A background frame work behind the scenes regulated life in BAOR, through careful liaison from early post war (Kreis Resident Officers/Town Majors) right up to the Service Liaison Officers at Endex. They had miniscule staff, lots to achieve at Stadt and Kreis (Town and County) levels and barrow loads of experience at the end. Daily tasks included: Getting exercise approval (widely distributed BAOR form 443 and yards of trace overlays), going out to adjudicate on some of the bigger exercises, talking earnestly to Claims Commission about remedial repair work or placating a farmer who had watched his potato harvest ploughed-in the tracked vehicle way, Agreeing Band Concerts, promoting Anglo-German relations, sitting in behind Anglo German Clubs, Passing on disciplinary files to COs from GE CivPol, passing on debtors details to units for action or arranging the arrival of bailiffs, paternity orders, insurance claims against individuals, and advising how to process these as quickly and competently as possible, Out of Bounds restrictions by the Forces and by local Owners, Visiting soldiers in civil jail/civil hospital after the owner unit had moved on - busy guys. And they all vanished as the Garrisons closed and removed themselves. Head-Office had been Villa Spiritus in Bonn - now handed back and sold-off. But under a preservation order. https://de.zxc.wiki/wiki/Villa_Spiritus
