l l Meeting personnel inventory and skills requirements to support introduction of new systems and equipment Perform task analysis as specified by the CNO in support of new systems and aviation training requirements The Commander, Naval Air Systems Command initiates development of recommended Navy training plans for new weapons systems and components. TheChief of Naval Education and Training (CNET) provides formal training for the operating forces. It also provides necessary planning, programming, and budgeting for manpower and training resources. The Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic/Pacific (COMNAVAIRLANT/COMNAVAIRPAC) is respons- ible for the following l l Supervising, coordinating, and directing internal aviation technical and management training programs for all squadrons and units. Providing on-site training and management assistance to all Navy and Marine aviation units through the aviation maintenance management teams. The commanding officer is responsible for training personnel under his or her command. Specific organizational training is delegated to the department heads such as the suply Officer. Within a supply division, the AK1 may be assigned as the training petty officer (TPO). The TPO is the backbone of all division personnel qualification programs. The AKC is responsible for planning and directing personnel training and training junior officers in the division. TYPES OF TRAINING Training is conducted in Navy training schools or as on-the-job training at the command. Navy training schools include the AK Class A school and other related Class C schools. The AK Class A school provides the basic technical knowledge and skills required to prepare an individual for job entry level performance. The Fleet Aviation Specialized Operational Training Group (FASOTRAGRU) is under the direction of aircraft controlling custodian/type commander (ACC/ TYCOM). The FASOTRAGRU provides training to fleet personnel in courses covering aviation maintenance administration and management. Other schools include the advanced AK C school and specific training courses. An example of a specific training course is the Shipboard Uniform Automated Data Recessing System (SUADPS). The command provides in-service training to assigned personnel. The formal in-service training is conducted through lectures supported by visual aids and required reading material. The schedule of training should be published listing the lecture, time, location, attendees, subjects, and instructors. Prepare a lesson guide containing the following information: l l l l l l l l l l l Lecture number (for identification) Time (duration of the lecture) Date prepared Date reviewed (include name and grade/rank) Title (subject of the lecture) Objective (purpose of the lecture) Instructional aids (material needed for, presentation) List of references (reference material the instructor should know before conducting the lecture) Presentation (complete narrative of the lecture contents) Summary (brief review of the points covered) Question and answer period Informal training is referred to as on-the-job training (OJT), and is used to teach a specific job or part of a job to one or more individuals. In this type of training, experienced AKs should be assigned to instruct and demonstrate their skills to the less experienced. The training provided can be monitored by the effective use of a training syllabus. Another form of informal training is self-study. The Navy goes to a great deal of time and expense in developing training manuals and nonresident training courses for use by individuals in a self-study program. You, as the senior AK, should encourage subordinates to enroll in these courses to increase their supply background knowledge and permit them to improve their performance in their assigned functions.
