3. The CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standard
Introduction – Building Block Approach
The overall training objective of Naval Air Force units is to achieve the highest level of training attainable with the resources available. To execute this training strategy, Naval Aviation relies on many interrelated components.
The CB T&R is based on the Major Combatant Operations (MCO) standard

4. Data Management – SHARP
SHARP V5.1
Single data capture tool for squadron training
Only data source to feed the DRRS-N T Pillar for squadrons and detachments
Reports module provides current training status and analysis for readiness reporting

5. Data Management – ADW
The Aviation Data Warehouse is the centralized data store for all SHARP, AMSRR, and CV SHARP data
ADW houses the metrics and algorithms used to calculate the Training Figure of Merit (TFOM) used in DRRS-N to describe the training capability of a Mission Essential Task (MET)

6. Policy Overview
“ These matrices are designed to quantify proficiency in the skills required to
execute the Navy Mission Essential Tasks (NMETs) listed in each community’s Navy
Mission Essential Task List (NMETL). The matrices are also linked to tasks in the
Required Operational Capabilities and Projected Operating Environment
(ROC/POE) instructions”
The policy is called the CNAF D (CB T&R)

9. Matrix Concept – Overview
The CB T&R Matrix will cover an entire FRTP cycle with direct links to Flight Hour funding for each R+ month. Readiness output is incremental and directly associated with Flight Hours and major FRTP events.
Each matrix includes:
Task List
Simulator Contribution Section
Task to Skill Matrix (with periodicities)
Skills List
Squadron/Detachment
Requirements Section
NMETLs
Resource Summary Page
FRS Baseline
ACTC Mapping Page

10. Matrix Concept – IARS-SRS/DRS
Each Matrix is comprised of two
elements that contribute to NTA
readiness.
IARS (Individual Aircrew Requirements Section) - Defines the skills required to form skilled crews (Pf)
SRS/DRS (Squadron/Detachment Requirements Section) - Defines the squadron experience level (Ef)
SRS/
DRS
IARS

11. Matrix Concept – IARS
The skills in the IARS are divided into the Production section and Sustainment
sub-section.
All Production skills must be completed prior to Deployment due to resource limitations while on deployment
Sustainment skills are those critical skills required while on Deployment
Production and Sustainment skills are based on real-world resource requirements and limitations
Once in the employability window, units will focus on Sustainment skills but may still obtain readiness through “Production Only” skills
Select the highlighted graphic area to see a larger view

12. Matrix Concept – SRS/DRS
The Squadron Requirements Section is based on the major events within the FRTP
as well as special qualifications.
As a minimum, the SRS shall contain
ACTC levels
CVW Fallon (CVW squadrons only)
COMPTUEX (CVW squadrons only)
ARP (if applicable to the community)
Training Ordnance, High Training Value Ordnance, or End-to-End Ordnance
Select the highlighted graphic area to see a larger view

13. Matrix Concept – Tasks
Tasks are the flight events that appear on the daily flight schedule
Select the highlighted area of the graphic for a larger view
For illustration only - this is not a complete matrix

14. Matrix Concept – Task Events/Periodicities
As tasks are performed, skills are achieved over a given periodicity
Select the highlighted area of the graphic for a larger view
For illustration only - this is not a complete matrix

15. Matrix Concept – Simulators
Credit is based on the number of Optional (O) or Required (R) tasks that shall be accomplished in a simulator (SIM) within a skills periodicity
Simulators are a mandatory part of the T&R matrix
Simulator contribution is determined by the Type Wing as the number of skills that can be accomplished in a simulator

16. Matrix Concept – Simulators
The number of Os and Rs that shall be accomplished in a simulator is listed at the bottom of the skills matrix O = Optional
R = Required
Select the highlighted area of the graphic for a larger view
For illustration only - this is not a complete matrix

17. Matrix Concept – Skills
As skills are accumulated, skilled crews are formed (Pf)
Skilled Crews are half the equation
Select the highlighted area of the graphic for a larger view
For illustration only - this is not a complete matrix

