INTRODUCTION

The CVN Training Officer is responsible for coordinating, managing and serving as the central point of contact for all ship-wide training programs. The training officer should report directly to the XO on status of all officer and enlisted training. This Handbook provides CVN Training Officers with a single-source reference to assist in the accomplishment of those training responsibilities.

The Global War on Terror requires us to rigorously train, deploy and sustain our naval forces. We may have to deploy significant fleet capability on short notice.

In 2002-2004, your Navy deployed seven aircraft carriers, nine amphibious assault ships, and a total of 182 combatant and support ships in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF). This surge of Navy combat capability reminded us of the importance of manning, maintaining, and training to produce the kind readiness required in a 21st century security environment.

Your ship must be ready to rapidly respond in support of national tasking. Two terms will be important to you: FRP and FRTP. The FRP (Fleet Readiness Program) was an initiative to align the Navy's train, man and equip infrastructure in support of routine and surge deployment of significant naval combat power on short notice. The separate phases of the FRP are designed to ensure your ship is “combat ready," with an increasing capability as it moves through the training cycle.

As the Training Officer, your attitude and professionalism will be critical to the success of your ship's movement through the FRP. Readiness and training must be sustained at the appropriate level throughout your tour. You will help guide your ship’s department heads before, during and after deployment. The challenge is to do so in a way that maximizes the training benefits of your crew at the appropriate time at the most efficient cost.

Resources will always be pressurized and operational demands do not diminish. You must strike the most effective and efficient balance between hands-on training and simulation. At-sea training will be conducted to exercise the crew in their duties, your CO’s Battle Orders and CO/Carrier Strike Group (CSG)/Fleet policies. In addition, the ship should take advantage of classroom or installed training devices while both ashore and at sea in order to reduce time-to-train and execute efficiently.

Under the FRP, CNO's goal is to provide the nation six-plus-one Carrier Strike Groups (CSGs) - six CSGs deployed or ready to deploy at an M2 or better status within 30 days, and an additional CSG ready to

4

deploy within 90 days. Navy leadership will periodically review this goal, adjusting it up or down as required by the global political-military situation and available forces.

The Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP) is a 32-month cycle that replaced the old Inter-deployment Training Cycle (IDTC). The FRTP includes four phases prior to deployment: Maintenance, Unit Level Training, Integrated Training, and Sustainment. The Maintenance Phase, which can vary from 9 weeks up to 10 months for an aircraft carrier, is followed by a period of Unit-Level Training (ULT) to achieve a level of readiness for the CSG to be considered "emergency surge ready." Most of your off-ship classroom and team training will be performed during this phase. The major prerequisites for a surge deployment (manning, maintenance, and basic training) will be completed so that additional tailored training can be quickly completed in the event of a crisis or contingency operation. Although the ship will continuously train throughout the FRP, Unit Phase is complete – and the ship certified as both "Ready to Train" and "Emergency Surge Ready" - at the completion of TSTA/FEP.

The Integrated Phase of training is tailored to individual ship, air wing and supporting warfare commander training requirements and concludes with the completion of COMPTUEX. At this point a CSG is considered "surge ready," meaning it can deploy on short notice if required.

Sustainment Phase of the FRTP consists of a variety of training evolutions designed to maintain a CSG's readiness until it actually deploys, and includes CART II and a JTFEX. By this time your crew will be in a very high state of training, and the strike group staff will be exercising higher level command and control functions.

Our focus at CNAF will be on continuing to provide you clarity on the Fleet Response Plan (FRP) and Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP). To help the Training Officer succeed, we have created two instructions. The basic responsibilities of the CVN Training Officer are prescribed in CNAF INST 3500.56 series. This instruction establishes a training department in each CVN and provides guidance regarding its manning, organization and functions. The second instruction is the basic guidance for CVN training programs, found in CNAF 3500.20 Series. This instruction serves as a guide for conducting ship-wide, departmental and team training during the FRTP and sets the standard for measuring readiness. The goal of the training plan is to provide carrier strike group commanders with trained aircraft carrier crews capable of immediate integration into sustained operations as part of a combat-ready carrier strike group.

In short, you're going to be very busy in a tremendously challenging and rewarding tour. CVN Training Officers should endeavor at all times to maintain their programs in an inspection ready status. This handbook should get you started, and my staff is always available to be a part of the solution. Train – fight – win.

Chapter 1 -THE CVN TRAINING OFFICER 1.1 Who is the Training Officer? The CVN Training Officer is a sea duty Department Head. He or she is the primary assistant to the Commanding Officer in executing the ship's training plan. In conjunction with the Executive Officer, the Training Officer uses the plan at Planning Board for Training (PB4T) as the primary forum to schedule both short term and long range training objectives for the command. To be effective, the Training Officer will need a copy of the ship's quarterly and annual employment schedule, which can be obtained from the ship's Strike Operations Officer. REMEMBER: The ship's employment schedule is a very dynamic document. Close liaison with the Strike Operations Officer and the Executive Officer is an absolute must to keep pace with the changes in the ship's schedule. Every change will present challenges to the Training Officer on how to best achieve the established training goals. The key to success is to be flexible enough to capitalize on each underway day as a training opportunity for watch teams, and each inport day for individual or team training using assets ashore. Assets ashore can include Afloat Training Group, assets available at various training commands, synthetic or embedded training devices such as BFTT, RESS or VSS Combat System Training Systems. 1.2 Duties and Responsibilities of the Training Officer. As the primary assistant to the Commanding Officer in matters relating to training, the Training Officer should be thoroughly familiar with the CO's responsibilities. The CO's training responsibilities can be found throughout the Aircraft Carrier Training and Readiness Manual (CNAF 3500.20 series). This will be your guide on how to best support the CO. The following are some of the Training Officer’s responsibilities:

1. Serve as a member of the PB4T.

2. Maintain contact with other training activities to provide PB4T with availability of shore-based training.

3. Manage formal schools training and quota control 4. TADTAR administration.

5. Coordinate/Conduct Indoctrination (I) Division.

6. Assist Departmental Training Officers with development of Long-Range Training Plans (LRTP).

7. Develop a Master Long range Training Plan.

1-2

[Note: This entails the coordination of in-rate, training teams, tactical warfare, watch station, watch team, and other institutionalized training such as General Military Training (GMT).]

