SFRM policy execution depends on the integration of manning, maintenance, training and sustainment throughout all Fleet Response Plan (FRP) phases. It begins with meticulous maintenance planning to generate the materiel readiness required to support unencumbered, effective training and operational readiness that ultimately leads to a self-sufficient ship. Sustain Self-sufficiency Maintenance Maintain Material Readiness Ownership Experience Effective training Mission accomplishment Knowledgeable watchstander Operate Knowledgeable watchteam Train The fundamental tenets of the SFRM include the following: Train the watchstander and maintainer A standard, predictable path to readiness Personnel, Equipment, Supply, Training, and Ordnance (PESTO pillars) exit criteria Simple shipboard reporting across all PESTO pillars A sequenced, building-block approach to readiness Consistent material assessment standards among all assessment organizations The SFRM defines a continual process that educates ships on what the standards are; determines where the ship is relative to standards; helps the ship achieve standards compliance through training, assessments, and maintenance actions; and circles back periodically to ensure the lessons and effects of this process endure. A ship readiness generation model supports this process by integrating maintenance and training into a coherent plan of mutually supportive events that provides ships sufficient time to properly maintain, operate, and employ ship systems safely and confidently. The goal of the process is that Sailors deploy with their ship at the peak of readiness, that they are properly prepared to overcome the challenges presented on deployment, and that they have been given the training to sustain a high level of readiness throughout deployment.

Purpose. The Surface Force Readiness Manual (SFRM) provides a welldefined, prescriptive Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) for surface ships to achieve Fleet Response Plan (FRP) readiness. Proper maintenance execution, coupled with foundational training that reinforces standards compliance, allows ships to enter the Basic Phase unencumbered by material deficiencies. The building block approach to training methodically builds proficiency at the Individual, Unit, and Group levels to support assigned mission objectives. 101. Surface Ship Readiness Strategy 1. Summary. The surface ship readiness strategy defines the education, training, and assessments required to produce readiness throughout the FRTP. Traditionally, Basic Phase has been the logical starting point to discuss ship readiness generation (as defined in reference (a)). However, the SFRM model shifts the readiness generation starting point to the Sustainment Phase in support of the deliberate planning required to integrate maintenance and training for effective readiness. Having completed all requirements for deployment certification and at the height of deployment readiness, a ship in the latter stages of the pre-deployment Sustainment Phase will prepare for the next FRTP by completing material readiness assessments to form the basis of the Availability Work Package (AWP) for their upcoming CNO Availability (see Figure 1-1). Additionally, several coordinated assessments, entitled Readiness Evaluations (READ-Es), will be conducted throughout the FRTP to assess ship's materiel and training readiness to provide periodic feedback to Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC)/Type Commander (TYCOM) and ensure the ship is ready to meet mission requirements.

Maintenance Phase Planning 1-1 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 2. Focus on Deployed Readiness. This strategy features baseline training across all mission areas with focused attention and additional specific training for mission areas expected during the scheduled deployment. 3. Sequenced Readiness. Training a ship‟s crew to execute a maintenance availability, perform routine operations in and around homeport, and conduct sustained combat operations requires a sequenced and coordinated maintenance and training effort. This strategy is ship-focused and synchronizes training among multiple readiness stakeholders (e.g., TYCOM (including Port Engineers), SEA 21, Regional Maintenance Centers (RMCs), Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), Afloat Training Group Pacific/Atlantic (ATGP/L), Expeditionary Warfare Training Group Pacific/Atlantic (EWTGP/L), Commander, Strike Force Training Pacific/Atlantic (CSFTP/L), Tactical Training Group Pacific/Atlantic (TTGP/L), etc.). The transition from Basic to Integrated/Advanced Phase will reinforce Individual, Unit, and Group level training to support mission accomplishment. 4. Readiness Progression. Surface ships will progress through eight steps to achieve peak readiness as illustrated in Figure 1-2. Sustain Group Tactical Unit Tactical Mobility Maintenance Preparations AWP Development SelfAssessment and Validation Material assessment and correction of critical materiel issues Self-assessment and external organization validation Standard: Identify CNO availability requirements Standard: Shortfalls identified Warfare Training Core skill training Maintenance Training prior to, during, and postdeployment Prioritized, integrated multiplatform, multiple warfare area training Preparations and individual training Preparations and training to commence maintenance Standard: Readiness to commence CNO Availability Standard: Material readiness Standard: “Operate, Navigate, Communicate” Standard: Maneuver and tactically employ weapons and sensors Standard: Integrate into ARG/CSG; Ready for Deployment Standard: Sustain MSO-MCO proficiency Figure 1-2. Readiness Progression Readiness is based upon a foundation of solid materiel condition that supports effective training; each step builds upon the previous step to generate readiness for each mission area. The purpose and standard of each step is as follows: 1-2 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 a. Availability Work Package (AWP) Development. Material assessment and correction of critical materiel issues. Standard: Identification and documentation of all CNO Availability requirements. b. Self-assessment and Validation. Self-assessment and external organization validation. Standard: Shortfalls identified. c. Maintenance Preparations. Preparations and training to commence maintenance. Standard: Readiness to commence CNO Availability. d. Maintenance. Material readiness, preparations, and individual crewmember pipeline and critical schools training during the Maintenance Phase. Standard: Material Readiness. e. Mobility (Tier 1). Core skills training in Engineering, Navigation, Seamanship, Damage Control, Maintenance and Material Management (3M), Supply, Anti-terrorism (AT), Aviation, Search and Rescue, Communications, Explosive Safety, and Medical. Standard: Operate, Navigate, Communicate. f. Unit Tactical (Tier 2). Unit warfare training in Air Warfare (AW), Amphibious Warfare (AMW), Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), Surface Warfare (SUW), Undersea Warfare (USW), Strike Warfare (STW), Electronic Warfare (EW), Mine Warfare (MIW), Information Operations (IO), Intelligence (INT), and Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) as applicable. Standard: Maneuver and tactically employ ownship weapons and sensors as a stand-alone unit in single and multi-warfare scenarios. g. Group Tactical (Tier 3). Group integrated, multi-platform, multiwarfare area tactical training. Standard: Integrate into an Amphibious Ready Group/Carrier Strike Group or other higher level organization; act as a Search and Attack Unit Commander (SAUC), Surface Action Group Commander (SAGC), Warfare Area Commander; attain required skills for deployment/major combat operations. h. Sustainment. Unit level training and operations conducted to sustain proficiency in each warfare area. Standard: Sustain proficiency in Mobility and Tactical mission areas. 5. Phased Approach to Education, Training, Assessment, and Certification. The surface ship readiness strategy follows a process that educates, trains, assesses, and certifies a ship‟s crew to conduct either integrated or independent operations. The phased approach to readiness supports standardization of training and ensures ships are prepared to accomplish their assigned mission by building proficiency through repetition of fundamentals, exercised in a variety of training scenarios that build in complexity. Once watch teams demonstrate sufficient proficiency, they will proceed to the phase qualification event. The ship must meet the requirements of each phase in order to proceed to the next phase. a. Educate. This strategy relies on educating Sailors on standards (clearly demonstrating “what right looks like” and how to make it right). Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) will assist ATG in curriculum development and providing training to ensure theory taught in the classroom transitions to deckplate proficiency. 1-3 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 b. Train. The training process is based upon Navy Mission Essential Tasks (NMETs) and trains individuals and watch teams to perform Navy Tactical Tasks (NTAs) in required conditions, to a measurable standard. Training starts with theory and fundamentals followed by practical, hands-on scenarios with over-the-shoulder training. c. Assess. The ship must pass a comprehensive assessment in each mission area to validate material readiness and watchstander proficiency standards. d. Certify. The TYCOM will certify ships in assigned mission areas upon completion of required pre-deployment training and successful completion of various end of Tier assessments conducted by TYCOM and/or designated supporting commands. U.S. Fleet Forces Deputy Commander for Fleet and Joint Operations (USFF FJO), Commander, U.S. THIRD Fleet (C3F), or Commander, U.S. SEVENTH Fleet (C7F) will certify ships for deployment in accordance with reference (b) based in part upon TYCOM assessment of PESTO pillars. 6. Predictable Path. One of the primary goals of the readiness strategy is for each ship to have a standard, predictable path throughout all FRTP phases. Necessarily, a predictable path will also mean less scheduling flexibility for ships and training/certification organizations. TYCOMs and USFF FJO/C3F/C7F will, to the maximum extent possible, ensure training entitlements as outlined in reference (b) are available for all units during the Basic and Integrated/Advanced Phases of the FRTP. The intent of the Basic Phase entitlement is to provide units with an unencumbered block of time; however, the Basic Phase may be compressed, extended or interrupted if conditions warrant, and is further addressed in Chapter 4 of this instruction. 7. Exit Criteria. Each ship must achieve prescribed standards in material readiness and demonstrated proficiency prior to advancing through the FRP. It is critical for each ship and applicable chain of command to recognize early and report any risk of not completing milestones in time to meet operational commitments. By frontloading risk assessment, supporting organizations have a better chance to assist the ship in meeting prescribed standards. Chapter 4 provides exit criteria for each phase. TYCOM will determine if the ship has achieved the required exit criteria to advance to the next phase using all available resources to determine the ship‟s readiness. Ships must meet exit criteria across all PESTO pillars in order to transition to the next phase. 