18. Matrix Concept – SRS/DRS
Completed squadron level requirements equate to the units Experience factor;
Ef = 100 x (SRS Items Completed/SRS Items Required)
Select the highlighted area of the graphic for a larger view
For illustration only - this is not a complete matrix

19. Matrix Concept – Training NTAs
TFOM = (Skilled Crews (Pf) x Experience (Ef))/100; for each training NTA in the T/M/S METL
Select the highlighted area of the graphic for a larger view
For illustration only - this is not a complete matrix

20. Matrix Concept – Ordnance
Ordnance is divided into three categories based on the contribution of that
weapon to readiness.
Training Ordnance (TO)
Weapons expended in an FRTP by a unit’s COB active crew members, divided by the number of COB crew members
High Training Value Ordnance (HTV)
Number of crews that have expended an HTV weapon within an FRTP
End-to-End Ordnance (E2E)
The whole number required per squadron, per FRTP
View Ordnance by Category

21. Matrix Concept – Ordnance/Business Rules
TO and HTV tied to the aircrew who expended the ordnance.
Each TMS decided who gets credit within the crew
E2E tied to the squadron regardless of who expended them
In all cases, crews can transfer ordnance qualifications between squadrons but not expenditures
Detachment-based squadrons may transfer ordnance between detachments for ordnance expended in the same FRTP
All FDNF Ordnance is considered E2E

22. Matrix Concept – FHP Requirements
The FHP column in the matrix prevents artificial readiness inflation without flight hour utilization.
Validates Flight Hour requirements through readiness
90 day rolling average:
CO flexibility
Events-based scheduling
Target Value:
90 day rolling average of Flight Hour entitlement (T&R hours only)
Measurement Value:
90 day rolling average of all hours executed (T&R hours + MESH)
Ramifications of execution shortfall explained in TFOM calculations
Measurement values for Flight Hour calculations include Active Crews On Board and Visitors

25. General Policy Guidelines - Key FRTP Dates
It is essential that squadrons and detachments understand the impact of the following dates since they can greatly effect the readiness calculations in SHARP. These dates are managed at the TYCOM level via the Master Aviation Plan (MAP) and, in some cases, delegated to TYPEWINGs for management.
FRTP Start Date
This the beginning of an FRTP Cycle. Normally, the FRTP date affects ordnance expenditures and other SRS/DRS items
Employability Start Date
For CVW squadrons, this is the completion of C2X or Fallon, whichever happens last
For non-CVW units, this is the completion of C2X or as defined by your TYPEWING
For all units, this date marks the crossover point between Production and Sustainment skills
Phase Transition date
Normally used by non CVW based units (VP, ETC)
Indicates the date the unit moves from Production to Sustainment

26. General Policy Guidelines – FDNF
FDNF Units include:
CVW-5
HSL-51
Due to the dynamic schedule and limited resources, FDNF units are required to maintain higher levels of readiness
Flight Hour funding is elevated to maintain higher state of readiness
All FDNF ordnance is considered End-to-End

27. General Policy Guidelines – Reserves
Reserve Units Include:
TSW Squadrons VR
VP-62 and VP-69
HSC-84, HSC-85, and HSL-60
HM-14 and HM-15 reserve components use the Active Component matrix
Same format and methodology as their Active Component counterparts
Higher periodicities due to greater experience levels

28. General Policy Guidelines - Waivers
Waivers may be requested when resources are not available or when external factors (weather, operational tasking, range availability, etc.) preclude execution of tasks in the T&R matrix
Carrier Air Wing Commanders shall initiate waiver requests for squadrons under their operational control
Type Wing Commanders shall initiate waiver requests for squadrons not attached to a CVW and all detachments under their administrative control
Waiver format example embedded within instruction
Generally, waivers are approved by CNAF N40. If resources such as Ordnance or Flight Hours are affected, the decision to approve/disapprove moves to the CNAF Chief of Staff
View a Sample Waiver Message