8. Develop a training plan for embarked Midshipmen and Reservists when assigned. 9. Conduct self-evaluation of PB4T using automated and manual display products to determine the effectiveness of the Long Range Training Program.

10. Manage the Long Range Training Plan for currency and effectiveness.

11 (a) The general background and policy concerning the development and implementation of PQS is contained in OPNAVINST 3500.34 series and COMNAVAIRFORINST 3500.52 Series. (b) Guidelines for implementation and administration of PQS are outlined in the NAVEDTRA 43100-2C Model Manager's Guide or NAVEDTRA 43100-1G Unit Coordinators Guide. (c) The “PQS Catalog” (NAVEDTRA 43100-5) provides the latest list of available PQS standard material. PQS can be obtained for your ship through any of the following means:

- Obtaining login and downloading PQS at https://pqs.cnet.navy.mil/dinput.asp. - Calling the PQS Development Group at DSN 564-2996 ext. 3016 or Commercial (757) 444-2996 ext. 3016.

12. Attainment and maintenance of maximum mission area readiness should receive emphasis when establishing training plans and schedules. 13. Conduct a Command Assessment for Readiness and Training I/II (CART I/II). CART I/II will be addressed in Chapter 3.

14. Conduct pre-TSTA/FEP briefings as required by ISIC and TYCOM. Tailored Ships Training Availability (TSTA) and Final Evaluation Period (FEP) will be addressed in Chapter 3. 15. Provide a safe to train letter to the Senior Observer during FEP in brief (not required for CART II / TSTA). This letter will specify that all weapon systems, including minor caliber guns, are configured to support FEP. Close in Weapon System (CIWS) firing keys have been removed or keys custody procedures are in place and that NATO Sea Sparrow Missile System (NSSMS), if loaded, have the “Safe/Operate” plugs removed.

1-3

16. At a minimum (as applicable) provide a copy of the following to the Senior Observer at the Training in-briefs:

1. Commanding Officer’s Battle Orders. 2. Current copy of the ship’s eight o’clock reports. 3. Condition I/III and special evolutions watch bills. 4. Training Team written designations. 5. List of the ship’s standard simulations.

17. Coordinate and administer the Integrated Training Team (ITT) to develop and execute TSTA/FEP scenarios/SOEs. The ITT will use the TSTA/FEP background information provided by ATG as a guideline making sure all required scenario meet ISIC/ATG objectives. Additionally, COMNAVAIRFORINST 3500.20 (series) amplifies the duties and responsibilities the ITT as follows:

1. Integrated Training Team (ITT). This team will be responsible, under the direction of the Executive Officer, for ensuring the maximum integration of shipboard training evolutions from CART II through deployment. The ITT will be trained by ATG during SBTT, CART II, and TSTA I/II, assessed as fully functional during TSTA III and evaluated during FEP. 2. The ITT should be comprised of the Executive Officer (team leader), Strike OPS Officer, Training Officer (ITT Coordinator), team leaders of all other ship’s training teams, Assistant Supply Officer, Ordnance Handling officer, and the Safety Officer. 3. The team leaders of all shipboard training teams are required to coordinate and schedule all individual training team evolutions through the ITT.

4. The ITT will meet prior to each ship-wide training evolution, such as General Quarters, to ensure maximum compatibility and integration among exercises and drills to be conducted by each training team. 5. ITT ship-wide evolution packages should be developed and include scenario, objectives, and timeline to be forwarded to the Commanding Officer via the Executive Officer, for signature. 6. Following completion of the evolution, and training team debriefs, the ITT should meet again to compare results, resolve conflicts, compile list of lessons learned, and prepare a summary debrief. Debriefs should be forwarded to the Commanding Officer via appropriate Department Heads and

1-4

the Executive Officer. The debrief should include, at a minimum:

(a) Objectives met or not met, and if not, why. (b) Material deficiencies and corrective action taken. (c) Training Team Sat or not and why? (d) Lessons learned. (e) Coordination issues.

19. As you can readily see, the responsibilities of the CVN Training Officer cross every departmental line and range from the Captain's Cabin to the deck plates. While the tasks associated with the Training Officer job are very demanding, there is a great deal of satisfaction to be attained when an exercise or operational event is completed smoothly as a result of your efforts.

1.3 Training Officer Checklist. Fortunately every level of leadership in the Navy shares in the training responsibility. From the Chief of Naval Operations to the most junior petty officer, each Sailor has the responsibility for training one's juniors as well as the responsibility of learning from one's seniors. Table 1-1 is the Training Officer Checklist that will help you organize your training department.

1.4 An effective training program. Experience has shown that there are certain characteristics and features of an effective training program. Table 1-2 outlines those elements: CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES OF AN EFFECTIVE TRAINING PROGRAM

CHARACTERISTICS FEATURES

Dynamic Trainers Positive Leadership And Personal Interest

Quality Control Instruction, Evaluation, And Tech Support

Compatibility Regularly Scheduled Training Analysis and Improvement Observation And Comparison To

Recognized Standards Table 1-2

a. A training program should function as part of the existing infrastructure and not require a new organization to be "stood up". The CVN Training Officer should leverage off of existing Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) that are available from all Departments / Divisions. That's why Training Teams should include a core group of the most knowledgeable and experienced personnel on the ship who bring enthusiasm to the training process. It is not always the most senior person in the division or the department who makes the best trainer. b. The Shipboard Training Team (SBTT) course offered by ATG is invaluable in providing training teams with the tools they need to plan, brief, execute, evaluate, and debrief drill scenarios using objective based training. The SBTT is designed to help you meet the requirements of Table 1-3. It also includes, upon request, a module on Team Dimensional Training (TDT) (also known as Team Building Skills (TBS)) that attempts to answer the question, "What makes a team of experts an expert team?” The skills highlighted in the TDT module are another tool for watch team training that, when embraced, can get every watch stander involved in the training process. See Tool Number Two in Chapter 7 of this manual (TEAM DIMENSIONAL TRAINING (TDT) / TEAM BUILDING SKILLS (TBS)) for further guidance.

