Radiomen Staffing Levels for the United States Coast Guard Pacific Area Communication System
Abstract
The United States Coast Guard maintains four communications stations (COMMSTAs) with the responsibility of providing communication services throughout the Pacific Ocean maritime region. A study of the functions performed at these four stations is presented, their Radiomen staffing level is determined using the current staffing standard and the workload model, and their authorized staffing level is compared. A proposal is made to create one operations facility for the Pacific Area Communication System, where the workload from the four facilities is performed under one roof. The Radiomen staffing level for the proposed facility is determined and compared to the overall staffing level of the four COMMSTAs. The results of this study is that there is a savings of personnel when the four facilities are consolidate. There are discussions qualifying the results of the study with respect to what watch positions may need additional Radiomen. There also are discussions of some potential inaccuracies when using the workload model.
