Administrative Department

The Administrative Department is the heart of the SCP Foundation; Without it, nothing gets done. This department includes all communication nodes and command centers; every such node and center has a standby for failure redundancy. The jurisdiction of AD also include whole Foundation's financial operations, like disposition of funds, accountancy, budget planning etc. Due to the importance of this department, loyalty checks are more frequent here than anywhere else. The record-keeping office also belongs to this department. In Area-17, the Administrative Department refers to the Department responsible for communication between all other departments, as well as running the Foundation from a facility and operational standpoint. It is one of the smallest departments by overall personnel (save for the Ethics Committee), yet is responsible for the most important parts of the Foundation.

Overview:
The O5 Council (Also referred to as the Overwatch Council, Overseer Council, and O5 Command) refers to the committee consisting of the highest-ranking directors of the Foundation. With complete access to all information regarding anomalies in containment, the O5 Council oversees all Foundation operations worldwide and directs its long-term strategic plans. Due to the sensitivity of their positions, O5 Council members must not come into direct contact with any anomalous object, entity, or phenomenon. Furthermore, the identities of all O5 Council members is classified; all council members are referred to only by their numeric designation (O5-1 through O5-13). Each member of the Overseer Council is also responsible for one department, with one member taking the role of an 'archivist'.
