Driving a desk 

Pejorative term for administrative work done by a military officer from the comfort and safety of headquarters, rather than out in the field where the real danger lies.
To say that Ritter was amazed didn't begin to explain matters. This guy was supposed to be a professional military officer. The taking of human life was part of his job description.

(Clear and Present Danger, by Tom Clancy)
