  3. Problem Statement “Build A Force by Design, Not by Default” MCPO of the Reserve Force Jeff Smith (Ret.) • USCG Reservists, and Their Leadership, Need Consistent Guiding Doctrine to: • Know what specific skills and competencies the Reserve Force should be always ready to mobilize with to support boat operations, contingency planning and response, expeditionary warfare, marine safety, port security, law enforcement and mission support • These competencies must be attained and maintained within existing IDT and ADT allocated training days

  4. CORE’s Foundation:REWG 2010 - “The Tomney Report” • Update Reserve Policy Statement • Strategic purpose for and use of the Reserve Force • Develop Concept of Employment for the Reserve Force • Establish doctrine for employment of the Reserve Force, “Bridge the Gap Between the Reserve Policy Statement and Tactical Duties” • Establishes: Strategic employment methodology, logistical support components, training concepts, and core competencies • Examine Reserve Force Size, Laydown and Structure • Align workforce structure with current/projected requirements • Contingency force size needed to reduce risks to support: Homeland Defense, Homeland Security, Disaster Operations • Implementation Plan • Develop Concept of Employment for Reserve Forces plan and implement throughout the USCG

  5. The Relationship Between The Reserve Policy Statement & CORE • 2010: Reserve Policy Statement • “ Coast Guard Reserve … exists to support Coast Guard roles of maritime homeland security, national defense (domestic and expeditionary), and domestic disaster operations.” • “Flexible, responsive operational force… Ready to mobilize at all times with critical competencies… Requires disciplined management and clear understanding of program, unit, and individual responsibilities throughout our total workforce… Commanders, commanding officers and officers-in-charge shall ensure Reservists under their authority receive appropriate training and augmentation opportunities and administrative support.” • CORE • Bridging Strategy – Between the Commandant’s Reserve Policy Statement and identifying Reserve competencies required to provide seven Reserve mission capabilities • Boat Operations, Contingency Planning & Response, Expeditionary Warfare, Marine Safety, Port Security, Law Enforcement, Mission Support

  6. CORE’s Current Focus • Working with CGHQs Program Offices: Identify Skills/Competencies Reservists Are Expected to Attain/Maintain to Meet Surge/Contingency Requirements • Provide Guidance to the Field Via a Series of ALCOASTs Primarily Jointly Released by CG-5, CG-7 & CG-13 Identifying Required Skills/Competencies • Develop Measurements of Available Reserve Force Capability • Understand Training Limitations • 48 IDT Drills/12 Days ADT – 60 IDT Drills/15 Days ADT • Remind Commanding Officers & Supervisors – Use of Reservists as an Augmentation Force is Completely Acceptable While Training Them to Meet Surge and Contingency Requirements

  7. Presently CORE is Not… • Reengineering of Reserve Mobilization • Prescription of How Reservists Are Employed • Review of Employing the Individual Ready Reserve • Fix to the PAL (R-PAL)

  8. Present CORE Tasks • Task – Identifying Reserve Enlisted Competencies • ALCOAST Series aligned with the seven required Reserve Force capabilities: Not developed in a vacuum, input/coordination with multiple sources • ALCOAST 246/11 - Initial CORE ALCOAST • ALCOAST 402/11 - CORE Enlisted ALCOAST 1 – Boat Operations • ALCOAST 582/11 - CORE Enlisted ALCOAST 2 – Prevention (Marine Safety) • ALCOAST 431/12 - CORE Enlisted ALCOAST 3 – Law Enforcement • ALCOAST 537/12 - CORE Enlisted ALCOAST 4 – Expeditionary Warfare • ALCOAST 052/13 - CORE Enlisted ALCOAST 5 – Response & Contingency Preparedness • All ALCOASTs will be updated annually • Task – Identifying Reserve Officer Competencies • Identified Stakeholders/Validating Requirement • Task – Force Shaping Working with CG-DCO/DCMS • Validate/refine requirements for Reserve Force competencies • Task – CORE Implementation with CG-DCO/DCMS/FORCECOM • Build consistent, repeatable systems for surge/contingency capabilities

  9. CORE ALCOAST Publication Process • ALCOAST Creation • Verify skills/competencies required, accomplished by coordinating with CGHQs Program Managers and Rating Force Master Chiefs (RFMCs) associated with the mission capability • For example: CORE Enlisted ALCOAST 2 – Prevention (Marine Safety) included CG-CVC, CG-FAC, CG-WWM, CG-721, CG-741, along with various RFMCs • Draft ALCOAST constructed by Program Managers reps, RFMCs, and CG-131 • Draft ALCOAST is forwarded to CGRF-MC and Area-51/DOL-31 shops to circulate to Senior Reserve Leadership and appropriate District/Sector leadership for comments • All comments reviewed and considered for incorporation in final ALCOAST by drafters • Once CG-612 approves the format, the ALCOAST draft travels through the Concurrent Clearance process which includes Divisions and Directorates relevant to the ALCOAST • CORE ALCOASTs are jointly released by CG-7 and CG-13, along with the appropriate CG-DCO Directorate; CG-5R, CG-5P, CG-5I • CORE Enlisted ALCOAST – Mission Support will include DOL as a releaser • Most ALCOASTs will be internet releasable; sensitive ALCOASTs will have an unclassified overview noting a link to the CG Portal for further information Document Classification | Title of Presentation | Office | Presenter | RFRS Symposium | Date of Presentation