8. Waivers. In circumstances when exit criteria have not been met, the ship will initiate a waiver via naval message through the administrative chain of command and submit to TYCOM for approval. The waiver shall include a description of the circumstances leading up to the ship‟s inability to meet specific exit criterion, current efforts to correct the deficiency, and anticipated date that the criterion will be satisfied. An example of a waiver request, waiver request endorsement, and waiver request approval is provided in enclosures (1), (2), and (3) respectively. TYCOM shall confer with USFF FJO/C3F/C7F prior to approving any Basic Phase exit criteria request. 1-4 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 102. Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) 1. The FRTP is aligned with the FRP and consists of five phases: Sustainment, Maintenance, Shakedown, Basic, and Integrated or Advanced. While reference (a) identifies the Basic Phase as the start of the FRP cycle, a more appropriate starting point to better integrate maintenance and training and for the purposes of this manual, is the beginning of the Sustainment Phase. During the start of the cycle, a prioritized, comprehensive AWP is developed to satisfactorily execute the upcoming Maintenance Phase. The work package must be closely managed and coordinated throughout the Sustainment and Maintenance Phases to successfully complete the availability on time. In addition to the maintenance actions, training is an important part of the Maintenance Phase as ships will be educated on the standards and how to achieve the required material condition to support follow-on training. Platform-specific, unit-level training and certification is performed throughout all phases of the FRP. Integrated Phase training combines the multitude of naval warfare capabilities of the various units into a single cohesive Strike Group, Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), or mission-oriented deployable unit/staff. Advanced Phase training includes advanced core and mission specific training for non-strike group or ARG units. The Sustainment Phase, and specifically the ship‟s deployment, is the culmination of the FRTP cycle and focuses on maintaining the group or unit‟s proficiency to support operational requirements. Transition to the next phase is driven by proficiency and material readiness, not the calendar. 2. FRTP Phases. The FRTP Phases described below detail the path to deployed readiness. To ensure readiness for scheduled deployments, external assessments and inspections will validate proficiency and satisfactory material condition as the ship progresses through the FRTP. a. Sustainment Phase. The Sustainment Phase begins after USFF FJO/C3F/C7F certifies individual units at the designated deployment certification level and ends when the ship meets the exit criteria detailed in Chapter 4. During the Sustainment Phase, a ship will maintain and improve PESTO pillar readiness. Ship and external organization material assessments conducted during this phase are the basis for an AWP that supports successful completion of the Maintenance Phase. b. Maintenance Phase. The Maintenance Phase begins at the start of a CNO Availability and ends after the ship successfully meets the exit criteria detailed in Chapter 4. During the Maintenance Phase, the ship will improve PESTO pillar readiness to be able to perform in the Basic Phase. Specifically, the ship will strive to complete all required schoolhouse training identified in Fleet Training Management and Planning System (FLTMPS), ensure installed systems are fully operational, and verify training and qualification programs are fully established. c. Shakedown Phase. Although not an official FRTP phase in accordance with reference (a), the Shakedown Phase begins upon successful completion of Contractor Sea Trials and ends after the ship successfully meets the exit criteria detailed in Chapter 4. During the Shakedown Phase, the ship will validate its readiness to begin Basic Phase training. 1-5 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 d. Basic Phase. The Basic Phase begins after the ship successfully exits the Shakedown Phase and ends when the ship meets exit criteria detailed in Chapter 4. During the Basic Phase, a ship will conduct unit level training and improve PESTO pillar readiness to be able to perform in the Integrated/Advanced Phase. e. Integrated Phase. The Integrated Phase starts at the completion of Basic Phase and ends when the ship meets exit criteria detailed in Chapter 4, typically upon completion of the Group Tactical training syllabus and designation of the strike group as Major Combat Operations – Surge (MCOSurge) or Major Combat Operations – Ready (MCO-Ready). During the Integrated Phase, a ship will conduct multi-unit, multi-platform training and improve PESTO pillar readiness to be able to perform in a Strike Group or ARG. USFF FJO/C3F/C7F will certify strike groups, ARGs, or mission-oriented deployable units/staffs for deployment per reference (b). f. Advanced Phase. The Advanced Phase starts at the completion of Basic Phase and ends when the ship meets exit criteria detailed in Chapter 4, typically upon completion of a certification exercise and designation as MCOReady, or at which level the certification authority designates. During the advanced phase, a ship may conduct unit required training with an ARG or CSG during the group's integrated phase as directed by USFF FJO/C3F/C7F. USFF FJO/C3F/C7F will certify ships for deployment in accordance with reference (b). 103. Qualifications and Certifications 1. Qualification. A qualification is an event conducted to support a mission area certification. Qualifications can be awarded by schools or ATG. For example, Cruise Missile Tactical Qualification (CMTQ) is a specific qualification event, conducted by ATG, that supports the larger Strike Mission Area Certification. Passing the qualification event is a prerequisite for mission area certification. 2. Dependency. An event conducted by an external organization whose periodicity must be current for mission area certification. For example, Aviation Facilities Certification (AVCERT) is a dependency for Aviation Mission Area Certification. 3. Mission Area Certification. A mission area certification is awarded by the TYCOM after a ship has completed the Basic Phase training requirements in that particular mission area. 4. Basic Phase Completion. The TYCOM will certify a ship has completed the Basic Phase when all mission area certifications have been achieved. 5. Deployment Certification. Deployment Certification is granted by USFF FJO/C3F/C7F when a ship successfully completes the Integrated/Advanced Phase of training. 104. Sustainment of Certifications 1. Ships will be certified across all mission areas as part of the phased approach and will retain all certifications throughout deployment and the post-deployment Sustainment Phase. 1-6 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 2. Upon entering the Maintenance Phase, deployment certification and all mission area certifications expire with the exception of those that will be executed during the Maintenance Phase. (Note: TYCOM may direct that some certifications that would normally expire remain in effect.) Mission area certification sustainment requirements will be tailored to match the conditions that the ship will be in during the CNO Availability. The following is a list of mission areas that must maintain proficiency throughout the Maintenance and Shakedown Phases: a. AT (Standard: requirements) Comply with Maintenance Phase force protection b. Mobility – Damage Control (MOB-D) (Standard: in a shipyard environment) c. 3M (Standard: Conduct damage control Maintain equipment in a shipyard environment) d. Fleet Support Operations – Medical (FSO-M) (Standard: medical readiness in a shipyard environment) e. Supply (Standard: requirements) Maintain Provide logistics support for Maintenance Phase f. Explosive Safety (EXPSAF) (Standard: Safely store and properly account for ammunition needed for the AT mission in a shipyard environment) 105. Variations to the FRTP 1. Circumstances may arise that require a deviation from the notional FRTP cycle outlined in reference (b). While the ship is responsible for the overall schedule, FRTP variations provide flexibility to the administrative and operational chains of command that ensure the ship is fully qualified to execute assigned missions. Additional details on FRTP variations are provided in Chapter 4, Section 406. 106. Tracking and Reporting 1. While all certifications remain valid until the ship enters the Maintenance Phase, circumstances may develop whereby the ability of the ship to perform a mission has either been severely compromised or eliminated altogether. These circumstances can arise from the loss of critical personnel (P), equipment casualties (E), logistics shortfalls (S), loss of proficiency (T), or lack of required ordnance (O). 2. Ships will report their readiness in DRRS-N for each PESTO pillar (Personnel, Equipment, Supply, Training, Ordnance) in accordance with reference (c). Report mission area degradations in accordance with DRRS-N (reference c) and Redlines (reference d) requirements. a. Personnel. Personnel shortfalls, including critical NEC and school deficiencies are reported in FLTMPS. FLTMPS updates DRRS-N bi-weekly. b. Equipment. Equipment and material discrepancies are documented in the Current Ship‟s Maintenance Project (CSMP), tracked in authoritative Fleet material readiness databases, and reported to DRRS-N. 1-7 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 c. Supply. Unit supply status, requests, and shortfalls are reported in the Continuous Monitoring Program (CMP). CMP updates DRRS-N daily underway and monthly when inport. d. Training. Training status is reported through the Training and Operational Readiness Information Services (TORIS). Each training tier will have standardized events and grading criteria. TORIS is designed to streamline reporting and minimize the time required to update the ship‟s status. However, while tracking and reporting is simplified, training is evaluated to the same rigorous standards as defined in governing instructions such as Navy Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (NTTP); Naval Ships‟ Technical Manuals (NSTM); Navy Warfare Training Plans (NWTPs); Navy Mission Essential Task List (NMETL); Maintenance Requirement Cards (MRC); or other technical standards. e. Ordnance. Ordnance status is reported through the Ordnance Information System program. Ordnance criteria, type, and quantity are established for each tier of training. 3. Accurate tracking and reporting of proficiency and mission readiness is essential to support decision making by the Commanding Officer and administrative and operational commanders. 1-8 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 SHIP EXIT CRITERIA WAIVER REQUEST FM USS SHIP TO ADCON ISIC INFO USFF/CPF USFF FJO/C3F/C7F/CNSP/CNSL (as appropriate) STRIKE GROUP COMMANDER (as appropriate) COMAFLOATRAGRUPAC/LANT (as appropriate) COMNAVCYBERFOR CNRMC APPLICABLE REGIONAL MAINTENANCE CENTER BT UNCLAS MSGID/GENADMIN/SHIP/MMM// SUBJ/USS SHIP "PHASE" EXIT CRITERIA WAIVER REQUEST// REF/A/DOC/CNSP-CNSLINST 3502.3/DDMMMYY// AMPN/SURFACE FORCE READINESS MANUAL (SFRM)// POC/OPS/LCDR/SHIP/-/EMAIL:OPS@SHIP.NAVY.(SMIL.)MIL/TEL:XXX-XXX-XXXX// RMKS/1.

