Operator’s
Handbook
This section discusses the minimum equipment to be carried onboard CG
boats.
Specific boat type operator’s handbooks contain details of the minimum
equipment necessary for boat operation.
Coxswains should consider the mission being performed to determine if
additional equipment, not normally onboard the boat is necessary
(additional blankets, personal flotation devices (PFDs), Aqueous
FilmFormingFoam (AFFF), etc.). Equipment that is not expressly
authorized by the specific boat type operator’s handbooks or the District
Commander (for non-standard boats) may not be permanently stored
onboard unit boats. Details of this process are contained in this Manual
Part 5, Readiness and Standardization.
District Commanders may use the outfit list provided in Reference (ee)
or modify the outfit list to meet particular needs of their resources.
