Q

what are CE’s, RE’s and AE’s IRT Mission area certification?

A

CE – CEs are conducted in Basic Phase and are a prerequisite to mission area certification and Basic Phase completion. Designated training organizations will assess and grade the demonstration of these exercises. The TYCOM standard for passing a CE or RE is 80% unless otherwise specified. RE- REs are conducted by ships or in the case of LCS, ship and division training teams, following mission area certification to maintain proficiency in each mission area. AE- Ships conduct AEs during the Advanced and Integrated Phases following Basic Phase completion. Although ships may not be able to perform all AEs in a given mission area, to increase flexibility in scheduling, these exercises may be conducted at any time during the Advanced, Integrated, and Sustainment Phases.