Underway Steaming Requirements 1. In order to effectively train and maintain proficiency, surface ships must be allocated underway steaming days during all phases when not deployed. These underway steaming days are required in order to perform a variety of functions and missions (e.g., achieve qualification, demonstrate proficiency, etc.). The minimum amount of underway training steaming days for each phase is provided in reference (a). 201. Shipboard Training and PQS Program Policy 1. General. Effective command training and Personnel Qualification Standard (PQS) programs are critical to the ship‟s ability to perform its assigned missions. Commanding Officers will develop and implement command-wide training and PQS programs that meet the requirements set forth in references (b), (c), and Chapter 8 of reference (d). Afloat Self-Assessment (ASA) checksheets are available to assess training and PQS compliance for both of these programs (https://atg.surfor.navy.mil/toolbox/private/). Additional details on the ASA checksheets are provided in reference (e). 2. Relationship between Training and PQS Programs. Training and PQS, while two distinct programs, are fundamentally linked since PQS is the basis of a command training program in accordance with reference (d) and both programs enable effective Watch Team Replacement Plan (WTRP) management. a. The entry point of the shipboard training and qualification process is the WTRP. It should identify watchstations that will need to be filled due to either rotation or upward progression, and identify the Sailor intended to fill that watchstation in accordance with reference (d). These fills can come either from Prospective Gains (PG) or from existing crewmembers. In the case of a PG slated to fill a WTRP gap, an analysis of required schools and/or NECs for the watchstation should take place and the ship, working early in the process with Navy Personnel Command (NPC) should initiate those required adjustments to the training track of the PG. Navy Personnel Command (NPC), for their part, must provide the receiving unit with viable alternatives to ensure units are gaining members with required training and/or NECs. Once the PG reports, or in the case of an existing crewmember, the WTRP coordinator should create a PQS assignment for that Sailor, with a qualification goal date early enough to meet the need identified in the WTRP. That PQS assignment should then trigger the scheduling of the supporting training lectures (reference (b) requires that 2-1 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 divisions develop a lecture for every 100 and 200 series PQS line item for their in-rate PQS). Training Teams must also ensure those individuals working on a PQS assignment are offered opportunities to perform the 300 series tasks during Training Team evolutions. These steps will ensure that all Sailors receive the necessary training in support of their qualification goals. See Figure 2-1.

Integration of PQS and Training 3. PQS Requirements. All watchstations that are listed on the Watch, Quarter and Station Bill or any other watch bill require the use of PQS for qualification. If there is no PQS for the watchstation, the ship will develop a Job Qualification Requirement (JQR). a. Tailoring. Ships shall tailor PQS books to meet their unique requirements. Tailoring includes deletion, addition, or modification of PQS line items to accurately reflect each ship‟s equipment, systems, and system configurations. Prerequisites may also be tailored to match local conditions. Tailoring includes determining the proper Final Qualification Authority and whether a performance test, written exam, and/or oral exam is required for qualification. Commanding Officers will sign a letter for each PQS standard that reflects the tailoring of that standard. These tailoring letters must be issued to crew members with the PQS to ensure consistency in the qualifications. b. PQS Qualifiers. PQS Qualifiers are acknowledged experts in a specified area of qualification. Qualifiers are entrusted with protecting the integrity of the PQS system by guiding trainees to references, and not giving away answers or signatures. Qualifiers will normally be E-5 or above and fully qualified on the watchstation they are authorized to sign. However, Commanding Officers should use a conservative approach in designating qualifiers. Interim qualified personnel shall not be designated as PQS Qualifiers. Additional guidance regarding PQS qualifiers is provided in reference (c). c. Requalification. Each individual shall go through a requalification process when they transfer to a new command; when revised PQS is received and changes to the standard, in the Commanding Officer‟s judgment, warrant 2-2 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 requalification; or upon Commanding Officer‟s discretion. In each of these cases, a decision is required to determine if the individual should complete the entire PQS, complete a tailored qualification program, or accept the previous qualification. (1) PQS generally presumes a person beginning qualification has very little understanding of the applicable watchstation requirements. The standard, therefore, includes signature requirements for basic principles that a more experienced service member may have already learned. A tailored accelerated qualification program may be appropriate for these more experienced individuals. (2) It is the responsibility of the Final Qualification Authority (FQA) in conjunction with the Department Head, Division Officer, Leading Chief Petty Officer, and Leading Petty Officer to determine the entry level of each person. This determination is used to decide what line items are required for requalification. (3) Using this procedure will reduce the requalification process to the minimum required for each individual. For example, an experienced Sailor may be able to complete in one week the requalification requirements that a less experienced person may take several months to finish. 4. PQS Management a. Relational Administrative Data Management (R-ADM). R-ADM, if installed, shall be used to manage PQS and Training Programs. R-ADM is designated as the authoritative database for afloat activities with the Naval Tactical Command Support System (NTCSS) suite to capture individual level unit training, including PQS, qualifications, and certifications. As such, PQS program elements such as PQS POAM development, tracking of progress, interim qualifications, and the recording of final qualification will all use R-ADM. In addition, all watchbills will be created, managed, and maintained in R-ADM or another program that pulls data directly from the R-ADM database. For the shipboard training program, R-ADM will be used to track the appropriate training exercises required by reference (d). b. 202. 1. Ships that do not have R-ADM may choose their method of tracking PQS. Training Teams Training Team Policy a. An effective training program is based on a logical continuum of training that provides watch teams the opportunity to mature as a cohesive entity. The goal is for the ship‟s training teams to attain self-sufficiency and maintain watch team proficiency by conducting challenging training using realistic and progressive scenarios designed to meet specific training objectives. To be effective, training must be scheduled and conducted throughout the entire operating cycle. b. Training teams should include a core group of the most knowledgeable and experienced personnel who bring enthusiasm to the training process. No particular team size is directed. The size of the crew, number of qualified personnel, complexity of the exercise, and safety requirements will influence the size of the team. In addition, some training objectives for a particular event may not require the stationing of a full training team. 2-3 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 c. When feasible, ships may use a 2-section training team program in which a training team will be formed from one watch section to train the other and vice versa. In the case of the Damage Control Training Team (DCTT), the ship may use selected members of one repair locker to train and assess other repair lockers. Assigning training teams in this manner eliminates the requirement to have dedicated training team members, eliminates confusion on assignments during actual battle or damage control events, and enhances watchstander skills by increasing training opportunities. However, this model may not work for all cases. For example, there will be certain drills that require a dedicated training team other than the watch teams (i.e., Condition I drills, such as MSFD, MOB-D Major Conflag, etc.). 2. Required Training Teams. established: The following training teams will be a. Anti-Terrorism Training Team (ATTT) b. Combat Systems Training Team (CSTT) c. Engineering Training Team (ETT) d. Damage Control Training Team (DCTT) e. Seamanship Training Team (STT) f. Aviation Training Team (ATT) (LHA/LHD/LPD only) g. Medical Training Team (MTT) h. Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure Training Team (VBSSTT) (if applicable) i. Integrated Training Team (ITT) 3. Training Team Designation. Training team members must be designated in writing by the Commanding Officer. Designation may be accomplished by separate instruction, letter, or watchbill signed by the Commanding Officer (CO). The minimum qualification requirement is that the training team member must be qualified on the watchstation being observed. 4. Transition from ATG to Training Teams. The focus of the training strategy is to have external trainers (ATG, School House, etc.) train the watchstanders and then hand over the responsibility of maintaining proficiency to the ship‟s training teams. For the majority of the mission areas, ATG will develop the training scenarios, execute the scenario for the watchstanders, and assess the event. However, drill hot check verification and any required equipment operation will be conducted by qualified ship‟s force personnel. a. Prior to entering the Basic Phase, the ship shall be able to man all required training teams. b. All training team members will receive the same Theory and Fundamental, Individual, and Watch Team training that all watchstanders receive. Training Team proficiency is expected to improve during this progressive training and training teams will be certified prior to exiting 2-4 the Basic Phase. granted by TYCOM. 203. COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 Training Team certification will be recommended by ATG and Management and Safety Afloat Programs 1. Ships must maintain a variety of management programs to ensure the ship is able to meet mission requirements. Management and Safety Afloat Programs include, but are not limited to, Tag Out, Electrical Safety, 3M, and Hearing Conservation. The standard for these programs is outlined in each mission area‟s ASA checksheets and must be routinely assessed by ship‟s force throughout the FRP. 2. Management and Safety Afloat Programs will be assessed by external organizations throughout the FRTP. Specific grading criteria for management programs are provided in reference (f). 