GROUP   COMMANDER’S   COMBAT SYSTEMS   COORDINATION SUPPORT   TEAM The  group  commander’s  combat  systems  coord- ination  support  team  (CSCST)  assists  in  monitoring and  assessing  an  individual  unit’s  combat  systems organization and readiness during all combat systems readiness   evolutions.   During   these   evolutions,   the CSCST conducts ship visits to evaluate and help de- velop  shipboard  programs  to  improve  combat  sys- tems readiness. Until permanent CSCST detachments are   formed   in   individual   home   ports,   group   com- manders form CSCSTs from assets within the group and the ship’s home port. Specifically,   the   CSCST   takes   the   following actions: Reviews  combat  systems  administrative  sup- port  (i.e.,  technical  manuals,  CSTOMs,  consolidated ship/station  allowance  list  [COSAL],  planned  main- tenance   system   [PMS],   general-purpose   electronic test  equipment  [GPETE]),  assesses  progress  during overhauls  and  ship  restricted  availabilities,  conducts reviews  of  the  combat  systems  integrated  test  plans (CSITPs),   and   supports   CSPOE/CSORE. Evaluates  and,  when  required,  conducts  tech- nical  training  to  improve  the  ship’s  force  ability  to light-off, test, operate, and maintain combat systems equipment. Evaluates  the  effectiveness  of  the  ship’s  elec- tronic readiness team. Assists  in  conducting  the  following  CSTEP events: combat  systems  pre-overhaul  assessment combat  systems  post-overhaul  examina- tion combat   systems   operational   readiness examination (phases I and II) NAVSEACEN   COMBAT   SYSTEMS READINESS   ASSISTANCE Personnel  from  the  NAVSEACEN  provide  engi- neering  technical  support  and  material  services  to forces  afloat.  They  assist  in  conducting  combat  sys- tems  readiness  reviews  (CSRRs)  and  provide  tech- nical   assistance   for   gun/missile/ASW   battery   and gunfire  control/missile  fire  control/ASW  fire  control. These reviews are not the same as the technical assis- tance  for  repairs  provided  by  fleet  technical  support centers   (FTSCs).   Instead,   they   provide   assistance necessary  to  further  the  “self-reliance”  of  the  ship’s force  in  improving  the  operational  readiness  of  in- stalled ordnance. COMBAT   SYSTEMS   READINESS REVIEW The  comprehensive  combat  systems  readiness review  (CSRR)  helps  the  ship’s  force  to  achieve  a high  state  of  combat  systems  readiness  for  deploy- ment.  Implicit  in  this  goal  are  the  following  objec- tives: To  assess  the  readiness  of  the  ship’s  combat systems  materiel  and  personnel  and  to  report  the status to appropriate seniors To  help  the  ship’s  force  and  the  IUCs  correct material problems To  provide  on-the-job  (OJT)  training  for  the ship’s force personnel and to improve the ship’s self- sufficiency ORDNANCE   SPECIAL   ASSISTANCE TEAM The ordnance special assistance team (ORDSAT) consists  of  several  technicians,  both  military  and  ci- vilian, highly trained in various fire-control systems. The  team’s  primary  purpose  is  to  instruct  the  ship’s force in how to maintain its own equipment, thereby 4-8
