These offences are shown in K.R. 1129, and for convenience are set out in App. “A” to this precis. This power of summary disposal does not prevent C.O. from sending accused charged with any of these offences for trial by C.M. when sufficiently serious to warrant punishment beyond his powers.
3. Other offences under A.F.A. normally tried by C.M., but C.O. may in appropriate circumstances apply to A.O.C. to permit summary disposal by C.O.
[Underlined] Charges Against Officers [/underlined]

(a) To prefer charge; or
(b) To administer reproof (K.R. 1154) or
(c) Refer matter to superior authority; or
(d) No foundation for further action.
5. If charge preferred, C.O. will investigate by hearing witnesses’ evidence in presence of accused and:-
(a) Dismiss charge, if satisfied accused not guilty, or insufficient evidence against him; or
(b) “reprove” him if circumstances warrant it – (see A.P. 837, para. 734 (iv)); or
(c) Order a summary of evidence to be taken to consider whether to apply for trial by C.M. or summary disposal by A.O.C. for which see K.R. 1153.
6. For procedure regarding:-
(a) Confidential reports on and courts of inquiry into misconduct by officers.
(b) Administrative action (not amounting to an air force punishment) which may follow misconduct by an officer;
See A. P. 837, paras. 733 to 735A. (Note that C.O. cannot [underlined] punish [/underlined] an officer, “[indecipherable]” not being classed as a punishment under A.F.A.)

(b) Award punishment within his powers, subject where applicable to right to elect trial, or
(c) Order Summary of Evidence to be taken with a view to trial by C.M., or
(d) If offence not punishable summarily, apply to A.O.C. for permission to deal with case.

(a) Subordinate Commander when hearing charges.
(b) Adjutant for P.O.R. and documentary action.
(c) C.O. for reviewing punishments by subordinate commanders.
12. Guard Report F. 160, used:-
(a) For recording details of airmen in close arrest.
(b) By C.O. when hearing charges remanded to him.
[Underlined] Orderly Room Procedure [/underlined]
13. “Orderly Room” – term used to denote procedure by which C.O. or subordinate commander disposes of charges and also hears applications and complaints. Should be held each day if any cases (no objection in war-time on Sunday). Hour for C.O.’s Orderly Room should be laid down in Station Standing Orders, to allow subordinate commanders to investigate in all cases first.
14. Orderly Room procedure, described in App. “B” to this Precis, applies not only to C.O. but also to Subordinate Commander who must thoroughly investigate all matters even if beyond his powers to deal with. Junior Officers should be detailed to attend C.O.’s Orderly Room under instruction.

PRECIS: STATION ADMINISTRATION [/underlined]

K.R. & A.C.I., Chap. XIII, Sec. I.
A.P. 837, Paras. 12 – 17
[underlined] Introductory [/underlined]
1. The complete organisation of a R.A.F. Station consisting as it does of numerous sections with very varied duties, requires good management and control in order to function efficiently. This management is known as administration, the primary purpose of which is to ensure the smooth running of the station.
2. Administrative control is therefore concerned with the marshalling of all available resources so that the fighting or training units can achieve maximum efficiency. The operational effort must not be hindered by administrative detail; administration must at all times keep pace with operational requirements. Thus it is apparent that administration is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
[underlined] Administrative Services [/underlined]
3. The essential requirements of a unit are made available through the following services:-
Equipment – Communications (postal, signals) – Transport – Messing and Catering – Medical – Fire and Gas – Defence – Works Services – Accounts – Clerical Staff – Welfare – Physical Fitness – Education – Chaplains – Service Police.
[underlined] Responsibility of C.O. [/underlined]
4. It is necessary to delegate authority to deal with various aspects of station administration. Nevertheless, no matter what the degree of decentralisation, the ultimate responsibility still rests with the Station Commander. He is responsible for the correlation of the work of the various sections and for the supervision of the duties he has allocated to his subordinates. He is the connecting link between the administrative and functional sections and it is his duty to ensure that both are working with the fullest understanding of each other’s problems.
5. The C.O. should carry out inspections regularly, and appreciate fully the important part that welfare plays in the productive output of any unit. Messing and catering, entertainment, sports, education and help to junior officers all call for the C.O.’s personal encouragement and supervision. To assist him in this work he has an Adjutant and a Station Administrative Officer.
[underlined] The Adjutant [/underlined]
6. The responsibilities of the Adjutant have been considerably affected by the reallocation of station duties which was introduced during 1944. As a consequence, by the transference of many of his routine tasks to the Accountant Officer, he has been relieved of much of his detail work. His primary task is that of Confidential Staff Officer or Personal Assistant to the Commanding Officer. He still retains a few specific duties such as Officers Records, Officers Confidential Reports, Courts of Enquiry and Courts Martial. Such duties are matters requiring the close attention of the C.O. and naturally come within the bounds of his primary function as Confidential Staff Officer.

