Upon assuming a new assignment and continually thereafter, a unit head will critically evaluate all aspects of command, review existing policies, procedures, and programs to determine if the need for which they were enacted remains unchanged. Existing budget requests will be reviewed to ensure that any changes made or contemplated have not rendered the requests obsolete.

Upon a change of command, the unit head being replaced will lend her/his full assistance in making her/his command transition as smooth and orderly as possible. Orientation of a new unit head should include information concerning unique problems of the command and assistance in continuing community and professional contacts relative to the command.