204. Ship Instructions, Notices, and Bills 1. There are numerous instructions, notices, and bills required to establish proper procedures. Many of these documents can be incorporated into the ship‟s SORM and signed under a single cover letter by the Commanding Officer or his designated representative with “By Direction” authority. The following documents must be signed by the current Commanding Officer within 90 days of assuming command: a. Battle Orders b. Standing Orders c. Navigation Bill d. Cruise Missile Doctrine (if applicable) e. Force Protection In-Port Security Plan (ISP) f. Temporary Standing Orders g. Deranged Equipment Bill 205. Synthetic Training. Synthetic training systems and devices, both platform-based and shore-based, are critical to the readiness strategy. Simulation-based training provides individual watch standers and watch teams the opportunity to conduct training in a synthetic environment when safety, range access, realistic opposition forces (OPFOR), environmental considerations, and resource constraints make live exercises impractical. Furthermore, reference (g) states that "training simulators should be used to replace live training to the maximum extent possible where training effectiveness and operational readiness are not compromised." By optimizing the use of synthetic trainers, crews are better prepared, achieve exercise objectives faster, and perform at higher levels. Therefore, the ability to maintain, configure, and employ a ship's synthetic training capability is integral to ship readiness and will be assessed throughout the FRTP. 2-5 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 206. Maintenance and Material Management (3M) Program. The 3M Program is designed to identify and correct material deficiencies by ship‟s force through periodic and situational equipment assessments. While not all equipment can be fully assessed through the ship‟s 3M Program, a wellexecuted program will reduce the amount of growth and new work and maintain a higher level of readiness throughout the entire cycle. 2-6 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 Chapter 3 READINESS EVALUATIONS, ASSESSMENTS, CERTIFICATIONS, AND INSPECTIONS Ref: (a) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3500.10, Readiness Evaluations (b) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 4700.1 Total Ships Readiness Assessment (TSRA) (c) COMFLTFORCOMINST 3501.3C, Fleet Training Continuum (d) COMUSFLTFORCOMINST 4790.3B, Change 4, Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual (e) OPNAVINST 4730.5Q, Trials and Material Inspections (MI) of Ships Conducted by the Board of Inspection and Survey (f) COMNAVSURFPAC 4730.2, TYCOM Material Inspection (TMI) Process (g) COMNAVSURFLANTINST 4730.2, Material Standards Assessment Program 300. Purpose. Periodic assessments validate ship readiness to execute mission requirements. Due to the unique capabilities of each ship class, numerous organizations provide assessments, evaluations, certifications, and inspections. These organizations will use established, common standards for material readiness and training in order to eliminate duplicity of checks and assessments. Additionally, these organizations will schedule and conduct periodic assessments where they fit best to improve ship readiness throughout the FRP and deliver ships to USFF FJO/C3F/C7F at their peak level of readiness. The notional schedule for the 27 month FRP is provided in Figure 3-1. Note: The order of events is more important than the month in which the events are conducted. 50% AWP lock 80% AWP lock 100% AWP lock READ-E 1 12 13 14 Sustainment Phase 15 16 READ-E 2 READ-E 3 17 18 19 20 Deployment TYCOM / INSURV Material Inspection READ-E 5 21 22 Sust Phase READ-E 4 23 24 25 Maintenance Phase 26 27 Shakedown Phase READ-E 6 1 2 3 4 Basic Phase TSRA 1 TSRA 2 LOA TSRA 3 5 6 Basic Phase 8 9 10 MI Prep Time Tier 1 and Tier 2 Material Checks CMAV TYCOM Sea Trials MI SOE IH Rehearsal Survey Tier 2 Mat’l Validation MI 4 weeks CMAV TSRA 4 3-5 weeks Figure 3-1. 301. 3-4 weeks 27 Month FRP Notional Schedule Overarching Guidance 1.

External activities that desire to add, alter, or delete events contained in Appendix A must coordinate with respective authority (COMNAVSURFPAC and COMNAVSURFLANT for Sustainment, Maintenance, Shakedown, and Basic Phases; CSFTP and CSFTL for Integrated/Advanced Phase). The Chiefs of Staff are the approval authority for any changes to Appendix A. 3. Changes to Qualification, Certification, or Exercise Standards. Changes to Basic Phase qualification, certification, and exercise standards are subject to TYCOM N7 Configuration Control Board approval before implementation. 302. Readiness Evaluations. Throughout the FRP, multiple, complementary assessments will be consolidated into distinct evaluation periods entitled Readiness Evaluations (READ-Es) as outlined in reference (a). READ-Es will assess, validate, or certify ship readiness. Because each evaluation may have several components, one organization shall be designated as the lead organization for each READ-E and is responsible for coordination with the ship and other assessment teams. The duration of the READ-E varies based upon scope, ship class, and other scheduling considerations. 303. Assessments 1. Assessments that are not part of the Readiness Evaluations discussed in Section 302 are scheduled as independent events throughout the FRP. Where possible, these assessments have been aligned to the notional cycle, rather than a standardized periodicity (e.g., “conducted during pre-deployment Sustainment Phase” vice “conducted every 2 years”) in order to provide ships a predictable and logical readiness assessment periodicity. In addition, these independent assessments have been scheduled with the following additional goals: a. Reinforce common standards b. Consolidate assessments when logical c. Maximize use of subject matter experts d. Eliminate redundancy A complete list of assessments is provided in Appendix A. 2. Total Ship Readiness Assessments (TSRA) are material assessment packages coordinated by the Regional Maintenance Centers (RMC) designed to improve maintenance availability planning and Current Ship‟s Maintenance Project (CSMP) management, repair equipment, support system light off, and provide over-the-shoulder training to ship‟s force maintenance personnel. The assessments are conducted by the RMC and serve to increase ship‟s force awareness of material standards and educate maintenance personnel on troubleshooting and repair processes. Details of the TSRA process are provided in reference (b). 304. FRP Certifications 1. Per reference (c), there are two fundamental milestones required by ships to progress through the FRP. Basic Phase Completion and Deployment Certification are granted to ships following successful completion of 3-2 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 specific unit level and group (multi-ship) requirements. 2. Basic Phase (Unit Level) Completion. Basic Phase Completion is a TYCOM report that identifies the ship as an Independent Unit Ready for Tasking (IURFT). Basic Phase Completion is based upon successful completion of all mission area certifications. a. Mission Area Certifications. Mission area certifications are granted by TYCOM, relying upon assessments conducted by ATG Pacific/Atlantic (ATGP/ATGL), Engineering Assessment Pacific/Atlantic (EAP/A), or other assessment organizations. b. A complete list of mission area certifications is included in Appendix A. 3. Deployment Certification. Deployment Certification is granted by the USFF FJO/C3F/C7F (as applicable) as outlined in reference (c). 305. Inspections 1. Material Inspections. Part of the strategy to maintain equipment at a higher level of readiness and reinforce standards compliance includes more frequent material inspections. By conducting a material validation every FRP cycle, ships will better understand their equipment status and capabilities and reduce the premium costs associated with late-identified work. Furthermore, USFF FJO/C3F/C7F will have confidence in the material condition of surface ships as they transition into the Integrated/Advanced Phase and then onto Sustainment Phase and deployment. a. INSURV Trials and Material Inspections. The Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) will conduct Acceptance Trials (AT), Final Contract Trials (FCT), Material Inspections (MI), and Decommissioning Surveys in accordance with references (d) and (e). b. TYCOM Material Inspections. In FRP cycles that do not include one of the INSURV inspections in the paragraph above, TYCOM will conduct an MI in accordance with applicable TYCOM instruction (reference (f) or (g)). These inspections will be notionally scheduled six to eight weeks following Basic Phase completion. 3-3 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 Chapter 4 FLEET RESPONSE TRAINING PLAN PHASE REQUIREMENTS Ref: (a) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3500.11, Surface Force Exercise Manual (b) COMUSFLTFORCOMINST 4790.3B, Change 4, Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual (c) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 4700.1, Total Ships Readiness Assessment (TSRA) (d) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3500.10, Readiness Evaluations (e) OPNAVINST 5100.19E, Navy Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) Program Manual for Forces Afloat (f) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 1300.1, Command Readiness Assist Visit (g) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVAIRPAC/COMNAVAIRLANT/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3530.4C, Surface Ship Navigation Department Organization and Regulations Manual (NAVDORM) (h) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3504.1A, Redlines Implementing Instructions (i) COMFLTFORCOMINST 3501.3C, Fleet Training Continuum (j) OPNAVINST 4730.5Q, Trials and Material Inspections (MI) of Ships Conducted by the Board of Inspection and Survey (k) COMNAVSURFPAC 4730.2, TYCOM Material Inspection (TMI) Process (l) COMNAVSURFLANTINST 4730.2, Material Standards Assessment Program 400. Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP). The Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) is a flexible and scalable approach to training that meets the dynamic requirements of the Fleet Response Plan (FRP). The FRTP consists of five phases: Sustainment, Maintenance, Shakedown, Basic, and Integrated/Advanced. The notional schedules for the 27 month FRP is provided in Figure 4-1. Note: The order of events is more important than the month in which the events are conducted. 50% AWP lock 80% AWP lock 100% AWP lock READ-E 1 12 13 14 Sustainment Phase 15 16 READ-E 2 READ-E 3 17 18 19 20 Deployment TYCOM / INSURV Material Inspection READ-E 5 21 22 Sust Phase READ-E 4 23 24 25 26 27 Shakedown Phase Maintenance Phase READ-E 6 1 2 3 4 Basic Phase TSRA 1 TSRA 2 LOA TSRA 3 5 6 8 Int / Adv (Tier 2) Phase 9 10 11 Int / Adv Phase TSRA 4 Nav Crew Cert/ Assess/ Fast KTR Sea Trials Cruise MI Prep Time Tier 1 and Tier 2 Material Checks 3 weeks 7 Basic Phase (Tier 1) TSRA 5 READ-E 7 CMAV TYCOM Sea Trials MI SOE IH Rehearsal Survey Tier 2 Mat’l Validation MI 4 weeks CMAV TSRA 4 3-5 weeks Figure 4-1. 3-4 weeks 27 Month FRP Notional Schedule 1. The transition from one phase to the next is driven by material readiness and demonstrated proficiency. Each phase consists of training, evaluations, and assessments that support the ship‟s ability to achieve exit criteria in each phase. 4-1 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 2. To achieve the required synergy necessary to produce surface ship readiness, each phase must be supportive of the subsequent phase, rather than viewed as a separate period. A sequenced and coordinated effort from all organizations tasked with assessing and repairing ships and training Sailors is critical to establish the training continuum. The goal is to build mission area proficiency across the FRTP through progressively complex Individual, Unit, and Group level training events based on standardized and repeatable measures of performance. The FRTP Phases outlined in the following sections describe the path to deployed readiness. 3. Training Continuum. In order to achieve the required Basic Phase and Deployment Certifications, each ship executing the notional FRP cycle will progress through the training continuum as illustrated in Figure 4-2.

