, or helplessly declaring that it can't be done. Overlaps with Mission Control. Will often be working as one of the Bridge Bunnies. A key member of the Command Roster. |

Super Troopers has Farva given this job at the highway department as punishment after the school bus incident. Meanwhile, Ursula is tasked with the same job at the Spurbury Police Department because she's a woman. Actually, Ursula later reveals that they keep her on dispatch because the rest of them are Corrupt Cops who help Canadian drug lords move marijuana through Spurbury. |

The Shadow: Burbank is the most mysterious of The Shadow's agents. Since he is quite skilled at electronics, wire tapping and tracking information, his chief duty is central communications for The Shadow and his network of agents and gathering needed facts. Some may argue that he is the most vital person of The Shadow's organization, as he is the only agent able to report directly to The Shadow when he is in his private sanctum. This is done through a special AirWire radio system. | |

Communications Officer Doug Eiffel of the USS Hephaestus from Wolf 359, whose job is to listen to static in the hope of hearing alien transmissions. The series later introduces Officer Sam Lambert, the previous Comms Officer of the Hephaestus, (Casting Gag played by the same actor.) It is revealed at the end of the first season that Doug's habit of also broadcasting his personal logs and assorted classical musical selections into the void is how humanity makes First Contact with a race of Sufficiently Advanced Aliens. Unfortunately, this is also how these aliens first learn English, something that even the aliens are annoyed by. |

G.I. Joe has had two communications officers. The first one, Breaker, was one of the first 3 3/4" G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero figures produced, and came with a helmet-mounted radio. The second, Dial-Tone, had a communications backpack and was introduced a few years later. Versions of both characters have been mainstays of the franchise; a Race Lifted Breaker was in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, while a Gender Flipped Dial-Tonenote slightly renamed as Dialtone appeared in G.I. Joe (IDW) comic books and G.I. Joe: Resolute. | |

We Were Soldiers: A number of radio operators are mixed in amongst the soldiers, with several unnamed ones getting shot and killed during firefights. Another one, after proving himself particularly skilled by managing to tune in on radio transmissions from a battle happening on the other side of the Earthnote Reality Is Unrealistic. This actually happened, owing to a quirk of UHF radio signals that allows them to bounce off the upper atmosphere, is assigned as Colonel Moore's personal radioman. The movie also had a radioman whose primary responsibility was calling in fire support. According to the book the film was based on, he was actually a fighter pilot by trade. The idea of the military being that a pilot with experience delivering close air support would be better able to evaluate what would be best and call it in more efficiently. Still standard practice. In the US Marine Corps it's part of a pilot's normal career path to spend time in the infantry. In the Army it's an enlisted Air Force NCO living with the infantry. |

In the Wraith Squadron novels, this is Jesmin Ackbar's specialty. In addition to her experience with the actual communications gear, she is skilled at cryptography and codes, and is able to twice alert Wraith Squadron to forces attempting to ambush them by picking up supposedly encrypted low-power transmissions that the enemy thought were safe to use.

In the Mass Effect series, this role is typically filled by Joker, Yeoman Chambers, or Specialist Traynor. Unusually, both take steps to avert the "glorified secretary" aspects of this trope; Chambers is a psychologist (important when you have a crew like Shepard's), whereas Traynor, before being drafted as Shepard's adjutant, was actually in charge of a complete refit of Normandy's comms that allows it to coordinate an entire, galaxy-wide war effort involving thousands of ships on multiple fronts. | |

Star Trek Star Trek: The Original Series brings us one of the most famous examples, Lieutenant Uhura. In the Star Trek Expanded Universe and the 2009 film she is also a xenolinguistics expert. In the new series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Cadet Uhura is a prodigy who is fluent in over three dozen different human and alien languages and has a talent for language, and is dubbed by Captain Pike as "The Voice of the Enterprise." Star Trek: The Next Generation: This is the original duty for Worf, perhaps owing to his bicultural background. In the pilot of Star Trek: Voyager, Ensign Harry Kim gets a battlefield promotion to Operations Officer which also includes this trope. Star Trek: Enterprise: Hoshi Sato handles communications. Her linguistics expertise also come into play because the Universal Translator is still a work-in-progress. She's also responsible for Subspace Ansible equipment, which allowed the Enterprise to communicate back to Earth. There is a clear evolution of the comm officer role over the chronology — in Enterprise it is a science officer position, with Sato being recruited because of her linguistics expertise in the sense of 'the scientific study of language' and her primary focus being in translation (and helping develop the nascent universal translator). By TOS/2009 film series it is an operations officer position, with Uhura's primary focus (even if she is an expert in languages) being in the handling of transmissions to and from the ship and the equipment for doing so. By TNG it isn't even a formal bridge officer position — neither Worf nor Harry Kim were actually called communications officers, they just handled the hailing frequencies open/being hailed bit as part of their general duties. Star Trek: Discovery: Lieutenant R.A. Bryce. |

