A succinct way of stating concept of operations and orders to subordinates. Remember the acronym SMEAC: Situation, Mission, Execution, Administration and Logistics, Command and Signal *Situation: divided into three sections: (1) Enemy Forces - Size, location, capabilities, and recent activity (2) Friendly Forces - Mission of higher, supporting and adjacent units. Identify who is providing security. (3) Attachments - Types and size of attachments. Time they attach. *Mission - States mission in clear and concise statements. *Mission is unit specific - what we are to accomplish *Execution - Assigns definite tasks to each element of the command, organic or attached, that contributes to carrying out the whole mission. No restrictions are set on the number of paragraphs, although information is typically divided into three areas: (1) Concept of operations - brief summary of the tactical plan the unit is to execute (2) Tasks, or missions, for each unit. For a Squad Leader's SMEAC, each fire team would be tasked in this section. (3) Coordinating instructions - actions upon contact, MOPP level, route, etc. *Administration and Logistics - Addresses all administrative, supply, or transportation concerns (i.e. the four B's) : Beans - distribution of food. Bullets - quantity of ammo and resupply info. Band-aids - location of corpsmen, med-evac plan. Bad guys - POW handling instructions. *Command and Signal - Chain of command and communications information given in two parts: (1) Communications instructions- typically an annex of standard reports, but also includes passwords and countersigns, radio call signals, frequencies, etc. (2) Chain of command- gives precedence of command and location of command posts.
101.4 Duscuss the purpose of a mishap investigation and who's responsible for conduction the investigation.
A thorough investigation is essential for indentifying the root cause of a mishap and therby preventing reoccurrance. The sole purpose of a safety investigation is to find the cause of the mishap, not determine accounatability. At all levels, the immediate supervisor has greatest influence on mishap and hazard reporting BUT ultimately it is the responsibility of the Saftey officer.

102.9 Discuss your responsibilities and conduct requires as a combatant under the Laws of Armed Conflict.
Combatants- Those in uniform, carrying a weapon, and participating in military operations are proper targets and can be fired on. Non-combatants- Medical, chaplains, and civilians.
108.6 Explain the procedures for basic land navigation using a map, lensatic compass & associated equipment.
Compasses are used to describe direction. The most common military method of describing direction is through azimuths. An azimuth is a horizontal angle, measured in a clockwise manner from a north base line. Azimuths are described in terms of degrees or mils. One circle has 360 degrees or 6400 mils. Center Hold Method: Open the cover of the compass so it forms a straight edge with the compass base. Pull the eyepiece as far to the rear as possible, perpendicular to the compass base. Align the slot in the eyepiece with the hairline sighting wire in the cover and with the target. Read the azimuth by glancing down at the dial through the lens. Compass to Cheek Method: Extend your other index finger along the other straight side. Pull your elbows firmly into your side, place the compass between your chin and belt. Turn your whole body until the compass is pointing at the object of which you are taking the reading. Look down to read the azimuth. Night Method: Compass features for night use include Luminous markings and Bezel ring- three degrees or 53 1/3 mils per click. Using the bezel ring: Set the azimuth before it gets dark. Turning the ring to the left increases the azimuth. Left decreases the azimuth. Rotate the bezel until the luminous line is over the black index line. Since each bezel click is three degrees, divide the desired azimuth by three to get the number of clicks needed. For an azimuth of 60 degrees, divide by 3 to get 20 bezel ring clicks (60º/3=20 clicks). Turn the ring that many clicks. Continuing this example, turn the ring 20 clicks left. Using the center hold method, turn your body and the compass until the north arrow is directly under the luminous line on the bezel ring. You are facing the direction of the desired azimuth. To bypass enemy positions or obstacles and still stay oriented, detour around the obstacle by moving at right angles for equal distances. This is called the "box" method.

105.5 Discuss the information found on a Time-Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD)
In the creation of an Operation Plan or OPLAN, one of the most time consuming and critical aspects of plan development is constructing the Time Phase Force Deployment Data. A TPFDD is the computer supported database portion of an operation plan dealing with logistics of force deployment, the movement of forces, and equipment required to execute the OPLAN. Basically a file that says how a force such as a Cargo Handling Battalion, a Coastal Warfare Squadron, or Riverine Group deploys or mobilizes, how many people go with them, what equipment they bring, what equipment they need, where they get the equipment, what the cost of the troop movement is expected to be, where they are ultimately going, and how they are going to get there.
