1. the command line from External HCO Flag and External HCO FOLOs to orgs runs via the Flag Management Bureau. There is no other command channel. The functions of External HCO are quite different than those in HCOs of orgs, and serve to augment and back up activities already underway in orgs, as well as to serve in the direction and establishment of the international growth of Scn. External HCO Flag has the final say on all HCO matters. External HCO duties are: (1) to ensure adequate recruitment and hiring in Sea Org and Scn orgs, and that all newly recruited and hired personnel are properly routed and trained prior to posting as well as after. (2) to ensure that all orgs post their personnel correctly, and that proper org form and complements are used to achieve maximum production, in the orgs. (3) to ensure the administrative upkeep of personnel files in all organizations, and the upkeep of the Central Personnel Office files, where records of every staff member of every org and operation past and present are kept. (4) the training of personnel for future expansion programs, and their placement. (5) to ensure that communications in the form of issues are produced in abundance, so that management can occur and knowledge can be exported and thereby used. (6) to ensure that justice and ethics procedures are followed. Also that the rights of individuals are protected, and that adequate correct justice or ethics is applied for maximum production to occur. (BPL 13 Aug 73R 11)
