When Henry Blake is away and Frank Burns is in command of the outfit, Hawkeye takes on the duty and responsibilities of Officer of the Day, supervising and handling the menial tasks that the company commander or clerk do not. (Although with Radar around, you'd think that'd only be a little amount). Said duties include examining Korean civilians and suggesting if they need surgery, being in charge of the MP guards and signing various bits of paperwork. MASH being MASH though, things take a bit of a turn when Colonel Flagg arrives with a wounded prisoner.