1.5 Foundation for Shipboard Training. Learning is a life long experience, and, in different phases of life, learning techniques vary. There is no single "best way" to train, but the following is offered to give you insight in how Sailors learn.

a. Sailors do not view themselves as beginners. Give the sailors the correct motivation for becoming willing participants in training being provided and the opportunity for success. b. Sailors are motivated to do a good job. Make the training evaluation more self-directed.

c. Sailors learn better and faster in an environment that is non-hostile and personal. Promote interpersonal skills that are inherent in the Team Building Skills.

d. Sailors learn when they feel supported using new concepts, processes, and skills. Use group watch team training opportunities to expand this type of learning.

e. A Sailor's attention span is a function of their level of interest in the training being provided. Allow plenty of time for the Sailors to learn the training you are providing.

f. Sailors are most receptive to training that they can identify as experiences in their daily routine. "Hands on" training should be included in the training event if possible.

g. Sailors learn what they perceive to be useful to them in the accomplishment of their mission. The content of training provided must fit the needs of the Sailors and should be a clearly defined goal related to their mission.

h. Sailors learn through two-way communications. Avoid over-use of lectures and "talking to" training. Emphasize discussion and "hands on" exercises on the subject of training.

i. Sailors react to rank differences of the group being trained. Use smaller watch station groups to provide better tailored training and allow more honest feedback.

j. Sailors learn better when they are treated with respect for what they already know. Use group experience to deal with complex problems that you the trainer may or may not have the correct answer for. k. Sailors have strong pre-existing opinions on how to conduct the event on which training is being provided. Use the Team Building

1-11

Skills self-correcting behavior (as discussed in the ATG TDT module of SBTT) to contribute to more effective learning for the whole group. l. Sailors are partners with the trainer in the learning process. Sailors should actively influence the approach you take to train them.

1.6 Feedback. For any recommended Additions, Deletions or Changes to this Handbook please utilize the Recommendation for Change form provided on page 5 in the front of this Handbook. 1.7 What if the Training Officer doesn't find the assistance they are looking for in this chapter or CNAFINST 3500.20 (series)? Chapter 7 discusses the "tool box", those local resources that provide all local area training relative to the CVN Forces. One form of informal assistance is the Limited Team Training (LTT) provided by ATG Norfolk, Mayport, San Diego and other areas. Limited team training covers any shipboard subject for which ATG has available experienced trainers specifically targeted to CVN Training Officers needs.

Chapter 3 - TRAINING ROAD MAP

3.1 Fleet Response Plan and Fleet Readiness Training Plan.

1. Details of the continual readiness and training assessment process are outlined in this module. This process requires that the ITT maintain a steady strain throughout the Fleet Response Plan (FRP) and Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP) shown on Figure 3-1 and 3-2 (including during deployment). Continuous dialogue with your CVN Training Liaison Officer (TLO), ISIC, ITT, and Commanding Officer provides the feedback and guidance to improve the efficiency and execution of this continuous assessment process.

2. A pro-active approach, an active ITT organization, and scheduling for success leads to achieving command training goals with minimal impact on the ship’s schedule and quality of life. Performance (practice) and objective-based (referenced directly to warfare & mission area goals) scenario driven training, supported by onboard training systems and controlled by the ITT, enables each ship to train to their unique requirements based on their assessment.

3. Scheduling for success begins with an accurate material and training assessment.

COMNAVAIRFOR Training Roadmap for Success

3.2 Maintenance Period Training

1. The ITT must remain active during the maintenance period and the Watch Team Replacement Plan (WTRP) must be reviewed to ensure the desired results are achieved. The Training Officer should request an ATG Training Officer Seminar.

(a) Continue to use the Afloat Self-Assessment checksheets.

(b) Liaison with your CVN TLO and CNAF Training Representative.

(c) Aviation Crew Certification Phase I is conducted in the shipyard 60 and 30 day intervals prior to commencing Phase II. Phase I inspections are administrative in nature and are normally conducted inport. Phase II is accomplished at-sea IAW CNAFINST 3500.71 (series). Schedule with CNAF Aircraft Handling Team.

(d) Crew Certification incident to the completion of construction, overhaul and availabilities, should be conducted IAW the Aircraft Carrier Training and Readiness Manual (COMNAVAIRFOR 3500.20 series Chapter 5) and the Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual COMFLTFORCOM 4790.3 (series).

(e) Plan for Fast Cruise.

(f) Continue to assess the WTRP and Master Schools List (ensure personnel go to the schools). (g) Figure 3-3 outlines the Maintenance Phase Training Process.

2. Note: FROM A TRAINING OFFICER VIEWPOINT, OBTAINING QUOTAS FOR REQUIRED SCHOOLS (NEC AND NON-NEC PRODUCING), AND AN ACTIVE ITT (CSTT, DCTT, MTT, S/NTT, ETT, PPDT) TO MAINTAIN WATCHSTANDER LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND ESSENTIAL WATCHTEAM SKILLS IS A MUST.

2. While the Training Officer cannot possibly manage all of these events, PB4T can be invaluable in scheduling and executing of the ship’s daily routine. In addition, the Training Officer needs to conduct spot checks during drills. Items which are essential to maintain a steady strain on readiness and training, include:

(a) Continuing assessment of the WTRP

(b) Weekly ITT evolutions

(c) The ITT can manage both the Fast Cruise SOE and Sea Trial (the ITT is a key resource for the Training Officer)

(d) Fast Cruise Watch Quarter Station Bill (WQSB) update and underway watch bill review

(e) Walk-throughs conducted after the maintenance period and normally prior to TSTA III / FEP

3. Based on material condition and work progress, many ITT evolutions (CSTT, S/NTT, DCTT, ADTT, MTT, PPDT, FPTT & ETT) may be walk-throughs, seminars, and /or team discussions. Although it is difficult to schedule and conduct ITT training related events every week, which should be a goal of the training officer. The ETT and DCTT have routinely done this in past years, simply because there was no better way to maintain watch stander and watch team LOK and maintain a PQS qualified team.

