Commodore sMessenger OrgInternationalThe COMMODORE S MESSENGER ORG

(CMO) earned its name on the Flag Ship Apollo,where its original members acted as messengers forL. Ron Hubbard, the Commodore of the SeaOrganization. The CMO s functions have changedover the years and expanded, but the name isretained showing its connection to Source.

CMO International (CMO Int), the senior CMOorganization, has the function of executing woeorders as well as providing woe with the informa-tion it needs. Continental and area CMO units areunder and operated by CMO International.

The CMO is the enforcement and execution armof the Watchdog Committee. When WOC issues anorder to a management unit, while it would expectthat unit to comply, the CMO would verify theFACT of compliance. Reports on the true state ofaffairs within management would be supplied toWDC by the CMO units which are located next tothe different management ergs or units. The CMOunits form a parallel network, autonomous to themanagement lines, which reports to the WatchdogCommittee and enforces its orders, thus achievingits purpose of putting management units there andseeing that they manage.

These basic functions of the CMO are carried outby doing investigations, reports, executing pro-grams and operating missions as req uired by woe

The Flag Bureaux, headed by the CommandingOfficer FB has a nine-Bureaux o rg board. (Abureau in a Sea Org management org is equivalentto a division in a service org.) Each Bureau is headedby an Aide, who is responsible for hi s oppositenumbered division in te rnationally . For instance, theDissemination Aide is responsible for DisseminationDivisions interna tiona lly. Each Aide has a deputywho cares for the internal functions of that Bureauwithin the FB.

The Aide is responsible for seeing that hisdivision is fully established and functioning in allorgs. He accomplishes this by executing the 339Rimplemen tation programs, provided by the International Executives of th e Senior Executive Strata ,into his divisions via the Assistant Aides in theFOLOs.

WISE INT executes marketing and publicrelations programs to expand WISE s membershipand sells material with the administ rative technology of L. Ron Hubbard, specifically compiled forits public by International Managemen t.

To assist it in carrying out its functions, WISEINT has Continental level WISE offices which arepart of th e Continental Liaison Offices . Their jobincludes signing up members and seeing that theyare ac tive and ethical in using and disseminating theadmin istrative tech in their continental areas.

The WISE sector has a huge poten tial forexpansion, since the business world is aware bothof its need for a workable administrative technology, and their present lack of such tech. It is thejob of WISE INT to fill the public demand in thisfield and thereby hand le a major and vital aspect oftoday s society.

ASSOCIAT ION FOR BETTER LIVING ANDEDUCATION INTERNATIONAL A BLE Int) is theorganization responsible for assisting the expansionof th e different social reform ac tivities which usethe technology of L. Ron Hubbard to hand le themajor soc ia l woes affecting th e society .

Th ese social reform activities handle:- DRUG abuse, by rehabilitating drug users

through the applica tion of L. Ron H ubbard s technology . Drug abuse is one of the worst plag ues oftoday s society, and is recognized as such by a verylarge ma jority of the world population. Reformgroups such as th e NARCONON Centers headedby NARCONON INTERNAT IONAL, dedicated tothe eradication of this social disaster with the application of L Ron Hubbard s technology, are th eONLY social reform groups on Earth with a workab le technology for terminatedly handling thisproblem.

- The rehabilitation of EDUCATION throughapplication of L. Ron Hubbard s study technology.The level of education and literacy is continuouslyworsening. Businesses and individuals are becomingmo re and more aware of this fact. Entire populations have been kept suppressed by denying theman adequate education and thus the abi li ty to learnand beco me cause. The salvation of this plane t andits future generations depend in no small measureon the education reform groups-such as theAPPLI ED SCHOLASTICS gro ups, headed byAPPLIED SCHOLASTICS INCORPORATEDINTERNATIONAL and the EDUCATION ALIVEgroups- which rehabilitate the entire field ofeduca tion throug h the dissemination andapplication of the ONLY workable studytechnology: L.