The Vietcong series has the radioman. In the first game, you have to use his radio whenever the radio icon shows up. In tunnel-based missions, you're equipped with your own radio. In the second game, he uses the radio himself. | |

Valkyrie, about an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, has a panel of women at switchboards, telephones and telegraphs receiving messages from lesser officers, and sending orders from Mission Control commanders. One of these ladies gets the message "Der Fuhrer ist Tot." She worriedly hands the message to a general, which ultimately activates an emergency protocol code-named Valkyrie that places Berlin under the control of Colonel von Stauffenberg, All According to Plan. Later, word comes through that Hitler is still alive. Not knowing which to believe, he sends through both. |

In World of Tanks, each tank has a radio operator who allows the player to "see" tanks spotted by teammates within radio range. Tanks with smaller crews may double up on crew roles, often with the tank commander operating the radio. Certain tanks place radio operators in relatively exposed positions, making them the first casualty when the tank comes under fire. | |

In the new series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Cadet Uhura is a prodigy who is fluent in over three dozen different human and alien languages and has a talent for language, and is dubbed by Captain Pike as "The Voice of the Enterprise." | |

In Wing Commander III, "Radio" Rollins is both this in the literal sense, being the TCS Victory's communication's officer, as well as in the informal sense, considering himself as the one person on the ship who will tell you exactly what's really going on. You have the option upon first meeting him to lay down the law and get him to stop hurting ship's morale with his rumors about Confed being on the ropes in their war with the Kilrathi (which, while largely true, are disastrous for morale to just come out and state them openly when there is still a fighting chance for them to recover). | |

Following the lead of the films, both Empire and Rebellion have communication ships. The Rebels had an unidentified ship stationed at Sullust keeping the rest of the Alliance informed about what was happening at the Battle of Endor, and the Empire was known to use the Allegiance-class battlecruisers for the role and to broadcast battles they were winning to the whole galaxy. The latter got at least the lead ship destroyed, as during the Battle of Dac New Republic reinforcements used the broadcast to home on it and emerge from hyperspace right on top of the Allegiance with guns blazing. | |

In BattleTech, a number of battlemechs have second seat for a communications officer, who takes control of the battlemech's radio and other communication equipment, and can have other tasks such as monitoring the Enemy-Detecting Radar. CP-10-Z Cyclops assault mech was purpose-built for Star League field officers and possesses an advanced tactical computer to coordinate an entire battalion. The AS7-D Atlas is often retrofitted for the same purpose. These mechs are often the first target in an engagement, both to take out the commander and to take out the 90+ ton bipedal murder tank. | |

GURPS: Communications officer is one of the crew specialties noted in GURPS Traveller Starships. GURPS Steampunk 2 notes that radio is a steam age invention, but from very late in the day, so it's unlikely to appear in Steampunk games. If it (or something similar but more advanced) appears in Raygun Gothic games, though, where it's more likely to be appropriate, it's likely to be vehicle-mounted (probably in a "telegraphy cabin") and require skilled operation. |

Star Wars Legends has a few examples: Jedi Quest character Darra Thel-Tanis is an expert at jamming and intercepting signals. In the Wraith Squadron novels, this is Jesmin Ackbar's specialty. In addition to her experience with the actual communications gear, she is skilled at cryptography and codes, and is able to twice alert Wraith Squadron to forces attempting to ambush them by picking up supposedly encrypted low-power transmissions that the enemy thought were safe to use. After her death in Wraith Squadron, Runt begins cross-training to pick up the slack. Following the lead of the films, both Empire and Rebellion have communication ships. The Rebels had an unidentified ship stationed at Sullust keeping the rest of the Alliance informed about what was happening at the Battle of Endor, and the Empire was known to use the Allegiance-class battlecruisers for the role and to broadcast battles they were winning to the whole galaxy. The latter got at least the lead ship destroyed, as during the Battle of Dac New Republic reinforcements used the broadcast to home on it and emerge from hyperspace right on top of the Allegiance with guns blazing. |