3-7

3.3 Crew Certification.

1. The Crew Certification inspection shall consist of three parts:

a. Phase I will normally be conducted approximately four months prior to Fast Cruise. This one-day assist visit shall consist primarily of a review of the ship's training plans and schedule and a review of status of implementation or update of support areas such as PQS, technical documentation and logistic support. PMS implementation shall be checked on a separate schedule by the COMNAVAIRFOR 3-M Team. Detailed areas to be checked include General Ship Training, Damage Control, Engineering (non-propulsion), Medical, Communications, Navigation, Air, Deck, Operations, Supply and Weapons Departments.

b. Phase II shall normally be conducted approximately one to two months prior to Fast Cruise. This one-day inspection should be accomplished at a suitable place (which could be off the ship, but if possible should be on the ship) and consists of:

(1) A review of past training conducted and future training planned. (2) Examination of Watchstanders with emphasis on their knowledge of emergency/casualty bills and general ship operational procedures. (3) An audit of the ship's SORM, administrative, operational and emergency bills and Watch Quarter and Station Bills. (4) Rules of the Road written examinations for OODs, JOODs, JOOWs and CDC watch officers. (5) The Auxiliaries Assist Team shall direct the auxiliary’s certification (Engineering and Reactor Departments). Reactor Department not involved. (6) The CSG Commander will conduct this phase of the assessment. They may request assistance from ATG, other ships in the group, and other commands in the area to augment the staff in support of this assessment. (7) TYCOM Aircraft Handling Teams will coordinate with the ship and the Group Commander to evaluate flight deck handling procedures.

c. Phase III shall be conducted onboard and shall specifically evaluate the crew's state of training during simulated underway operations emphasizing emergency drills. This two-day inspection will be conducted by the CSG Commander (with assistance from ATG, other ships in the group, other commands in the area, and TYCOM Flight Deck Handling Team as requested)

3-8

just prior to Fast Cruise, if the ship intends to operate helicopters during the first sea trial, this certification shall include evaluation of the MOB-D-18-SF and MOB-D-22-SF exercises, a modified fuels evaluation and an inventory of the required materials. d. Upon completion of Phase I and II, the senior evaluator shall make a report to the Commanding Officer, CSG Commander, and TYCOM. e. Completion of Phase III of the Crew Certification, the senior evaluator shall prepare a report to the CSG Commander and the TYCOM, listing discrepancies as follows:

(1) Restrictive - Those discrepancies that would preclude safe operation of the ship and must be corrected prior to Fast Cruise. (2) Major - Those discrepancies that could hinder proper operation of the ship and must be corrected prior to getting underway. (3) Minor - Those discrepancies that do not affect proper operation of the ship.

2. Detailed guidelines for conducting an effective Fast Cruise are provided in COMNAVAIRFOR 3500.20 (SERIES).

3-9

3.4 Fast Cruise. 1. The objectives of Fast Cruise are:

(1) To train the crew in a simulated underway environment, and

(2) To give the Commanding Officer a final opportunity to confirm his crew is ready to take the ship to sea safely.

2. In addition to carrying out the normal underway routine, the commanding officer shall have all equipment operated to maximum extent possible to check for proper operation and to determine the state of crew training.

3. Fast Cruise shall, as far as is practicable, simulate at-sea operating conditions. It will be conducted by the ship's force and is to be unhampered by construction or repair or by movement of shipyard personnel through the ship. Neither the shipbuilder, supervisor of shipbuilding conversion and repair, nor shipyard commander shall schedule any trials, tests or other work to be performed on the ship during this period.

4. Specific guidance for conducting all Fast Cruises, including all requesting and reporting procedures, is included in the Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual (JFMM) CFFCINST 4790.3 volume 2 section 3.6.8. and 3.6.8.3 (3.6.8.3 applies to ships in a CNO scheduled availability). Additional requirements for nuclear powered carriers are included in OPNAVINST 9080.3 (series) and the EDM. For conventionally powered aircraft carriers, the required duration of Fast Cruise depends on the type and length of the overhaul.

5. A five-day Fast Cruise is required for ships completing construction, conversion or RCOH per OPNAVINST 4700.8 (series). A five-Day Fast Cruise period is also required for CVN’s in availabilities lasting greater than 9 months. Ships completing regular overhauls or SRAs may schedule a shorter Fast Cruise, but under no circumstances should it last less than 48 hours, including an overnight period. It may be divided into sections, but should be completed within a five-day period. It should end not more than three days and not less than one day prior to underway trials. Example of Schedule of Events (SOE) for conducting an effective Fast Cruise is provided in Figure 3-4.

6. The Fast Cruise requirement does not apply to carriers undergoing routine scheduled upkeep periods including Continuous Maintenance Availabilities.

3.7 Tailored Ships Training Availability (TSTA) Underway and Final Evaluation Period (FEP).

A. TSTA (UNDERWAY): TSTA will normally be conducted during a 25-day underway period with FEP and the air wing embarked throughout. The following breakdown provides notional emphasis points during this underway period:

(1). TSTA Phase I. Emphasis during this NOTIONAL 8- day period is on navigation, seamanship, engineering, damage control (CBR) and other training. Basic flight deck operations consist of flight deck and hangar bay drills with limited Carrier Air Wing qualifications. Combat Systems training is focused on basic condition III scenarios and other areas where support from the Carrier Air Wing is not required.

(2). TSTA Phase II. Emphasis during this NOTIONAL 8-day period is on flight deck operations, increased emphasis on Combat Systems, Engineering and Damage Control Condition I and III tactical and casualty control scenario execution, while integrating Carrier Air Wing support. NATO Sea Sparrow Missile System Certification should be completed by TSTA Phase II. By the end of this phase, each of the ship's training teams should be capable of planning, conducting, evaluating and critiquing exercises within its functional area.

