ship’s personnel proficiency in detecting, tracking, and successfully engaging hostile threats. The instructions that set forth specific training re- quirements include training and evaluation proce- dures for conducting (1) readiness and operational evaluations, (2) composite training unit exercises, (3) fleet exercises, and (4) battle readiness exercises. Readiness and Operational Evaluations Readiness and operational evaluations are a ma- jor part of fleet exercises to provide advanced train- ing and to examine fleet capabilities and limitations in warfare aspects. Normally, the duration of the exercise is 8 to 10 days, with the first 3 or 4 days de- voted to warm-up operations. The exercise scenario and the emphasis on particular warfare areas are ad- justed to the number, type, and training state of the participants. Specific accomplishment objectives in a given readiness and operational evaluation are pub- lished in the instruction letter for that exercise. All readiness and operational evaluation exer- cises have the following broad objectives: To train the fleet in various aspects of naval warfare and confrontation at sea, with emphasis on improving command and control. To provide specialized predeployment train- ing for anticipated fleet operations. To identify, measure, and analyze the practi- cable extent of fleet performance, capabilities, and limitations, and to develop appropriate recommended corrective action. To develop and test new tactics and doctrine. Composite Training Unit Exercises The composite training unit exercise has the fol- lowing overall goals: To enhance the readiness of participating units. To provide predeployment training. To test and evaluate new doctrine and proce- dures. To stimulate development of new concepts in naval warfare. Ships participating in composite training unit exercises should make maximum use of underway time to the operating area for training and drilling. This en route period is an excellent opportunity for the combat systems/weapons team and participating units to perfect their skills in the tactics and pro- cedures of the upcoming exercise. In addition to intraship training, the units can also train in multiship operations and evolutions in prep- aration to accomplish the stated exercise objectives. A composite training unit exercise has the fol- lowing specific objectives: To permit participants to conduct exercises in a multithreat environment to enhance readiness. To complete the maximum feasible type com- mander exercises required to achieve unit training readiness levels and special predeployment require- ments; To achieve unit familiarity and expertise in fleet report requirements and procedures required by higher authority. To train in operations under the minimum radiation concept, radiating electronic and communi- cations equipment necessary to accomplish a specific mission or task, while, at the same time, ensuring safety. To identify all levels of performance degrada- tion due to ship and system incompatibilities. To train and increase pects of operational security. proficiency in all as- 5-2

Fleet Exercises Battle Readiness Exercises Fleet exercises are held in accordance with fleet exercise publications (FXPs), which combine the training prescribed for crews of all ship types. There are three FXPs. FXP 1, Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW) Exer- cises, contains submarine and antisubmarine exer- cises. It also contains exercises to familiarize ASW personnel with basic doctrine, tactics, and weapons; exercises to train air and surface units in coordinated operation against submarines; and exercises to train air, surface, and submarine forces to operate under the direction of shore-based headquarters. FXP 2, Antiair Warfare (AAW) Exercises, contains air and antiair warfare exercises. It also con- tains exercises to train and evaluate gunnery person- nel in detecting, tracking, and destroying air targets; exercises to train and evaluate missile weapon sub- systems personnel in detecting, tracking, and de- stroying air targets and antiship missiles; and exercises to evaluate CIC personnel in intercept con- trol and AAW operations. FXP 3, Strike Warfare (STW), AntiSurface Ship Warfare (ASQ), Intelligence (INT), Electronic Warfare (ELW), and Command, Control, and Com- munications (CCC) Exercises, contains ship exer- cises. It also contains exercises for training gunnery personnel in naval gunfire support, surface firing, and spotting; exercises for antimine defense and sur- face-to-surface missile training; exercises for CIC and EW personnel training; and exercises to detect and combat antiship missile threats. In addition, each publication contains safety pre- cautions and exercise evaluation procedures. The force commander, the unit commanders, and the commanding officers are encouraged to use these publications to develop training programs to main- tain maximum proficiency in the applicable mission of each ship. Battle Efficiency Competition, CINCLANTFLT- INST 3590.11, outlines the requirements for training exercises and inspections that units must establish and maintain to ensure high battle readiness. This directive also contains the prerequisites and require- ments that individual ships must satisfy to earn battle efficiency awards within the force. The evaluation of battle readiness is administered to accomplish the readiness objective in as flexible a manner as pos- sible. This evaluation is based on the following actions: Minimizing formal reporting on the conduct of exercises. Providing for self-observing exercises at the discretion of the unit commander. Providing for operational equivalents in lieu of conduct of required exercises. Providing for maximum application of unit commander judgment in supervising the program to achieve the readiness objective. The exercise and inspection requirements pre- scribed are drawn from appropriate volumes of the FXP series and fleet instructions and are modified or extended with the appropriate performance standards and instructions for data collecting, evaluation, and reporting. The exercises specified are minimum re- quirements. TRAINING PROGRAMS AND SIMULATORS/STIMULATORS The proficiency exhibited by combat systems/ weapons personnel during high-level operational training exercises is often a reflection of the degree of competent training obtained at the subsystem 5-3

