Burk was commissioned in the Navy and in both Season 2 and Season 3, was assigned to the USS Nathan James in the Combat Information Center (CIC) under the command of Captain Mike Slattery.

In between Season 3 and Season 4, Burk was promoted from Lieutenant (O-3) to Lieutenant-Commander (O-4.) In Season 4 LCDR Burk was WIA during the attack on Rota Spain by Omar Bin Dalik's forces. The next day, Cameron is flown to Germany for emergency medical treatment and Carlton worries that his brother could lose his leg despite Danny Green's attempts to reassure him. Burk's post as TAO is filled by Kara Green who is allowed by Slattery to resume her old post.

During the fight with Omar at Giorgio Vellek's mansion, Carlton tells the terrorist leader that they have "mad quarrel with you," referencing Carlton's rage over his brother's injuries at Omar's hands. Before fleeing the mansion, Carlton set up a bomb that kills Omar and his men, calling it a gift from the Burk brothers.
