Characteristics
A three- to five-member deployable evaluation team that consists of
highly trained and experienced professionals specializing in the
operational/deck and engineering aspects of each standard boat platform.
Each team conducts biennial assessment visits to ensure the goals of the
Readiness and Standardization Assessment (outlined in this Manual) are
achieved. These teams act as a deployable asset to the centers of
excellence (BFCO/NMLBS/NATON) for each standard boat platform,
and in addition to providing field units with technical information, they
support the centers by providing guidance and feedback to improve
school training and program functions.
The uniform application of processes, procedures, or techniques to
ensure boat crew safety, proficiency, configuration, and vessel reliability.
Standards are promulgated by Commandant (CG-731) and (CG-45) and

Chapter 7, Summary of Directives, provides a summary of references,
that contain policy, procedures and guidance affecting the Readiness and