103.1 Discuss the conditions that led to the formation of the US Navy.
In the midst of the conflict that would eventually lead to the 13 colonies declaring their independence from Great Britain, in 1775 the 2nd Continental Congress felt forced to act as a provisional government to the colonies. They issued money, established a postal service, adn created the Continental Navy. On 13 October 1775 the Continental Congress voted to outfit 2 sailing vessels armed with ten carrieage guns, swivel guns, and manned by crews of 80 and to send them out on a 3 month cruise to intercept British Ships carrying supplies to the British soldiers in America.

105.3 Discuss the Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) Operations
The MPF Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) can directly support our national maritime strategy of protecting key naval chokepoints and sea lines of communications (SLOCs). The purpose of MPF operations is to rapidly establish a MAGTF ashore so that it is prepared to conduct subsequent operations ranging from humanitarian to all levels of armed conflict. MPF operations are economy-of-force measures that provide the combatant commander with deployment flexibility and an increased capability to respond rapidly to the crisis with a credible force. In addition, MPF operations offer an augmentation capability to forward deployed MAGTFs, ongoing amphibious operations, or other joint, multi-national, or combined operations. The essential contribution of an MPF operation is it's mobility and flexibility, allowing quick concentration of forces in a specific area. Two basic types of MPF operations are: (1) Independent- The MPF MAGTF becomes part of a JTF that involves no other Marine Corps forces or supports an ally as a JTF force. (2) Augmentation- The transfer of forces to the operational control of a supported commander during the execution of an operation. The MPF MAGTF supports an existing Marine Corps Force (MARFOR) or AF.
106.4 Discuss the following terms as they relate to Command and Control: b. Process
The Process of Command and Control translates ideas into action, enabling the commander to coordinate actions of his forces in his battlespace. It is a continuous, cyclical process called the "decision and execution cycle", also called the OODA loop- (1) Observe (2) Orient (3) Decide (4) Act. *First, the commander observes the environment to collect data about his surroundings and the status of enemy/friendly forces. *Second, the commander orients himself by forming a mental picture by converting sensor data and other information into estimates, assumptions or judgements about what is happening. *Third, based on this mental picture, he then decides on a course of action and plans the execution. *Finally, he issues orders and puts his plan into action. During the cycle, the commander monitors the situation and execution of the operation and begins the cycle again. The commander strives to build, validate, update and disseminate his image of the battlespace and plans for future operations while conducting current operations.
101.6 Explain the maintenance and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
The last line of defense and least effective metthod of personnel from hazards in the workplace. However, PPE can significantly lessen the impact of a mishap. If imprperly maintained or used, PPE can become ineffective. Any equipment failure breakdown, or misuse can immediately exspose the worker to the hazard.
105.2 State the types of Air Mobility Command (AMC) organic aircraft and their primary use and mission.
The mission is to provide rapid, global mobility and sustainment for America's armed forces & also plays a crucial role in providing humanitarian support all over the world. In addition to below, other operational support aircraft include the VC-25, C-9, C-20, C-21, C-32, C-37, C-40, and UH-1. C-5 Galaxy- Primary mission is inter-theater strategic airlift of outsize cargo to main-theater staging bases. KC-10 Extender- Primary mission is aerial re-fueling however it can also provide cargo or personnel transport to overseas deployments.

101.3 Explain the functions of the Safety Councils and Commeittees.
The overal goal of the committes is to lead initiatives to reduce mishaps and the associated costs to the Navy & Marine Corps; new or revised policies may develope from their recommendations.
