T-AVB 3Site Survey After Action Capt Joey S. Martin
Pilot Information Handbook • Usually on the L-Decks, provide a Pilot Information Handbook (kneeboard size), which depicts ship’s pattern/procedure, emergency marshalling procedures and other Air Operations procedures particular to that air capable ship. I understand that the SS Curtiss produces such a book. I need to find out if the SS Wright has a PIH. • I was told that the 1st Mate or the Master would have the answer. • If the ship does not provide one I need to get the ship’s procedure manual so that I can create a PIH.
Communication/Navigation Aids • I think we need to exercise the new comm system and Navigational aids prior to the actual exercise. • I will be out of pocket for the MPC, unfortunately I will be on leave from 26 Mar to 2 Apr 04.
Helicopter Landing Support • According to Bob Silva, 1st Mate SS Curtiss, a six-Marine firefighting team usually augment the ship’s flight deck crew. We need to verify that this is the case with the SS Wright. • We also need a minimum of 2 Marines trained to direct the helicopters in for landing. • According to Sgt Kidder he has a total of 5 (including himself) Helicopter Landing Support Marines trained to do both duties.
Helicopter Landing Support Required Equipment • According to Bob Silva, the T-AVB is required to have PPE on hand for the ship’s crew (not embarked Marines). We need to verify that this is the case with the SS Wright. • If the above is the case with the SS Wright, We need the following PPE • Not organic to my unit • 6 Red Float Coats (1 for each firefighter) • 6 Red long Sleeve Jerseys (1 for each firefighter) • 2 Red Microphone Cranial, 4 Red regular cranials • At least 2 *yellow Float Coats (1 for each director) • At lease 2 yellow long sleeve jerseys (1 for each director)
Training • Sgt Kidder is verifying that all of his Marines’ training is documented. • If we can get all 5 HSL Marines we will still need 3 Marine just to have the min augment team. • I have been in touch with Chief Campton (Asst Trainning Chief) on Camp Lejeune; it turns out that they coordinate to have the a Navy Flight deck expert come down to Lejeune to train Marines prior to deployment. Since we have only3-5 guys (alt) who might need the training, it is possible that they might have to travel to Norfolk to receive the training. • Before we set up this training we need to verify that we need all these Marine to augment the deck crew.
