GLOSSARY
1. Billet: - A specific military manpower space which is assigned qualifiers that define the duties and functions to be performed and the specific skills and skill levels required to perform the delineated functions. (NOTE: Billet connotes military manpower requirement; while position connotes single civilian manpower requirement.)
2. Draft NTSP - That version of NTSP forwarded by the PDA for review and comments.
3. Initial Training - Training funded by the TSA (normally the PDA) until the TA has acquired the capability to train. It is normally "one-time" training for personnel performing or involved in DT and OT, initial cadre maintainers, and organic training activity instructors.
4. Maintainer - An individual responsible for performing maintenance. Maintenance activities include inspection, testing, servicing, classification as to serviceability, repair, rebuilding, and reclamation.
5. Manpower Requirements - The number of officer and enlisted billets required for each activity, which has been approved for planning purposes by the Chief of Naval Operations, as representing:
a. A need for manpower by quantities and skills, determined using industrial engineering and management analytical techniques.
b. A statement of the quantity and quality of manpower (billets) needed to perform Required Operational Capabilities (ROC) in a Projected Operational Environment (POE). For existing ships, aircraft squadrons and shore activities these requirements are displayed in Ship, Squadron, or Activity Manpower Documents or in Navy Training System Plans.
6. Mission Need Statement (MNS) - A statement of the operational capability required to perform an assigned mission or to correct a deficiency in an existing capability to perform the mission. The first document developed in the Weapon System Acquisition Process.
7. Navy Training System Plan (NTSP). - The principal document for defining manpower, personnel, and training requirements and resources for new developments (formerly the Navy Training Plan). The NTSP is a life cycle document which identifies the resources required to establish and maintain an effective training program throughout the new development life cycle. It controls planning for meeting the training requirements of the new development, and identifying personnel required to install, operate, maintain, or to otherwise use the new development being introduced into the Navy.
8. On-Board Training - Training conducted by a command for attached personnel to both develop and refine individual operator and maintainer skills, individual and team watch qualifications, General Military Training, or any other training conducted by a command in other than a formal school house context.
9. On-the-Job Training (OJT) - OJT is a program designed specifically to train an individual without the necessity for interrupting the performance of daily assigned duties relative to the trainee's work assignment. OJT may take the form of reading assignments, job performance with or without supervision, self-paced instructional materials, or combinations thereof.
10. Presentation Media - Presentation media describes the means to convey or present skills and knowledge for each training type. Presentation media includes Interactive Courseware (ICW), Technical Training Equipment (TTE), Training Devices (TD), curricula material, training aids, etc.
11. Presentation Technique - The specific technique used to present material for each training type. It includes group instruction, self-paced Computer Based Training (CBT), and the various categories of individual instruction.
12. Program Manager - A military or civilian official who is responsible for managing an acquisition program.
13. Proposed NTSP - The version of the NTSP reflecting changes to the draft NTSP agreed to at the NTSPC, or in lieu of an NTSPC, agreed to by the DCNO Program Sponsor. This version is submitted by the PDA for concurrent approval by the Program, Resource and MP Mission Sponsors.
14. Ready for Training (RFT) - The date that a new training course or capability will be available for training purposes. All aspects of the capability must be ready including building completion, device or equipment installation and check out, instructors, furnishing installation, etc. This is the ultimate planning date for training activities.
15. Staff Manpower - Manpower that is not directly involved with the operation or maintenance of an operational system. The Division Officer and Division Chief billets in a squadron or on a ship are examples of staff manpower.
16. Subject Matter Expert - A person who, by virtue of extensive background and long term involvement in a field, is recognized as a reliable or expert source of information related to that field.
17. Technical Training Equipment (TTE) - Investment cost end items of operational equipment devoted to the training and instruction of Naval personnel for which Program Managers or SYSCOMs have the responsibility for the design, development, modernization, or selection for service or special use.
18. Training - Instruction and applied exercises for the attainment and retention of skills, knowledge, and attitudes required to accomplish tasks.
19. Training Agency (TA) - An office, bureau, command or headquarters exercising command of and providing support to some major increment of the Navy's formalized training effort. Once a training course has been approved, the TA assumes responsibility from the TSA for follow-on training as long as the course is required. This include such activities as Chief of Naval Education and Training,( CNET), Commander in Chief U.S. Atlantic Fleet (CINCLANTFLT), Commander in Chief U.S. Pacific Fleet (CINCPACFLT), Chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), Commander, Naval Reserve Force (COMNAVRESFOR) .
20. Training Aid - Any item developed and produced with the primary intent of assisting in training. Training aids are restricted to those items of material which fall outside the definitions of training devices and operational equipment used for training (TTE). Examples include films, transparencies, training tapes, mock-ups, prefaulted modules, fault insertion aids and unique audio-visual equipment, etc.
21. Training Device (TD) - Hardware and software which have been designed or modified exclusively for training purposes involving to some degree, simulation or stimulation in its construction or operation, so as to demonstrate or illustrate a concept or simulate an operational circumstance or environment.
22. Training Equipment (TE) - Equipment designed for operational purposes which is the subject of instruction or which is used by the instructor or student as an element of the process of teaching or learning. Training equipment has or had as its prime or initial purpose for existence some function other than that of training personnel; and which, in order to achieve its prime purpose, requires that training be provided for the personnel who are associated with it for its prime purpose.
23. Training Path - The sequence and duration of courses required for each unique type of billet. These courses include factory, prerequisite, replacement, conversion, or a combination thereof.
24. Training Support Agent (TSA) - An office, bureau, command or headquarters responsible for supporting the Training Agent by providing material and other forms of support within the cognizance of the office involved. The TSA provides initial training for the equipment/system until the training agency can acquire the capability for training. TSAs include such activities as Commander, Naval Air Reserve Force (COMNAVAIRESFOR), Systems Command (SYSCOMs) and Commander, Naval Surface Reserve Force (COMNAVSURFRESFOR).
25. Training Type - Refers to initial skill, operator, various maintenance levels, or team training.
PREFACE
This update will replace Navy Training Plan A-50-8516C which was approved by Chief of Naval Operations on 8 March 1993. It reflects the following changes:
When E-6 is used in this document it refers to both the E-6A and E-6B. The use of E-6A or E-6B only applies to that specific model.
