THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT The bridge that binds the Commanding Officer with his Departments and Divisions is the Executive Department headed by the ship's second in Command, the Exec, He as general manager, is director and coordinator of the everyday functions that keep the Olmsted in business. Guided by the skipper's policies, Navy doctrine and customs, the Executive Officer publishes the Plan of the Day, orders and memoranda, mindful of the ship's purpose and locale of operations. The l88's white collar workers are the yeomen and personnel men in the Captains Office and the Ship's Office. The former has handled in the past year, over 7,500 pieces of incoming and outgoing mail consisting of directives, publications and reports. The latter's responsibility lies in the completeness and accuracy of the records of over 390 men aboard, liberty lists, special requests chits, boat schedules, leave papers and the Plan of the Day. The handling of paperwork that the Navy is notorious for is a never ending, but a very necessary task aboard ship. Another important part of the Exec Dept is the Combat Cargo Officer. Each APA and AKA of the amphibious forces normally has in its regular complement a Marine Officer assigned duty as ship transport quartermaster. He is detailed to duty directly under the Exec Officer and is responsible for the coordination with embarking troop units and appropriate heads of departments for plans for the embarkation and debark- ation of troops and their cargo. WWE FOQCL C Another function of the Exec Dept is the enforcement of discipline and order as promulgated by the Captain and the Exec Officer. The means by which this is accom plrshed is' the Master At Arms Force or Ship's Police. Distasteful as their job may be fVls: holding reveillei without them the crew would suffer from the Confusion inherent nAC1HlylOrge group of men confined to a limited area. Under the cognizance of the A5 'S l'V'n9 fiOft1partments, the messdeck, a combination lounge and cafeteria, the messmen who l0'l 'n The QC1ll6'y, scullery and messdeck and the ship's lost and f0Ul'ld department, the lucky bag. lt is easy to see why the Exec Dept is a force without which we could not operate Not without a profit at any rate.