(3). TSTA Phase III. TSTA Phase III is a NOTIONAL seven (7) day period with three purposes: (1) to train the crew on complex Unit Phase exercises, (2) to prepare for the Final Evaluation Period (FEP), (3) and continued Carrier Air Wing integration with increased complexity of integration drills.

B. FEP. FEP is a two day graded event (graded per Appendix III) and represents the culmination of the Unit Level Phase of training and evaluates the ship’s “within the lifelines” ability to conduct combat missions, support functions, and survive complex casualty control situations. It provides the ISIC the opportunity to evaluate ship readiness prior to entering Integrated/Sustainment Phases of training as well as a ship’s ability to sustain readiness through self-training. Ships completing FEP will have demonstrated the minimum required skills to proceed to the integrated phase of the FRTP. As the culmination of the Unit Level Training Phase, FEP is the final opportunity for ISICs to observe /assess aggregate shipboard watch standing, war fighting and ship survival proficiencies, and the ship’s resident capacity to sustain and build upon those proficiencies. TYCOM certification of ship readiness to proceed to the next training phase is based primarily on ISIC

3-22

recommendation following FEP making the ship capable for Emergency Surge.

(1). Key Elements of FEP. (a). Ship ITT, with ISIC guidance and ATG assist, will develop and conduct FEP. (b). The tailored scenario will include war fighting skills and tactical decision making abilities required to perform during fleet operations, but will focus on single ship operations and be tailored to ship specific systems. FEP will culminate in a Total Ship Survivability Exercise (TSSE) that will evaluate the ship’s ability to survive/recover from significant battle damage. (c). Casualty control exercises will be incorporated to ensure watch teams can reconfigure equipment in a simulated hostile and/or restricted maneuvering environment and operate the ship with material degradation. (d). Watch teams presented must be on a command approved watch bill. Transitions between Conditions of Readiness are at the Commanding Officer’s discretion. (e). The ship's training teams will demonstrate their ability to plan and execute integrated ship-wide training during FEP and for follow-on training after the Unit Phase Level. (f). The ship’s material condition must support safe conduct of FEP and watch standers need to be aware of all equipment limitations.

(g). Management programs will be evaluated as executed throughout FEP.

(h). Safety is paramount. Imposed artificialities and simulations are necessary and must be understood by ship’s personnel. (i). ATG will evaluate all FEP events and assign grades to specific exercises IAW Appendix III. (j). If a ship receives a failing grade on a FEP event and is retaken with a passing grade, the grade for that event will be 70.0%.

(2). Standardization. Afloat Training Group is the TYCOM/ISIC agent for FEP procedural and standardization issues. ATG will

3-23

advise ISIC of procedural and standardization issues to ensure TYCOM requirements are met. (3). Common Events. Following the successful completion of the TSTA / FEP underway period, and with ISIC concurrence, the CVN will gain equivalency credit for the FXP exercises shaded in grey in Appendix II of the CNAF Training and Readiness Manual, based on inclusion in TSTA / FEP scenarios.

3.8 Integrated & Sustainment Phase Training. Key events in this time frame:

1. INTEGRATED PHASE TRAINING. Integrated Phase training (COMPTUEX) consists of inport and underway training. The underway training consists of 21 days beginning with carrier qualifications and ramping up quickly into extended complex air operations intended to stress and exercise all facets of the carrier/airwing team. COMPTUEX consists of an 18 day schedule of events (SOE) driven exercise and a 3 day Final Battle Problem (FBP). It is conducted and directed by the training Carrier Strike Group Commander, and is focused on developing the carrier/airwing team into a cohesive unit and, if additional strike group (SG) assets are available, integrating these units into the associated deploying SG. In addition, the carrier/air wing team and available SG units will develop basic war fighting proficiency in coordinating SG operations that will be further defined during the Sustained Phase of training. The deploying SG Commander, as ISIC, will closely monitors the progress of the carrier/airwing team. Integration of the deploying SG Commander’s staff with the training carrier group commander’s staff occurs at the outset of COMPTUEX. It is designed to stress the SG staff, carrier/airwing and SG units across all warfare areas. When proficiency is demonstrated, the training carrier group commander will submit a recommendation on the CSG readiness for Sustained Phase training to the numbered fleet commander.

2. SUSTAINED PHASE TRAINING. Sustained Phase training - Fleet exercise (FLEETEX)/Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX) is a FFC directed exercise designed to build upon previous demonstrated (SG) competencies across all warfare areas. The deploying SG Commander is assigned TACON of all warfare areas, and falls under the OPCON of the numbered fleet commander, who operates as the Joint Task Force (JTF) commander. The at-sea portion of Sustained Phase training consists of a 21 days underway with a combined CSG/ESG (MEU) operating as part of the JTF. The ARG/MEU will conduct SACEX/SOCEX at this time. In addition to carrier qualifications, all warfare areas are integrated into a joint campaign effort that transitions through the deployment, presence, increasing tensions, hostilities and redeployment/de-escalation phases. The deploying SG commander will normally be required to fulfill duties as a Joint Force Maritime Component Commander (JFMCC). He may also be assigned duties as a Sector Air Defense Commander (SADC)/Regional Air Defense Commander (RADC). Air wing assets will be tasked via a Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) Air Tasking Order (ATO). They will conduct operational strike planning in support of JTF campaign objectives and integrate with units from all U.S. Services.

3-35

3. Further, this exercise may include participants from any number of allied countries. A Senior Officer Observer Team (SOOT) which ensures the SG is ready for overseas deployment conducts a final evaluation of the SG under this scenario-driven multi-threat environment.

