Responsibilities and Duties
C.1. Unit
Commanders
Unit CO/ OICs shall:
(01) Become thoroughly familiar with the contents of and ensure
personnel are following all applicable references listed in this
Manual Part 4, Chapter 2.
(02) Monitor the unit training program.
(03) Maintain file of Crew Proficiency Reports (electronic
documentation is sufficient).
(04) When situations exist that preclude a member from completing
qualification tasks, issue deferred task(s) as follows:
a) Temporary deferments are appropriate when training
resources (or other limitations, e.g. heavy weather) are not
available (or not economically feasible) within the
qualification time frames required to maintain unit mission
capability. Deferments lasting more than 60 days require
command level documentation of actions which provide next
level in the chain of command visibility of resource issues. If
tasks are temporarily deferred then interim certifications are
normally used.
b) Permanent. Obtain waiver from Commandant (CG-731) via
Operational Commander, then outline in the unit
SORM/CORM those tasks of U.S. Coast Guard Boat
Operations and Training (BOAT) Manual VOL II,
COMDTINST M161134.3 (series) which cannot be
completed at unit. If tasks are permanently deferred then
normal certifications are used. Upon personnel transfer,
previously deferred tasks must be reconsidered for
completion based on new unit capabilities.
