The chain of command is used in the military to designate the proper route of escalation when it comes to issues, concerns, problems, and even ideas. The Royal Manticoran Navy Fan Association, with a few exceptions, has adopted a similar policy of creating and utilizing the chain of command in order to prevent over-tasking of club, bureau, fleet, and chapter leadership. With  over six thousand members, messages could easily clog the inboxes of higher echelon leadership, so it is important that you and your crew understand the principles and practice behind the chain of command. All members of TRMN are required to follow the proper chain of command to the best of their abilities, as laid out in [[Admiralty Order 1503-02]].

As previously stated, members should follow the rungs of the ladder when it comes to the escalation of a problem or concern. Admiralty Order 1503-02 clearly lays out the structure behind following the chain of command. This method has been known to work well, both in the real-world military and in the organization. However, there are some instances where it will be appropriate, and perhaps necessary to skip certain links.

There are times where the member may have a personal issue, or an issue directly pertaining to the chapter Bosun, XO, or CO. This is one of the rare occasions where a particular rung, or even several rungs, can be bypassed directly. Let’s say the member has had issues with not being promoted on time. They have all the time in grade (TIG), promotion points, and testing requirements are done, and they are well overdue that promotion to petty officer first class. If they have asked the CO several times to no avail, they can talk to the Bosun, who may help the member skip the XO and CO to go right to the Fleet CO in order to address this issue. This is an unfortunate, but rare occurrence in the club. The escalation policy helps to make certain there are always solutions when things like this happen.

They have all the time in grade (TIG), promotion points, have completed the requisite coursework, and have been waiting to be promoted to Petty Officer First Class for an unreasonable amount of time past Time in Grade. If they have asked the CO several times to no avail, they can talk to the Bosun, who may help the member skip the XO and CO to go right to the Fleet CO in order to address this issue.
