- For protocol purposes, Civilian Aides are ranked just below three-star general officers and are considered the Secretary of the Army's personal representatives. They are appointed to serve for two-year terms. The hours they spend on military activities are voluntary as they serve without pay.
Schenck serves on an advisory panel, the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference.[3] As a member of this panel he was invited to travel to Persian Gulf to tour the USS Ronald Reagan during its first deployment to the Middle East.