29. General Policy Guidelines - Reports
Units are required to transmit their SHARP training data to the Aviation Data Warehouse (ADW) at least once every 15 days using the SHARP generated Current Readiness Assessment (CRA) report
All units shall submit CRA data within 15 days of the previous CRA
Units in the FRTP cycle shall submit CRAs at the completion of major FRTP milestones (at a minimum: SFARP, ARP, Fallon, C2X, and JTFEX)
The CRA data provides the updated squadron training data that feeds the Training T Pillar in the DRRS-N automated assessment
The CRA allows COs to “QA” their squadron data before it is passed to DRRS-N
SHARP
ADW
DRRS-N
NTIMS

30. General Policy Guidelines - Reports
Units should review the Dashboard and CBR Skills report when assessing
training readiness in DRRS-N. These reports provide a comprehensive picture of
the Ef and Pf elements that make up the TFOM in DRRS-N. The CBR Skills report
also provide the basis for the CO to make comments in DRRS-N that explain which
skills are required to achieve MCO readiness levels.

32. Number of Skilled Crews
Readiness Calculations – Performance Factor (Pf)
Description Calculation
The Performance factor is calculated for units with six crews or more using the equation on the right
Units with five crews or less use fixed numbers (see table below)
Number of Skilled Crews Min of (Required Skilled Crews) or (Actual Crews) on Board
Pf =100 x
Caveat: If Ef < 100, then Pf is held at 80.
Required
Crews on Board
Number of Skilled Crews 1 2 3 4 5
100 50 33 66 25 75 20 40 60 80

33. Readiness Calculations – Experience Factor (Ef)
Description Calculation
The Experience factor is based on a unit’s ability to meet all the SRS requirements for each NTA as outlined in each T/M/S matrix
Number of SRS Items Completed
Number of SRS Items Required
Ef = 100 x
Reflects accomplishment of Aircrew and Squadron Qualifications
Numeric Value between 0 – 100
The Ef value has two possible outcomes:
If the unit completes all the SRS requirements, a maximum value of 100 is assigned
If one or more of the required SRS items is not completed, a value less than 100 is assigned

34. Readiness Calculations – Integration with DRRS-N
0 - 59
TFOM
Training NTAs are assigned a color in DRRS-N based on the TFOM calculated in ADW and NTIMS
TFOM = Pf x Ef

35. Readiness Expectations
The Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) standards are designed to incrementally prepare a unit for its full wartime readiness
During an FRTP cycle, the expectations of readiness increase progressively from “No”(Red) in the maintenance phase to “Yes”(Green) at the beginning of a unit’s employability window
The commander’s assessment is expected to change from red to yellow as the unit moves from the basic phase to the intermediate phase assuming that the unit is on track and is resourced appropriately in the FRTP
Units should strive to maintain a “Yes”(Green) throughout their employability window unless their mission forces a degrade in certain Capability Areas (single mission focus, non-wartime tasking)
Not all units follow this type of FRTP model (HM, VQ(T), VPU, and FDNF)

T Pillar
Note: Currently MOB is the only Capability Area that is intended to be green prior to the employability phase.

36. Keys to Success
Know your average flight hour funding for 90 days to know your expected level of readiness for the end of that period
You have to fly to get readiness (a GOOD thing)
Logging really matters! Especially in skills that cross multiple NTAs
Management of the SHARP Program is critical
Training Officer, AOPS
T&R and syllabus both have to factor into how your write your flight schedule
.Understand your readiness expectations
Know what your R+ months are throughout your FRTP cycle
Use the SHARP CBR skills report to explain Pf degradations in DRRS-N

[Describe the reason for the waiver (NCEA Shortfall/type ordnance). In the case of HELICOPTER ANTI-SUBMARINE SQUADRON LIGHT Detachments deploying with Non-Shooter Aircraft, the request is not an NCEA issue. The waiver should be requested against the Hellfire missile requirement of the SRS of the CB
T&R matrix. Only that portion of the SRS will be waived; all other requirements will remain in effect.]
(b) [Is the waiver required due to the lack of an external resource (range, targets, etc.), and what is the expected future availability of that resource?]