Identified material deficiencies will be adjudicated by TYCOM prior to proceeding. b. Once all material deficiencies have been adjudicated and appropriate action taken, the ship will progress through the training continuum in the sequenced steps. c. Ships that do not satisfactorily demonstrate mission area proficiency during the applicable Certification/Qualification (X.4) event will repeat the event following remedial instruction. d. Ships are required to perform a variety of exercises throughout the FRTP in order to achieve certification and maintain proficiency. The three types of exercises are described below. A detailed description and list of exercises are provided in reference (a). (1) Certification Exercises (CE). CEs are conducted in the Basic Phase and are a prerequisite to mission area certification. ATG will assess the ship‟s ability to successfully demonstrate these exercises. (2) Advanced Exercises (AE). AEs are conducted following Basic Phase completion. AEs are primarily accomplished during Group Sail; however, USFF FJO/C3F/C7F (as applicable) may authorize conduct of these exercises any time during the Integrated Phase. Exercises will be assessed by CSG/ARG staffs or local training agencies (if resources are available). Not all ships will perform all AEs; USFF FJO/C3F/C7F will select applicable AEs for each ship to accomplish during the Integrated/Advanced Phase. (3) Repetitive Exercises (RE). REs are conducted by ships following Mission Area Certification in order to maintain proficiency in each mission area. The ship will self-assess their ability to successfully demonstrate these exercises. 401. Sustainment Phase 1. Focus. During the Sustainment Phase, ships will focus on maintaining readiness across the full spectrum of mission areas in order to be ready to conduct prompt and sustained combat operations. Additionally, due to the long lead time required for Availability Work Package (AWP) development, this is the time to conduct both internal (ship‟s force) and external material assessments that will form the basis of the next Maintenance Phase. 2. Expectations. While on deployment, ships will focus on deployed missions, while maintaining proficiency in all mission areas through repetitive exercises in accordance with reference (a). a. A TFOM of 80% in the Mobility Mission Areas shall be maintained at all times. b. Tactical Mission Areas will be sustained through training and conducting deployed missions. Ships shall make all reasonable efforts to maintain a TFOM of 80% in all tactical mission areas, however, when operational requirements limit proficiency opportunities, training on the mission areas required by the Operational Commander shall take precedence. Some mission areas will be allowed to degrade and ships will report readiness degradations of affected mission areas in accordance with governing directives without the need for a mitigation plan during deployment. 4-3 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 c. Ships will begin preparations for the upcoming CNO Availability through critical self-assessment, clearly documented deficiencies, training, and planning. Preparations for the Maintenance Phase must not interfere with the ship‟s ability to meet operational commitments. d. TYCOM shall coordinate focused training to ships outside the Basic Phase on an as-needed basis as determined by unit self-assessment or ISIC/ATG recommendation. 3. Notional Schedule. Sustainment Phase. Figure 4-3 depicts the notional schedule for the Note: The order of events is more important than the month in which the events are conducted. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Sustainment Phase 24 25 26 50% AWP lock 27 1 Shakedown Phase Maintenance Phase 80% AWP lock 12 13 14 TSRA 5 Figure 4-3. 15 16 4 5 6 Basic Phase (Tier 1) (Tier 2) 7 Int / Adv Phase 8 9 10 11 Int / Adv Phase READ-E 2 READ-E 3 17 18 Deployment TSRA 1 3 100% AWP lock READ-E 1 Sustainment Phase 2 Basic Phase 19 20 21 22 Sust Phase TSRA 2 Sustainment Phase Notional Schedule 4. Readiness Evaluations, Assessments, Certifications and Inspections. Throughout the Sustainment Phase, various evaluations and assessments will be conducted to reinforce standards compliance. Events that require significant coordination are outlined below; remaining events are listed in Appendix B. a. Total Ship Readiness Assessment (TSRA) 5. TSRA 5 is a two-week predeployment combat systems material condition verification conducted by the applicable Regional Maintenance Center (RMC). While it occurs before TSRA 1 in the Sustainment Phase (as illustrated in Figure 4-3 above), it is the final TSRA event that prepares the ship for deployment. Scheduling of this event should occur prior to the ship‟s pre-deployment leave and upkeep period to provide sufficient time to correct critical deficiencies. The purpose of TSRA 5 is to ensure combat systems equipment (including Ballistic Missile Defense equipment) is operable for deployment. Deficiencies identified during TSRA 5 will be prioritized and scheduled for repair based upon impact and repair timeline. b. Total Ship Readiness Assessment (TSRA) 1. TSRA 1 is a two-week shipwide material condition assessment conducted by RMC and performed during the pre-deployment Sustainment Phase to identify work items for an upcoming CNO Availability. Scheduling of this event should occur early enough in the Sustainment Phase to correct any critical deficiencies identified during the assessment prior to deployment and without impact to the ship‟s operational commitments. The purpose of TSRA 1 is to minimize growth and new work during 4-4 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 a CNO Availability by conducting a comprehensive material condition assessment in advance of AWP lock (see reference (b) for specific milestones). Specific material checks conducted during TSRA 1 will include Integrated Class Maintenance Plan (ICMP) tasks and specific items identified in reference (c). c. Readiness Evaluation 1. READ-E 1 is a 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. Duration of READ-E 1 is determined by the ship, but must be completed and findings reported to ISIC/TYCOM at least four weeks in advance of READ-E 2 and READ-E 3. The requirements for READ-E 1 are provided in reference (d). d. Readiness Evaluation 2. READ-E 2 is a 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 2 replicates the demonstrations and critical events that will be performed during the Maintenance Phase TYCOM Sea Trials. Demonstrations are conducted during this period to identify any material condition degradations that occurred during the course of deployment and ensure that the ship maintains a constant focus on material assessments and standards. Any deficiencies identified during READ-E 2 shall be added to the ship‟s CSMP and considered for possible inclusion into the CNO AWP, recognizing that work items may be growth or new work. Every effort should be made to complete all demonstrations for the applicable ship class. Ships shall coordinate with the appropriate Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC)/Type Commander (TYCOM) to develop the schedule of events (SOE) and reserve required services. A list of required demonstrations and critical events is contained in reference (d). (1) Total Ship Readiness Assessment (TSRA) 2. TSRA 2 is a ship-wide material condition assessment conducted by RMC in conjunction with READ-E 2. RMC‟s participation will ensure appropriate technical representation is available to document deficiencies, expedite maintenance planning, and correctly prioritize maintenance action. e. Readiness Evaluation 3. READ-E 3 is a 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 1 Validation; Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) and Environmental Programs Review; and the Command Readiness Assist Visit (CRAV). (1) READ-E 1 Validation. During this period, the TYCOM will validate the ship‟s self-assessment conducted during READ-E 1. In addition to an assessment of manning (including NECs), material condition, schools plan, and management programs, READ-E 1 will include a comprehensive assessment of the proficiency of the crew across all mission areas. This mission area proficiency assessment may be demonstrated via available onboard training systems and the results of the assessment will be used to determine if refresher training is required for the ship to remain a surge asset or to help ISIC/TYCOM determine if Basic Phase should or can be tailored. The requirements for the validation are provided in reference (d). 4-5 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 (2) SOH and Environmental Programs Review. TYCOM will validate the effectiveness of SOH programs that will assist the ship in execution of the Maintenance Phase. The details of this survey are provided in reference (e). (3) CRAV. The ADCON ISIC will assess the various administrative programs that comprise the CRAV. The details of this assist visit are contained within reference (f). 5. Sustainment Phase Exit Criteria a. Objective: b. Overall Ready to enter Maintenance Phase. (1) Conduct READ-E 1, READ-E 2, and READ-E 3 (2) Ships are proficient across the PESTO pillars in AT, FSO-M, MOBD, 3M, Supply, and Explosive Safety c. Personnel Pillar Exit Criteria (1) Fill: (2) Fit: COB = 90 Percent of BA COB = 90 Percent of BA (3) Critical NEC: 1 each for all critical NEC (Some mission areas may require more than one NEC (e.g., Strike (Tomahawk), BMD, & ASW) as defined in the applicable mission area certification instructions) d. Equipment Pillar Exit Criteria (1) Completion of Total Ship Readiness Assessment (TSRA) 2 (2) Availability Work Package (AWP) definitization complete e.

