3.4.3. Amphibious Raids Branch (ARB) Support

The ARB is comprised of Marines from the infantry occupational field. They may be required to operate support/safety craft from shore to up to 30 nautical miles out in support of EOTG amphibious courses, and III MEF OAIs. Generally, these Marines have little to no small craft experience. They will require basic operator training and follow-on multi small craft leadership training provided principally by the contractor.

3.4.4. Safety/Support Craft Operational Training Support

Between 4-8 students once per quarter*. The contractor, in consultation with appropriate EOTG subject matter experts, will provide the following training to the Marines assigned to EOTG or as directed by EOTG OIC:

- Operator Training (twin engine safety/support craft and personal water craft)

• New Equipment Training (NET) on one of the following: 7m RHIB, 8m RHIB, 31’

Patrol Boat, 31’ OWSC, 34’ AASB, or Sea Doo GTX 170 personal water craft.

• Boat Nomenclature and terminology

• LTI’s and Pre / Post Operational Checks

• Tie required knots, hitches, bends, and mooring systems.

• Types of seas and adverse local weather

• Float Plans

• Crew Responsibilities

• Mooring safety craft

• Anchoring

• Towing (hasty, short, and long)

• Asymmetric propulsion

• Use of navigational equipment

• Use of RADAR

• Man over Board (MOB)

• Casualty Evacuation (CASEVAC)

• Safety Swimmer Employment

• Search and Recovery

• Launch and Recovery

• Refueling

• Right a capsized personal water craft

- Leadership Training

• Location and limitations of Marine Corps Installation Pacific (MCIPAC) Water Surface Areas (WSA) and associated training areas.

• Leading a multi craft evolutions in the area of operations.

• Brown/Blue water CASEVAC.

• Ship to helicopter patient transfer via hoisting.

• Leading a multi craft evolution Over the Horizon (OTH), greater than 30nm from shore.

• Supporting Visit Board Search and Seizure training.

• Supporting ParaOps (deliberate landing zone and deliberate water landing operations).

• Supporting the 31st MEU’s Certification Exercise (CERTEX), Realistic Urban

Training Exercise (RUTEX), and other exercises as required by the EOTG OIC.

* Due to EOTG’s high operational tempo and unique Training, Exercise, and Evaluation Plan (TEEP) one quarter may require more on-water training than another quarter. Once students have demonstrated mastery, the contractor will provide training packages to EOTG leadership for the students to be licensed as operators.

3.4.5. III MEF Personnel

When directed by the EOTG OIC, provide any training from paragraph 3.4 to III MEF personnel not assigned to EOTG. This includes III MEF units and exercises off Okinawa to include but not limited to Hawaii, Australia and Guam.

3.5. Movement of Oversize and Overweight Equipment

Some of the safety craft within the III MEF Boathouse are considered oversized and overweight when towed on Japanese roads. There are certain safety standards and procedures required when towing this equipment (i.e. , lead and follow vehicle, and restricted towing times). At a minimum the contractor will provide:

- One vehicle and experienced personnel to lead the oversize and overweight safety craft to its destination on the previously approved route.

- Recovery equipment to anticipate tow vehicle or trailer issues.

- Advise EOTG during route brief to all personnel in convoy.

3.6. Open Water Safety/Support Craft Operator Support

Within III MEF’s AOR a significant amount of training is conducted on or near water that is greater than chest deep. These operations and training evolutions require on water safety craft. III MEF EOTG is not trained or manned at an appropriate level to support all of III MEF’s on water safety requirements. Therefore, III MEF has historically relied upon contracted boat captains who are experienced in operating small craft in waters surrounding Okinawa to provide this required support. At a minimum the contractor will provide the following:

3.6.1. Japanese 1st Class Boat Captains (With personal water craft endorsement) The contractor shall maintain a Japan Marine Recreation Association (JMRA) First Class Boat Operators License (20 ton up to 100 NM off shore) and the ability to train and certify uniformed First Class and below operators.

3.6.2 English Language Proficiency (applies to contract maintenance and craft operator personnel) All boat captains (craft operators) are required to be English speakers. Native English speakers and/or English as a Second Language (ESL) with LPL 4 (definitions below) are required because highly technical information will be passed over radio communication at a moment’s notice, and nothing can be lost in translation. Additionally, all contractor provided personnel (both maintenance only and craft operators) must be able to read, write, and speak English.

LPL TOEIC ALCPT TOEFL CASEC EIKEN PBT CBT iBT 4 (Exceptional) 860-990 N/A 600- 250- 100- N/A 1st

Note 1: The contractor must provide certification with their technical proposal that all personnel for whom English is not the first language have an LPL 4. All reference material (i.e. , technical manuals, operator manuals, nautical charts, and equipment user interfaces are all in English. All maintenance and operator training will be conducted in English. All communication between small craft on the water is via maritime radios and is conducted in English. Lack of proficiency and clarity will have a negative impact on contractor performance and safety.