3-36

3.9 Pre Overseas Movement (POM). The Training Officer can assist the Strike Group Milestone Manager in preparing a schedule and plan to complete POM requirements. By following the CARRIER/AIR WING COMPOSITE READINESS DEVELOPMENT PLAN (CRDP), COMNAVAIRLANTINST 3500.48, you will be able to determine what milestones remain to be met prior to deployment. Additionally, the ITT organization should be employed in completing POM events. Strike Group OPTASKS should be carefully reviewed, Warfare Commander assignments should be discussed, and final review of preplanned responses should be conducted.

THINK AHEAD TO CART I!

3.10 Command Assessment of Readiness and Training Phase I (CART I).

1. Conducted toward the end of your deployment, is the essential first step in your total ship self-assessment (don’t forget to assess the ITT organization!).

(a) Afloat Self-Assessment Checksheets from ATGLANT Web. (b) ISIC assist and guidance. (c) Complete and detailed review of the ship’s Watch Team Replacement to include:

-Watch Team Replacement Plan (WTRP) -Required schools *NEC Producing *Non-NEC -Enlisted Distribution and Verification Report -Officer Distribution Control Report & LORTARP

-FLTMPS lists minimum school graduate requirements (does not address Class “A” Schools, NEC/NOBC requirements, new systems/factory training, nor billet specialty training)

(d) Develop, refine and update the ship’s required master school list. (e) Identify TADTAR requirements. (f) Identify school & team training requirements.

2. Note: This process supports ship-wide planning for watchstander & watchteam skill training and keeps you looking over the horizon as you establish and execute your plan.

3-37

3. CART I should be coordinated with your ISIC. Plan and execute CART I as a ship-wide evolution. This focuses attention on assessing the ITT’s training capability, material, personnel, and key programs. The CART I could encompass:

(a) Ship-wide walk through, review of ZIDL packages & Eight O'clock Reports. (b) ITT scenario of no more than three hours duration for each watchteam:

-Several sets of casualty control drills (for each training team)

-A JP-5 pump room fire drill -Observed Watchstanders evolutions (for people whose PRD will have them onboard for Unit Phase Training - there is no value in assessing people who are transferring)

(c) Key program reviews using Afloat Self-Assessment Checksheets; for example:

-Ship-wide electrical safety/tag-out program -SWO/ESWS programs -CSMP -PMS -PQS -Last INSURV and Safety Center Assist Reports (items not corrected) -Surface Unit Search & Rescue (SAR) Team -Supply Department SMI readiness -ORM -Flightdeck

(d) An example of a Notional CART I SOE is outlined in Figure 3-10.

Chapter 4 – Inspections, Certifications, Assessments and Assist Visits

4.1 What is required of an Aircraft Carrier? The Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP) has undergone significant changes over the last few years. At the core of the changes has been the philosophy of empowering Commanding Officers to determine their own training needs to meet the standards of published doctrine and the requirements of their Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC). However, Commander Naval Air Force requires all CVN’s to complete the entire Unit Phase Training Cycle. This includes CART II, TSTA I / II / III, and a graded FEP prior to going on to Integrated Phase Training (C2X). 4.2 What are Inspections, Certifications, Assessments, and Assist Visits (ICAV)? To find the complete list of ICAV’s refer to CNAFINST 5040.1 (series). To support continuous evaluation of a CVNs readiness to perform her combat mission and to ensure that all aspects of unit management and operations which influence combat readiness are considered under normal day-to-day conditions, ICAVs are provided by Type Commanders. CNAFINST 5040.1 series (NAVAL AIR FORCE INSPECTIONS, CERTIFICATIONS, ASSESSMENTS, AND ASSIST VISITS) defines ICAV as the following:

(a) INSPECTION - A periodic on-site evaluation, audit, or examination of operational proficiency, material conditions, or other valid program requirements by external organizations. Results of inspections are reported to higher authority (Type Commander or above). (b) CERTIFICATION – Any evaluation or examination of equipment and/or systems for the specific purpose of providing license, permit, or authorization necessary for the operation of equipment or systems. Includes qualifications, which are evaluations or examination of the personnel/organizations (watch teams, rescue swimmers, etc.) to properly employ/operate equipment and/or systems. Results are reported to higher authority. (c) ASSESSMENT – A periodic evaluation of the key systems, processes, and results of an organization following an established framework and methodology. Distribution of results is limited to Unit Commander or the ISIC. (d) ASSIST VISIT – Conducted as requested by the individual unit and is generally oriented to program functions, administrative documentation of compliance with governing directive and as a training assist.

4-2

4.3 Assist Visits applicable to the CVN. Assist team members are normally oriented toward a particular technical or operational area and compliance with Navy, Fleet, and Force policies. They are officers and senior enlisted personnel with inherent personnel management skills and experience.

(a) The evaluation and/or assistance specifically includes meeting with the senior petty officers, chief petty officers and junior officers of the department visited to further awareness, involvement and initiative on the part of the command's middle management personnel. These meetings should include an exchange of unit personnel ideas with team members on subjects that include personnel manning, state of training and ideas for additional training. (b) During visits, team leaders will ensure the commanding officer or his representative is briefed. Normally, these briefings may be conducted upon arrival, periodically during the visit, and upon departure. At a minimum, the visit team will provide the commanding officer a summary of accomplishments and visit results.

5-1

Chapter 5 – Battle “E” 101 5.1 What is the Battle “E”? The Commander Naval Air Force Carrier Battle Efficiency Competition is currently designed to measure and recognize the level of battle efficiency attained by each department and each Naval Air Force carrier during the competitive cycle, so that those achieving a prescribed level of excellence are recognized. The Battle Efficiency Award is presented by the respective TYCOMS to the carrier, which based on competitive standings, has achieved the highest degree of battle readiness. Current ship wide metrics for the Battle “E” competition include:

A. COMPETITIVE EXERCISES: Selected FXP or TYCOM exercises which must be observed and graded by the ISIC or subject matter experts (SMEs) specifically assigned by the ISIC once during the competitive cycle.

B. MONTHLY READINESS MANAGEMENT: Reflects the ship’s and department’s ability to maintain proficiency in assigned primary mission areas by the accomplishment and reported completion of assigned Fleet and TYCOM exercises within the prescribed degradation period. This calculation is currently based on the best eight months of the year.

