What is the warrented risck policy
Damage to or sacrifice of the boat is an acceptable risk in the defense of the United States, its citizens, and/or installations. 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. The probability of saving property of the United States or its citizens warrants the risk of damage to the boat if the value of the property to be saved is unquestionably greater than the cost of boat damage and the boat is fully expected to be recoverable. The possibility of recovering evidence and interdicting or apprehending alleged violators of Federal law does not warrant probable damage to or abuse of the boat, unless in defense of self or others.

The letter will clearly state that the vessel shall only be operated during transit to the unit, initial training and familiarization, and for the engine break-in period. Upon completion of all applicable tasks, the “core group” shall receive certification in TMT for the new boat type and can provide training to remaining unit personnel. The unit CO/OIC shall then notify the Operational Commander. Interim certifications for coxswain and engineer may be combined with the boat crewmember certification and shall be recorded in the TMT system. The combined certifications may be entered into the TMT system with the same calendar date. Units should seek all available resources while transitioning to a new platform. Training teams or other local units that operate the same type of platform are good resources.
