How OPTEMPO, Crew Turnover, and Material Condition Affect the Training Readiness of Surface Combatants

Abstract

This research memorandum analyzes the probability that surface combatants, specifically frigates and destroyers, begin deployment fully combat ready in training. Full combat readiness in training is defined as C1 status in the Status of Resources and Training System. The analysis examines the relationships between deploying C1 in training and various measures of the ship's operating tempo before deployment, enlisted crew turnover, and the material condition of the ship in the months before deployment. Keywords: Crews, Deployment, Destroyers, Fleets(ships), Frigates, Manpower, Material condition, Naval personnel, Naval training, Naval vessels(combatant), Operational readiness, Regression analysis, Ship personnel, Statistical analysis.
