1. 9/7/2012 1 This brief is intended to provide you with an overview of the MSNAP mission, support for CARTs and then to give you a look at what is happening with the CART organization. CARTs were established following the Gulf War when lessons learned showed that there were insufficient numbers of merchant mariners to both man the RRF fleet and take on the additional responsibilities for the UNREP mission on MCDS ships. CNO N42 worked with COMNAVSURFLANT to establish a force of Selected Reserves to take on this responsibility. NAVCHAPGRU was initially tasked to provide the personnel for the units designated specifically for MSC controlled RRF ships. Expeditionary Logistics Support Force or ELSF took the job and the responsibility. MSC in 2001 took on the CARTs as part of the MSC Reserve Force.
Training was difficult since CARTS had to compete with Regular Navy for limited slots at the Treasure Island and then Little Creek Navy Schools. In 1996, MSNAP opened up a training facility at NWS Earle specifically for training CARTs. We built this school from scratch using properties provided us by the NWS and started operations in 1996.

2. 9/7/2012 2 Program Sponsor
POM Development/Submission
Program Direction CARTS FROM CNO TO AREA COMMANDS The Objective for everyone involved in the CART program is to get the CARTs to the Area Commands fully trained by Navy, MSC and MSNAP.
CNO N42 is the sponsor and besides providing direction, gives us the money. At MSC HQ, two offices interact to manage the programs.
N00R works the budget and the Reserve Affairs for CARTs as well as other MSC Reserves. Under N00R are the OSOs responsible to the Area Commands for MSC Reserves including CARTs.
PM1 as the NFAF office has responsibility for the equipment associated with MSNAP (Rigs, OHE, MHE, etc) and for the training of CARTs on UNREP operations. MSNAP trains CARTs to the Qual/Cert standards met by all CLF ships. This is all done through the MSNAP Center at NWS Earle NJ.The Objective for everyone involved in the CART program is to get the CARTs to the Area Commands fully trained by Navy, MSC and MSNAP.

3. 9/7/2012 3 How the Training Plan is Developed What is the process to arrange training:
First: OICs have requirements from MSNAP, Navy and MSC placed on them.
Working with MSNAP, OICs work out a tentative schedule for each unit.
This schedule is submitted to the OSO for review/approval.
The OSO submits the plan to N00R for funding. N00R provides funds as available to each of the CARTs.
The OSO/OICs then submit the final plan to MSNAP for formal scheduling.
This is the ideal goal and one we have to reach. Right now, MSNAP schedules classes based on what we believe is needed learned from prior years. The classes are then made available and OICs asked to fill them OICs then ask for funding form N00R/OSOs and if it is provided, schedule the classes through MSNAP. If funding is not available or sufficient personnel not assigned to atttend, the class is cancelled.

6. 9/7/2012 6 What MSNAP Provides Provide training for MCDS and MSC T-AE UNREP crews.
CART’s*
CIVMARS**
Merchant Mariners**
Provide training to others including active Navy and other Naval Reserves.
Along with the MSC Fire School, also located at NWS* Earle, provide a one-stop training site MSNAP has CART training as the top priority. Training is provided to other organizations on a not to interfere basis with CART training. CART training is conducted at Earle, exported to the Reserve Sites or Ships. Additional training is conducted at the Fire Fighting school at Earle, not under MSNAP but coordinated through MSNAP for CARTs. This gives CARTs a one-stop training site.

7. 9/7/2012 7 MSNAP trains to the Watchbill. The requirement is to provide Unit Integrity to allow for one team to board the designated ship as a team. Each position must be filled by someone qualified in that position. Then we look at cross training to allow personnel to move from one job to another, any other position. When a unit falls short of filling the Watchbill, that unit can utilize personnel from other units qualified in the required positions. This is why we standardized the training. Everyone is trained the same.MSNAP trains to the Watchbill. The requirement is to provide Unit Integrity to allow for one team to board the designated ship as a team.

specifying, procuring, long term readiness storage, refurbishment, and replacing of all support equipment (ship set equipment) required for the MSNAP/MCDS ships.
Ship set equipment includes OHE/MHE**/ Cargo restraint hardware, personnel safety gear and miscellaneous UNREP*** gear. MSNAP has custody and responsibility for over $14 million worth of equipment, for various buildings, classrooms and storage facilities. All the ancillary equipment needed for the MCDS ships and for UNREP operations are maintained by and stored at the MSNAP site or on board MCDS ships. MSNAP ensures readiness of all this equipment.
For exercises or contingencies, MSNAP ensures the equipment gets to the ships and that the equipment on the ships is working. This is done through contracts with trucking companies who pick up and deliver on schedule.