[underlined] The Station Administrative Officer [/underlined]
7. The reallocation of station duties also affects the S. Ad. O., allowing him to devote more time to outdoor administration. He acts as deputy for the Station Commander in co-ordinating and directing the administrative services on the station. He also acts as a filter through which all administrative routine passes to the Station Commander.
8. He is responsible for the discipline of the Headquarters Unit and normally the Adjutant, Assistant Adjutant, Accountant Officer, Equipment Officer, M.T. Officer and the Medical Officer form part of his Headquarters staff. He is also the channel through which all demands for Works Services pass, a record of which he keeps in the Form 3049.
[underlined] Duties [/underlined]
(a) Co-ordination of Station Administrative duties.
(b) Morale and discipline.
(c) Supervision of the administration of messes and institutes.
(d) Supervision of messing in collaboration with the Catering Officer.
(e) Gas and Fire Services.
(f) Bands and Entertainments generally.
(g) Supervision of preliminary action towards settlement of Service estates.
[underlined] The Accountant Officer [/underlined]
9. The Accountant Officer is also considerably affected by this reallocation of duties. The Assistant Adjutant now comes under the jurisdiction of the Accounts Section, consequently the Accountant Officer has control over the paper work and returns with which he is closely associated.
[underlined] Duties [/underlined]
(a) Station Accounts duties.
(b) Registry.
(c) Registered mail.
(d) Personnel Occurrence Reports.
(e) Periodic Returns.
(f) Employment of civilians.
(g) Railway warrants, Concession vouchers, Petrol coupons, etc.
(h) Clearance Certificates
(j) Airmen’s documents and records.
(k) Control of Orderly Room staff.
[underlined] Control of Sections [/underlined]
10. Unit Commanders may be given full powers of C.O. by Air Ministry, otherwise the Station Commander must delegate powers under K.R. 1141.
11. The S. Ad. O. is usually given disciplinary powers over the Headquarters unit. Personnel of administrative sections come under the senior officer of the section for technical purposes but under the S. Ad. O. for domestic administration. On the other hand, in the functional sections, the personnel come under their flight or section commanders for both purposes.
12. All W.A.A.F. personnel are organised into a section under a W.A.A.F. officer, who is responsible only to the Station Commander and not to subordinate commanders.
[page break]