Training Pillar Exit Criteria (1) Basic Phase certification training POA&M complete and approved by TYCOM g. Ordnance Pillar Exit Criteria (1) Complete offload with the exception of AT requirements 4-6 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 402. Maintenance Phase 1. Focus. The focus of the Maintenance Phase is to establish a material foundation that will support Basic Phase training, subsequent operations, and maintenance and modernization to meet the ship's Expected Service Life. During this phase, ships must also strive to complete required schoolhouse training in order to have the foundational knowledge to succeed in the upcoming training cycle and, ultimately, deployment. 2. Expectations a. Availability Maintenance Actions. All maintenance availability work will be complete and certified through either RMC work certification procedures or demonstrated performance during Contractor Sea Trials. b. The ship will have satisfactorily demonstrated its ability to safely operate the engineering plant and get the ship underway. Modernization impacts on material readiness must be considered and addressed during the Maintenance Phase to ensure no impediment to training exists. c. School Requirements. Ships should make every attempt to complete all required schoolhouse training during the Maintenance and Shakedown Phases. In cases where schools cannot be completed during these periods, ships must de-conflict Basic Phase training requirements with mandatory school requirements. Ships should contact TYCOM via their chain of command as early as possible to resolve shortfalls. d. Training and PQS Programs. Training and PQS Programs must remain fully established throughout the entire FRTP to validate watchstander knowledge and proficiency. However, due to the crew turnover that typically occurs following deployment, ships must ensure that appropriate PQS assignments and training programs are established to support the WTRP for the entire FRTP. 3.

TSRA 3 is a two-week shipwide assessment, focused primarily on ship‟s hull, mechanical, and electrical (HM&E) components conducted by RMC. The purpose of TSRA 3 is to assist the ship in executing the Engineering Light-off Assessment (LOA) and achieving Maintenance Phase exit criteria. A list of material checks that will be conducted during TSRA 3 are included in reference (c). b. Readiness Evaluation 4. READ-E 4 is a 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. Due to the scope of READ-E 4, TYCOM shall be responsible for deconflicting the various events. A nominal schedule for READ-E 4 is provided in Figure 4-5. LOA Navigation Crew Cert/ Assess/ KTR Sea Fast Cruise Trials End of Avail 3 weeks Figure 4-5. READ-E 4 Optimal Schedule (1) LOA. The LOA will be conducted by ATG Engineering Assessments Atlantic/Pacific and the team may be augmented by the ADCON ISIC or TYCOM Staff. The purpose of LOA is to ensure the ship is capable of safely lighting off and operating its engineering plant prior to going to sea (Sea Trials included) when exiting a CNO Availability or any significant maintenance period (120 days or greater in length) or when the TYCOM deems it necessary. LOA must be scheduled after the availability Production Completion Date (PCD) as outlined in reference (b). All engineering programs must be established and fully functional to support light off and all Engineering damage control equipment in place and operational. The ship must have an operational Repair 5 Allowance Equipage List (AEL) to support demonstration of a Main Space Fire drill. LOA is conducted in accordance with reference (d). (2) Crew Certification. The ADCON ISIC will conduct Crew Certification on all new construction ships and ships with maintenance periods greater than or equal to 60 days. The purpose of Crew Certification is to perform a thorough review of the ship's overall training program and an assessment of their ability to provide an adequate number of qualified crew members to support safe operations at sea, to include sea trials. This determination will be based on accomplishing selected exercises, material checks of key deck/navigation/safety equipment, and level of knowledge testing of key watchstanders. The requirements of the event are provided in reference (d). 4-8 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 (3) Dock Trials and Fast Cruise. The ISIC will supervise the conduct of Dock Trials and a Fast Cruise during a CNO maintenance availability in accordance with reference (b). The overall objectives are to train the crew and determine their ability to take the ship to sea safely in a peacetime environment. Dock Trials is an opportunity to prove that equipment operates within established standards, and Fast Cruise verifies the crew is ready and qualified to take the ship to sea and simulates at-sea operating conditions. Equipment should be energized and operated as much as possible; only items that cannot be performed shall be simulated. Dock Trials and Fast Cruise requirements are contained in reference (b), Appendices I and J, and further amplified in reference (d). (4) Navigation Assessment. The ADCON ISIC will conduct a Navigation Assessment (also known as a “Nav Check Ride”) in conjunction with Contractor Sea Trials. The details of the Navigation Assessment are provided in reference (d) and (g). (5) Contractor Sea Trials. Contractor Sea Trials are conducted in accordance with reference (b), Appendix K. 5. Maintenance Phase Exit Criteria a. Objective: b. Overall Verify satisfactory completion of Maintenance Phase work (1) Availability work certified by RMC (2) Successful completion of all events in READ-E 4 403. Shakedown Phase 1. Focus. The focus of the Shakedown Phase is to verify the ship‟s material condition is able to support Basic Phase training. Shakedown Phase begins after successful completion of Contractor (KTR) Sea Trials and ends after successful completion of TYCOM Sea Trials. 2. Expectations. The end of the Shakedown Phase indicates the ship‟s readiness to commence Basic Phase training unencumbered by material deficiencies. a. Material Readiness. The primary goal of the Shakedown Phase is to ensure that all systems, including training systems meet established material condition standards to support Basic Phase training and follow-on operational tasking. 3.

Basic Phase 1. Focus. The focus of the Basic Phase is to train and certify a ship in all mission areas and be able to perform operations as an individual unit. Basic Phase begins after a ship achieves Shakedown Phase exit criteria and will be executed in two parts. Mobility (Tier 1) and Unit Tactical (Tier 2) training will follow a five-step process that starts with material assessment, training, develops individual and watch team skills, builds watch team cohesion and proficiency, and concludes with qualification events for each mission area. Shipboard training teams will also be trained throughout the Basic Phase. Upon completion of all mission area certifications the TYCOM will report Basic Phase Completion and the ship will transition to the Integrated/Advanced Phase. 2. Expectations a. Demonstrated Proficiency. The ship must be successful at the qualification events across all Mobility (Tier 1) mission areas prior to advancing to Unit Tactical (Tier 2) training. All Basic Phase training qualification events will be completed (with a minimum passing score of 80%) prior to advancing to Group Tactical (Tier 3) training. b. Mobility (Tier 1) and Unit Tactical (Tier 2) training events are sequenced to build upon each other such that each ship is competent in basic mobility and communications prior to commencing single unit warfare activities. When ships operate as a cohesive group, the combination of capabilities is greater than the sum of its parts but is reliant on the tactical competence of each unit. Therefore, each ship must master all Mobility and Unit Tactical training events and exercises as specified in reference (a). 3. Notional Schedule. Basic Phase.

Throughout the Basic Phase, various evaluations, assessments, and 4-13 11 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 certifications will be conducted to reinforce standards compliance. Events that require significant coordination are outlined below; remaining events are listed in Appendix B. a. Readiness Evaluation 6. READ-E 6 is a TYCOM-led assessment that verifies the ship‟s readiness to transition from Tier 1 (Mobility) to Tier 2 (Unit Tactical). The assessment is comprised of a Material Inspection SOE Rehearsal, an Industrial Hygiene (IH) Survey, Tier 2 Material Validation, and a maintenance period. Duration of the event is ideally three weeks with 1.5 days underway. A nominal schedule for READ-E 6 is provided in Figure 4-9. IH MI SOE Rehearsal Survey Tier 2 Mat’l Validation CMAV 3-4 weeks Figure 4-9. READ-E 6 Optimal Schedule (1) Material Inspection SOE Rehearsal. The first four days of READ-E 6 will be a Material Inspection SOE Rehearsal, regardless of whether the ship is scheduled to have an INSURV MI or a TYCOM MI. The rehearsal will be coordinated by TYCOM with assessment assistance from the ADCON ISIC and RMC. Days 1 and 2 will be used to execute the underway portion of the SOE. Following return to homeport, ships will continue with inport material checks until complete. (2) IH Survey. Following the SOE Rehearsal, the local Medical Training Facility Industrial Hygienists will conduct a periodic IH Survey to identify workplace hazards, characterize risk, and develop appropriate controls to reduce hazards. The details of an IH Survey are contained in reference (e). (3) Combat Systems Material Validation. Following the SOE rehearsal, ATG will validate the combat systems material condition to ensure the equipment can support Unit Tactical (Tier 2) training. To prevent duplication of effort, only items not validated during TSRA 4 or the Material Inspection SOE Rehearsal will be assessed during this period. A list of material checks are provided on the SFRM website. (4) Maintenance Period. A dedicated maintenance period is provided to correct any remaining deficiencies to support Tier 2 training and prepare the ship for the upcoming Material Inspection in the Integrated/Advanced Phase. 5.

