Introduction – Building Block Approach

The overall training objective of Naval Air Force units is to achieve the highest level of training attainable with the resources available. To execute this training strategy, Naval Aviation relies on many interrelated components.

The CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standardThe CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standard

Matrix Concept – Overview

• The CB T&R Matrix will cover an entire FRTP cycle with direct links to Flight Hour funding for each R+ month. Readiness output is incremental and directly associated with Flight Hours and major FRTP events.

• Each matrix includes: Task List Simulator Contribution Section Task to Skill Matrix (with periodicities) Skills List Squadron/Detachment

Requirements Section NMETLs Resource Summary Page FRS Baseline ACTC Mapping Page

UNCLASSIFIED

Matrix Concept – IARS-SRS/DRS

IARSIARSSRS/DRSSRS/DRS

Each Matrix is comprised of twoelements that contribute to NTAreadiness.

• IARS (Individual Aircrew Requirements Section) - Defines the skills required to form skilled crews (Pf)

• SRS/DRS (Squadron/Detachment Requirements Section) - Defines the squadron experience level (Ef)

10

UNCLASSIFIED

Matrix Concept – IARS

The skills in the IARS are divided into the Production section and Sustainmentsub-section.

• All Production skills must be completed prior to Deployment due to resource limitations while on deployment

• Sustainment skills are those critical skills required while on Deployment

• Production and Sustainment skills are based on real-world resource requirements and limitations

• Once in the employability window, units will focus on Sustainment skills but may still obtain readiness through “Production Only” skills

11

UNCLASSIFIED

Matrix Concept – SRS/DRS

The Squadron Requirements Section is based on the major events within the FRTP as well as special qualifications.

As a minimum, the SRS shall contain

• ACTC levels• CVW Fallon (CVW squadrons only)• COMPTUEX (CVW squadrons only)• ARP (if applicable to the community)• Training Ordnance, High Training Value Ordnance, or End-to-End Ordnance

Matrix Concept – Task Events/Periodicities

As tasks are performed, skills are achieved over a given periodicity



14

UNCLASSIFIED

Matrix Concept – Simulators

• Credit is based on the number of Optional (O) or Required (R) tasks that shall be accomplished in a simulator (SIM) within a skills periodicity

• Simulators are a mandatory part of the T&R matrix

• Simulator contribution is determined by the Type Wing as the number of skills that can be accomplished in a simulator

15

Matrix Concept – Ordnance

Ordnance is divided into three categories based on the contribution of thatweapon to readiness.

• Training Ordnance (TO) Weapons expended in an FRTP by a unit’s COB active crew members,

divided by the number of COB crew members

• High Training Value Ordnance (HTV) Number of crews that have expended an HTV weapon within an FRTP

• End-to-End Ordnance (E2E) The whole number required per squadron, per FRTP

View Ordnance by Category

20

UNCLASSIFIED

Matrix Concept – Ordnance/Business Rules

• TO and HTV tied to the aircrew who expended the ordnance. Each TMS decided who gets credit within the crew

• E2E tied to the squadron regardless of who expended them

• In all cases, crews can transfer ordnance qualifications between squadrons but not expenditures

• Detachment-based squadrons may transfer ordnance between detachments for ordnance expended in the same FRTP

• All FDNF Ordnance is considered E2E

21

UNCLASSIFIED

Matrix Concept – FHP Requirements

• Validates Flight Hour requirements through readiness

• 90 day rolling average: CO flexibility Events-based scheduling

• Target Value: 90 day rolling average of Flight Hour entitlement (T&R hours only)

• Measurement Value: 90 day rolling average of all hours executed (T&R hours + MESH)

• Ramifications of execution shortfall explained in TFOM calculations

• Measurement values for Flight Hour calculations include Active Crews On Board and Visitors

The FHP column in the matrix prevents artificial readiness inflation without flight hour utilization.

General Policy Guidelines - Key FRTP Dates

It is essential that squadrons and detachments understand the impact of the following dates since they can greatly effect the readiness calculations in SHARP. These dates are managed at the TYCOM level via the Master Aviation Plan (MAP) and, in some cases, delegated to TYPEWINGs for management.

