(02) Should be considered for use any time there is interfering noise, physical barriers to communications, or need for heightened team coordination,
(03) If lost or unavailable, shall be reported via CASREP,
(04) If lost or unavailable, need not prevent an asset from performing assigned missions.

What is Step I (Presents)in the V on V UOF?
2-22

2-26
Vessel Posing Imminent Threat
What is a Limited Access Area (LAA)?
3-4
The Coast Guard’s primary tools to restrict access to, and control movement within, certain areas are generally referred to as Regulated Navigation Area (RNA) or Limited Access Areas (LAA).
What are 4 typical LAA used for security purposes?
3-4
(01) Security Zones (SZs),
(02) Naval Vessel Protection Zones (NVPZs),
(03) Restricted waterfront areas,
(04) Safety zones.
What is a Security Zone(SZ)?
2-5
designated areas of land, water, or land and water established for such time as the Captain of the Port (COTP) deems necessary to prevent damage or injury to any vessel or waterfront facility; to safeguard ports, harbors, territories, or waters of the United States. they require a minimum of 2 RBs, can be fixed or infixed, and optimal size is 2000yards
Who creates SZ?
3-5
COTP or District
What are the 5 over lapping zones in a SZ?
3-5
(01) Boundary,
(02) Intercept Zone,
(03) Reaction Zone,
(04) Sector,
(05) Patrol Area.
What is the intercept zone?
3-7
The Intercept Zone (IZ) is the area inside the SZ where TOIs should be intercepted. Initial contact is made at the outer edge of the IZ to allow maximum reaction time
What is the Reaction Zone?
3-8
The Reaction Zone (RZ) is the area, contained completely within the SZ, where vessels that pose an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury shall not be allowed to enter . Repeated failure to comply with orders to stop may or may not be required to designate the vessel as a VPIT.
What is to happen if a SV calls “VPIT,VPIT,VPIT”?
3-8
Use of the term VPIT indicates that the SV Coxswain has determined, based on the actions of the TOI, that the TOI poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to the SZPU or the guarded asset (HVA). The RV and all available SVs are required to use all force available to stop the VPIT unless they determine that the VPIT’s actions are no longer imminent and/or serious.
What is a sector as it pertains to a SZ?
3-9
portion of the SZ defined by boundary lines that converge at the asset. Sectors are designated with letters (e.g., Sector A). Normally, no more than four sectors are necessary within the entire SZ
How large is a Naval Vessel Protection Zone (NVPZ)?
3-10
a 500-yard regulated area of water surrounding U.S. naval vessels that is necessary to provide for the safety or security of these U.S. naval vessels. When within an NVPZ, all vessels shall operate at the minimum speed necessary to maintain a safe course, unless required to maintain speed by the Navigation Rules, and shall proceed as directed by the Coast Guard, the senior naval officer present in command, or the PATCOM
No vessel are allowed with in ____ yards of a large Naval Vessel?

What is a Screen Vessel (SV)?
3-11
intercepts an incoming vessel to determine its intent. The SV detects, identifies, investigates, classifies, reports, warns off, and, if necessary, engages Targets of Interest (TOI). Using tactics described in this Manual, the SV is responsible for keeping the incoming vessel out of the SZ while maintaining a screening position between the incoming vessel and the protected High Value Asset (HVA). The SV also escorts TOIs out of the SZ, secures the transit route of moving HVAs, and restrains traffic at strategic locations, if required.
