Joint Operations

• Army LT Sir, the CC needs to submit his
  investigation memo.
• Conroy What is that?
• LT Thats a memo stating that he is conducting
  an investigation.
• C We sent you the S.I.R.
• LT Right Sir, but we need this memo.
• C Regulations require that the CC conduct an
  investigation, why does he need to submit a memo?
  
• LT Thats how its done.

  investigation you would want that in writing.
• LT Sir, we need the memo for the file.
• C Show me the regulation or policy or something
  that requires this memo.
