The Operators station: two Active Duty slots to start, a third by DMZ level (three with the Vault Edition); each Operator has their own Dog Tag level and Traits.
The Operators station, open from the start: manage your Active Duty Operators, check their status, spend their Traits and pick one to deploy [1]. You start with two slots and unlock a third through DMZ levels; the Vault Edition starts with three [2]. An Operator stays in their slot until you dismiss them, and the same Operator cannot fill two slots; skins can be changed [2].
Each Operator has their own Dog Tag level and Trait Points (Trait Points and trait trees), while the Bank, Stash and crafting materials are shared [2] [3]. An Operator killed in a deployment goes MIA until recovered or dismissed (MIA system); a fully levelled one can Prestige (Operator Prestige and permanent Prestige Traits).