108.5 Discuss the military aspects of terrain as it applies to a defensive force using KOCOA.
To read the "writing on the ground," you can organize the analysis of weather and terrain primarily around the following set of military considerations (KOCOA): Key Terrain, Observation and Fields of Fire, Concealment and Cover, Obstacles to Movement, Avenues of Approach. Key terrain features must be considered in formulating defensive tactics. Their selection is based on the mission of the command. Tactical use of terrain often is directed at increasing the ability to apply combat power. The selection of key terrain varies with the following: Level of command, Type of Unit, and Mission of the Unit. Observation and fields of fire are so closely related that they are considered together. Fields are based on observation because a target must be seen to bring effective fire upon it. Observation considerations are: Weather conditions, Time of day, Vegetation, Surrounding terrain. Cover and concealment is used together to provide protection from the effects of fire and observation. Cover ideas are: Rocks, Shell craters, Ditches, Buildings, Caves, Sunken roads, River banks, Walls, Folds in the ground, and Highway fills. Concealment is protection from observation or surveillance on both air and ground. Concealment ideas are : Woods, Underbrush, Snowdrifts, Tall grass, and Cultivated Vegetation. Obstacles are anything, including a natural or artificial terrain feature, that stops, impedes, or diverts military movement. Entanglements are set up as obstacles along the FEBA or the defensive perimeter to channel the enemy into the beaten zone of various weapons held by the defending unit. Avenues of approach are routes the enemy is likely to travel to reach its objective. When setting up the defense positions, the platoon commander visualizes all possible enemy avenues of approach into the area.
108.7 Utilizing BAMCIS, describe the planning process for issuing a five-paragraph order.
Troop-leading steps (BAMCIS) are simply a tool, which aids leaders in formulating initial plans and time schedules upon receipt of a mission. *Begin Planning - The receipt of a mission triggers the entire BAMCIS cycle; however, tactical planning is anticipatory and continuous. To make effective use of available time, the leader issues a warning order to his or her subordinates. *Arrange for Reconnaissance - Initially the unit leader asks, "What information am I lacking?" If possible, the unit leader arranges for a physical reconnaissance of his or her Objective, Route, and Defensive position. *Make Reconnaissance - The commander now acts to answer his/her questions. The recon will either confirm the plan or cause him or her to adjust it. *Complete the Plan - After updating his or her estimate of the situation (METT-T) with information gained during the reconnaissance, the leader decides how to accomplish the mission and completes the operation order. *Issue the Order - The leader issues the order orally to subordinate leaders. *Supervise - The leader ensures that his or her plan is adhered to by listening to subordinate leaders as they issue orders as well as inspecting Marines / Sailors and their equipment and observing Marines / Sailors as they conduct rehearsals. The leader also ensures adherence to any established time line. If any changes to the original plan are required, due to recent changes in the situation, the commander must adjust the plan accordingly.
106.8 What is meant by the term Two-Person Integrity (TPI)?
Two-person integrity (TPI) is the security measure taken to prevent single-person access to COMSEC keying material and cryptographic maintenance manuals. At no time can one person have in his or her possession the combinations or keys to gain lone access to a security container or cryptographic equipment containing COMSEC material. Neither can one person have sole possession of COMSEC material that requires TPI security.
105.4 Describe the purpose of shipper declaration of dangerous goods.
Units often overlook the requirements in packing and packaging of hazardous cargo. All units use and often embark with HAZMAT like explosives, flammable liquids or solids, oxidizers, corrosive materials, compressed gases, poisons, irritating materials, NBC testing and neutralizing substances, commercial lantern fuel, cleaning agents, lithium batteries, radio-active materials, or other regulated materials. Units will review supplies and equipment on hand, those planned for embarkation, and identify those known to be HAZMAT. All items identified will have the proper HAZMAT ID labels placed on 3 sides of the container. The ID label is used to assign the stowage location on the transport. Units are required to have available MCO P4030.19H (Preparing Hazardous Materials for Military Air Shipments). In addition, DD Form 1387-2 must be completed for all cargo and equipment identified with special characteristics and handling requirements.
108.4 State what actions to be taken if you are caught in the light of a ground flare or overhead flare.
When you are caught in the open by an overhead flare, you should immediately hit the deck since the burst of light is temporarily blinding to the enemy also, there is a chance that you may not have been seen. If you hear the flare being fired, try to get down before it bursts. Resume movement as soon as the flare burns out. When you are caught in the light of a ground flare, move out of the area of light as quickly and quietly as possible. Keep moving until you are well away from the area; then reorient yourself and continue on. If caught by a flare when crossing an obstacle, such as barbed wire, crouch low and remain motionless until the flare burns out. When assaulting a position and a flare bursts, continuing your assault is imperative.

