Major CDRs Training Symposium : Major CDRs Training Symposium TRAINING CAPT Bill Johnson Continuous Training = Continuous Readiness


CNSF VisionCNSF 211616Z Mar 05 : CNSF Vision CNSF 211616Z Mar 05 Must be able to quickly deliver “the RIGHT FORCE with the RIGHT READINESS at the RIGHT COST” A continuous training philosophy is a fundamental enabler of the Fleet Response Plan Training is the “center of mass” Essential to operational excellence Areas of major near term focus: Continue to energize waterfront leadership to take charge Expand SHIPTRAIN to transition from current 16 week unit level training plan to continuous training readiness and certification within 2 years


Major Changes : Major Changes Fleet Response Plan Provide adaptable, flexible and sustainable forces SHIPTRAIN is CNSF’s primary means to produce crews ready for tasking through four phases Maintenance Basic ULTRA-C/E ULT Integrated COMPTUEX Sustainment JTFX / ULTRA-S / Deployment


Major Changes : Major Changes Assessments every 4-7 months Flexible to meet OPSKED Not in C5F AOR due to limited data availability Transition from old 16 week Unit Level Phase to a culture of continuous training and certification Use of TFOM to track and report readiness Greater ISIC involvement!


Major Changes : Major Changes Battle E now the Battle Effectiveness Award Requires 4 of 6 command awards vice 4 of 5 and satisfactory ORM program Adds Command Efficiency Excellence Award – Purple ‘E’ Other award changes: Ships qualifying for Red ‘E’ must meet minimum required equipment during all ULTRA events FST-U participation added to Unit Tactics Award


Transition Terminology : Transition Terminology


Transition Milestones : Transition Milestones Assessments start with ULTRA-C/E Every 24 months; 2 weeks long ; includes AT/FP and Engineering Must include underway period Populates TFOM; leads to tailored training ULTRA-E goal is to validate Engineering Operations Certification (EOC) ITT Week Intent is to complete remaining training events from ULTRA-C/E not assessed TFOM Blue or higher FEP - Follows ITT week Goal is at least TFOM ‘BLUE’ in all mission areas; Surge Ready!


Transition Milestones : Transition Milestones ULTRA-S 2-3 day event every 4-7 months post-FEP (includes while deployed) Objective is to verify common standards are in place and TFOM is effectively used. Expected outcome is ATG assessed TFOM is +/- 10 of ship’s self assessed TFOM. Unit level assess, train, certify methodology Self assessment effectiveness is crucial Use TORIS / TFOM to track and report readiness FOM based on 90-day rolling average TFOM range + integrated (int) training = Color Code    T1(100-90.00) T2(89.99-80.00) T3(79.99-70.00) T4(69.99-0.00)

Business Rules : Business Rules Unit Level Phase training process business rules TFOM data reports ULTRA process Amphibious Specialty Training (AST) Certification periodicities Restricted Operations FST-U guidelines Credit for ‘real world’ ops and exercises: Go for it, but use Training Teams to assess Cert expiration and suspended cert policy


Critical NEC/Schools Initiative : Critical NEC/Schools Initiative Current SFTM Requirement 80 percent graduates/20 percent confirmed quotas Frequently meet certification proficiency requirements but cannot certify due to personnel Inaccurate measure of Readiness for Tasking Inefficient use of TADTAR and lower Return on Investment than if Sailor trained en route New Requirement (Critical and Essential Schools) Implemented 01 April 2007 COMNAVSURFOR SAN DIEGO CA//N7// 201506Z MAR 07 Critical—needed to align/operate system or conduct tactical planning/task to accomplish proficiency CCR, or required as pre-req for Sustainment (INT/ADV Operations) Essential—need to maintain some skill on ship Only critical count toward achievement/maintenance of Unit Level Certification standard—related to TFOM proficiency measurement


SFTM School Business Rules : SFTM School Business Rules Critical NEC Meet 100 percent requirement If 100 percent not met, but can meet associated proficiency CCRs as indicated by TFOM >80 (BLUE/GREEN) Can certify in mission area No immediate “shipboard” personnel, TADTAR or quota action required Expectation of SHIP/ISIC/CLRN working with NPC to get sailor there with skill Critical NON-NEC School Meet 100 percent requirement If 100 percent not met, but can meet associated proficiency CCRs as indicated by TFOM >80 (BLUE/GREEN) Can certify in mission area No immediate “shipboard” personnel, TADTAR or quota action required prior to certification CO keeps ISIC/CLASSRON informed of plan for meeting proficiency requirement


SFTM School Business Rules : SFTM School Business Rules If Proficiency TFOM<80 work with MPT&E to: Prioritize next NEC fill Prioritize Quota Provide TADTAR to send shipboard sailor to school NOTE: ISIC/CLASSRON can decide that ship is below level necessary to safely perform task or demonstrate proficiency What about “the rest” of the schools? Essential Schools CO’s decision based on need for talent, impact on schedule and TADTAR Prevent skill from going to zero Max return on investment (School plus 2 years) Exceptions: BMD, CMTQ, VBSS, SAR, AV, MOB-N —MANDATED per governing instruction (highlighted in Cert TAB) How tracked Monthly message (NTMPS supported) matches critical requirements with TFOM prof Plan for remaining essential schools


Sustaining the Skills : Sustaining the Skills ORM heavily emphasized, ISIC/ATG review during each ULTRA event Working to get ORM assessment extracted from TFOM Continuous training guidelines and best practices Training team guidelines Effective self-assessment enables efficient use of training resources and leads directly to continuous readiness

VBSS : VBSS Terminology Level I: Compliant, high or low freeboard Level II: Non-compliant, low freeboard Level III: Non-compliant, high freeboard Level IV: Opposed All DDG/FFG/CG/LSD/LPD deploy to 5th, 6th, or 7th FLEET with 18 graduates of the VBSS Team Trainer (3 Squads of 6) trained to Level II. Ships deploying within 2nd and 3rd FLEET must have 12 graduates (New).


VBSS : Schoolhouse Training Opening Up. Current training availability should support ULT requirements. Primary Goal is to accomplish VBSS Cert during ULT Secondary Goal: At least one squad before C2X, two squads before JTFEX This is now the exception to the rule Increased capacity for sustainment—Cert expiration/suspension without penalty only if CNSF unable to provide quotas in time 12 NC-VBSS Grads rqrd onbd to maintain cert. 18 grads required for cert. Success dependent on proper attention and preparation—Command Level Attention Warranted! Must ensure continuous Physical Readiness Must frequently practice dry-fire weapons familiarization and use of simulators Engineers are frequent failure points—Ensure Training Time! Do not canx quotas last min – result could be loss of Maritime Warfare Excellence Award – ensure proper planning for VBSS Course to meet all pre-reqs on time! VBSS


5” Ammunition : 5” Ammunition NCEA Policy (DTG 201318ZMAR07): Start with small initial allocation (one PACFIRE / training event per quarter) Request additional rounds FY06: Fired 7806 of 12,747 rds (61%) To Date FY07: 4490 of 12,747 rounds fired (glideslope = 5311rds) Propellant charges Controlling expenditures through propellant charge NCEA Priority is ULT requirements Moratoria Prohibition on expending some newer ammo Promotes expenditure of old ammo prior to becoming unserviceable