13. Officer i/c W.A.A.F. section is under the orders of the Station Commander but in the event of disagreement can refer direct to W.A.A.F. (G) officer at Group, copy of correspondence being submitted to C.O.
[underlined] Station Duties [/underlined]
14. To ensure the smooth running and efficiency of any station certain regular duties are carried out daily by permanent members of the unit, the duties being detailed in Station Routine Orders.
[underlined] Station Duty Officer [/underlined]
15. This duty is normally carried out by senior officers, subordinate commanders and specialist officers. No officer below the rank of Flight Lieutenant may be employed. The tour of duty will cover periods normally outside working hours, when the S.D.O. will represent the C.O. of the station. He will receive all important reports and take whatever action is necessary, in the absence of the C.O. He authorises the use of M.T. after working hours. The nature of his duties also varies with the type of station (K.R. 821).
[underlined] Orderly Officer [/underlined]
16. These duties are to be carried out by junior officers below the rank of Flight Lieutenant, working on a roster. Under certain circumstances, warrant officers can be employed (K.R. 820-4) also officers of the equipment and accountant branches below the rank of F.L. as modified by A.M.O. A.756/41. His duties are laid down in K.R. 822, but the C.O. may give additional duties. Tour of duty 24 hours.
Points to be noted:-
(a) Rations checked in and out (K.R. 2666, A.P. 837-478)
(b) Cleanliness of cookhouse personnel (K.R. 1739, A.P. 837-692)
(c) Complaints at meals (K.R. 1735)
(d) Swill. Avoidance of waste (A.P. 837-463)
[underlined] Duty N.C.O. [/underlined]
17. He accompanies the Orderly Officer on his tour of duty for the same period. He is responsible for hoisting and striking the colour, absentees, defaulters, sick parades, etc. Acquaintance with air raid orders, anti-gas orders, defence orders and Station Standing Orders is essential. Tradesmen in all groups are eligible except Group “M”.
[underlined] Duty Medical Officer [/underlined]
18. On stations with more than one medical officer a duty medical officer is to be nominated daily by the senior medical officer of the station and detailed in S.R.O. (K.R. 820-2). His orders are prepared by the S.M.O. and approved by the C.O. Where there is only one medical officer on the station, see K.R. 1499.
[underlined] Duty Pilot [/underlined]
19. These duties have been taken over largely by Flying Control but duty pilots are still maintained on certain stations. Only officers of the G.D. branch or airman pilots are detailed. The tour of duty is 24 hours and is confined exclusively to flying matters. The duty pilot is responsible for aerodrome discipline and control, Met. reports, arrival and despatch of aircraft, accidents etc. (K.R. 823).
[page break]
- 4 -
[underlined] Duty Flight [/underlined]
20. A Duty Flight is detailed at all flying stations, the tour of duty being one week. They are responsible for making all arrangement for visiting aircraft both in and out of working hours and to form the nucleus for salvage parties or guards for crashed aircraft (K.R. 824 A).
[underlined] Station Police, Guards and Sentries [/underlined]
21. Their responsibilities and duties are laid down in K.R. 826 and 1098. Guard and sentry duties must be carried out by station personnel generally. Rosters are drawn up and guards are drawn from them in rotation, Service Police being used only in emergency (A.M.O. A.951/44). All airmen, with the exception of Group “M” personnel and fire instructors are eligible for night guards.
[underlined] Training for Station duties [/underlined]
22. The responsibilities of Commanding Officers for drawing up orders for Station duties are stressed in K.R. 820-3. Junior and inexperienced officers of all branches, except medical, should be attached for instruction to orderly officers and junior G.D. officers, to duty pilots. They should not be employed on full duties until competent (K.R. 820-6). Members of courts martial are available for Station duties when the court is not sitting (K.R. 825). Duties of witnessing officers at pay and clothing parades are laid down in K.R. 2830.

