STAN/RFO will conduct the unit training system review. Certification
for each boat crewmember, including Command Cadre, will be checked.
Currency maintenance and underway hours will be compared to ensure
compliance with requirements. If a member’s currency or certification is
in question, the STAN Team or RFO leader shall resolve the issue or
require another certified/current crewmember for that position during
drills. Each situation of this nature shall be documented in the Readiness
