adjutants
Officers who assist
Adjutants are military officers who assist a commanding officer with administrative duties—handling correspondence, maintaining records, and managing daily operations.
The term extends to civilian contexts for any administrative assistant to an executive.
An adjutant is also a large wading bird of South Asia, the adjutant stork, named for its stiff military bearing as it walks.
