Comments and Recommendations
Plans and Research Staff
r.a In proposing the organizational structure for the Office of Training set forth herein, it was
recognized that the Director would have need for staff support and assistance which would result
in recommendations for his command action, The Plans and Research Staff was attached to the
Office of the Director in a staff capacity, and out of the line of command, to serve this pur-
pose. Two general categories of staff work were envisioned; one, the analyses of plane, pro-
posals, etc., to determine their impact against the Office of Training, and the development of
recommendations for the Director to guide his action; the second would be concerned with the tech
nical aspects of OTR training and would result in recommendations upon which the Director could
base his operating decisions. The proposed functions express this concept.
In order to conserve the time and effort of the Director, this staff may act as a screening agent
in the processing of all periodic reports, critiques and other evaluations from the training
elements, to remove extraneous and routine matter, and to pass on to the Director only sig-
nificant details.
In order to maintain the channels of command and responsibility proposed for OTR, this Staff
should not assume any command or directive authority. Any action deemed necessary as the result
of the activity of this Staff should be initiated only by an order from the Director.
