support position

Advocating for something

A support position is a role focused on assisting others rather than leading or performing primary functions.

In employment, it typically means administrative, clerical, or technical work that enables frontline operations: She started in a support position before moving into management.

In military or tactical contexts, a support position is a location from which fire or assistance is provided to advancing units.