However they can contribute to a wider territorial area of control in support of other forces. e. Types- (1) Assault - (a) to establish control of the water lines in a geographical area including the water LOCs, (b) to establish control of land areas and/or population & resources, (c) to locate and destroy hostile forces, installations and supplies (d) to establish and secure the area for a combat support base as needed. (2) Surveillance, Interdiction & Security - (a) protection of friendly LOCs, (b) denying the use of the waterways by the hostile forces (c) collection of intelligence (d) performing security missions (e) enforcing population and resource control. f. Supporting Operations-At request of Riverine Force Commander and directed by higher authority to support operations outside the MRF area to include: (1) deception operations (2) Isolation of area operations (3) air, ground or naval supremacy (4) Securing of information (5) Psychological or unconventional operations.
108.3 Explain the general rules of camouflage and how they apply to: a. Fighting Position
a. Fighting Position- Before constructing your position, study the terrain and vegetation in the area so after your position is completed, by the use of camouflage, you are able to restore the area as near as possible to its original appearance. Do not use more material than you need. Too much camouflage can reveal a position as quickly as too little camouflage. Obtain natural material from a wide area. When you strip a small adjacent area of foliage, the stripped area gives the position away. Always conceal excavated soil by covering it with leaves or grass or by dumping it under bushes, into streams, or into ravines. After camouflaging, inspect the position carefully from the viewpoint of the enemy. Check it repeatedly to ensure that it remains natural in appearance and continues to conceal the position. Finally, practice CAMOUFLAGE DISCIPLINE. Avoid doing anything, such as scattering cans or boxes around the camouflaged position, that may give the position away. When possible, use old, established paths to and from your position Do not create new paths that can be seen from the air. Vary the route to and from the position so there is no beaten path into the position.
106.11 Discuss the following with respect to radio communication frequencies: a. HF b. VHF c, UHF
a. HF- High Frequency, 3 MHz - 30 MHz. b. VHF- Very High Frequency, 30 MHz - 300 MHz. Frequencies in this range are not normally refracted by the atmosphere and ground-wave range is minimal. The normal limits of use for this frequency range are line of sight. This characteristic is ideal for amphibious operations. c. UHF- Ultra High Frequency, 300 MHz - 3 GHz. This frequency range is known as line of sight transmission bands. This is well suited for tactical voice transmissions between ships travelling and maneuvering together.
108.2 Describe the construction and the elements of the following dug-in emplacements: a. Hasty/skirmisher's Position b. Improved One-man Fighting Position c. Improved Two-man Fighting Position
a. Hasty/skirmisher's Position- This shallow pit type of emplacement provides a temporary, open, prone firing position for the individual rifleman. With his entrenching tool, he scrapes and piles the soil in a low parapet between him and the enemy. Thus a shallow, body-length pit can be formed quickly in all but the hardest ground. In a skirmisher's trench, a man presents a low silhouette to the enemy and is afforded some protection from small-arms fire. b. Improved One-man Fighting Position- It is made as small as possible to present the smallest target to the enemy, but wide enough to accommodate a man's shoulders, and deep enough to use entrenching tools at the bottom. A sump should be built below the firing step, at one end, to catch rainwater. The firing step should be deep enough to protect most of a man's body while firing. A circular grenade sump, large enough to accept the largest known enemy grenade, is sloped downward at an angle of 30 degrees and is excavated under the fire step. Hand grenades thrown into the fighting hole are exploded in this sump, and their fragmentation is restricted to the unoccupied end of the fighting hole. The soil from the hole is used to build a parapet. The edge of the hole is used for an elbow rest while firing. Be sure to camouflage the soil used for your parapet to avoid detection. c. Improved Two-man Fighting Position- It is essentially two 1-man fighting holes. The two-man fighting hole provides some advantages over the one-man fighting hole. By being in such close proximity, each man gains a feeling of more security, and it allows one man to rest while the other man is observing the area. One disadvantage is since it is longer than a one-man hole, it provides less protection from tanks, bombing, strafing, and shelling.

