Naval Weapons Officer could be a "Sperr-Waffen-Offizier".(mostly land-based officer who is responsible for ship's weapons and ammunition)
Security Forces are "Sicherheits/Sicherungs-Kräfte", but concerning your abbr OKM= Navy, I'm not sure.
Liquidation Officer could be "Liquidierungs-offizier" but also "Abwicklungs-Offizier".
Can you give sentences mentioning these German words? So I may help you.

Thanks for the info Michi.
The only thing I can tell you about the origin of these is that they were all shown as appointments.
....... was appointed Naval Weapons Officer at ObdM.
....... was appointed Commander of Security Forces West.
....... was the Liquidation Officer at ... Armee Oberkommando.

Dear Doug,
that's not a "Sperrwaffen-Offizier", as I mentioned above.
He is a staff officer, a kind of i.G. but attached to the ObdM.
I guess his rank is "Kapitän zur See or Fregattenkapitän"

Dear Doug,
A Liqidatation-Officer means "Abwicklungs-Offizier".
Dissolving an Army, a Division doesn't mean everything stops concerning this unit.
The Liquidations-Officer's duties are manyfold:
eg One mother wants to know the last position of her son's unit.
Awards to soldiers of the dissolved unit.
There are still soldiers of this units(front-vacation/holidays, sick-off, wounded in hospital...), who must be rallied/mustered for forming this unit again.
The 6th Army was dissiolved after Stalingrad, a new 6th Army was formed a few months later.
MfG Michi

Dear Mitchi
That's terrific but just two more questions about the Abwicklungs-Offizier please. Was this his full-time occupation or would he have had other responsibilities at the same time. Also, was it a Wehrmacht appointment or did each service have it's own.

Dear Doug,
I.) It was his full-time occupation( he needn't to be a member of the dissolved unit), he had also a small staff with him.
II.) I guess it was somewhere within the OKW, so Army, Airforce, Navy & Waffen-SS were included. But don't quote me on that!
MfG Michi
