LRTP
Long Range Training Plan
Used to manage scope of training and to plan for satisfaction of requirements
in the long term (12 months)
The Training Officer and Department Heads (DH) are responsible for developing and maintaining the Long Range Training Plan (LRTP). The Division Officer (DivO) will push inputs up to the DH for review.
The Training Officer then forwards these plans to the Executive Officer (XO)
for review and the Commanding Officer for approval.
The Training Officer is responsible for keeping the plan up to date, and he or
she should receive updates on status and progress at each Planning Board for
Training (PB4T)
SRTP
Short Range Training Plan
SRTP is used to schedule training topics, derived from the LRTP
This training plan is broken down into the following three sub-plans:
Quarterly
Presented to PB4T at least one month before the quarter to ensure
there are no conflicts with training teams
Once approved, departments will add specific department training to
not interfere with ship wide training
Monthly
Inputs from divisions/training teams compiled by DH to present at
PB4T one week prior to the month
Weekly
Will have times and locations for all divisional/team training
DivO, Chief and Training PO responsible for the proper execution and recording of training.
5 steps to ORM Process
1) Identify hazards
2) Assess hazards
3) Make risk decisions
4) Implement controls
5) Supervise
FP CON NORMAL
Applies when there is no discernible threat of possible terrorist activity.
FP CON ALPHA
Applies when there is a general threat of terrorist activity against the installation and the personnel
The nature and extent are unpredictable
FP CON BRAVO
Applies when an increased and more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists
FP CON CHARLIE
Applies when incident occurs or when intelligence indicates that some form of terrorist action against the installation or it the personnel is imminent.
FP CON DELTA
Highest level of threat conditions
Applies to the immediate area where a terrorist attack has occurred or when intelligence indicates terrorist action against a specific location or person is likely.
6 factors that determine FPCON
Existence Capability Intentions History Targeting Security Environment
What is a carcass?
A broken but repairable componant that must be turned in when a new componant is ordered. Doing so lets the ship get a discount on the new part equal to the value of the carcass, freeing up funds for other uses.
Example: Replacing a $10,000 part will cost the ship $10,000 unless they turn in the carcass of the old part. In this case, if the carcass is $3,000, the ship will only pay $7,000.
What is a maintenance assistance module (MAM)?
Replaceable assemblies required to
execute an approved maintenance plan,
identifying faults by swapping known-good
assemblies for potentially bad ones.
MAMs are NOT spare parts and should NOT be left in
equipment to repair casualties.
MAM accountability lies with the Department Head
who has custody
What is a Quality Deficiency Report (QDM)?
The purpose of initiating a QDR is to provide feedback to
activities responsible for design, development, purchasing, production, supply, maintenance, contract administration and other functions so that action can be taken to determine cause, take corrective action, and prevent recurring deficiencies.
Initiating a QDR also accomplishes several other important issues such as segregating and purging defective material from the supply system, issuing credit to the QDR originator to balance financial records and to adjust planned overhauls and repairs to carcasses.
The reporting of defective material also allows the Navy to record each event in their database for trend analysis and monitoring of failures.
What is a casualty?
Equipment malfunction which can not be corrected within 48 hours and:
- Reduces unit’s ability to perform a primary mission
- Reduces unit’s ability to perform a secondary mission
- Reduces a training command’s ability to perform its mission (n/a for sea commands)
