Facilities shall have an FWS on duty at all times during hours of operations and be designated by whom?

The main idea is that there must be a clear, authorized person in charge to supervise facility operations during all operating hours. The person designated as the Facilities Watch Supervisor (FWS) is appointed by the Commanding Officer. This ensures there is a single, accountable authority responsible for monitoring safety, coordinating with other units, and initiating procedures as needed throughout the shift. The Commanding Officer holds the overall responsibility for the facility’s safety and readiness, so this designation aligns with that ultimate authority. Other roles like Flight Operations Manager, ATCFO, or LCPO have important duties in their areas, but they do not hold the command-level authority to appoint the on-duty FWS for the entire facility.
