If the commanding officer is lethargic, the adjutant must spur him on to greater efficiency.
Therefore, they have to rely on the adjutants.
In this matter, as in any other, an officer who is in any doubt should consult the regimental adjutant or his commanding officer.
It is no part of an adjutant's duties to issue instructions on this subject.
An adjutant has a great many other things to do.
He is to become the adjutant of the garrison.
I was adjutant to a main battle tank regiment during that exact period.
I have two adjutants and a wide district.
