The satisfactory completion of the appropriate qualification tasks.
The ability of a boat to perform the functions and missions for which it
was designed.
A minimum of three members, the RFO team consists of members
designated by the Operational Commander. Teams conduct annual
assessment visits to ensure the goals of the Readiness and
Standardization Program are achieved.
A Reserve Augmented unit is a unit that relies on reserve personnel for at
least one third of its primary duty section staffing for three or more
months a year.
That period of time after operations and/or Station work which is
allocated for rest and recovery and during which no other duties are
assigned or performed. Any combination of off-duty time and standby
duty may make up rest-recovery time. Rest-recovery time does not
necessarily allow the individual to go home or otherwise leave the
bounds of the unit.
A rough bar is a river entrance or inlet where heavy seas or surf
conditions exist. Also, in situations where the Coxswain or OIC is
unsure, a rough bar is assumed.
The Senior Boatswain’s Mate permanently assigned, other than OIC or
XPO. For the purposes of Boat Crew Training, this individual is
considered a member of the Command Cadre whose primary function is
to lend experience to the unit training program, and assist in the training
and mentoring of subordinate personnel.
A period of time available for an individual to devote to sleeping that is
not interrupted by official responsibilities.
Any Coast Guard boat managed by Commandant (CG-731) with an
Operator’s Handbook directing the standardization of that boat type and
associated equipment.
