7. NOVEMBER 2009PRESENTATION RUNNING FOOTER Divisional System The primary role of all in authority, ie Leading Hands and above, is to offer leadership. The Divisional system exists to provide the structure for the Service to achieve that aim. It provides the structure within which a Ship or establishment supervises, develops and trains the members of its company. At the same time, the system provides a framework with which the general welfare of that company can be addressed. The Divisional System is therefore all about effectiveness in war-fighting through efficiency, morale and welfare.
