5 Phases of the Fleet Response Training Plan
Notionally 27-months, the FRTP is aligned with the Fleet Response Plan (FRP) and consists of Five Phases:
- Maintenance Phase
- Shakedown Phase
- Basic Phase
- Integrated/ Advanced Phase
- Sustainment
Maintenance Phase
Establishes a material foundation that will support Basic Phase training, subsequent operations, and maintenance and modernization to meet the ship’s Expected Service Life (ESL). Start of a CNO availability period. Ships focus on individual watch team, and schoolhouse training to build the foundation for unit level readiness. NAV Check and mission area Certification’s Expiration happens here and Mission Area Figure of Merit (FOM) re-sets!
Shakedown Phase
Verifies the ship’s material condition, supports Basic Phase Training, and ensures that all systems, including training systems, meet established material condition standards
Basic Phase
Train and certify a ship in all mission area’s and be able to perform operations as an individual unit. Which includes adherence to material standards, watch station and watch team training, unit level exercise at port and at sea. TYCOM certifies that the ship has completed the Basic Phase. All Mission Area Certifications must be achieved to exit this Phase! Waivers must include: Description of Circumstances Leading to Ships Ability to meet Specific Exit Criteria, Current Efforts to correct deficiencies, and Anticipated date criterion will be satisfied.
Integrated/ Advanced Phase
Combine individual unit warfare skill set into a single cohesive Strike Group, ARG, or mission-oriented deployable unit capable of operating within a challenging, multi-warfare, joint, multinational, and interagency environment.
Sustainment
Maintain the highest level of certification until the end of the FRTP or otherwise directed by USFF/FJO/NFC through the completion of applicable mission area Repetitive Exercises (Re’s). The focus of this phase is to maintain readiness across the full spectrum of mission areas in order to be ready to conduct prompt and sustained combat operations. Mandatory assessments during this phase: AT,FSO-M, MOB-D, 3-M, Supply, Explosive Safety
Two Parts of Basic Phase
Tier 1
Tier 2
Basic Phase Tier 1
Mobility: Engineering, Navigation, Seamanship, *Damage Control, Maintenance and Material *Management (3M), *Supply, Anti-Terrorism (AT), Aviation, Search and Rescue, Communications, *Explosive Safety, and *Medical
Basic Phase Tier 2
Unit Tactical: Air Warfare, Anti-Mine Warfare, Ballistic Missile Defense, Surface Warfare, Undersea Warfare, Strike Warfare, Information Operations , Intelligence, and VBSS).
Training Blocks
5 Training Blocks
- Preliminary Training Visit [PTV]
- Block 1
- Block 2
- Block 3
- Block 4
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
Block 1
material assessment event and will focus on material readiness to ensure ship’s force has the required material knowledge and that equipment and systems are functioning to specification
Block 2
theory and fundamentals training events that will focus on operator and maintainer skills
Block 3
individual and Team Training Event that will consist of Team Training scenarios and evolutions using embedded synthetic training systems or live services as applicable
Block 4
assessment and qualification event. It will require demonstrating required knowledge level and proficiency within the given mission area through the completion of applicable Certification Events

Discuss abbreviated Basic Phase
When a ship isn’t allotted enough time to complete a Basic Phase following CNO availability. A tailored training plan will be built based on the READ-E 3.
Readiness Evaluations
READ-E 1 READ-E 2 READ E 3 READ-E 4 READ-E 5 READ-E 6 READ-E 7 Our Training Liaison Officers assist in READ-E 3 Coordination. WE also provide a tailored list of Tier 2 materials checks to READ-E 6 event Coordinator a week before READ-E 6.
READ-E 1
-Ship self-assessment-executed during the Sustainment Phase, typically while the ship is on deployment. The purpose of READ-E 1 is for the ship to perform a critical self-assessment of their manning, material, schooling, and other requirements in order to gain an assessment of their readiness to conduct the next FRTP cycle
READ-E 2
-TYCOM-led assessment- of material condition executed during the Sustainment Phase following READ-E 1. It is conducted in conjunction with an underway period and must be completed before the start of the Maintenance Phase
READ E 3
-TYCOM-led validation- event conducted during the Sustainment Phase. The event may be conducted in conjunction with READ-E 2 and is comprised of three primary events: READ-E 1Validation; Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) and Environmental Programs Review; and the Command Readiness Assist Visit (CRAV)
READ-E 4
-TYCOM-led assessment of the ship’s readiness to exit the Maintenance Phase.- READ-E 4 is conducted at the end of the Maintenance Phase, nominally in the last three weeks. It is comprised of five events: Light Off Assessment (LOA); Crew Certification; Dock Trials/Fast Cruise; Navigation Assessment; and Contractor (KTR) Sea Trials.
READ-E 5
-TYCOM-led assessment of the ship’s readiness to commence Basic Phase training. Its nominal duration is one month.- READ-E 5 is comprised of four events: TSRA 4; Tier 1 and Tier 2 Material Checks; a Continuing Maintenance Availability (CMAV); and TYCOM Sea Trials. Due to the scope of READ-E 5, TYCOM shall be responsible for de-conflicting the various events.
READ-E 6
TYCOM-led assessment that verifies the ship’s readiness to transition from Tier 1 (Mobility) to Tier 2 (Unit Tactical)
READ-E 7
one month period allotted to the ship in order to prepare for and conduct an INSURV or TYCOM Material Inspection (MI)
Certification Validation
Support certification extension for ships without a dedicated CNO Availability period between scheduled deployments.