p. 90

level and the ability of the personnel to work together as a team. Various systems and subsystems can em- ploy computer training programs and simulators/ stimulators to provide equipment and systems oper- ators with simulated operational environments for training purposes. As a supervisor, you should be familiar with the training programs and simulators/stimulators appli- cable to your ship’s equipment or systems configura- tion. And you should make maximum use of the capabilities to fine-tune your operators and combat systems team. This training can be very effective when a ship is not actively operating. Combat Direction Systems Operator Training A variety of training is available for combat di- rection systems operators who perform duties in the combat information center (CIC). Team training is available at land-based facilities, as well as aboard ship, Land-based facilities combine classroom in- struction and hands-on team training by using system mock-ups. Fleet technical support centers (FTSCs) may provide onboard team training by using the ship’s actual equipment. Ship personnel may run in- dividualized and team training by using training programs and simulators/stimulators aboard ship. Ships that are equipped with naval tactical data systems (NTDSs) may conduct individualized train- ing on the basic operation of CIC consoles with hands-on instruction combined with the lesson trans- lator (L-TRAN) program. Further training is best ac- complished with a combination of individualized and team training. Combat systems team training is accomplished by using a variety of simulation/stimulation systems. These systems simulate data, commands, and re- sponses required for real-time testing, training, and evaluation. They are (1) land-based, (2) part of the ship’s equipment, or (3) a combination of both. Additional team training may be conducted in pierside vans, such as the 20B5 or other pierside trainers, to provide coordinated stimulation of the ship’s sensors with a variety of scenarios. The advan- tage of onboard training is that the operators can use the equipment in its own configuration, which is not always possible at land-based facilities. Combat Systems/Weapons Operator Training Combat systems/weapons operator training is essential to an effective combat climate. In gun and missile fire-control systems, a test mode usually pro- vides simulated targets and jamming. The targets can be tracked, and simulated engagements can be con- ducted. The combat systems/weapons equipment, includ- ing gun mounts and missile launchers, can be exer- cised by using simulated targets. Guided-missile training rounds that incorporate a guided-missile simulator are used with the missile launchers to sim- ulate tactical missiles. Many of the tests designed to verify operational capabilities of the combat systems and individual subsystems provide operational training of equip- ment operators by using procedural instructions identical or similar to the actual tactical operating procedures. The degree of training provided for each subsystem varies with the function of the equipment used and the testing philosophy of each subsystem. NAVAL GUNFIRE SUPPORT QUALIFICATION All ships assigned shore bombardment or naval gunfire support (NGFS) have a required operational capability to maintain an NGFS qualification. Gene- rally, this requirement includes ships with 5-inch- caliber and larger guns. Unless revoked, qualification normally lasts for 15 months. For example, if a ship were to complete the first of several required exercises in January 1995 and the last required exercise in February 1995, it would be qualified until 30 April 1996. All exercises do not need to be completed at the same time, al- though that is encouraged for the maximum use of 5-4