- MORALS. Denigration and violations of th emoral values which are the indispensiblefoundations of a civilized socie ty are continuouslyrising, threatening the survival of Man on Earth.The absence of any workable moral code haddoomed any attempt to handle until L. RonHubbard wrote a non-religious moral code ca lledTHE WAY TO HAPPINESS which, when adheredto by the world at large, will revert the co nt inuousdegradation of th e current civilization. THE WAYTO HAPPINESS FOUNDATION groups, headedby THE WAY TO HAPPINESS FOUNDATIONINTERNATIONAL, are dedica ted to th e broad distrbution and application of this new moral code, upowhich the survival of every one of us depends .

ummaryThe basic form of the Command Channels is asfollows:WATCHDOG COMMITTEE covers sectors. It is

an inspection and policing organization and does notitself manage. It puts management units there andsees that Scientology Organizations are properlymanaged. It ha s a parallel policing organization tomanagement, the COMMODORE'S MESSENGERORGANIZATION, which polices the activities of a llmanagement orgs. There is a Commodore sMessenger Organization located next to eachmanagement organization (Flag Command Bureauxand each Continental Liaison Office).

The EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR INTERNATIONALand his SENIOR EXECUTIVE STRATA cover theFUNCTIONS which make orgs run in all the sectorsof Scientology and coordinates these functions inthem. It is the st rategic level of management andprovides planning and tactical steps to get thatplanning done.

FLAG COMMAND BUREAUX gets the planningprovided by the SENIOR EXECUTIVE STRATA inthe form of strategies, evaluations and programs,executed in the individual organizations via itsCONTINENTAL LIAISON OFFICES. It is the tacticalleve of management and is an implementation bodysolely concerned with getting things done. The CLOsare the execution arm of the FLAG COMMANDBUREAUX in their respective geographical areas.

The service organization executives are ultimatelyresponsible for expanding their organization to thesize of old Saint Hill. Management actions do notabsolve these executives from any of that responsibility. Org executives must still see that the orgaccomplishes its overa ll purpose as laid out in LRHED 339R The coordination of the org or unit sactivities so it accomplishes its purpose, comes fromthe Executive and Advisory Counci ls and inDivisional and staff meetings.

Scientology is a very large movement which comprises many different sectors, all dedicated to makingthe technology of L Ron Hubbard known and applied.

International Scientology counts over 600 se rviceorgs, missions and units in all th e co ntinents of the

world. Its management st ructure ex ists solely to h elpthe service orga nizations and units service the publicand deliver Scientology to people so they get up TheBridge to Total Freedom.

While Scientology is big and is the fastest growingmovement on Ea rth , it is our in tention that it growseven bigger and faster. We do not have an infinity oftime to clea r this planet. We are actually engaged in arace against time. This society is on a downtrend, andthe rising stat is tics of crimes, drugs and economictroubles around the world show it. We have the onlyworkable technology which can crea te a new civilization here on Earth. It is our responsibility to makethis technology known and to get it applied.

In order to do this we need all service organizationsto be above th eir make-b reak point and expanded toand beyond the size of the old Saint Hill. We need thousa nds of Scientology missions which contact and introduce new public to Scientology and get them on theirway up The Bridge to Total Freedom . We need thousands of field auditors who audit. The World Instituteof Scientology Enterprises, the social reform groupssuch as Narconon, Applied Scholastics and EducationAlive, The Way To Happiness Foundation, Criminonneed each to be as big as the rest of Scientology.

Management is there to help you ma ke this happenThe intention of all management activities is to helaccomplish the purpose of expanding organizations

which FREE PEOPLE That is the ONLY reason orgs,units and management exist. And that is the overallcoordinating fac tor of all activities in Scientology.

With properly posted and used terminals at variousmanagement echelons, including the org execu tiveand ad councils, responsible each one in turn for theareas below them and held responsible for the stats othose areas and with all networks established andperforming their proper functions, an unprecedentedexpa nsion of Scientology is guaranteed.

With every organization, every unit, every staffmember knowing and accomplishing their purpose,function and duties with 100 on-policy and in-tech,we are go ing to rapidly clear this planet.

Let's make it happen.
