Oversight Matrix

CommanderVerified May 14, 2026MCO 5040.6KCh Enclosure 1, Chapter 2 - CoRE Functional Areas

Commander Oversight Matrix

One-glance view of every Functional Area where you carry a personal commander action. Each row links to the parent policy. Source verification posture is shown per row.

Authority

MCO 5040.6K, Enclosure 1, Chapter 2 establishes the Critical or Required Evaluation (CoRE) and CoRE Plus Functional Areas every commander is accountable for under the IGMC inspection program. This matrix consolidates the personal commander actions across the 33 functional areas where you carry a signature, an appointment, or a sign-off requirement.

What you sign

Every row below is anchored to an IGMC functional area. The "FA" column shows the functional area number and links to the governing order or instruction, which does not always share the FA number. FA 3750.6 Aviation Safety runs under OPNAVINST 3750.6, and FA 5110.2 Postal Affairs under MCO 5110.4B. Inspections carries no FA checklist and shows its order, MCO 5040.6K. The "Action" column summarizes the personal commander action surfaced by the source order. Verified rows carry the citation's lastVerified date as authoritative. Unverified rows carry a marker; the action statement is awaiting a source-text walk against the originating MCO before being treated as authoritative.

Exception path

Where unit mission, structure, or assignment removes a Functional Area from your scope, document the covering relationship in your CGIP directive. Waivers route to IGMC using the Appendix E template in MCO 5040.6K.
