SURFACE FORCE TRAINING AND READINESS MANUAL
COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANT INSTRUCTION 3502.7
Purpose
The Surface Force Training and Readiness Manual (STRM) provides a w Fleet Response Training Plan (FRT) for surface ships to achieve Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFP) readiness. Proper maintenance execution, coupled with foundational training that reinforces standards compliance, allows ships to enter the Basic Phase unencumbered by material deficiencies. The approach to training, discussed in detail in
Chapter 4, methodically builds proficiency at theIndividual, Watch Team, Unit, and Group levels.
5 Phases of the Fleet Response Training Plan
Sustainment
Maintenance Phase
Shakedown
Basic Phase
Advanced / Integrated Phase
Sustainment
Sustainment Phase begins after USFFC/CPE/C2F/C3F/C5F/C6F/ C7F approves the recommendation for deployment certification and ends when the ship meets the exit criteria detailed in
Chapter 4. During Sustainment Phase, a ship maintains and improves
PESTO pillar readiness. Ship and external
organization material assessments conducted during this phase.
Maintenance Phase
start of CNO Availability or other designated by the TYCOM and ends after the ship successfully meets the exit criteria detailed in Chapter 4. The ship will improve PESTO pillar readiness to be able to perform in Basic Phase. Specifically, the ship will strive to complete all required schoolhouse training identified in Fleet Training Management and Planning System (FLTMPS), ensure installed systems are fully operational, verify training and qualification programs are fully established and maintained, complete administrative checks with ATG, and complete all classroom training for post-maintenance phase.
Basic Phase
begins after the ship successfully exits Shakedown Phase and ends when the ship meets exit criteria, or when directed by TYCOM, A ship conducts unit-level training and improves PESTO readiness pillars to be able to perform in Advanced and Integrated Phases.
Advanced / Integrated Phase
• Advanced Phase starts at the completion of Basic Phase and ends when the ship meets Advanced Phase exit criteria. During Advanced Phase, a ship conducts multi-unit tactical level training (e.g. SWATT) in preparation for Integrated Phase.
Integrated Phase starts upon completion of Advanced Phase and ends when the ship meets exit criteria detailed in Chapter 4, typically upon completion of the Group Tactical training syllabus or certification exercise and designation of the unit as certified for deployment. During Integrated
a ship conducts multi-unit, multi-platform training and improve PESTO pillar readiness to be able to perform in a Strike Group, ARG, or another multi-unit group.

What are the Training Blocks
Preliminary (PTV)
Administrative Review (A-1)
Material Assessment (M-1)
Training (T-1)
Assessment (AS-1)
Certification (C-1)
What is the Primalry training visit
• Preliminary Training Visit [PTV]: prepares the ship for the successful entry into the Basic Phase and normally occurs while the ship still in the Maintenance Phase. Education and Training Event.
What is the Administrative Review (A-1)?
• Administrative Review (A-1) The Administrative review will focus on preparing ship’s force personnel for entering the Basic
Phase and achieving mission area certification. Training Teams and Watch Teams will conduct classroom training for each mission area
What is the Material Assessment (M-1) Review?
findings from previous mission visit. Provide fundamentals training to watch standers through over-the-shoulder training (shipboard training). Provide training on scenario planning, briefing, execution and debriefing (PBED) to watch standers and Training Teams.
Training (T-1)
Training will be conducted during Administrative review (A-1) and Material assessment (M-1) events.
Assessment (As-1)
• Assessment (As-1) Conducted underway in order to accomplish Mission Area training and Training Team Evaluations on all proficiency events. To integrate and train ships personnel on the requirements for operations.
Certification (C-1)
assess the training provided to watch standers and apply it to Mission area evolutions.Assess Training Team level of knowledge (LOK) and ability to execute PBED in order to build and maintain watch team proficiency.
Certification is defined as all CE’s are met and successfully completed.

READ-E 1: Mandatory Ship self-assessment READINESS EVALUATIONS
READ-E 1: Mandatory Ship self-assessment during the Sustainment Phase while the ship is on deployment. The purpose is to assist the Commanding Officer in the planning and successful execution of maintenance and training for upcoming OFRP cycle. During READ-E 1, self-assessment of their manning, schools, material, proficiency, and other requirements. The duration of READ-E 1 is determined by the ship, but must be completed and findings reported to Administrative Control (ADCON) ISIC / TYCOM at least 45 days prior to returning from deployment.
• READ-E 2: TYCOM-led Assessment
• READ-E 2: TYCOM-led Assessment of material condition conducted during the Sustainment Phase.
It is mandatory for ships
conducting an INSURV MI during that Sustainment Phase. It is conducted in conjunction with an underway period and must be completed before the start of the Maintenance Phase. READ-E 2 replicates the demonstrations and critical events that will be performed during the Maintenance Phase Contractor Sea Trials and TYCOM Sea Trials.
All deficiencies identified during READ-E 2 will be added to the CSMP within five working days of receipt.
TYCOM will send
a READ-E 2 Report within five working days of completing all sub-events.
