File: 120596_aacwy_23.txtofficer-in-charge. This proved to be very effective in establishing both a good chain-of-command and in allowing each crewmember to establish an identity with a crew. A two week schedule was developed and updated and a daily schedule was posted the day prior to assigned duties. This seemed to work well. Personnel trained in crew management issues need to be assigned to the aeromedical evacuation control element in a Crew Management Section as part of the Operations Function. Medical crews should report through their chain-of-command to the Crew Management Section. 3. Recommendation: Establish a formal chain-of-command for deployed medical crewmembers within the Operations Function. . . AE. Personnel to establish a Squadron Command Section { (Orderly Room) must be included in UTCs. 1. Observation: Personnel are not trained in taskings normally accomplished by an Orderly Room in active duty unit nor are Orderly Room related positions included in aeromedical evacuation control element UTC . 2. Discussion: Squadron Section Commanders, First Sergeants and Orderly Room Clerks are not included in AECE UTCs or placed on mobility for deployment when AECEs are activated. Each aeromedical evacuation control element and aeromedical evacuation control center should have an orderly room function with personnel properly trained in procedures related to billeting, pay, emergency leave, military discipline, reassignments, and other activities normally performed by an Orderly Room. Although some programs normally accomplished by an Orderly Room may not apply to activated reserve personnel, many do. There currently is no program in place to handle the numerous personnel issues which affect unit morale and discipline. 3. Recommendation: Place Squadron Section Commanders, First Sergeants and Orderly Room Clerks on mobility and include their positions in aeromedical evacuation control element and aeromedical evacuation control center UTCs. Provide training to personnel designated to fill these positions in all orderly room activities such as billeting, pay, emergency leave, military discipline, reassignment, and other related military personnel support functions.