• FRTP Start Date This the beginning of an FRTP Cycle. Normally, the FRTP date affects ordnance

expenditures and other SRS/DRS items

• Employability Start Date For CVW squadrons, this is the completion of C2X or Fallon, whichever happens last For non-CVW units, this is the completion of C2X or as defined by your TYPEWING For all units, this date marks the crossover point between Production and Sustainment

skills

•Phase Transition date Normally used by non CVW based units (VP, ETC) Indicates the date the unit moves from Production to Sustainment

25

UNCLASSIFIED

General Policy Guidelines – FDNF

• FDNF Units include: CVW-5 HSL-51

• Due to the dynamic schedule and limited resources, FDNF units are required to maintain higher levels of readiness

• Flight Hour funding is elevated to maintain higher state of readiness

• All FDNF ordnance is considered End-to-End

26

UNCLASSIFIED

General Policy Guidelines – Reserves

• Reserve Units Include: TSW Squadrons VR VP-62 and VP-69 HSC-84, HSC-85, and HSL-60

• HM-14 and HM-15 reserve components use the Active Component matrix

• Same format and methodology as their Active Component counterparts

• Higher periodicities due to greater experience levels

27

UNCLASSIFIED

General Policy Guidelines - Waivers

• Waivers may be requested when resources are not available or when external factors (weather, operational tasking, range availability, etc.) preclude execution of tasks in the T&R matrix

• Carrier Air Wing Commanders shall initiate waiver requests for squadrons under their operational control

• Type Wing Commanders shall initiate waiver requests for squadrons not attached to a CVW and all detachments under their administrative control

• Waiver format example embedded within instruction

• Generally, waivers are approved by CNAF N40. If resources such as Ordnance or Flight Hours are affected, the decision to approve/disapprove moves to the CNAF Chief of Staff

UNCLASSIFIED

General Policy Guidelines - Reports

• Units are required to transmit their SHARP training data to the Aviation Data Warehouse (ADW) at least once every 15 days using the SHARP generated Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) report

All units shall submit CRA data within 15 days of the previous CRA Units in the FRTP cycle shall submit CRAs at the completion of major FRTP

milestones (at a minimum: SFARP, ARP, Fallon, C2X, and JTFEX)

• The CRA data provides the updated squadron training data that feeds the Training T Pillar in the DRRS-N automated assessment

• The CRA allows COs to “QA” their squadron data before it is passed to DRRS-N

General Policy Guidelines - Reports

Units should review the Dashboard and CBR Skills report when assessing training readiness in DRRS-N. These reports provide a comprehensive picture of the Ef and Pf elements that make up the TFOM in DRRS-N. The CBR Skills report also provide the basis for the CO to make comments in DRRS-N that explain which skills are required to achieve MCO readiness levels.

Readiness Expectations

• The Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) standards are designed to incrementally prepare a unit for its full wartime readiness

• During an FRTP cycle, the expectations of readiness increase progressively from “No”(Red) in the maintenance phase to “Yes”(Green) at the beginning of a unit’s employability window

• The commander’s assessment is expected to change from red to yellow as the unit moves from the basic phase to the intermediate phase assuming that the unit is on track and is resourced appropriately in the FRTP

• Units should strive to maintain a “Yes”(Green) throughout their employability window unless their mission forces a degrade in certain Capability Areas (single mission focus, non-wartime tasking)

• Not all units follow this type of FRTP model (HM, VQ(T), VPU, and FDNF)

Note: Currently MOB is the only Capability Area that is intended to be green prior to the employability phase.

T Pillar

Maintenance Basic Intermediate Employability

35

UNCLASSIFIED36

• Know your average flight hour funding for 90 days to know your expected level of readiness for the end of that period

• You have to fly to get readiness (a GOOD thing)

• Logging really matters! Especially in skills that cross multiple NTAs

• Management of the SHARP Program is critical Training Officer, AOPS T&R and syllabus both have to factor into how your write your flight schedule

•.Understand your readiness expectations

• Know what your R+ months are throughout your FRTP cycle

• Use the SHARP CBR skills report to explain Pf degradations in DRRS-N
