Who is in charge?With the Navy’s organizational structure, all personnel,from the CNO to the newest crew member, know whattheir job is, where they work, and who their supervisoris. Think about being at sea; its midnight and the generalalarm sounds. Are the gun mounts manned by personneltrained to handle them or just by the people that showedup first? What about the repair lockers, the enginerooms, or the bridge?Without an organization that ensures properlytrained personnel manning each billet, our ships couldnot be in a continual high state of readiness.What about a problem in the work space? Who dowe tell about it? Do we tell the department head or thecaptain?Our chain of command works in both directions, upand down. The upper level keeps us informed of thetypes of operations being conducted and what types ofhazards we face. The people in the lower levels mustkeep the upper levels informed of all difficultiesexperienced in the performance of assigned duties.Every level in the chain of command is an integral partof a team. Members at each level must do their part tomake sure their command functions effectively.Flight deck operations are a good example of theeffects of proper organization.
