Overview of Flotilla Staff Officers
The Flotilla Staff Officers (FSO) oversee the various speciality functions within our flotilla's area of responsibility (AOR), in accordance with guidelines (best practices) of the USCG Auxiliary. These positions are assigned by the Flotilla Commander (FC) and the Vice Flotilla Commander (VFC), and report to the VFC. Members that are willing to serve are assigned based on their commitment, capability, and experience of the functional area they are overseeing. All these officers work together to form a cohesive team.Each role requires ongoing assessment of current processes and continuous process improvements based on the concept of Management By Objectives (MBO). MBO involves establishing maintenance and improvement objectives for each function based upon the broader Mission, Vision, and Objectives of the Flotilla as defined by the FC and VFC. Each FSO's objectives should include tactical as well as strategic aspects. The tactical aspects involve ongoing process improvements aimed at the efficiency and effectiveness of that particular function. The strategic aspects involve longer range objectives aimed at enhancing the overall coverage of that function.