PRECIS – CASUALTY PROCEDURE [/underlined]
Appendices: A – Details of Action by Effects Officer
B – Specimen Message ‘A’
References:- A.P. 1922 (2nd Edition), A.P.1921, A.P. 837 Sect. 48 & 52A. A.P. 1301. Appendix V.
[underlined] Introduction [/underlined]
1. Promptness, accuracy and consideration for the feelings of relatives is essential in all phases of casualty procedure. Peacetime procedure which is laid down in K.R.’s 2309-2323 does not apply in war-time. The present procedure is contained in:-
(a) A.P.1922 – ‘Casualty Procedure in War (2nd Edition)’
(b) A.P.1921 – ‘Procedure for Reporting, Guarding and Salvage of Crashed and Forced Landed Aircraft in United Kingdom.’
[underlined] Definition [/underlined]
2. A casualty for this purpose, may be defined as an occurrence resulting from one or more of the following:-
Flying Battle Casualties or Flying Accidents,
Non-flying Battle Casualties and Accidents,
Death from injury or illness,
Serious or dangerous illness.
[underlined] Reporting of Casualties [/underlined]
3. Casualties are reported immediately by signal to A.M. (P.4 Cas) Command and Group. If an airman is involved, Records are also notified. In the event of an aircraft crash the signal is directed to three further addresses – the Local Salvage Unit, H.Q. 43 Group and A.M. (D.P.A.)
4. The C.O. of the formation or unit having [underlined] first knowledge [/underlined] of the crash or casualty must [underlined] ensure [/underlined] that the reporting signal is sent.
5. The type of signal to be used is laid down in appendices A.B.C.D. to A.P. 1922 and its form must be rigidly observed.
6. There are four categories of casualty signal:-
(a) Message A – for flying casualties & crashed aircraft
(b) Message B – for non-flying battle casualties
(c) Message C – for reporting serious or dangerous illnesses and natural deaths.
(d) Message D – for reporting accidental or self-inflicted injuries, if serious or dangerous or resulting in death.
7. The priority of the signal depends entirely on whether or not the next of kin have been informed of the casualty. If they have been informed, it is “important”; if they have not, it is “immediate.”
[underlined] Notification of Next of Kin [/underlined]
8. The C.O. of the [underlined] parent unit [/underlined] will inform next of kin and “other nominee” immediately by post office telegram, if residing in U.K. or Eire, of all fatal casualties and of personnel on D.I. or S.I. List or Missing. If next of kin or “other nominee” reside overseas, A.M. (P.4 Cas) will notify. Specimen forms of telegram are to be found in Appendix L to A.P. 1922.
[page break]
- 2 -
9. The priority of this telegram depends upon the importance of the time factor. In cases of serious or dangerous illness when the next of kin would wish to know immediately, priority C.A. is used. In all other cases, the priority is C.C.
10. Commanders should ensure that personnel are aware of the importance of prompt notification of changes of address of next of kin or “other nominee”.
[underlined] Funerals [/underlined]
11. After a lapse of about twelve hours, if next of kin reside in U.K. or Eire send a reply paid telegram in the form laid down in Appendix I to A.P.1922 to ascertain the type of funeral desired by the next of kin. The types of funeral that may be offered are:-
(a) Service funeral in cemetery near R.A.F. Station (if Service plots are available)
(b) Service funeral at nearest R.A.F. Regional Cemetery
(c) Private funeral at place selected by next of kin.
In the first two cases all expenses are paid from public funds. In the case of a private funeral, coffining and transport are a charge against the public and a grant of £5 is made but all other expenses are borne by the next of kin.
12. If next of kin wish to view the body, dissuade them, unless they have reasonable grounds to doubt identification.
13. Attendance at private funerals of a representative (if possible of parent unit) should be ensured.
14. When burial takes place at a Regional Cemetry, [sic] a modified ceremony is first held at the Station which the relatives may attend. The Chaplain and/or other representatives of the Station should attend at the Regional Cemetery.
15. If next of kin are abroad, arrange for burial at nearest Regional Cemetery, A.M. being given full particulars of time in order that next of kin may be notified in advance.
16. A letter of sympathy is to be sent to the next of kin written by the Unit commander. If for any reason he cannot do so it must be sent by the Station Commander. It is important that such letters are signed personally and not delegated to a Junior Officer Before writing consult A.P.1922 paras. 48 – 71.
[underlined] Coroner’s Inquest [/underlined]
17. It is not necessary to notify the coroner in the case of a death due to “war operations” (includes non-operational flying). Coroner must be notified in cases of natural death (if no doctor is in attendance) or self-inflicted or accidental deaths (other than flying accidents).
18. The Registrar of Births-Deaths is to be notified of deaths due to war operations which occur in the U.K. For such notification the Form A.F.W.D. is used.
[underlined] Burial in the Field. [/underlined]
19. The R.A.F. Pocket Book and the War Manual Part II give details of the Burial service.
[page break]
- 3 -
20. The collection and burial of the dead is the responsibility of the parent unit. Identification is important and scattered graves should be avoided, if possible, by using Service cemeteries. The correct rendering of the Burial Return, F.1755 is essential so that the grave is not lost.
[underlined] Disposal of Effects [/underlined]
21. Standing Committee of Adjustment at Central Depository, Colnbrook, deals with Service estates of officers, airmen and airwomen serving in this country, who die, or are reported missing or prisoners of war.
22. Officer detailed to carry out action at Station is known as Effects Officer. At many operational stations, permanent Effects Officer has been appointed.
23. Immediately it is known personnel have died, been killed, or are missing, Effects Officer must be notified so he may take INSTANT action to collect and safeguard all effects on station. Take special care to safeguard small items of intrinsic and/or sentimental value, e.g. rings, cigarette cases, watches etc.
24. Effects to be collected are those in R.A.F. custody, e.g. on station, in billets or at hospital, but not effects at e.g. home of a living-out officer. In cases of Dominion and Allied personnel, however, when known any property not in R.A.F. custody exists, particulars must be reported to S.C. of A.
25. Effects Officer is then to take action as detailed in Appendix “A” to this precis and ensure that effects are despatched to S.C. of A. within 14 days. (Ref. A.P.837 para. 1308).
26. To safeguard property A.M. have ordered that at “briefing time”, facilities shall be accorded to all aircrew to deposit small valuables with briefing officer.
27. Full details concerning disposal of effects are given in A.P.1922 Section IX and A.P.837 para. 1308. This para. also gives instructions in the cases of Dominion and Allied personnel.

