Definitions

when a person is appointed to a duty post be is given mission orders. At first glance these are like other MOs. But they are not. One can mix MO types with disastrous results. A person is sent to duty to continue or improve an activity. His orders therefore must not be terminable. Instead each operating target is continuable. They do not end off. Garrison Mission Orders are chiefly concerned with policy and the relevant policy letters (and in CLOs or ships or even in SO orgs to some degree, with FOs and CBOs and various manuals). As garrison missionaires, have different posts, the duties of that post are stressed and on-policy is stressed and what the policy is is stressed. The mission orders are essentially, then, duties to be taken up in rotation and handled. If you list the main duties of the post, assemble the relevant policy and list them as ops, targets to be done until all are in maintain, the MOs are good MOs. The garrison situation is really a major target of working to stabilize, establish and expand an org so that it is permanent. The key to a garrison mission is then continue. (FO 2936)
