General Info Flashcards
During a 2.1/1.1 event, the ship does not meet minimum equipment in AW/SW and COMMS. How far in the training block the ship can go?
SW - PRIOR to proceeding to the next block of training (2.2).
AW - Minimum equipment must be met PRIOR to proceeding to 2.3.
COMMS - Minimum equipment must be met PRIOR to completion of 1.3.
If a specific Minimum equipment item does NOT have any impact to the follow-on training events (Example: SW tab and SPS-67 radar), what is the process to proceed without meeting minimum equipment?
During theEnd of Day report, I
1) let the CO know that the ship does not meet minimum equipment.
2) it has no impact to follow on training and recommend they proceed anyways (up to the 2.3, but not entering the 2.4).
3) If the equipment is not expected to be up by the 2.4, I recommend the ship send a waiver to TYCOM, via ISIC to proceed with to 2.4 without minimum equipment.
Ending: “Certification held in Abeyance” message upon achieving Minimum Equipment.
When are LOK’s administered?
Expected answer: during the *.3 block
(CRY states 2.4)
When are Casualty Drill guides reviewed for SW/AW/EW/CRY?
Expected answer: Must be reviewed during the 2.2 event (prior to proceeding to the 2.3)
What makes up the major components of a SOP Deviation?
Expected answer: Event Name, Deviation, Mitigation, Risk.
What are the two main reasons you would need to do a SOP deviation?
Expected answer: Amount of Days, or number of Trainers (including NEC’s)
Who has approval authority for a Read-E3 SOP Deviation
Expected Answer: Commanding Officer, ATGWP.
Who has approval authority for a 2.4 SOP Deviation?
Expected Answer: Commodore, ATGPAC
What is the biggest difference of an ADMIN Read-E3 and a normal Read-E3?
(Deliverables if brought up: No ADMIN Read-E3 exists per SFRM, so if conducting one and you do not need/meet SOP, SOP Deviations still need to be submitted)
ADMIN Read-E3: Ship doesn’t conduct any drills/scenarios (no grading of RE’s).
Normally, ADMIN Read-E3’s are combined
with the 2.1/1.1, which mean that ATG goes onboard and conducts a full 2.1/1.1, and adds the component of SOH/Read-E1 review to the event. Two Separate EOMR’s are submitted.
On Monday morning, you look at the schedule and see you are the Team Lead for a BONHOMME RICHARD AW/SW/EW/INT/CRY 2.2 event in 5 weeks.
What is the planning process for travel starting from NOW until you departing Narita.
(Travel embark is Sasebo, Disembark is Okinawa)
(DTS issues the C.N.A in Sasebo, and has lodging on base in OKINAWA)
1) Team Lead verifies embark/disembark from Scheduler (NOT TLO).
2) Team Lead goes into DTS, selects his/her flights and LODGING. Once plane information is booked, they print out the cost data sheet and gives it to the Scheduler.
3) Email the entire team with flight information and lodging location to have them match up.
4) The week prior to execution, Team Lead conducts a Pre-Ride brief ensuring that EVERYONE has a passport with them, delivers a meeting point and TIME, and briefs any other questions/issues with the event.
Now you are U/W on day 2, at 1500 when OPS
comes into the classroom you are teaching in, and states “I need you to stop training immediately, and follow me up the the CO’s Cabin”. When you arrive,
they tell you that they just got tasked with real world operations and can NOT disembark you in Okinawa, like originally planned. The only opportunity
to disembark you is in 1 hour by TUG-BOAT they arranged, but you will have to disembark into Pusan, Korea. Take me through the process from NOW until
you arrive back at Yokosuka.
(Korea does NOT need a C.N.A)
(Public transportation is ALWAYS authorized on our orders)
1) Inform the Ship immediately that you will need a letter of embarkation for immigration, and your passports stamped by a husbanding agent.
2) Inform the CO that once you get back to Yokosuka, you will have the TLO communicate back to the ship on re-scheduling the 2.2 Remedial to cover the topics which were not completed.
3) Inform your ATG crew to pack their bags, and get ready to disembark. If able, send a quick email to the
CO, XO, TLO and CSO informing them of the situation and you will call them once able.
4) Once you arrive in Pusan, look for a hotel that is within the Lodging rates. Team Lead should call SATO and change the flights to fly out the next day.
5) Once they change their flights, either pass the phone to the next Team Member to have everyone change the flights together, or tell everyone what flights to pick so that everyone can try to be on the same flight.
You look at the schedule and notice that you are the Team Lead for a SHILOH AW/SW/EW/INT/CRY 2.4B event. What is significant about the 2.4B event compared to a 2.1 or 2.2 event?
2.4B event is a mandatory Fleet Synthetic Training
exercise (FST), which utilized Tactical Training Group Pacific (TTGP) Fleet Battle Lab to conduct distributed scenarios.
When you are a Team Lead for an event which utilized the Battle Lab, what messages/items does ATGWP need to provide, and what messages/items does TTGP provide?
Deliverables: TTGP does NOT give the ship the timeline. It is the Team Leads responsibility to arrange deliverance of the timeline
- ATGWP needs to send out an “Announcement Message” To the Ship, INFO: ISIC, TTGP that includes an SOE and requirements of watchbill.
- Prior to the event, TTGP sends out a “Letter of Intent” that give Link and Communication parameters for the event.
- TTGP places a folder on the SIPR CAS site which includes all of the deliverables (OPTASKS, Card of the Week, etc) the ship will need to conduct the event.
You are conducting a AW/SW/EW/INT/CRY 2.4B event, and are conducting Day 3 Scenarios (Which is Thursday). The AAWC (BLUE) watchstander had a really bad day for some reason, and scored a 45% on SM-2 engagements. Your AAWC Assessor tells you after the scenario that it is impossible for him to meet
the 80% AVERAGE requirement unless he conducts 4 scenarios all with 100%.
What do you do?
- If all other CE’s are above 80% for both BLUE/GOLD, then one option is to close out the 2.4B with all CE’s graded (EOMR including recommending a 2.4 remedial to cover CE-06).
- Friday Morning schedule a 2.4 Remediation scenario to assess CE-06 only (BLUE AAWC watchstander only). If he gets above an 80%, then document the score in the remediation EOMR.
You are conducting a AW/SW/EW/INT/CRY 2.4B event, and OSC Smith hands you the grade-sheets for AAWC, states “he’s good to go with an 82%” and you outbrief the CO on the ship stating they are recommended for certification. Once you get back to the office (Friday afternoon), you are finalizing the
End of Mission Report when you notice that the grades OSC Smith gave you only averaged to 78%. What do you do?
- Grab OSC Smith, and ensure the grades are correct 78%).
- Tell CSO what happened, and inform the TLO.
- Between CSO, TLO and yourself, decide what is going to be briefed to both our CO and the ship CO
(taking into account ships schedule and follow-on events). - Bring both CSO and TLO with you when you outbrief the ships CO.
## The "way-ahead" is going to be based off of ships schedule, ATG schedule and personnel availability. The answer may be to do the remediation Friday afternoon, or Saturday, or possibly the next week or next month.## ## Bottom line is that the SHIP did not achieve the minimum score needed for certification, and it's not ATG's fault that happened (only our fault for delivering the wrong outcome during the outbrief).##
