LDO/CWO Applicant Brief What is a LDO/CWO?
A Limited Duty Officer (LDO) is an officer who was selected for commissioning based on his/her skill and expertise, and is not required to have a bachelor’s degree.
The term "Limited Duty" refers not to an LDO's authority, but rather the LDO's career progression and restrictions. LDO’s, prior to WWII, could only advance as far as lieutenant. Later an LDO could be promoted to commander. In the 1990s the ceiling was raised to Captain.
Unlike the Unrestricted Line Officers, LDOs cannot command a warship, aviation squadron, or auxiliary vessel. However, many LDOs command ashore activities