C. COMPOSITE TRAINING/FINAL BATTLE PROBLEM (COMPTUEX/FBP): Awards points for a ships readiness to proceed to advanced training.

D. UDERWAY DEMONSTRATION/OPERATIONAL REACTOR SAFEGUARDS EXAMINATION (UD/ORSE): The ability of the ship to steam safely, efficiency and reliability, combined with it’s ability to control either real or simulated damage and to effect emergency repairs, form the basis to measure the battle readiness of an aircraft carrier and Reactor Department.

E. INTERMEDIATE MAINTENANCE ACTIVITY (IMA) SUPPORT: Reflects the ability of a carrier to maintain material readiness of the embarked air wing through the performance of intermediate level maintenance and supply support during battle group operations.

F. SHIP’S 3M ASSESSMENT: Assesses and grades the ship’s ability to administer the Maintenance, Management and Material Program.

G. SHIP’S FINAL EVALUATION PERIOD (FEP): Reflects ship’s success in demonstrating the minimum required skills to proceed to the Integrated Phase of Training.

H. TYPE COMMANDER: Will have final say in all Tie Breakers.

5-2

I. DEPARTMENTAL AWARDS: Departments that accumulate the excellence standard of 90 points is eligible to win and display the departmental award. The method of computation for departmental points is designed to provide a valid and equitable procedure for identifying successful departments. J. CARRIER MANTENANCE EFFICIENCY AWARD (PURPLE E): The Purple E award recognizes the importance of continuous effective maintenance and the efficient use of material and personnel resources. This award is required in order to be eligible to receive the Battle E. Section 5.3 of this chapter has more information on the Purple E or go to COMNAVAIRFORINST 3500.20 (series) Chapter 6 Section 5.

5.2 How does TYCOM Calculate Battle “E”? At the end of each month the ship submits the Training Report (TRAREP) to FFC which has all exercises completed during that month. TYCOM downloads the TRAREP and calculates the Competitive Exercises (COMPEX) (Fig. 5-1) completed for that month.

5.3 Carrier Maintenance Efficiency Award (Purple E)

1. The Carrier Maintenance Efficiency Award (PURPLE ‘E’) recognizes the importance of continuous effective maintenance in support of long term combat readiness. It recognizes the efficient use of material and personnel resources as a foundation for sustained training and deployed operations. Failure to maintain established PURPLE ‘E’ criteria during a competitive cycle will preclude a ship from consideration for the overall Battle Efficiency Award

2. The PURPLE ‘E’ measures shipboard maintenance processes for both availability and non-availability years. The conditional metrics for this award apply to CNO-approved Planned Incremental Availabilities (PIA), Docking Planned Incremental Availabilities (DPIA) and Selected Restricted Availabilities (SRA), and Extended Docking Selected Availabilities (EDSRA). A command’s award calculation comes from maintenance related assessment as well as the documented material condition of the ship, Ship’s Force availability production and training school completions.. 3. The Commander, U.S. Naval Air Forces (N7 and N43) will be responsible for the collection of the below data no later than 15 January following a competitive calendar year. Questions regarding applicability or qualification for the PURPLE ‘E’ should be directed to CNAF N7. Interim changes to the award’s grading criteria will be released by naval message, and will

5-8

take precedence over this instruction until subsequently updated.

5.4 Lessons Learned

A. Track your COMPEX’s! Training Officer’s are responsible to track all your COMPEXs to make sure they are getting completed and submitted into TRMS. Training Officers need to be aggressive in making sure TRMS is getting out to FFC by the 1st of every month.

B. Waivers. When submitting a waiver it needs to get in early. Waviers need to be submitted through your ISIC then up to TYCOM.

6-1

Chapter 6 – Scheduling Hints

6.1 How does the Training Officer put together all the pieces? In Chapter 7, the Training Officer has been given all the tools they need to succeed by having all the known training resources from which to choose. Chapter 2 outlined some of the people (CO, XO, Department Heads, Operations Officer, Departmental LCPO/LPO, etc.) that can assist in the scheduling process. There is one person, however, that has not been mentioned to this point that will be an indispensable partner during your Unit Phase Training. That person is the CVN Training Liaison Officer (TLO). He or she is a senior aviation officer with experience in CVN operations. Prior to the beginning of Unit Level Training, the Afloat Training Group CVN TLO will be assigned to your ship and available throughout the Unit Level Training Cycle. The TLO's job is to help you make the pieces fit. The TLO is assisted in the performance of their duties by an assigned ATG Senior Enlisted Team Member (SETM). In the absence of the TLO, the SETM will respond to the questions and the ATG scheduling needs of the ship. The TLO and SETM are assigned to the ship from SBTT to the completion of FEP. Additionally, an ATG representative is attached to CNAL N7 shop to assist all of the CVNs throughout their Unit Phase Training including NSSMS Certification. 6.2 What does the CVN TLO do for the ship? The CVN TLO will assist in developing the short range, Unit Phase Training schedule based on the results of the ship's CART II. He will also adjust the schedule based on the ship's observed and measured progress toward specific training goals, and work in conjunction with the ship's ISIC in assessing training performance. The TLO will also assist the Training Officer in arranging for ATG's afloat trainers and services to support the ship's training objectives. Having worked with several carriers, the CVN TLO can provide the benefit of experience in Unit Phase Training. Rely on the CVN TLO for some of the "nuts and bolts" of scheduling the right afloat trainers when you need them during Unit Phase Training. 6.3 So how do I schedule for success? As the Training Officer for your command, you should dedicate yourself to ensuring that you and your Training Team’s plans and schedules are executed with success in mind. Becoming familiar with the CNAF Training and Readiness Manual should be foremost in your mind as you chart your course through the FRTP. With regard to the Unit Phase, Chapters 3 and 5 are vital to your efforts. Be thoroughly versed in the contents of all sections within these two chapters. Additionally, you must meld the requirements listed in Appendix I of the CVTRAMAN to complete your plan of action during the Unit Phase of the FRTP. With a complete understanding of the CNAF Training and Readiness Manual, you should focus your attention on attaining your M-2 mission area rating. CVTRAMAN delineates the proper use of TRMS to attain the M-2 rating.