Ordnance Pillar Exit Criteria (1) Conventional Ordnance Safety Review (COSR) successfully completed (2) Ammunition onboard to support AT requirements plus all Integrated/Advanced training requirements 405. 1. Integrated / Advanced Phase Focus a. Integrated Phase. The focus of the Integrated Phase is to combine individual unit warfare skill sets 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 and to take a tactical leadership role as a Task Force Commander, Task Unit Commander, or Warfare Commander. b. Advanced Phase. The focus of the Advanced Phase is to conduct advanced core and mission specific training for units not assigned to a strike group or ARG (i.e., Independent Deployers). c. Material Readiness. Ships will undergo an INSURV or TYCOM Material Inspection during each FRTP (approximately 6-8 weeks following Basic Phase completion) in order to reinforce standards compliance and confidently provide USFF FJO/C3F/C7F with ships that are materially ready to perform operational tasking. 4-15 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 2. Expectations. Attain appropriate certification and meet TFOM of 80% in all Tactical Mission Areas. Integrated/Advanced Phase will include Unit Level Advanced Certification Events that will serve to build additional unit Tactical Mission Area skills in addition to USFF FJO/C3F/C7F requirements. At the conclusion of the Integrated/Advanced Phase, USFF FJO/C3F/C7F (as applicable) with CNSP/CNSL recommendation will grant Deployment Certification in accordance with reference (i). Each unit will also complete either INSURV or a TYCOM Material Inspection during this phase. 3. Notional Schedule. Figure 4-10 depicts the notional schedule for the Integrated/Advanced Phase.

Readiness Evaluations, Assessments, Certifications and Inspections. Throughout the Integrated/Advanced Phase, various evaluations, assessments, certifications, and inspections will be conducted to reinforce standards compliance. Events that require significant coordination are outlined below; remaining events are listed in Appendix B. a. Integrated Phase training synthesizes unit tactical skills into single cohesive teams capable of delivering in challenging warfare situations. Each event builds upon the last not unlike the approach taken in Mobility and Tactical training. At sea and classroom training includes the following events as wells as specific events identified in applicable Operational Orders (OPORDS): (1) Warfare Commanders Course(s) (WCC) (2) Integrated ASW Course (IAC) Phase I (3) Group Commander Training (GCT) (4) Fleet Synthetic Training – Warfare Commander / Group Commander / Joint / Fleet (FST-WC / FST-GC / FST-J / FST-F) (5) Group Sail (6) IAC Phase II (7) Monthly Inport Exercises (MITE) 4-16 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 (8) Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) (9) Joint Task Force Exercise (JTFEX) (10) Certification Exercise (CERTEX) for ARG/MEU b. Readiness Evaluation 7. READ-E 7 is a one month period allotted to the ship in order to prepare for and conduct an INSURV or TYCOM Material Inspection (MI). It is comprised of two distinct periods: MI Preparation Time and the actual MI. Ships will not be available for tasking by the USFF FJO/C3F/C7F during READ-E 7. A nominal schedule for READ-E 7 is provided in Figure 4-11. MI Prep Time MI 4 weeks Figure 4-11. READ-E 7 Optimal Schedule (1) MI Preparation (Prep) Time. MI Prep Time is a TYCOM-led assessment and repair period leading up to an INSURV and TYCOM MI. A combination of MI SOE Rehearsals, maintenance periods, and other assist team visits may be scheduled depending each ship‟s readiness for MI. TYCOM will coordinate with the ISIC and ship to determine the appropriate course of action for each ship; external organizations will not be able to conduct ship visits during this period without prior approval from TYCOM. (2) Material Inspection. The Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) will conduct Material Inspections in accordance with references (b) and (j). COMNAVSURFPAC will conduct TYCOM Material Inspections in accordance with reference (k), and COMNAVSURFLANT will conduct TYCOM Material Inspections in accordance with reference (l). 5. Integrated/Advanced Phase Exit Criteria a. Objective: Ready to enter Sustainment Phase. The goal of Integrated/Advanced phase training is to synthesize unit/staff actions into coordinated strike group operations in a challenging, multi-warfare operational environment. b.

Training Pillar Exit Criteria (1) Complete applicable AEs (2) Satisfactory complete mission area (Performance and Readiness Review) PARR, if tasked g. Ordnance Pillar Exit Criteria (1) 100% Shipfill to supports AT requirements and all deployment requirements 406. FRTP Variations 1. One of the primary goals of this strategy is for each ship to have a standard, predictable training path throughout the FRTP. This predictability is necessary in order to synchronize the various maintenance, training, and operational requirements. Circumstances may require deviations from the notional FRTP cycle outlined in reference (i). Although a range of possibilities exist, three primary variations are described below. a. Full Basic Phase. Ships that conduct a scheduled CNO Availability and have sufficient training time available before the next deployment will execute the established training and certification plan. b. Abbreviated Basic Phase. When a ship is not allotted sufficient time to complete a full Basic Phase following a CNO Availability, a tailored training plan will be established based upon the results of READ-E 3. This tailored plan will provide training in those mission areas assessed by the TYCOM as below minimum acceptable standards. c. Certification Extension. Ships without a dedicated CNO Availability between scheduled deployments remain in sustainment and will execute a 4-18 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 Certification Validation to support certification extension. The Certification Validation will be a comprehensive assessment of all assigned warfare area certifications. Mission Areas validated below certification criteria will receive additional training in order to maintain certification. Figure 4-12 gives an example of each variation. Ship returns from deployment Ship proceeds to Integrated / Advanced Phase Extended FRTP Cycle - Certification Extension Deploy again this FRTP? No Yes Tailor Mission Area training as needed Certification Validation Abbreviated FRTP Cycle - Abbreviated Basic Phase READ-E 3 Time for Full Basic Phase? Yes No Notional FRTP Cycle - Full Basic Phase READ-E 3 Figure 4-12. 2. Tailored Basic Phase (All Mission Areas) Maintenance Availability Fail x.4 Mission Area Certification Event Pass Full Basic Phase (All Mission Areas) Maintenance Availability Variations to the FRTP and Training Cycle Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF) a. FDNF ships‟ high operational tempo (OPTEMPO) and frequent tasking in support of national objectives requires these ships always be prepared to execute complex operations. This demand for continuous readiness requires a policy that ensures FDNF ships do not lapse in training, readiness, material condition, or manning. b. FDNF ships do not execute the notional FRTP cycle in Figure 4-1. To maintain the necessary training flexibility, mission area certifications will not expire when the ship enters an extended maintenance period as described in Section 104. Instead, mission area certification is set at a 24 month periodicity. Mission areas may be recertified at any point within that 24month periodicity. Ships, ISICs and ATG will sequence the prescribed training, assessments, and evaluations, in accordance with Appendix A, with the ship‟s operational and maintenance schedules in order to maintain certification periodicity. c. An individual mission area certification may require a full series of training and assessments, or may only require some minimal training and then a certification. The ISIC, working with the ship and ATG, shall be responsible for determining the level of training required prior to a certification event. d. The ship shall report to the NFC and TYCOM, via the ISIC, info their local ATG, if they are unable to re-certify any mission areas within the 24 month requirement. This report will include a risk assessment and mitigation plan. 4-19 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 3. Hull Swaps/Crew Exchange a. In cases where crews move from one ship to another, the general rule is that mission area certifications move with the crew and both crews will be fully certified on their current hulls. b. Since certifications will follow both crews to their new hulls, post hull swap training will highlight the differences between the two ships and provide specific mission area verification. The primary focus of mission area verification will be in the following areas: (1) Navigation (MOB-N) (2) Seamanship (MOB-S) (3) Engineering (MOB-E) (4) Damage Control (MOB-D) (5) Anti-Terrorism (AT) (6) Search and Rescue (SAR) (7) Medical (FSO-M) (8) Explosive Safety (EXPSAF) (9) Amphibious Warfare (AMW) (10) Aviation (AIR) (11) Communications (CCC) c. Consideration for additional mission area validations will be determined based on USFF FJO/C3F/C7F operational guidance in support of future operations required of either or both hulls. Crew Certification shall be conducted over a 3-5 day period as required. 