Repatriation and Releases Abroad [/underlined] (A.P.3093 Chaps. IX and X)
13. Provision has been made for the repatriation at public expense of persons who were normally resident abroad and who came to this country to enlist in the Armed Forces. Similarly persons who are serving abroad may be released in the country in which they are serving.
(a) Once release is accepted, rights to free repatriation are forfeited
(b) Persons who wish to be repatriated or be released in the country in which they are serving must produce evidence of the agreement of the Government concerned.
(c) Those released abroad or repatriated will not be liable to recall.
[underlined] Compassionate Releases [/underlined] (A.P.3093 Ch. IV Sect. 2)
14. Applications should be submitted to C.Os who should forward them with recommendations to Group H.Q. Group H.Q. should consider if release for a definite period under the present regulations will satisfy the case of an airman or airwoman before forwarding the application for indefinite release to Air Ministry for decision. Commands overseas can authorise local release or repatriation pending release on compassionate grounds.
15. Compassionate releases are referred to as Class C and applications must be fully supported by independent corroborative evidence. A.P.3093 Para. 129 gives examples of possible grounds for class C release.
[underlined] Action to Ensure Simultaneous Release in Class A. [/underlined]
16. Air Ministry will promulgate advance groups three months ahead, and overseas commands should take immediate action to ensure that personnel due for release are available in the U.K. at the same time as their counterparts in home commands. (.A.M.O. A.503/45).
[underlined] Interview of Personnel [/underlined]
17. When a group is promulgated C.O.s must interview each individual to ascertain whether he wishes to be released and to complete the certificate in the Service and Release Book which states that the man has no complaint or other outstanding matter.
[underlined] Replacement of Releases [/underlined]
18. The Unit must then send a return of those who can be released without replacement and a return of those who require replacement to Group and Command Headquarters in the case of officers and airmen aircrew and to Records in the case of ground airmen and airwomen. (A.P. 3093. Paras. 208 – 213).
[underlined] Notification to Dispersal Centres [/underlined]
19. When an individual is free for release a special card is sent by the Unit to the P.D.C. nearest his home. The P.D.C. return part of the card showing the date on which the individual must report. If an individual is delayed, the P.D.C. must be informed by signal and the process started again by a second card. The individual must take second part of the card, showing the date he is to report, with him to the P.D.C.
[page break]
[underlined] Page 4.
Return of Released Personnel not sent to P.D.C. [/underlined]
20. To ensure that individuals are not held without good reason after their group has been promulgated units must send to Group H.Q. a fortnightly return of personnel whose release has been authorised but who have not yet gone to P.D.C. Retention of persons due for release can be authorised only by A.M. (A.P.3093 Para. 227)
[underlined] Leave, Pay, Allowances [/underlined]
21. All queries about leave, pay, etc., and travelling claims for the journey must be settled before the individual leaves his unit.
[underlined] Kit [/underlined]
22. Stations will forward the heavy kit of officers direct to their homes at public expense.
[underlined] Documentation [/underlined]
23. It is essential that the ordinary service documents of personnel should be available on the station complete and up to date. Most of the documents for release of an individual are bound into a Service and Release Book much of which must be carefully completed in Units before the man goes to P.D.C. Accounts forms are bound separately.
24. S and R. Books, accounts forms, service documents and a nominal roll in triplicate must be made up in packages and taken to the P.D.C. in the hand of the senior member of the party. Separate packages must be made for officers, airmen aircrew, ground airmen, and airwomen.
[underlined] Action at Dispersal Centre [/underlined]
25. The action at the P.D.C. is completed in a matter of hours, and may be summarised as follows:-
(a) Medical inspection
(b) First payment of pay and allowances for leave
(c) Complete S. and R. Books and return to individual
(d) Withdraw Forms 1250 R.
(e) Issue clothing, or cash and coupons in the case of W.A.A.F.
(f) Dispatch to home address
26. The part of the S. and R. Book remaining with the individual contains the forms for his return to civilian life.
(a) Authority for release
(b) Certificate of service (airmen and airwomen)
(c) Application for National Identity Card, and ration books
(d) Railway warrant
(e) Remobilisation instructions.
(f) Instructions for obtaining medical aid on leave.
[underlined] Treatment of Deserters [/underlined] (A.M.O. A.483/45)
27. Any man who is convicted of desertion after February, 1945, will forfeit all previous service for purposes of release.
Service may be restored by A.O.C. in C. :-
[page break]
[underlined] Page 5.
Treatment of Deserters (A.M.O. A.483/45) [/underlined]
27. (Contd.)
(a) On recommendation for an award or a mention in despatches or Kings commendation by an officer not below the rank of Wing Commander
(b) On promotion to Sergeant
(c) On completion of 18 months service without entry on Service conduct sheet
(d) On receipt of a Good Service Certificate under A.M.O. A.193/43.
Service may also be restored in exceptional cases with individual approval of Air Council.
28. It should be realised that there are other factors which discourage desertion. A man cannot get an identity card, ration book, or clothing coupons without going through the process of release; he would forfeit the benefits of normal release and he would find it almost impossible to get employment.
