Just curious, afaik in the previous games it was:

ME1 - Pressly
ME2 - Miranda
ME3 - ?

-peace

My memory may be little rusty, but wasn't it said that Liara was the XO of the Normandy in ME3?

Edit: Though I guess it's possible, as the above poster wrote, there was no official XO due to complications/confusion/whatever caused by the sudden Reaper invasion.

I would say either Kaidan or Ashley.

well, the highest ranking Alliance official on board (besides Shepard Kaiden and Ashley) would be either Joker, or Engineer Adams(or whatever the guy in the engines name is). so by rank it should be one of them. but considering how well Joker and EDI operate together (and EDI can run all of Normandys systems herself), it is quite possible there is no official XO, and Joker/EDI just control everything thereby nullifying the need for an XO

There aren't any real XO.

It is a military ship. There is an XO, as an executive officer is always part of the command structure. You need a clear chain of command because in combat there is always the very real possibility that the Commanding Officer will be killed or wounded seriously enough to be put out of action. In his abscence there should be no question about who assumes command.

In this case it is probably the Virmire survivor. The VS is either a Major or a Lieutenant Commander depending on whether it is Kaidan or Ashley, and would be the senior Alliance Officer on the ship.

The other possibility is Adams, since I don't think his rank is ever given.

Can't be him. We never see him give any order or direct anything and he is away for half the game or not even present on the ship. Like I said there is no XO in ME3 period. Anyone on the ship do whatever they want and Shepard has no control over it. Fact.

You don't really see Pressly giving orders either, that doesn't mean he wasn't the executive officer. We are only seeing small snippets of these characters lives, not their entire existence. Just because you don't see a character giving orders in the game doesn't mean that it doesn't happen 'off screen.'

All military units from the company level up have executive officers, as do all military vessels. The Normandy SR2 would have an XO in ME3 as well, it just isn't mentioned in the game.

I don't want to put spoiller but seriously Kaiden or Ashley is still not an option of XO as they can be -spoiller- or -spoiller-. And yes we see both ME1 and ME2 XO (Miranda and Pressly) in command of the ship in both ME1 and ME2.

They are probably the XO *if* they are part fo the Normandy crew. Obviously events can transpire where they are not, in which case I suppose the XO is Adams. Or it could be Adams in either scenario, since I don't think his rank is ever given.

At any rate, there would be an XO whether or not Ashley or Kaidan filled that role. And it wouldn't be an alien.

This.  The Vermire survivor.  Edi is an AI, would not be posted as an XO.  Tranor is a specialist; probably enlisted and as such cannot be an Executive Officer.  Liara is non-military let alone not Alliance. Garus would be the closest non-human on board to qualify as the executive officer.

Ashley and Kaidan's promotions are also heavily played up in the beginning of the game as well.  Both are promoted to traditional XO ranks; Ashley to Lt. Commander and Kaidan to Major.  Adams is a Leutennant.  

Miranda was XO of the Normandy in Mass Effect 2 because the Normandy was effectivly a civilian ship.  Once the Alliance re-appropriated it, military rules come back into play.

I pretty sure during the game once Shepard says: "Joker, you have the ship", when he leaves. Don't know if that's an implication, that he is an actual XO, but still only time during the game Shepard gives helm to someone else and that person is Joker. Of course I might be wrong.

[jakenou]

Joker, Adams or (less likely) Cortez are the only likely candidates for XO. Maybe Liara, but she really has other priorities and isn't part of the Alliance Navy afaik. Kaidan/Ashley have been upgraded to Major status, but they aren't on the ship until half way into the game, and even then you can deny their return. If they are on the ship, they could step into XO position I suppose. Otherwise, it's one of those nameless people hanging around the CIC's galaxy map

[jayred vas normandy]

Adams is a Lt. can't remember when but it is stated during the game

[devSin]

I think it has to be Kaidan, Joker, or Cortez. It probably defaults to Joker when the other two aren't around (or it just goes to Joker, since he's the only one who always remains onboard). It's hard to think of Joker managing personnel, though, and Steve is busy as the makeshift quartermaster. Kaidan would fit, except when both he and Shepard are off the ship.

I believe Adams is ineligible (something about being an engineer or NCO). Whatever the case, I'd let Chakwas captain the ship after she's had a few drinks. See what planets we could crash into.

You are right. I must have missed where that was mentioned in game. I just looked up his entry on the Mass Effect wiki, and his full name and rank is Lieutenant Gregory Adams.

[Zaalbar]

ME3 never states who the XO is, I personally would put it down to player discretion.

[Doofe2012]

Shepard doesn't really use the typical top-down command structure in ME3. It's more like he simply has multiple leaders whom he directly communicates with (EDI, Joker, Traynor, Liara, Adams), and they handle everyone else on the ship.

[Dust316]

The VS answered Andersons radio calls onthe Normandy when they were trying to escape Earth at the beginning I think. They would be my guess...

[darthnick427]

Garrus. Granted I considered him my XO in ME2...

[Katinka]

If it's not Liara then they're probably not too happy about losing their office to her.
