PERDOMO cards Flashcards
When is it Acceptable to Damage an Asset?
- when the probability of SAVING LIVES or RELIEVING INTENSE PAIN is reasonable, and no other alternative exists, DAMAGE AND making the boat UNRECOVERABLE is ACCEPTABLE.
- the probability of SAVING PROPERTY is UNQUESTIONABLY MORE VALUABLE than the boat, damage is acceptable IF the CAN be replaced
Probability V.S. Possibility
- the PROBABILITY of saving human life warrants a maximum effort. When no suitable alternative exists and the mission has a reasonable chance of success,
- the risk of Damage to or abuse of the boat is acceptable , even though such damage or abuse may render the boat unrecoverable.
- The POSSIBILITY of saving human life or the probability of preventing or relieving intense pain or suffering warrants the risk of damage to or abuse of the boat if recovering the boat can reasonably be expected.
What are the 5 stages of SAR?
Awareness Initial Actions Planning Operations Conclusions
Sweep Width
Distance at which the probability of detecting a target outside the distance is equal to the probability of missing the target inside the distance.
Non Distress
AUX towing
An AUX vessel U/W on orders that happens upon a non-distress vessel can tow at it Coxswains Discretion; Keep SMC informed
Liability in SAR OPS
Negligence was determined if:
It was the approximate Cause “ of the Damage”

Liability in SAR exists when…
U.S.C. States SAR MAY be conducted if decision is made, certain actions can make you liable of negligence.

Mission & Purpose of SAR Program
To prevent Death/Injury, loss or Damage to property in the marine environment
Minimize risk
Optimize resources
Potential Danger Is treated…
as actual danger.. Until proven otherwise
14 USC 102 PRIMARY DUTIES
D.E.M.O. ->

14 USC 900
“The secretary Shall ensure that each CG small boat station, At Least one Vessel that is Fully Capable of performing Offshore rescue ops.”
includes seasonal station smalls
Safe Haven
Triple AAA
A Safe haven is considered a place that can ACCOMMODATE and will ACCEPT the safe mooring of the vessel, and has AVAILABLE MEANS of COMMUNICATION , normally a telephone.
Actual Distress
Threatened by grave or imminent danger
Requires IMMEDIATE Assistance
Crew Fatigue
Max Hrs in 24 hr Period bigger than 4ft: 6hrs less than 4ft: 8hrs rest required= 8hrs trailering 350 miles or 8hrs sheltered Anchoring reduces Fatigue by 50%
what is Uncorrelated Distress
Doesn’t include position or other significant info to generate a reasonable search area
Force Evacuation
May compel or force Mariners to abandon their vessel when a life threatening emergency exists. LE personnel may use force to compel compliance .
SMC discretion
Entering Foreign Territorial Waters
By “Assistance Entry” CG can Enter Foreign Territorial Seas if there is a REASONABLE CERTAINTY OF DISTRESS, and the rescue unit is in a position to RENDER timely assistance.
Goals of the SAR Program: “ 4 things”
- PREVENT loss of life/ Injury& Property Damage
- MINIMIZE risk to crew
- OPTIMIZE the use of resources
- MAINTAIN global leadership in SAR
Boat COXN SHALL;
“9 SORM ref. A-E

When can the CXN leave the boat?
While completing the mission is secondary to safety of the crew, passengers, and boat. the CXN can leave the boat if:
- in the CXNs judgment , and after careful consideration of the remaining crew members experience “ that the operational befits clearly outweigh the risks “ of leaving the boat unmanned.
- if time allows, concurr with the CO
CG General salvage policy
CG “ SHOULD ENGAGE” is salvage towing when;
- no commercial salvage is on scene
- limited Salvage “ can prevent a worsening situation or complete loss of the vessel.”
- if its within the units capabilities
Factors to consider Casualty (9 things)
- Safety; Physical Condition of Crew/ Boat
2, Equipment limitations due to Casualty - Forecasted weather/ current conditions
- Urgency of Mission
- Update GAR
- Shift lookouts
- WEAR/USE PPE, Survival equip properly
- Don’t jeopardize vessel/ crew
- Wear Kill Switch

- Accept no Unnecessary risks
- Make risk decisions at the appropriate level
- integrate risk Management into all phases of CG missions & activities
2 Foundational Principals of CG Salvage
- CG units Personnel shall not be unduly Hazarded in performing salvage
- at discretion of CO/OIC

Trackline Search
Follows a Vessels intended Route:
- used when - intended route is the only available info
- rapid coverage of proposed track is desired
think: overdue F/V that provided Marina W/ intended Route/ Destination, and time U/W
Sector Search (SS)
Legs= Radius
Turns= 120* to the right
Track spacing =radius
15 seconds buffer time/ goal 9 min
- must have good datum
- Used in small search areas for small objects
- MOB/PIW
- VM search is 30* to the right
Expanding square(SS)
CSP is at Datum, 1st leg is in the direction of drift, turns are 90* to the Right, every 3rd leg is twice the the distdance or time
you NEED
- Good Datum but there is some Doubt
- Small Search Area
Provided Expanding Coverage in all Directions
-min of 5 legs
Barrier Search (SS)
Major Axis Perpendicular to the Direction of the Drift, SRUs run Back and forth along the Down Current end of the Search Area.
-Strong Current Exists
- Containment of Datum is paramount
Think: Person falls off Bridge and you want to prevent them from floating out to sea

Creep Search
- Search Legs Align with Minor Axis
- Higher Probability Search Object is one end of area than the other
- Provides uniform coverage
Trackline single Unit NON- Return (TSN)
same as TSR Except that the Search Terminates as the opposite end of the Track from CSP
Actions of SMC
- advise Mariner of assistance policy
- Seeks Desires of Mariner
- Broadcasts MARB if Mariner Dosen’t have Someone to call.
- Monitor response time of Commercial Responder (Must be reasonable)
- Monitor situation, respond accordingly
Parallel Search
Search legs align with major axis
- to cover large area
- provide uniform coverage
- best for multiple SRUs “object can be anywhere”
Trackline Single Unit Return (TSR)
- Intended Route of the search object is known for the search of a trackline or line of Position when unit must Break off search at same end of track as search originated
- 1/2 track space on either side of datum line.
