b. Gas Turbine Changeout Vans, funded and managed by COMSERVFORSIXTHFLT N431A.

c. Waterjet Machines, funded and managed by COMSERVFORSIXTHFLT N431B.

d. Availability scheduling.

2.2.3 Commander, Logistics Western Pacific Organizational Matrix.

2.3 COMMON MAINTENANCE FACILITIES - ALL AREA OF RESPONSIBILITIES. The following types of maintenance facilities are common to all AORs and provide the services indicated.

2.3.1 Afloat Fleet Maintenance Activities.

2.3.1.1 Capabilities. For purposes of this volume, the term tender will be referred to as Afloat Fleet Maintenance Activity (AFMA). AFMAs offer the broadest range of industrial capabilities of any Navy activity. AFMAs are capable of repairs in all areas (e.g., hull, electrical, mechanical, electronic, and ordnance equipment). Where there are shortfalls in shipboard expertise, AFMAs will be augmented by outside resources.

2.3.1.2 Workload. AOR Maintenance Coordinators, Operational Commanders, and AFMA Commanding Officers will maximize use of deployed AFMA Fly Away Teams (FAT), deployed or otherwise.

2.3.1.3 Afloat Fleet Maintenance Activity Fly Away Team. FATs provide a unique method of rapid deficiency correction which stresses mobility, initiative, and maximization of resource utilization. AFMA FATs shall be used for Casualty Report correction and technical assistance for ships not collocated with the AFMA. AFMA FATs are tasked by the AOR Maintenance Coordinator only after the following conditions have been established:

a. Casualty is not correctable by ship, ships in company, or Battle Force Maintenance Activity.

b. Ship will provide parts or FAT can carry all required parts.

2.3.1.4 Afloat Fleet Maintenance Activity Fly Away Team Organization. Each AFMA will establish procedures to enable the deployment of FATs within hours of receiving tasking. The procedures will include pre-designation of FAT members, rapid preparation for travel orders, travel regulation briefings, advances in travel funding, area briefings, and area clearance messages as appropriate.

2.3.1.5 Fly Away Team Funding. FAT funding will be provided in accordance with Fleet direction.

2.3.1.6 Afloat Fleet Maintenance Activity Reports. During ship availabilities and FAT employment, all AFMAs will submit a Daily Repair Status Message in accordance with Appendix A of this chapter.

2.3.2 Ship Repair Units. SRUs provide contract maintenance support in all ports when assigned. SRU functions include shipcheck of screened work packages, specification writing, contract technical representation, and Quality Assurance of contracted work. Working closely with Naval Regional Contracting Center (NRCC), which performs the Primary Contracting Officer functions, SRUs ensure all work accepted for accomplishment as Voyage Repair (VR) is completed on time and in accordance with specifications. SRUs are located in Naples, Bahrain and Singapore and work closely with the collocated CTF 63, CTF 53, and COMLOG WESTPAC in contracting VR work.

2.3.3 Naval Regional Contract Center. NRCCs are located in London, Naples, Bahrain, Dubai and Singapore. NRCCs have a primary mission of providing purchase and payment services for logistics requirements of all ships assigned. In support of maintenance, NRCC issues Master Agreements for Repair and Alterations of Vessels (MARAV) which legally pre-qualify area industrial activities to accomplish Navy work. Issuance of a MARAV does not guarantee industrial activities can accomplish all types of work. It does expedite the contracting of work of which they are capable.

2.3.4 Fleet Technical Support Center Detachments.

Fleet Technical Support Center Detachments.

a. Fleet Technical Support Center Atlantic (FTSCLANT)/Fleet Technical Support Center Pacific (FTSCPAC) mission is to promote shipboard self sufficiency in accordance with reference (a) and (d) as applicable. This is carried out by providing system and equipment experts to assist and train Ship's Force in casualty prevention and correction. When the assistance required is not resident in the AOR, the responsible DET will arrange technical assistance from other sources. Each DET publishes a list of their onboard technical capabilities; however, for their assigned AORs, DETs can call upon all Continental United States resources to provide assistance. DETs can provide assistance for all non-nuclear shipboard systems. Additional details on FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC support are available in references (a) and (d).

b. FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC DETs have the following geographic AORs. Ships transiting from one AOR to another should ensure both applicable FTSCLANT/FTSCPAC DETs are addressees on requests for assistance.
