Don't know if it is still done, but it was once common for a previous CO to write a Letter of Continuity to the receiving CO concerning the transferred officer's strengths, weaknesses, or concerns. Was often advantageous to the transferred officer, i.e. good officer but has spouse or child suffering from **** which should be considered in assignment.
