A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand

ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION A site visit sould be made per ishyodically by the DAPA andor SAC to each detachment in or der to maint ain conti nuity of the pr ogram at a l l sites
ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound
FIRST TERM SECOND TERM THIRD TERM (CAREER)

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms

ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION A site visit sould be made per ishyodically by the DAPA andor SAC to each detachment in or der to maint ain conti nuity of the pr ogram at a l l sites
ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound
FIRST TERM SECOND TERM THIRD TERM (CAREER)

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics

Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION A site visit sould be made per ishyodically by the DAPA andor SAC to each detachment in or der to maint ain conti nuity of the pr ogram at a l l sites
ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound
FIRST TERM SECOND TERM THIRD TERM (CAREER)

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION A site visit sould be made per ishyodically by the DAPA andor SAC to each detachment in or der to maint ain conti nuity of the pr ogram at a l l sites
ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound
FIRST TERM SECOND TERM THIRD TERM (CAREER)

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned

ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms

ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms

ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned

ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION A site visit sould be made per ishyodically by the DAPA andor SAC to each detachment in or der to maint ain conti nuity of the pr ogram at a l l sites
ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION A site visit sould be made per ishyodically by the DAPA andor SAC to each detachment in or der to maint ain conti nuity of the pr ogram at a l l sites
ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound
FIRST TERM SECOND TERM THIRD TERM (CAREER)

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

1 ~ONS LFARNED
A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned

ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION A site visit sould be made per ishyodically by the DAPA andor SAC to each detachment in or der to maint ain conti nuity of the pr ogram at a l l sites
ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

1 ~ONS LFARNED
A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

4-3
A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION A site visit sould be made per ishyodically by the DAPA andor SAC to each detachment in or der to maint ain conti nuity of the pr ogram at a l l sites
ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable

DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements

ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics

Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives

A PROBLEMITEM Communication and flow of information
DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Take all important paperwork with the Main Body flight rather than depending too heavily on the organizational shipment

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSTlON The main problem the Sl Department encounshytered was in the area of communication and flow of information external to the command Since NMCB TlmEE has only one SNDL liRting the command mall and messaqes were directed to Lhe Coimnanding Officers current Teom location Aside from message traffic which was expeditiously retransmittedreoddressed to the respective TeamOct official mail (eg PCS or der s examinotion results etc ) was resent to the respective TeamOct through tbe postal service which normally took seven days In the case of bulky mail delivery often took four to six weeks
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Many of these problems were eased by personnel traveling to and from OeL sites handcarrying papershywork to their destination This procedure should be utilized as much as possible rwakuni Detail used the MAC Flights as a Courier service by requesting assistance from the Marine Liaison Office at the MAC terminal Other Details should use this ~ethod for most correspondence also If the mail system is used mail should be stamped Priority unless a four to six week delay is acceptable
B PROBLEMITEM AUlOVON Service
DISCUSSION ProblelllS with AUTOVON communciations - many manhours were spent trying to get a line through to Subic Diego Garcia or Port HuenemP Often the lines were preempted in the middle of an important conversation To compound the problem the Okinawa switchboard does not normally utilize a call back system
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION AUTOVON use can be maximized through planning of calls digesting of information to be relayed and utilizing of the same line by all personnel Lines to Subic and Diego Garcia are easiest to obtain during the evenings or on weekends while calls to CONUS are easier to make in the mornina before 0800 A direct dial line can also be installed but preshycautions must be taken to safeguard against unauthorized use
c PROBLEMITEM Organizational gear
DISCUSSION The late arrival of the organizational gear created a backlog and a resultant ORI discrepancy in the POJ evaluations

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION During the homeport period at least one man from each detachment should be identified and trained as a bullcollateral Duty DrugAlcohol Counselor (CODAC) In turn each counselor will designate and coordinate an effective substance abuse program with the DAPA and Substance Abuse Counselor (SAC assigned to the main body
L PROBLEMITEM Oniforniity of Substance Abuse Pr ograms
DISCUSSION The DAPA and SAC assigned to the mainbody were unable to adequately monitor the other detachment policies on subshystance abuse Therefore uniformity could not be maintai ned
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION A site visit sould be made per ishyodically by the DAPA andor SAC to each detachment in or der to maint ain conti nuity of the pr ogram at a l l sites
ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE
At t he beginning of the deployment the AdminPersonnel Off ice was staffed as Follows YNCS YNl YNJ YNSA PNl PNJ two PNSNs and a SN I n addition a YNJ was assigned to the Operations Department (5-3) and a PN2 was assigned to the Air Detachment at Subic bull Loss of both YN3 s and the PN2 without reliefs caused personnel turbu-lenc in the department and resulted in a Staff at the end of the deplolllent of YNCS YNl YNSA PNl PNJ t wo PNSNs and a PNSN assigned t o Subic
e Despi t e t he personnel turbulence and lack of experienced per-sonnel throughout the depl oyment the Admin Department was able
ut to meul its commitments Through sincere dedication t o duty and the unabated professionalism of all personnel the BLUE IV Deployshyinent was complet ed providing the best possible service to a total Team population of approximately 320 enl isted personnel 190 of which were i n Okinawa 90 in Subic 20 in l wakuni and 20 in Diego Carcia

