Figure 4-3.-Typical ship’s electronics readiness team organization. SERT  Operations For  the  SERT  to  coordinate  preventive  and  cor- rective maintenance efforts effectively, there must be extensive  coordination  and  cooperation  among  the 4-11 major  branches  of  the  combat  systems/weapons  de- partment.  The  SERT  members  should  have  direct access to the leading petty officers of each subsystem group  within  the  combat  systems/weapons  depart- ment. Additionally,  because  combat  systems  do  not  in- clude all maintenance and operational departments of the ship and because combat systems cannot operate without  the  support  of  other  departments,  all  de- partments  should  be  involved  in  implementing  a system-level maintenance program. Both officers and enlisted  personnel  should  participate  in  the  sched- uling process for the plan. For  the  SERT  to  be  held  responsible  for  combat systems  readiness,  it  must  have  clearly  defined  re- sponsibilities  and  authority.  This  is  best  done  by  a specific  shipboard  instruction.  The  SERT’s  authority should  be  in  the  area  of  organization,  as  well  as  in materiel and personnel readiness. The  knowledge  that  SERT  personnel  have  must not  be  confined  to  a  particular  subsystem  if  the  or- ganization  is  to  function  properly  during  condition III and in port. For  all  personnel  to  quickly  understand  combat systems  availability  during  conditions  I  and  III,  and in   port,   the   SERT   should   establish   the   following three  lines  of  communications: 1. Condition  I:  The  STO  should  be  assigned  a general  quarters  station  in  the  combat  information center (CIC). He should be able to inform the tactical control  officer  (TCO)  of  the  present  and  changing status  of  combat  systems  availability  on  a  threat basis.  The  rest  of  the  SERT  members  should  be  as- signed  as  roving  evaluators  for  subsystems  with which  they  are  most  familiar.  If  possible,  the  duties of  the  roving  evaluators  should  be  rotated  to  ensure that  SERT  members  become  familiar  with  all  areas without affecting the overall operation of the combat systems. 2. Condition  III:  At  least  one  SERT  member should  be  on  watch  in  the  CIC,  with  the  responsi- bility  of  reporting  combat  systems  status  to  the tactical  action  officer  (TAO).  The  remaining  SERT