The attendant makes sure that ESA forms are properly routed and that outstanding ESAs are completed within the required deadlines. All facility history jackets are maintained at the trouble desk. b. Four Priority Work Classifications- Priority assignment of jobs is essential in deciding the importance of each job in relation to the other requirements. Manpower and funding limitations may not allow the PWD to do all the necessary and desired work at the time of identification. With a priority classification system you can get the most use from your resources. Assigning a priority designator provides you with an adequate definition of the importance of each job. The matrix shown below contains the work classifications of: Safety- Work required primarily for safety concerns Function- Work primarily identified with the mission of the activity. Preventative- Work required to prevent significant deterioration of the plant property or equipment caused by continued use or from natural forces. Appearance- Work done for preserving or upgrading the appearance of a facility. c. Operator inspection- These inspections consist of examining, lubricating, and making minor adjustments. This is another form of PM for constantly attended equipment, but they are performed by the operator assigned to the equipment as part of the day-to-day responsibilities.

108.3 Explain the general rules of camouflage and how they apply to: b. Personal Equipment
b. Personal Equipment- The color of field uniforms and web equipment pack, belt, and canteen cover blends well with most terrain unless the equipment is badly faded. If it is faded, color it to blend with the surrounding terrain. When no paint is available, use mud, charcoal, or crushed grass. Color in bold, irregular patterns. Alter the distinctive outline of your helmet with a cover of cloth or burlap colored to blend with the terrain. Let foliage stick over the edges, but do not use too much of it. Use a camouflage band, string, burlap strips, or rubber bands to hold the foliage in place. Use mud or dirt to dull shiny surfaces of weapons, being careful not to foul working parts.
106.5 Discuss the following terms as they relate to Naval intelligence: b. Support to Operating Forces

108.3 Explain the general rules of camouflage and how they apply to: c. Individual
c. Individua - Exposed skin-even dark skin-reflects light. To prevent this, you should use camouflage face paint sticks. They are issued and used in a two-color combination. Paint the shiny areas (forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, exposed skin on the back of your neck and your hands and wrists) with the darker color. Paint the shadow areas (around the eyes and under the nose and chin) with the lighter color. When face paint is not available, burnt cork, charcoal, or lampblack may be used. Mud should be used only when nothing else is available. Mud changes color as it dries, and when dry, it may flake off and leave exposed skin. Also, mud may contain harmful bacteria and should be used only on approval of a medical officer.

It is the process starting with the requirements need all the way through the dissemination of the final product to the users. The 5 steps include (1) Planning & Direction (2) Collection (3) Processing (4) Production and (5) Dissemination.
108.3 Explain the general rules of camouflage and how they apply to: d. Vehicles
d. Vehicles- The aim should be to occupy a position without altering its appearance. To do this, you should park the vehicle under natural cover whenever available. When cover is inadequate, the vehicles should be parked so their shape will disappear into the surroundings. Better concealment can be obtained by using natural rather than artificial material to breakup the shape and shadow of the vehicles. This type of material is always available near a parking site or motor pool and can be erected and removed quickly. When cut foliage is used, be sure it is put up as it was growing because the underside of the leaves is much lighter than the topside, and the difference in color could give your position away. In addition, cut foliage should be replaced as soon as it starts to wither. The principal artificial materials used to conceal vehicles are drape nets. They are easy to use, quickly erected, and quickly removed. Drape nets give complete concealment against direct observation, but, as with most artificial camouflage materials, they can frequently be detected by photographic observation because they often fail to blend with the background properly. In any case, drapes do conceal the identity of a vehicle, even though the drape net itself may be detected.