12. 9/7/2012 12 MSNAP Gets Ships and CARTs Ready Coordinate all SESI, NFAF, NAVAIR and HERO assist/inspections.
Coordinate all QUAL/CERT Records. Provide assistance to ship’s crew and CART in preparing all paperwork.
Provide technical assistance and safety evaluators for all deployments (exercises or other MCDS deployments.)
Designate CART units to participate in Exercise. Once we get the word to mobilize for either exercises or operations, MSNAP goes into action as the coordinating office for the MCDS ships. Inspections are required and MSNAP coordinates these through various offices especially the Area Commanders. MSNAP reviews all the CART records to ensure appropriate entries, formatted and ready for submission to the Ship’s Master. MSNAP completes the SOTs for each MCDS prior to deployment. This is not a difficult task since MSNAP conducts scheduled checks, repairs and maintenance on each unit quarterly.Once we get the word to mobilize for either exercises or operations, MSNAP goes into action as the coordinating office for the MCDS ships.

19. A decision was made to reduce the number of MCDS ships from 7 to 3. This indicates a simlar decrease in CART units. We have reviewed the CART units and will recommend which units to retain and which to disestablish. The basis for retention is the present manning and the status of training for each unit. Units that can meet the watch bill or get close to manning the watch bill take precedence over other units.
There is no special criteria for selecting which T-AE CARTs to retain. The units assigned to the T-AE being removed is the unit that will be disestablished.A decision was made to reduce the number of MCDS ships from 7 to 3.

I’ve listed the status of each unit describing how many personnel are deployable from that unit. In unit A-401 for instance we can provide a full watchbill of 42 plus have a back up. CART B-104 can deploy 28 people with no backups CART F-501 has 46 people but only 26 are deployable. There are options and Mike Reilly will work with the RESCENS and the Units to get people cross assigned to remaining units if they so desire. This displays the latest manning situation.

25. 9/7/2012 25 Proposal for a Support CART Lessons learned from OEF/OIF:
Officer Support required for MSNAP HQ
ROLMS Admin not provided for MCDS by DARTs
PSD Support required to handle influx of CART reservists on short notice. Lessons learned following OIF/OEF showed us some areas where we could have used support or where support was provided and proven successful:
We needed a Deputy with high enough rank to work with other Navy Offices
We needed dedicated ROLMS support rather than part time from CART members with other duties.
We needed assistance to help mobilize CARTs at the Personnel Support Detachment.Lessons learned following OIF/OEF showed us some areas where we could have used support or where support was provided and proven successful:

26. 9/7/2012 26 Officer Support MSNAP HQ was being managed by GS13 Director and had 21 support personnel civilian contractors
Management/Coordination of CART mobilization and operations required full time O6/O5 support.
Position assigned as Deputy to the Director for CARTs
Served as liaison with Fleet Commanders, Area Commands, and Reserve Commands.
One O6/O5 SELRES Naval Officer The Director was concerned with ensuring any last minute training was provided, that records were correct, that inspections and Qual/Cert requirements were met and much more.
N00R provided us with assist from Capt Vickers, a former CART OIC on the West Coast who assisted the Director at Earle to coordinate CART operations and liase with other commands to get the CARTs on station and provide support while deployed. MSNAP is geared towards training and not resolving day to day operational issues. Capt Vickers provided invaluable assist to MSNAP.The Director was concerned with ensuring any last minute training was provided, that records were correct, that inspections and Qual/Cert requirements were met and much more.

Contractor support, not previously funded presently utilized for load/offload ROLMS admin.
2 Enlisted specially trained in ROLMS assigned to each CAPE G and CAPE J for ROLMS: Total: 6/8 Enlisted We had to use our Contactor to do ROLMs which required a mod to the MSNAP contract. This meant long hours away from the classroom to complete the ROLMS for returning MCDS ships. With ROLMS personnel handling the system real time, the need for extra help goes away. Existing CART members have other tasks to do and ROLMs becomes a collateral duty. We had to use our Contactor to do ROLMs which required a mod to the MSNAP contract.

Reservists to be trained in Admin functions: pay records, travel orders, etc required.
2 Enlisted for each CAPE G and CAPE J, PNs or YNs training with CARTs and familiar with CART responsibilities: Total 6/8 Enlisted We found that PSD was unable to handle the check in procedures for the CARTs due to the large number being mobilized at once in addition to the other MSC reserves. A need for personnel familiar with CARTs, who work with CARTs and who know what CARTs require was evident. The PSD Support people can train at the PSD offices for reserve duty as well as with their CARTs. These personnel will know the people being mobilized for deployment when they arrive and will know what the requirements are.We found that PSD was unable to handle the check in procedures for the CARTs due to the large number being mobilized at once in addition to the other MSC reserves.

This unit will serve as relief for a deployed unit if tours are extended or to fill in gaps brought about by various reasons. This will let us keep an additional 54 personnel. We will propose this to CNO and see what happens. The bottom line is we are losing personnel. We are working with N00R to retain one more unit as a sort of “Reserve” reserve unit.
