Subj: FY-09 BOAT FORCES AND CUTTER OPERATIONS STANDARDIZATION ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS

Ref: (a) U.S. Coast Guard Boat Operations and Training (BOAT) Manual, Vol. I,

COMDTINST M16114.32 (series) 1. During FY-09, the Boat Forces and Cutter Operations Standardization Team (BFCO STANTEAM) visited and reported the “ready status” of 159 operational units as well as the status and/or condition of 464 small boats. 2. Of the 464 boats reported 386 were evaluated and given an “upon arrival” rating of Bravo, Bravo (Restricted) or Charlie. The remaining 78 boats, including 2 Special Purpose Craft – Near-Shore Life Boats (SPC-NLB), were evaluated during “assist” assessments or as a courtesy to the unit. 3. Ready for Operations: Of the 159 unit visits, 120 resulted in completed assessments. 37 of the visits were “assist” assessments and 2 were incomplete. The overall FY-09 average score for completed assessments was 39. A total of 107 units (89%) were found ready for operations and 13 units (11%) were found not ready for operations. 4. The following enclosures contain materiel inspection data, operational evaluations, test results, FY-09 CASREP and FY-09 MISHAP data for each platform type inspected. The materiel inspection data was derived only from the boats that were rated by the BFCO STANTEAM. The Rescue & Survival Systems Program and Training Program analysis is contained in a separate enclosure.

SPC-BTD discrepancy, CASREP and MISHAP data were not tracked for FY 2009.


TACTICS “ASSIST” ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS 1. 14 Units were randomly selected for assist visits for the Ports, Waterways and Coastal Security (PWCS) “Tactics” mission. A 30 point scale is used for the Tactics assessment. A minimum score of 20 is required to receive a Ready for Operations rating. The average final score for the 14 units assessed was 19.2. 2. The traditional 10 point scale is used for Underway Exercises. A 10 point scale is also used for Operational Briefs which are required prior to getting underway for any PWCS mission. Operational Briefing Total Drills Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Pre-Brief 14 14 00 De-Brief 15 15 00

Underway Exercises Total Drills Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Stationary Security Zone 173 140 33 Moving Security Zone 155 128 27 Total 357 297 60

3. A non-traditional, 10 point scale was chosen for the PWCS written exams. Given the nature of the PWCS mission it was determined that the knowledge required of a tactical coxswain or crew member should be given equal importance. Written examinations were administered to all certified boat crew members. Crew Position Averages FY 2009 FY 2008 FY 2007 Tactical Coxswain 70.4% N/A N/A Tactical Crew Member 70.7% N/A N/A Overall Average 70.5% N/A N/A

TRAINING PROGRAM ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS 1. Administrative reviews showed that a majority of the units visited had training program discrepancies. Listed below are the most common discrepancies.

• Certified reserve members not being properly tracked/certified. • Missing required charts for the AOR. • Failed to meet required search patterns for currency maintenance. • Deferred tasks procedures were not properly followed. • Improper decertification procedures (NAVRUL lapsed, currency maintenance). • Specific operating guidance, such as speed limits, safe speed, and safe operating

distance from known hazards, was missing from navigation standards. • Unit not having multiple TMT data entry users. • Charts not up to date. • Coxswains and engineers are not certified as crewman prior to attaining the

advanced qualification. • Currency not being maintained IAW ref (a). • Unit CO/OIC not signing or verifying TMT competency summary reports. • Training records for CB-OTH were missing required documentation (i.e: boat

crew examining board letters, task accomplishment records, certification letters, and competency summary reports).

• CB-OTH members were not conducting required launch and recoveries to maintain semi-annual currency.
