The establishment of a mess is a command responsibility and Unit Commanders are directly responsible for the efficient operation and management of the mess". With this as guide GHQ Letter Directive dated 5 Oct 74 was published prescribing the policies and procedures on the operation and management of the AFPCOC later consolidated in an AFPCOC Organization and Regulations Manual published on 16 Jan 75.
