Organizational
Diagram
Figure 3-4 provides a standard organizational diagram for an Aids to
Navigat ion Team. All Aids to Navigation Team functions must be stated in
the Aids to Navigation Teams’ organization chart. Aids to Navigation
Teams are authorized to make additions or deletions of functions and duties
where necessary. However, horizontal changes in the existing chart should
be avoided.
The size of the Aids to Navigation Team and local conditions (e.g.
personnel allowance, Discrepancy Response Crew requirements, number
and type of boats assigned, distance to the parent command, and other
factors) should determine any necessary changes. Collateral duties or other
duties particular to an individual Aids to Navigation Team may be added to
the organizational chart without changing its effectiveness or its basic
purpose.
