Summary
The CMO is less a doctor, and more an administrator. The role of the CMO is to organise the Doctors and Researchers working under them, and make sure that all patients to the medbay get treated eventually.
The CMO has the authority to delegate tasks, such as ordering Doctors to do Surgery and telling Researchers to produce certain items. When playing a CMO, it's important to use this authority to avoid becoming swamped with work. If the CMO is not able to give orders effectively, they are essentially a Doctor with a fancy office.
CMO's Duties
- Ensure Patients get treated.
- Ensure Doctors are working, and remain aboard the Sulaco.
- Authorise field work for Doctors (allowing them to travel planetside).
- Make sure Doctors have all the supplies that they need.
