1. an aide in a
bureau (
Flag, CLOs, OTLs,
Org Liaison Office) is defined as the
bureaux specialist and
leading officer for that
division, internal and external, in all its functions. Aide is the
title of a
Flag Staff Officer on
Flag. "
Assistant aide" is the
title in a
CLO. The
org equivalent in duties and
hat is a
divisional secretary. In the
case of an aide it is understood that the person aided is the
Commodore. In the
case of an
assistant aide, the person aided is the
Flag aide.
(CBO 52) 2. an aide has a certain exact part of the functions of the
org board to
handle and keep going in all
Scn, SO and
Scn orgs. They could be considered the head of a
division or function of a planet-wide
org board. When that part of the planet-wide
org board declines or is in trouble, it is the aide who is held responsible. Similarly, when the
area is
upstat it is the aide who is commended.
(FO 2945) 3. an aide, by
definition, has to be an expert on the
Data Series and how to conduct investigations. Otherwise an aide will consistently operate on "
whys"
derived from a
dispatch line. The
bulk of an aide's duties should consist of discovering, tracing, finding the
data about and the real
whys of situations and then getting ideas to
handle them and
programming and
handling them. The remaining
time at the disposal of an aide should be spent in implementing programs that have already been
released to
handle things and getting them in fully and completely.
(FO 3064) 4. the duties of an aide and an
assistant aide could be

(1) assistance to the
Commodore,
(2) assistance to their
FB and

(3) administrative duties (including dispatches),
(4) evaluations,
(5)

(6) implementation of existing programs including logging compliances,

(FO 3064) 5. an aide in the

(c) each
