It also executes other projects. but all these are to assist getting in ethics or to assist the Sea Org itself. The general income of the Sea Org is obtained from a percentage of general income of orgs and billings to orgs for mission services. It is obvious that if ethics is gotten in, tech will rise, admin will be possible and stats will soar in orgs. If the Sea Org can clean up an org or area then it will be possible for tech to be gotten in, in that area. If tech can be gotten in, then it is obvious that admin can be gotten in. Tech and admin are left to service orgs. The Sea Org gets in ethics. To get in ethics it is necessary to have org and area statistics and personnel and ethics records available. Flag keeps the personnel and ethics and statistics records of its own members and those of the CLOs and service orgs. CLOs keep the personnel and ethics and statistics records of their own members and of the orgs. Orgs keep the personnel and ethics and statistics records of their own areas. To handle downstat orgs and areas the Sea Org simply gets in ethics. This is done in such a way as to enable that org or area to get in tech, which makes it possible then for them to get in admin. In order to do this we send out missions. These have unlimited ethics powers and enough force to accomplish their purpose of getting in ethics. The attitude and repute of the Sea Org must be more than adequate to accomplish the desired result. MISSIONS Only personnel of proven calibre may go on a mission. Bad ethics records or unchanged from bad past ethics records may not be sent on a mission. Exception is members of Flag or a CLO who will not be handling the mission. Missions are planned by the evaluator. Mission Orders are written by Action Branch (or as assigned by evaluator). Missions are staffed by Bureau 1 by providing adequate personnel into the Missionaire Unit. Missionaires are selected by the Chief Missionaire and assisted as necessary, by Bureau 1 who sees that the missionaire's post is held from above or by a deputy. Missions are briefed by Action Branch, Financed by Bureau 3 who handles all admin necessary after receiving the finance CSW from Msn Preps, Operated by Bureau 4, Action Branch, Debriefed by Bureau 4, Data Branch, Re-undertaken if necessary by Bureau 4, Action Branch, Msn Review Section, Corrected by Bureau 5, Billed for and collected by Bureau 3. As nearly as possible, personnel for a mission are taken from a Bureau area or unit which handles a function similar to the mission's purpose. The Sea Org has a Missionaire Unit established. However, anyone who is eligible may be sent on a mission. He otherwise performs Sea Org duties. It is necessary then that the Sea Org's ethics records of its own personnel be complete and correct and that personnel/ethics folders are marked ME for "Mission Eligible" and MI for "Mission Ineligible." We must be able to trust absolutely our mission personnel. Wenever accept complaints about Sea Org personnel from other units, orgs or areas. A mission campaign bar is awarded when a Sea Org member completes a mission which is assigned Normal or above. Small stars are added to the bar for each additional mission completed which gets assigned Normal or above. This bar is worn with other campaign bars on a Sea Org member's dress uniform jacket just above the left breast jacket pocket. On return. a mission is debriefed by Data Branch. It turns over all its photographs, documents and records to the Debriefer and its finance receipts to Bureau 3. Debriefing is done by tape recorder and notes by the Debriefer AT ONCE on mission return. Missions may not recount a mission to others before debrief. The debrief is per CBO 366, MISSION DEBRIEF FORM. Personnel being sent on new missions must study, in Briefing, the records and tapes of earlier-similar missions as these exist. RESULTS Mission results are divided into these classes. They are assigned by the Debriefer from the mission results 6 weeks after the mission is completed. POWER RESULT: Extremely successful mission - got in ethics in such a way that stats thereafter soared and the Sea Org repute was greatly enhanced during the mission. AFFLUENCE RESULT: Very successful mission. Ethics was gotten in, stats thereafter rose well and Sea Org repute was assisted. NORMAL RESULT: Successful mission. Ethics was gotten in and stats rose and Sea Org repute not harmed. EMERGENCY RESULT: Indifferent success. Stats did not rise and Sea Org had to be re-promoted in that area. Result flashed in personnel file of all mission personnel and leader becomes MI. DANGER RESULT: Sea Org leaders had to intervene and issue orders to get mission going again or continue. Stats did not rise. Sea Org repute harmed. Mission target had to be reviewed. All personnel of mission investigated and leader and all those of the mission found culpable labelled MI. Flashed in all personnel files of that mission. NON-EXISTENT RESULT: Mission did not reach objective or did not do its duty. Stats fell. Sea Org repute damaged. Mission had to be re-undertaken by others. All personnel become MI and reduced to swampers. Pay suspended. LIABILITY RESULT: Mission did not do its duty but did something else or it did not try. Stats collapsed. Sea Org repute badly damaged. All personnel reduced to swampers with a condition of Liability. Pay suspended and mission personnel fined. TRAINING All Sea Org personnel must be trained in mission duties, must have an Org Exec Course with Ethics star-rated, must have training in judo and weaponry, all in addition to their own duties. Obviously the Sea Org must be ethically beyond reproach, tough, formidable and effective. L.
