ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS
Ref: (a) U.S. Coast Guard Boat Operations and Training (BOAT) Manual, Vol. I,
COMDTINST M16114.32 (series)
1. During FY-09, the Boat Forces and Cutter Operations Standardization Team (BFCO
STANTEAM) visited and reported the “ready status” of 159 operational units as well as the
status and/or condition of 464 small boats.
2. Of the 464 boats reported 386 were evaluated and given an “upon arrival” rating of Bravo,
Bravo (Restricted) or Charlie. The remaining 78 boats, including 2 Special Purpose Craft –
Near-Shore Life Boats (SPC-NLB), were evaluated during “assist” assessments or as a courtesy
to the unit.
3. Ready for Operations: Of the 159 unit visits, 120 resulted in completed assessments. 37 of
the visits were “assist” assessments and 2 were incomplete. The overall FY-09 average score for
completed assessments was 39. A total of 107 units (89%) were found ready for operations and
13 units (11%) were found not ready for operations.
4. The following enclosures contain materiel inspection data, operational evaluations, test
results, FY-09 CASREP and FY-09 MISHAP data for each platform type inspected. The
materiel inspection data was derived only from the boats that were rated by the BFCO
STANTEAM. The Rescue & Survival Systems Program and Training Program analysis is
contained in a separate enclosure.

TACTICS “ASSIST” ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS
1. 14 Units were randomly selected for assist visits for the Ports, Waterways and Coastal
Security (PWCS) “Tactics” mission. A 30 point scale is used for the Tactics assessment. A
minimum score of 20 is required to receive a Ready for Operations rating. The average final
score for the 14 units assessed was 19.2.
2. The traditional 10 point scale is used for Underway Exercises. A 10 point scale is also
used for Operational Briefs which are required prior to getting underway for any PWCS
mission.
Operational Briefing Total Drills Satisfactory Unsatisfactory
Pre-Brief 14 14 00
De-Brief 15 15 00
Underway Exercises Total Drills Satisfactory Unsatisfactory
Stationary Security Zone 173 140 33
Moving Security Zone 155 128 27
Total 357 297 60
3. A non-traditional, 10 point scale was chosen for the PWCS written exams. Given the
nature of the PWCS mission it was determined that the knowledge required of a tactical
coxswain or crew member should be given equal importance. Written examinations were
administered to all certified boat crew members.

45. TRAINING PROGRAM ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS
1. Administrative reviews showed that a majority of the units visited had training program
discrepancies. Listed below are the most common discrepancies.
• Certified reserve members not being properly tracked/certified.
• Missing required charts for the AOR.
• Failed to meet required search patterns for currency maintenance.
• Deferred tasks procedures were not properly followed.
• Improper decertification procedures (NAVRUL lapsed, currency maintenance).
• Specific operating guidance, such as speed limits, safe speed, and safe operating
distance from known hazards, was missing from navigation standards.
• Unit not having multiple TMT data entry users.
• Charts not up to date.
• Coxswains and engineers are not certified as crewman prior to attaining the
advanced qualification.
• Currency not being maintained IAW ref (a).
• Unit CO/OIC not signing or verifying TMT competency summary reports.
• Training records for CB-OTH were missing required documentation (i.e: boat
crew examining board letters, task accomplishment records, certification
letters, and competency summary reports).
• CB-OTH members were not conducting required launch and recoveries to
maintain semi-annual currency.
2. The percentages below indicate overall program compliance upon arrival and upon
departure of the BFCO STANTEAM. Only the data from completed assessments was used.
