Psychic Handlers ---- Purpose & Function Within A Detachment

Psychic Handlers at a position of billet, rather than rank. It is expected every Psychic who reaches Master Specialist and any rank over it will be trained on how to function as a Handler and function as one for at least a year. Officers as well can and do serve as Handlers; Psychics embedded within Pathfinder units in particular find their handlers being derived only from PSIOP's numbers.

 

But what does a Handler do? A Handler is a Psychic who holds significant capabilities over one or more Psychic specialization - Such as Memory Men, Telepathy or Sensery. They are subjected to limited psychology classes and CLS classes for the purposes of mentoring new Psychics found within M.I.P.O.D. The connection between a Psychic and their Handler is very strong; It only is surpassed by the natural Psychic links that exist from familial connections.

 

Handlers will be assigned Psychics who they will then oversee. It is their responsibility to see that these Psychics grow with their abilities. Additionally, they monitor Psychics and ensure they are in good health. These Handlers will report the growth of their Psychics to their detachment NCOIC and CO, they can make or break the careers of upcoming personnel.

 

Despite the rank inherited by most Handlers, they are unable to give out orders within a combat environments.
