With the new changes the branch chiefs, theorist, and military high command have found their way to the officer corps screen, though for ease of access you may still view and appoint them in the country overview screen like before.

The manner in which you’ll appoint advisors has changed a bit. Paradox have decided during the officer corps development process, to make a bigger deal out of the advisor ‘level’, such as specialist, expert, genius, that all non-theorist advisors possess.

The most important part of cultivating a strong officer corps is the ability to give your trusted commanders advisory roles. Commander traits earned in active combat can make your characters eligible for specific advisory roles.
