cedures  and  applications  should  be  a  major  part  of combat/weapons   systems   training. WATCHES As  an  FC  supervisor,  you  maybe  in  charge  of  the inport   and   underway   watches.   These   watches   are briefly  discussed  in  the  following  paragraphs: Inport Watches: The leading FC of each watch section is designated as the duty Fire Controlman and is  directly  responsible  for  the  handling  of  all  equip- ment casualties that may occur outside normal work- ing  hours.  All  technicians  who  are  aboard,  even though they may rate liberty, are considered to be on duty  and  may  be  called  on  by  the  duty  Fire  Control- man at any time to assist in handling any equipment repair. Underway   Watches:   The   leading   FC   makes up  the  underway  watch  list,  which  is  then  approved by the CSO/weapons officer and posted in the division spaces  or  combat  systems  spaces.  All  watches  are stood according to this watch list and watch-standing instructions.  A  Fire  Controlman  on  watch  should  not leave his assigned space except to handle a casualty, to  supervise  preventive  maintenance,  or  to  make  in- spections or tests. Note that the only reading materials authorized for use during underway watches are tech- nical publications, manuals, and instruction books per- taining  to  some  phase  of  combat  systems. PERSONNEL  MANNING Personnel manning is a prime concern of the CSO/ weapons  officer.  However,  you  will  more  than  likely be involved with personnel manning within your divi- sion. A division must have the correct manning levels to  fiction  properly  and  to  fill  the  needs  of  equipment maintenance  and  other  shipboard  functions,  such  as general  quarters  watch  stations. Manpower  requirements  are  normally  accounted for   by   the   Navy   Manpower   Requirements   System (NMRS).   The   following   subsections   give   a   general background in Navy manning and the personnel tools with which to work, including the ship manning docu- ment,  the  manpower  authorization,  and  the  enlisted distribution  and  verification  report. Ship  Manning  Document The main function of the ship manning document (SMD)  and  the  preliminary  ship  manning  document (PSMD)  is  to  document  manpower  requirements.  To effectively manage personnel, the Navy needs an accu- rate identification of ship manning requirements. This is  documented  on  the  SMD  and  the  PSMD  in  terms of the quantity and quality of personnel (skills, expe- rience,  specialized  training)  that  are  required  to  per- form mission requirements as specified in the required operational  capability  (ROC),  submarine  required  op- erational  capability  (SUBROC),  and  projected  opera- tional  environment  (POE)  statements. An  ROC  statement  lists  all  required  operational capabilities  for  a  class  of  ships,  a  type  of  aircraft squadron,  or  other  unit  as  assigned  by  the  Chief  of Naval   Operations   (CNO).   Examples   of   ROC   and SUBROC  statements  are  shown  in  the  following  box: ROC: 1.  Engage  submarines  with  antisub- marine  armament. 2.  Engage  airborne  threats  using  sur- face-to-air   armament, SUBROC:   1.   Attack   with   torpedoes. 2.  Engage  airborne  threats  using  in- stalled  antiair  (AA)  weapons. A POE statement lists the most-demanding condi- tions  (wartime  or  peacetime)  of  operation  for  which a unit must be manned, as shown in the following ex- ample: At sea in wartime, capable of performing all offen- sive   and   defensive   fictions   simultaneously   while in  Readiness  Condition  I;  capable  of  performing other  functions  that  are  not  required  to  be  accom- plished   simultaneously. 2-3
