 COORDINATING STAFF GROUP
C-11. Coordinating staff officers are the commander's principal staff assistants. They are directly

accountable to the COS (XO). They have functional responsibilities over one or a combination of fields

of interest. (See appendix D.) Collectively, through the COS (XO), coordinating staff officers are

accountable to their commander for all their responsibilities. The staff is not accountable for fields of

interest the commander decides to control personally.

C-12. Commanders may designate coordinating staff officers as assistant chiefs of staff, deputy chiefs

of staff, directors, or regular staff officers. These positions generally reflect the degree of authority

the commander delegates to them and the scope and complexity of operations conducted by the

command. However, commanders establish a staff officer's actual authority if it is not inherent in the

position's title.

C-13. Coordinating staff officers' authority is limited to advising, planning, and coordinating actions

within their individual fields of interest. They also exercise planning and supervisory authority over

designated special staff officers. (See appendix D.) Commanders may also delegate to coordinating

staff officers additional authority to act on specific matters within the staff officer's field of interest.
 C-14. Directors have both staff and line authority. For example, directors of logistic

operations might be responsible for operating support activities in addition to their normal

responsibilities. Typically, commanders delegate to directors significant responsibility for

specific functions and the authority necessary to accomplish them.

C-15. Normally, coordinating staff officers have a direct interest in other staff officers' fields

of interest. Clearly defined staff responsibilities are necessary to facilitate coordination and

eliminate conflict. Unit standing operating procedures (SOPs) or organization and functions

manuals contain procedures that specify primary responsibilities and coordination

requirements.

C-16. Coordinating staff officers are responsible for collecting information and analyzing its

implications and impact on the command. More important, coordinating staff officers provide

timely and accurate recommendations to their individual commanders to help them make the

best possible decisions. While doing so, they often request and receive information and

recommendations from special staff officers. They also inform other coordinating staff

officers, as required.
 C-19. Special staff officers usually deal routinely with

more than one coordinating staff officer. For example,

the provost marshal (PM) usually functions under the G-

3, but coordinates with the G-1, G-2, G-4, G-5, and G-7