6-2

6.4 How do I schedule services with Afloat Training Group? Your primary point of contact will always be the CVN TLO, but your ISIC plays a critical role in initial long range planning. Once you, your CO, and the ISIC have determined the scope of required training, as outlined in the CVTRAMAN, for the Final Evaluation Period (FEP), the ISIC representative (usually the group training officer or operations officer) will meet with the ship’s Operation officer, Strike Operations Officer, Training Officer, CVN TLO, and Primary ATG assistants to schedule the longer-range events to be conducted during CART II, TSTA I/II, and TSTA III/FEP. 6.5 What is the primary key to Unit Phase success? Again, simple answer: INTEGRATION, INTEGRATION, INTEGRATION! As you approach the beginning of your Unit Phase, you will have your Training Teams attend the Shipboard Training Team (SBTT) course. You will hear repeatedly that early integration of Training Teams will serve you well in attaining a successful Final Evaluation Period. Capitalize on every opportunity you have to incorporate as many Training Teams as possible in underway training scenarios. The CVN TLO and SETM will assist you throughout the Unit Phase in scenario and timeline development. Call them early and call them often. That's what they are there for (USE THEM)! Don't get tunnel vision on the "wicket of the day". Coordinate with your TLO and/or the SETM to get a mixed bag of trainers and keep the entire crew training at every underway opportunity.

7-1

Chapter 7 –Tool Box 7.1 What "box"?

1. First, let's define the "box". The "box" of first concern to the Training Officer is the Unit Phase of the Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP).

2. In preparation for and prior to the Basic Phase, the ship conducts a CART Phase I during their transit home from deployment. CART Phase I should focus on training needs generated by post-deployment transfers, NEC replacement plan, TADTAR funding for formal schools, and training required for any equipment or systems upgrades/change-outs that may occur during the post-deployment maintenance period. A good CART I maps a road to success for future Unit Phase Training evolutions.

3. COMNAVAIRFORINST 3500.20 (series) outlines specific Unit Phase Training requirements, detailing Command Assessment of Readiness and Training (CART) Phase II and Tailored Ship’s Training Availability (TSTA). The Unit Phase concludes with the successful completion of the graded Final Evaluation Period (FEP).

7.2 Now, for the tools:

1. Chapter 4 of this handbook identifies mandatory CVN events. The Training Officer's primary source for Unit Phase training to meet all these requirements is Afloat Training Group Atlantic (ATGL) /Mayport (ATGM). ATG is comprised of senior experienced personnel whose sole mission is to support shipboard Unit Phase Training.

2. ATG provides many resources for the Training Officer. One great source for the resources is the ATG Atlantic web site, https://www.atg.surfor.navy.mil. During the post-deployment maintenance period and Commanding Officer's time, the Training Officer should tap these resources early and often. The following outlines available resources:

3. Unit Phase Tools: The CNAF CVN OPERATIONS OFFICER, responsible for scheduling the CART II, TSTA’s, and FEP, can be reached at (757) 444-7696. Other schedule requests, such as the Shipboard Training Team Seminar, should be directed to the Training Command Scheduler, ATGL (757) 445-2152 or 2153/DSN 565 or ATGP (619) 556-0903/DSN 526, ATGM at (904)270-7403/DSN 960.

TOOL NUMBER TWENTY-FIVE

CV-SHARP/DRRS-N

BACKGROUND: The Defense Readiness Reporting System Navy (DRRS-N) is an OSD-sponsored initiative, with CFFC acting as executive agent. The initiative is designed to migrate reporting away from SORTS, a completion-based reporting system, towards a capability-based assessment. Capability-based assessments are grounded in the Navy Mission Essential Task List (NMETL).

DRRS-N maps NMETL accomplishment against five major warfare areas: Power Projection, Air Superiority, Maritime Superiority, Amphibious Operations and Anti-terrorism/Force Protection (ATFP). These are all compared against a Major Combat Operations standards. The accumulation of successful NMETS within the five warfare areas will turn a unit's respective readiness indices "green" meaning MCO ready, "yellow" MCO ready (with risk), and "red" not MCO ready.

Integration with the fleet training capability and costing system (FTTCS) will permit senior leadership to understand at a glance what units are ready for what missions, and, ultimately, any additional training and resources required to get a unit to the next capability level.

CVN training and readiness matrix training opportunities are known as training events (TSTA/FEP, COMPTUEX, FST-U) subordinate to those training events are sub-events, roughly analogous to the FXPs that we have used until now to assess and report our training status. These sub-events are mapped to NMETS, often multiple NMETS depending on the sub-event.

DRRS-N reporting is unit specific. CNAF is interested in understanding the relationship between unit training readiness and the individuals who have actually accomplished the training within the ship's lifelines.

Knowing this relationship will allow greater visibility and insight on readiness impacts as trained personnel transfer from the command. Taking an FRTP phase-based view of this data will also give the air boss insight into the status of both the individual units and the force as a whole, all compared against an entitlement glide slope and referenced to the FRTP. These dual insights will allow CNAF to provide meaningful managerial oversight and support units as they progress towards deployment, while also enabling leadership to quickly identify emerging adverse trends and apply remedies. As such, CFFC and OSD are not the only customers of your training data. The TYCOM insight will be mapped to the traditional Primary Mission Areas (PRMAR) areas encompassed by the CVN ROC/POE.

CV-SHARP will tie training accomplishment and training event periodicities to individual watch standers within your lifelines. There are 62 team types identified aboard each CVN, encompassing 134 total teams and representing 1,750 individuals, each "owning" their training

7-28

points. These points will be sorted into the 11 traditional PRMAR bins and be measured against entitlement throughout the FRTP. As a ship progresses through the training cycle, an increasing number of watch teams will demonstrate an increased level of training readiness. This will be our metric of individual training accomplishment.
