REVIEW 5 QUESTIONS Q1. The chain of command defines the relationship of juniors and seniors in an organization. List the five areas that affect the chain of command. a. b. c. d. e. Q2.   In your organization, you can find out about the chain of command by asking someone in what office? SUMMARY Where do I go? What do I do? Who is in charge? With the Navy’s organizational structure, all personnel, from the CNO to the newest crew member, know what their job is, where they work, and who their supervisor is. Think about being at sea; its midnight and the general alarm sounds. Are the gun mounts manned by personnel trained to handle them or just by the people that showed up  first?  What  about  the  repair  lockers,  the  engine rooms, or the bridge? Without  an  organization  that  ensures  properly trained personnel manning each billet, our ships could not be in a continual high state of readiness. What about a problem in the work space? Who do we tell about it? Do we tell the department head or the captain? Our chain of command works in both directions, up and  down.  The  upper  level  keeps  us  informed  of  the types of operations being conducted and what types of hazards we face. The people in the lower levels must keep  the  upper  levels  informed  of  all  difficulties experienced  in  the  performance  of  assigned  duties. Every level in the chain of command is an integral part of a team. Members at each level must do their part to make sure their command functions effectively. Flight deck operations are a good example of the effects of proper organization. Ships could never carry out  these  operations  without  superior  organization. Every person knowing where to report, what job to do, and  who  to  tell  when  things  go  wrong—that’s organization. 6-16 Student Notes:
