A unique post within a Fmn / 2* HQ - the incumbent will have direct and regular access to the GOC / Senior Offrs but also to the other principal staff officers and subordinate commanders. Credibility and approachability are key - advice will invariably be difficult and the incumbent must have the confidence to understand when to step in and how to impart this advice. Tact is essential but this must be backed up by the determination to hold the line - protecting Commanders and Service People.