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound

First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

The Battalion Medical Officer 60-day visit at the two-month point of deployment provided valuable exposure to battalion opershyations and ORI reviews In addition to the training aspect the visit provided the men with improved medical care and was favorably received by the troops
The medical TOA was inventoried updated packed and placed in storage Tho TOA turnover fi1e was improved by setting up a separate TOAMount-out folder detailing medical items storage area and in the case of medicines the expiration date The folder also contained mount-out instructions and procedures Review of the completed folder was held monthly Most non-TOA narcotic items were eliminated from inventory through careful monitoring of drug expiration dates and disposal of expired narcotics
DENTAL
Patients screened (deployed) 250
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site
CHAPLAIN PROGRAM
During the Blue IV deployment the Battalion Chaplain was av111lable immediately upon deployment for 30 days and aqain during the Christmas religious holidays for 45 days This was emotionally stabilizing in that a spiritual director was available to personshytlI during the two most crucial periods of the Blue IV deployment cycle During the remainder of the deployment mu Balmer the

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
The Battalion Dental Officer and Dental Technicians normally remain in Homeport to provide dental care and screening for the homeport team All personnel are screened early in Romeport to identify any dental probl0111s which must be corrected prior to deployment Approximately midway through the deployment the Dental Officer and his staff traveled to all deployment sites to conduct pre-homeport dental screens In this mann04 a dynamic dental care program was provided Upon departure of the Battalion Dental Team 92 of the Team personnel were Class I patients Routine dental care continued to be provided by Dental Branch Offices located at each deployment site

A PROBLEMITEM Subic Detail Career Counselor
DISCUSSON SubJc Detail initially assignrd as collateral duty Career Counselors two men who had attended a one-week course in Career Counsrling while ln llomeport On deployment the men were hravlly involved in project work where their normal duties required too much of their time This proved insufficient for serving Lhc nreds of o 90-man detail Therefore during lhr deshyploymrnt onr staff supporl man was assigned half-time duty as Career Counselor and improvampments were noted
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION At least one Career Counselor Advisor for SUbie Detail should be trained in the four-week CIAC Course This individual should work half-time as Career Counselor and half-time in another Staff billet rather than in projectshyrelated work
I PROBLEMITEM Training for Battalion Medical Officer
DISCUSSION Mrd1cal Officers reporting for Battalion duty arc often reporting directly from ~edical School where the emphasis was placed on medical procedures and patient affairs Prior to reporting to a Battalion thr new Medical Officer usually receives no formal training in management enlisted personnel records office routines TOAs or mount-out procedures The TAD assignments of all battalion Medical Officers to the CBC Clinic isolates them further from training available in the battalion and from daily interface with Battalion problems
ACTIONRECO~~FNDATION A course should be developed to prepare Mrdical Officers for battalion duty Further deployment site visits should be coordinated to coincide with readiness exshyercises to provide exposure to and appreciation for battalion mount-out requirements
J PROBLEMJTFM Dental Staff exposure to Battalion Readiness
DISCUSSION ThP Dental staff remains in homeport the mashyjority of the time and is unable to develop the knowledge dnd skills required for mount-out This situation is further aqgreshyvated by their TAD assignment to the NRDC Port Hueneme whioh further isolates them from the workings of a Battalion
ACTIONRECOMMENDATION Although the Dental staff makes deployment virils these v1s1ts should be scheduled to include the deployed Team Readiness Exercise By going through an actual exercise the Dental staff would thus become familiar with mount-out requ1r~mcnts by ~eLually performing step-by-step the movements required for a battalion mount-out

DISCUSSION Some detachments did not make referrals to treatment centers when processing substance abuse cases This was due to the lack of trained personnel on hand

ADMINISTRATION
cc 2 NARRATIVE
s
Work flow during the entire deployment was constant except for several weeks of long hours in preparation tor the ORI in October 1980 The Department was severely hampered at the onset by the delayed arrival of the battalion organiiational gear which contained all the directives and publications required i n the normal day-toshyday rout i ne of the Sl Department With the assistance of CPAO at Kadena the Sl staff was able to continue to provide support to all departments companies and det sites as well as the Commanding Officer and Staff of NMCB THREE

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives

The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates

CAREER COUNSELOR
During the Blue IV deploymltnt the Team Career Counselor was kepl very active with numerous and varied requests by the team personnel The success of the retention program can be attributed primarily to the effort of the Retention Team and the personal involvement of all members in the Chain of Command The overall battalion retention rate of 734 percent was the highest in COHCBPAC NCF (Battalions) Contact with the SElBEE Detailers was excellent throughout the deployment but contacting Fleet Rate Detailers from Okinawa proved to be very difficult Use of the Battalion Career Counselor in llomeport was beneficial in overcoming this problem
The Blue Team reenlisted 18 men on deployment while numerous extensions of less than 24 months were executed to obtain eli9ishybi lity for proqrams ranging from Guard III to formal schools Guard III Split Tours and Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) continued to be the primary reenlistment incentives
The rotcntion figures for the period 1 August 1990 to l Maroh 1981 were as follows for NMCB TITREpound
FIRST TERM SECOND TERM THIRD TERM (CAREER)
51 2
833
85 6
First term retention was 112 over CINCPACPLETs 9oal of 40 Second Term was 13 3 over the goal of 70 and Third Term or Career was 156 over the goal of 70 NMCB THREE led all COMCBPAC Battalions in retention statistics and received the Silver Anchor Award
EDUCATIONAL SERVICES OFFICE
The Educational Services Office continued as a collateral duty of the Team Career Counselor Twenty-three personnel comshypleted off duty education while deployed some for deqree progra111t1 and several for occupational field training Several personnel worYed on High School GEDs with two receiving GEO Certificates
Frequent visits by the Career Counselor to CFAO Educational Services provided current information on advancement CLEP High School GED and many other educational programs Of the 115 candishydates (Blue and Goldi who participated in the September 80 Navyshywide advancement examination 61 were selected for advancement 50 were passed but not advanced and 4 failed The overall passino rate of 971 was consistent with prior exam passing rates