108.3 Explain the general rules of camouflage and how they apply to: e. Buildings
e. Buildings- The basic methods of concealment-blending, hiding, and deceiving-can be applied either to existing buildings or new construction. However, concealment is much easier when the camouflage scheme is incorporated into the designs for new construction and site selection. Buildings can be concealed by screens of garnished nettings. Another method is to have disruptive patterns painted over the netting, roof, and gable-end walls. Where concealment from close observation is required, the netting should be sloped gradually to the ground. For structures with roofs steeper than 30 degrees, the netting must cover the whole building. When the terrain permits, a new structure can be partially dug-in to reduce the height and its shadows. The nature and size of buildings can be disguised in many ways, such as the following: Placing trees between the buildings Painting the roofs to match the surrounding terrain Varying roof lines with wooden framework, then covering them with burlap or fine-mesh wire netting to simulate sloping hip roofs Erecting superstructures over existing buildings and covering them with burlap, plastic, or other material to alter their appearance so they resemble the surrounding native buildings
104.1 Discuss the following personnel including roles and responsibilities in the chain of command: e. Force master Chief
e. Force Master Chief-
106.5 Discuss the following terms as they relate to Naval intelligence: e. Support for Expeditionary Forces
e. Support for Expeditionary Forces- Intelligence requirements in littoral regions are significantly different from those of open ocean operations. Our proximity to littoral threats will mean less warning and reaction time for friendly forces. Consequently naval intelligence must maintain detailed databases on potential threats and develop methods to exploit each adversary's weaknesses. Identifying those areas where military operations may be conducted is vital. Detailed information on the environment and local infrastructure will be required to support the full range of expeditionary operations. Non-traditional intelligence sources, collection means and dissemination methods must be explored and employed. Forward deployed expeditionary forces must incorporate medical intelligence as a force protection measure. The naval command and control architecture must ensure connectivity between naval forces afloat and ashore, and must be useable by the warfighter.
104.1 Discuss the following personnel including roles and responsibilities in the chain of command: f. CNO Directed Command Master Chief (CNOCM)
f. CNOCM-
108.3 Explain the general rules of camouflage and how they apply to: f. Supply Points
f. Supply Points- The main problem here is that huge amounts of equipment and supplies of all kinds are usually brought up at the same time. They must be unloaded and concealed quickly and yet be easily accessible for redistribution. Therefore, natural cover and concealment must be used at supply points whenever possible. Dispersal of these supplies is a must to minimize damage from a single attack. Existing overhead cover should be used when new access roads are planned. When the supply point is to be permanent, the tracks running in and out of the installation can be concealed by overhead nets slung between trees. Traffic control should include measures to conceal activity and movement at, to, and from the installation. When natural cover is sparse or nonexistent, be sure the natural terrain features are used to advantage. Maintain camouflage discipline at supply points including a minimum of changes in the appearance of the terrain. Control the debris so it does not accumulate and attract enemy attention.
104.1 Discuss the following personnel including roles and responsibilities in the chain of command: g. Commanding Officer
g. CO- Has absolute responsibility safety, well-being & efficiency of his/her command.
108.3 Explain the general rules of camouflage and how they apply to: g. Water points
g. Water Points- Water points must have adequate concealment, either artificial or natural, for operating personnel, storage tanks, pumping, and purification equipment. When the surrounding terrain foliage is not thick enough for perfect concealment, it can be supplemented by natural or artificial camouflage materials. To keep the enemy from observing the shine of water in the tanks, place canvas covers or natural foliage over them. By using foliage or artificial materials, you can distort their features. Small, open areas that must be crossed by vehicles or personnel operating in the area can be concealed with natural or artificial materials. A water supply schedule must be instituted and maintained. Without camouflage discipline or with a violation of the schedule, a concentration of waiting vehicles that cannot be readily concealed could occur.
104.1 Discuss the following personnel including roles and responsibilities in the chain of command: h. Executive Officer

103.6 Discuss the conditions that led to the creation of Navy Explosive Ordnance (EOD)
in 1940, volunteers worked with the British UneXploded Ordnance (UXO) teams following the initail German Blitzkrieg attacks. In June of 1941, these veterans returned home to form the 1st class of the Mine Recovery School. From 1941-45, 19 classes graduated and deployed throughout the Pacific and Mediterranean theaters. They were later divided into Mobile Explosive Investigative Units (MEIU). and were instrumental in clearance of explosive hazards on both land and sea. The korean conflict saw a return to action of various minesweepers to ensure the continual clearance of shipping hazards. The groups were later renamed EOD. Their primary mission is to handle, difuse, and dispose of munitions and other explosives.
