The reason this doesn't work with General Hux is because Hux does not have you perform a focus action. Instead it simply assigns a focus token to you, which doesn't trigger the action-related wording of this card.

Since you can only perform one focus action per round (all actions are limited to once per round), you can only trigger this card once per round. However, the card is not limited, so you could equip 2 or 3 onto a ship with multiple crew slots, such as the YV-666 (3 crew), YT-1300 (2), VT-49 Decimator (3), etc. Because of the wording (specifically the word "additional"), the effect stacks. With 2 recon specialists, a focus action is 3 focus tokens; with 3 recons, it's 4 tokens.

What you'd do with all those tokens is another matter... many of these ships don't have great agility so the focus doesn't help that much with defense, and there's a limit to how many times you could attack in a turn. Kanan Jarrus loves focus tokens though, and is arguably able to put them to great use.

There are other ways to stockpile focuses though, e.g. Rey (Crew) or Moldy Crow. I've fielded Moldy Crow + Recon Specialist on Jan Ors before to decent success... a couple rounds of slow-rolling and she can stockpile enough tokens to not worry about her action for a while, and then she can spend those actions on Squad Leader to help allies. I also fought Kanan Jarrus with Rey paired with Lowhhrick and it was a tough fight.
