PERSONNEL READINESS CAPABILITY PROGRAM

The Personnel Readiness Capability Program (PROP) was developed for use within the Naval Construction Force (NCF). The PROP is based upon skill inventories of personnel and provides personnel

information to all levels of management within the NCF. `Ibis increases the ability of management to control, to plan, and to make decisions concerning the readiness of each unit. The PROP is also used to identify the rating skills required and to determine the formal training and individual skills required by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. Figure 1-5 is an example of a PROP.

NAVFAC P-458

Guidance for the PROP has been published in a one volume publication, NAVFAC P-458, to ease its use by staff' personnel and PROP interviewers. The PROP contains standard skill definitions applicable to the NCF, Standards and Guides, that consist of seven separate manuals (one for each Seabee rating), and is the primary tool of the interviewer in collecting and updating data.

SKILL INVENTORIES

An accurate and current skill inventory is the backbone of PROP. Without this information, any planning done would be questionable. The PROP is

the management tool used to determine the readiness of the unit and identify skill deficiencies in which the troops must be trained. It is used with the requirements established by the Commander, Second Naval Construction Brigade (COMSECONDNCB), and Commander, Third Naval Construction Brigade (COMTHIRDNCB), which are issued in their joint instruction COMSECOND/COMTHIRDNCBINST 1500.1 (series). This instruction identifies and defines the skills required to meet peacetime and contingency operations and specifies the required number of personnel that must be trained in each skill.

NOTE: A "skill" is a specific art or trade. For PROP purposes, skills are described as either a "manipulative" or "knowledge" skill.
