Crew Rest
A management discipline designed to preserve and control the functional
and structural characteristics of a standard boat. Unlike Cutters, standard
boats are resources that do not have permanent crews. These resources
must be as uniform as possible to support operational safety, maximize
crew familiarity, and simplify training, maintenance and support.
A level of certification for Reserve members which prepares them for
mobilization or deployment in the PWCS mission.
A systematic process for balancing organizational (e.g. 24/7 operations,
number of B-0 resources, etc.) and mission (e.g. environmental factors,
time -of-day, etc.) requirements with the physical and mental capabilities
and needs of the crew. CEM uses a systems approach to evaluate the
effects of all factors, and interaction of these factors, to control adverse
effects, like fatigue, of our operations.
Time during which alert crews do not engage in any Station work or
operations. Crews are allowed to recreate and sleep.
Crew Underway Begins when the member reports to the designated place to prepare for a
Time specific boat mission. Computation of such time ends when the mission
is complete. Crew underway time includes time spent accomplishing
pre-mission and post-mission boat checks.
