COMBAT SYSTEM OPERATIONAL
SEQUENCING SYSTEM (CSOSS)
The Combat System Operational Sequencing
S y s t e m ( C S O S S ) i s a c o l l e c t i o n o f m a n u a l s
specifically designed for each class of ship. The
manuals include step-by-step procedures and
supporting material for combat system personnel to
use in supporting the operation and maintenance of
combat system equipment. Combat system readiness
fundamentals are provided in the Combat System
Technical Operations Manual (CSTOM). The CSOSS
and CSTOM manuals cover a wide spectrum of
readiness fundamentals for each class of ship. Joint
instruction COMNAVSURFLANTINST 4790.20/
COMNAVSURFPACINST 4790.9 (series) provides
directions to commanding officers for use of CSOSS.
CSOSS is a readiness tool that provides the means to
manage combat systems readiness around-the-clock,
at-sea and in-port, in peacetime and in wartime.
Consult your specific CSOSS User’s Guide for
detailed instructions and explanations concerning the
requirements of your ship class and related equipment.
Your ship’s Combat Systems Officer of the Watch
(CSOOW) and chain-of-command will help you find
specific information about these manuals and CSOSS
instructions.