p. 91

the qualification period. Once qualified, the ship is expected to maintain its proficiency level throughout the qualification period. Frequent firing exercises are encouraged to maintain proficiency. Type commanders (TYCOMs) require that the basic NGFS team training course be completed when (1) 30 percent of the NGFS team (less gun-mount personnel) have been reassigned to other duties or permanently transferred, or (2) more than 90 days have passed since the last NGFS exercise was fired. NGFS qualification maybe terminated for any of the following reasons: When a ship is graded “unsatisfactory” for any NGFS exercise conducted for score. (This does not include exercises conducted as rehearsals or for proficiency training.) When a ship fires unsatisfactorily during a major exercise. When a ship commits a serious safety viola- tion at any time. QUALIFICATION PREREQUISITES Ships are required to routinely maintain a high state of material and gunnery readiness. As a result, the ships must comply with following prerequisites before conducting live firing exercises for NGFS qualification: All required gunnery and gunfire control planned maintenance system (PMS) must be current. All records of alignment checks must be pro- perly recorded in the smooth fire-control log. Formal team training, either at an NGFS trainer site or on board by an FTSC, must be com- pleted within 90 days before firing qualification exer- cises. All ships with the design capability of acqui- ring the radar beacon must successfully complete the radar beacon acquisition (RBA) exercise within 30 days of firing qualification exercises. In addition, other prerequisites may be required by the TYCOM. If so, refer to the appropriate TY- COM instructions. QUALIFICATION RULES NGFS qualification is based on the satisfactory completion of various elements and/or exercises. Both a numerical score and a grade of satisfactory or unsatisfactory are awarded. A score of 62.0 (60.0 SURFPAC) or higher is required for a satisfactory grade for each exercise or event. The final qualification score is the average of the last score attained in each of the required exercises or events. The final score must be at least 62.0. SURF- PAC allows a score of less than 60,0 on no more than one event, excluding the counter battery event, to qualify. Only one exercise may be fired by unqualified ships during each range visit. This ensures efficient range use and maintains high qualification standards. All subsequent exercises are fired for score. Exercises in progress maybe aborted because of foul range, ammunition malfunction, or equipment failure. Exercises may also be aborted to save time when, because of penalties or other point loss, the score will be unsatisfactory. During a range visit, a ship achieving a satisfac- tory grade on an exercise fired for score may not refire that exercise to improve its score until all other required exercises have been satisfactorily com- pleted. EXERCISE DOCUMENTATION TYCOMs and fleet commanders have specific data recording and reporting requirements for their exercises. Appropriate exercise manuals and appli- cable instructions identify the reporting requirements 5-5

p. 92

and formats. In addition to the exercise reporting requirements, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEASYSCOM) requires additional data collec- tion and firing reports for surface missile systems. DATA COLLECTION Before firings, during firings, and immediately after intercepts, data should be collected from var- ious sources on the firing ship. In addition, telemetric (TIM) data should also be recorded; however, TLM is normally collected by other sources. Data are collected from the fire-control systems by a combination of chart recorders, teletype print- outs, and digital data extractions recorded on mag- netic tapes. Additional data may be collected in video recordings of radar displays and charts plotting engagement data. The specific forms of data collec- tion required vary with the fire-control systems and the TYCOMs. Data extraction should start when a director is designated to a target. It should continue until the missile destructs (intercept plus approximately 10 seconds). Teletype printouts should cover the same time interval. Complete instructions for data collec- tion by missile systems are available from range per- sonnel. STANDARD MISSILE SYSTEM FIRING REPORTS Standard missile system (SMS) firing reports are required for each missile firing (with the firing key closed with the intent to fire). In addition to the firing report data, an SMS firing report message is required to be submitted within 48 hours for each firing test. Performance analysis of Navy missile weapons systems is a complex task that requires specific data that are furnished on SMS firing reports. These data can be obtained from missile firing ranges and mis- sile firing ships. The STANDARD MWTARTAR missile firing report for DDG-, FFG-, CGN-, and CG-ship classes is a five-page form that is required to be submitted within 4 days of each exercise. Other missile systems have similar requirements. ABORTED EXERCISE MESSAGES An aborted exercise message must be submitted after a commitment of range or target services to a firing unit, and before firing the key closure. This message contains the following information: 1. The applicable data elements of the firing report. 2. The number of valid target presentations. 3. The reason for failure to fire. 4. The identification of the equipment, the nature of the casualty, and the date-time-group (DTG) of the casualty report (CASREP), if applicable, if the rea- son for no-fire is a ship equipment casualty. 5. A brief narrative of the exercise. All pertinent firing report information should also be entered into the fire-control smooth log and into the applicable equipment logs. 5-6