4. New Construction Shakedown Training a. The purpose of shakedown training is to ensure a ship is safe to operate. Shakedown training occurs between initial sail-away from the building yard until completion of the Obligation Work Limiting Date (OWLD). It forms the first step in the basic unit level training process leading to operational employment for new construction ships. b. areas: Shakedown training will comprise unit level training in the following (1) Damage Control (MOB-D) (2) Navigation (MOB-N) (3) Seamanship (MOB-S) (4) Engineering (MOB-E) 4-20 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 (5) Communications (CCC) (6) Medical (FSO-M) (7) Aviation (AIR) (8) Anti-Terrorism (AT) (9) Explosive Safety (EXPSAF) c. Shakedown training is the responsibility of the ISIC or TYCOM as appropriate with support from ATG and other training commands. The specific shakedown training syllabus will be determined during crew certification. For a new construction ship the ATG on the coast where the ship will be homeported will provide training as requested by the Commanding Officer. d. Crew certification is required for all new construction ships. The difference between crew certification for new construction ships and ships in commission is one of depth, detail and time. New construction crew certification will be conducted as a two-phase event. The first event will be conducted one to two months before LOA to ensure the ship has properly identified the manning and training necessary to take the ship to sea. The second event will mirror the crew certification event conducted by ships already in commission. 5. Rotational Crews (with the exception of LCS) a. Rotational Crew Certification. The ADCON ISIC serves as the Class Advocate while the TYCOM serves as the mission area certification authority for CONUS rotational crews during their FRTP process. CONUS rotational crews use the FRTP process and exit criteria in accordance with metrics, timelines, and protocols established by the TYCOM, ATG, and ADCON ISIC. The general rule is that certifications move with the rotational crew. In those cases where there are significant material elements in the certification (i.e., supply inventories and fiscal accountability), those elements must be verified by the ADCON ISIC and the incoming/outgoing Commanding Officers as being satisfactory incident to crew turnover. b. Rotational Crew Concept. CONUS and Bahrain-based ships/crews use a rotational crew concept that fundamentally complicates the scheduling of required maintenance intensive events (i.e., TSRAs and Material Inspections) and necessitate some local tailoring to the nominal FRTP scheduling process to accommodate the right mixture of training-to-certification fidelity, duration, and frequency for each rotational crew. In these instances, the ADCON ISIC will take the lead in coordinating with USFF FJO/C3F/C7F, TYCOM, and ATG as necessary to accommodate various live, synthetic, and simulator training scheduling priorities; and if necessary, facilitate hull crossdecking, in order to ensure training-to-certification venues remain robust and current, while simultaneously supporting necessary deployment rotation sequence. c. Rotational Crew FRTP. The notional FRTP for rotational crews varies based upon the ship class. A description of the notional FRTP for Mine Countermeasure (MCM) and Patrol Coastal (PC) ships is provided below. 4-21 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 (1) MCM Rotational Crew FRTP. The notional FRTP is modified for MCM rotational crews in order to match their fixed 30 month rotation cycle (12 months CONUS, 6 months deployed, 6 months CONUS, 6 months deployed), and is based on the crew employment, not the hull. The MCM rotational crew FRTP has only three CONUS training-to-certification phases: Basic, Integrated/ Advanced, and Sustainment. Basic Phase Tier 2 consists of MIW, SUW, and INT and culminates into IURFT certification. Basic Phase Tier 2 may be combined with, or proceed into, an Integrated/Advanced Phase MCM Exercise (MCMEX) which culminates in Deployment Certification. MCM rotational crews will conduct two deployments within a single FRTP, and will therefore execute a tailored refresh period during the Sustainment Phase between the two deployments. The extent of the refresh period will be determined by the results of a READ-E 3. Figure 4-13 outlines the MCM FRTP. READ-E 1 READ-E 2/3 MCM FRTP # 1 BASIC PHASE Tier 1 BASIC PHASE Tier 1 BASIC PHASE Tier 2 MIW ADV BASIC PHASE Tier 2 MIW ADV SUSTAINMENT PHASE (DEPLOY) SUSTAINMENT PHASE (CONUS) SUSTAINMENT PHASE (DEPLOY) SUSTAINMENT PHASE (DEPLOY) SUSTAINMENT PHASE (CONUS) SUSTAINMENT PHASE (DEPLOY) MCM FRTP # 2 READ-E 1 Figure 4-13. READ-E 1 BP #2 READ-E 2/3 READ-E 1 BP #3 MCM FRTP Notional Schedule (2) PC Rotational Crew FRTP. The notional FRTP is modified for PC rotational crews in order to match their rotation cycle (8-9 months CONUS, 6 months deployed), and is based on the crew employment, not the hull. The PC rotational crew FRTP requires the three CONUS training-to-certification phases; Basic, Integrated, and Sustainment; be completed within the 8-9 month inter-deployment CONUS period. Basic Phase Tier 2 may be combined with, or proceed into, an Integrated Training Phase, and subsequently culminates in Deployment Certification. The PC Crew warfare area certifications follow a 24 month periodicity with a potential 3 month extension waiver as required. 4-22 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 Appendix A READINESS EVALUATIONS, ASSESSMENTS, CERTIFICATIONS, AND INSPECTIONS SECTION 1 GENERAL Ref: (a) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 4790.1 (Series) (b) COMNAVSURFORINST 3700.1 (Series) (c) OPNAVINST 3120.28 (Series) (d) OPNAVINST 3120.35 (Series) (e) NAVAIRINST 3120.1 (Series) (f) COMPACFLTINST 9830.1 (Series) (g) OPNAVINST 8000.16 (Series) (h) NAVAIR 19-25D-20 (i) COMNAVSURFORINST 3500.4 (Series) (j) COMNAVAIRFORINST 3500.51 (Series) (k) CMFC ORDER 3500.2 (Series) (l) MARFORPACO 3501.3 (Series) (m) NAVAIRINST 13800.17 (Series) (n) COMNAVSURFORINST 8023.1 (Series) (o) COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2 (Series) (p) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3361.1 (Series) (q) OPNAVINST 9410.5 (Series) (r) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3500.11 (Series) (s) HQMC POE 4000 (Series) (t) USFF OPORD 3300 (u) COMNAVSURFORINST 8820.1 (Series) (v) COMNAVSURFORINST 8820.2 (Series) (w) Aegis BMD Readiness Assessment Plan, NSWC PHD Jul 05 (x) EKMS 3C (y) SECNAVMAN 5510.3 (Series) (z) USSAN 1-07 April 5, 2007 (aa) SWE/NAE CBRD Support Policy August 22, 2007 (ab) COMFLTFORCOMINST 4790.3 (Series) (ac) OPNAVINST 9220.3 (Series) (ad) NAVSEATECHMAN 221 (ae) OPNAVINST 5090.1 (Series) (af) NAVSEAINST 9593.2 (Series) (ag) NOSSAINST 8023.12 (Series) (ah) COMNAVSURFOR 8023.6 (Series) (ai) OPNAVINST 5100.19 (Series) (aj) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 6000.2 (Series) (ak) COMFLTFORCOMINST 6600.1 (Series) (al) BUMEDINST 6470.22 (Series) (am) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 6320.2 (Series) (an) COMNAVSURFORINST 6320.1B (Series) (ao) NAVMED P-5055 (ap) OPNAVINST 6530.4 (Series) (aq) NAVMED P-5010 (ar) NAVMED P-5052 (as) OPNAVINST 6210.2 (Series) (at) BUMEDINST 6250.14 (Series) (au) AFIP PAM 40-24 A-1 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 (av) NAVMED P-5132 (aw) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANT/COMNAVAIRLANT/COMNAVAIRPACINST 3530.4 (Series) (ax) NAVSEAINST 9420.4 (Series) (ay) COMNAVSURFORINST 3130.2 (Series) (az) COMNAVSURFORINST 5040.1 (Series) (ba) OPNAVINST 1710.9 (Series) (bb) BUPERSINST 1710.16 (Series) (bc) NAVSUP P-485 (bd) COMTHIRDFLT message DTG 210200ZMAY10 (be) SECNAVINST 7510.7 (Series) (bf) COMNAVSURFORINST 8820.1 (Series) (bg) COMNAVSURFORINST 8820.3 (Series) (bh) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 9093.2 (Series) (bi) COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 4700.1 (Series) (bj) LCAC SEAOPS (S9LCA-AA-SSM-040) (bk) OPNAVINST 2400.20 (Series) (bl) NAVSEA S9040-AA-GTP-010/SSC (bm) COMUSFLTFORCOM/COMPACFLTINST 3500.3 (Series) (bn) Applicable OPORD (bo) DoD Directive 8530.1 (Series) (bp) DoD Directive 8530.1-M (Series) (bq) NAVSEAINST 8370.2 (Series) (br) WFIP Number 75 Part 2H (bs) OPNAVINST 3130.6 (Series) (bt) COMNAVSURFPACINST 4730.2 (Series) (bu) COMNAVSURFLANTINST 4730.2 (Series) (bv) COMUSFLTFORCOM/COMPACFLT message DTG 282138ZJAN11 (bw) COMTHIRDFLT message DTG 010020ZAUG09 A-101. General. SFRM policy execution depends on the integration of manning, maintenance, training and sustainment throughout all Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) phases. Integrated readiness depends on a coherent plan of mutually supportive events that provides ships sufficient time to properly maintain, operate, and employ ship systems safely and confidently. The goal of the process is that Sailors deploy with their ship at the peak of readiness, that they are properly prepared to overcome the challenges presented on deployment, and that they have been given the training to sustain a high level of readiness throughout deployment. This appendix delivers the details of the integrated readiness plan by capturing in a single document all of those events required to ensure the ships of the Surface Force are combat ready. A-102. Appendix Organization. Each event listed herein supports both a phase of the FRTP and a specific mission area. 1. Section 2, Mission Area Certification Dependencies, tabulates the events that must be current in order for the ship to be certified in each mission area. This provides Commanders, Commanding Officers, and their command leadership teams a tool that clearly illustrates the sequence and composition events necessary to succeed in the Basic Phase and throughout the FRTP. Specific timing of an event within the designated period may vary based on a number of factors but an understanding of the preparations required by phase, the relative impact on departments and divisions and the ship as a whole, and the internal and external planning requirements should ensure optimal execution of each event. A-2 COMNAVSURFPACINST 3502.3/ COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3502.3 9 Mar 12 2. Section 3, Mandatory SFRM Events by Mission Area, provides a convenient view to departmental or division leadership, as well as some external activities, to identify the events that must be conducted throughout the FRTP. A program of rigorous self-assessment and continuous identification of manning, training, and materiel requirements by every ship across the FRTP is essential to maintain self-sustaining readiness. However, each mission area has specific materiel and training events designed to bring the best expertise available to the ship to educate, train, assess, and certify the ship in that mission area. 3. Section 4, As Required SFRM Events, provides a list of additional events that may be requested by Commanding Officers or required for specific ships by TYCOM or ADCON ISIC.
