3. As army colonel and commanding officer of the Logistics Section at your installation, you have just learned that an officer under your command will soon be reassigned to work at another installation.

The officer has been working for you on a project to develop official guidance on stockpiling weaponry, and you would like him to stay with the project until it is completed. He has submitted a letter to you, requesting an extension of his current tour of duty in your unit, so that he can finish writing the guidance.

Prepare a formal cover letter to your headquarters, in which you support and justify this officer's request for an extension of duty.
