Serving in a minor capacity

Hi

They knew he traveled the world, often on very little notice, and was gone for long periods of time. This was explained as him serving his country in a minor capacity with the State Department.

I understand he was notified about his trips very late, and he had to leave immediately.

However I'm not sure about him "serving his country in a minor capacity with the State Department"

Hi

So he worked for the State Department but his position was rather unimportant?

Thanks
