I really don’t know much about either domain, but by mentioning law clerks, maybe you’re suggesting that the flag officer assistant role serves as a special tour/marker of status that is awarded for especially promising officers.
This seems fascinating because these particular institutions work well in the US (probably), so understanding them seems useful to apply them to other domains. Also these paths might govern and control who ends up in these important positions (admirals, generals, judges).
If you have more thoughts about these institutions, incentives, operations, it would be great to read!
