Colonel (Air Force One — unnamed, S1E16)

A senior military officer responsible for executing orders related to presidential air transport and onboard operations. Present on Air Force One, they respond to direct intercom commands from the President and stand ready to implement departure and security procedures. Their role anchors the aircraft’s procedural chain of command: they coordinate with flight crew and presidential staff, maintain formal discipline under pressure, and ensure logistical compliance during critical moments of executive decision-making. The episode reinforces their function as a professional, rule-bound executor rather than a policy actor.
