THE SURGEON'S RELATIONSHIPS
The surgeon and his staff section interrelate with members of coordinating and
special staffs, as well as with surgeons, of other commands. The surgeon coordinates
medical matters with members of the corps coordinating and special staff, as required.
a. The relationship of the corps surgeon to the surgeons of lower commands
depends in part on the policies of the corps commander. The corps surgeon, however,
directly supervises all health service support for which his commander is responsible
and exercises full authority over the technical aspects of the health service support
system.
