CHAPTER 1 - RQ-7B TRAINING AND READINESS UNIT REQUIREMENTS NAVMC 3500.34C 1.0 TRAINING AND READINESS REQUIREMENTS. The goal of Marine Aviation is to attain and maintain combat readiness to support Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare while conserving resources. The standards established in this program are validated by subject matter experts to maximize combat capabilities for each assigned Mission Essential Task (MET). These standards describe and define unit capabilities and requirements necessary to maintain proficiency in mission skills and combat leadership. Training Events are based on specific requirements and performance standards to ensure a common base of training and depth of combat capability. 1.1 MISSION. Support the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) commander by conducting electromagnetic spectrum warfare (EW), multi-sensor reconnaissance and surveillance, supporting arms coordination and control, and facilitating the destruction of targets day or night under all-weather conditions, during expeditionary, joint, and combined operations. 1.2 TABLE OF ORGANIZATION (T/O). Refer to the T/O managed by Total Force Structure, Marine Corps Combat Development Command, for current authorized organizational structure and personnel strength for a Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron (VMU). As of this publication date, a VMU (RQ-7B) is authorized: RQ-7B Table of Organization Squadron Squadron(-) Detachment Reserve Crewmember 3 systems 2 Systems 1 System 1 system 7314 UAS Operator 28 18 10 6 7315 UAS Officer 9 6 3 2 1.3 MISSION ESSENTIAL TASK LIST (METL). The METL is comprised of specified capabilities-based METs which a unit is designed to execute. METs are drawn from the Marine Corps Task List (MCTL), are standardized by type unit, and defined as Core or Core Plus METs. Core METs are those tasks that a unit is expected to execute at all times, and are the only METs used in reporting the Training Level (T-Level) for the Core Mission (C-Level) in the Defense Readiness Reporting System Marine Corps (DRRS-MC). Core Plus METs identify additional capabilities to support missions or plans which are limited in scope, theater specific, or have a lower probability of execution. Core Plus METs may be included in readiness reporting when contained within an Assigned Mission METL. An Assigned Mission METL consists of only selected METs (drawn from Core and Core Plus METs) necessary to conduct the assigned mission. MCO 3000.13 provides additional information on readiness reporting.

MCO 3000.13 Readiness Reporting provides additional guidance and a detailed description of readiness reporting using DRRS-MC. 1.7.1 The CMMR Readiness Reporting Matrix depicts the minimum crew composition (defined as a combination of qualifications and designations) reflecting the number of crews required per MET and minimum Combat Leadership requirements for readiness reporting purposes. A single crew, for readiness reporting purposes, is defined as two Unmanned Aircraft Operators and an Unmanned Aircraft Commander where all crew members are Mission Skill Qualified for the particular MET being reported. Although not the optimal crew composition if required, with an experienced UAO and UAC, the minimum crew to safely operate a mission with RQ-7B is two, an individual holding the Designation of Unmanned Aircraft Commander and one individual with the Designation of Unmanned Aircraft operator. The number of crews formed using the below minimum standards per crew captures the readiness capability of a squadron to perform the MET sortie.

Includes aircrew specific Refresher, Series Conversion, and Transition training. Aviation Ground personnel receive all 1000 Phase training at their respective MOS formal schools (FLCs). At the completion of this Phase, individuals are normally assigned to operational units. For Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) training see chapter 4 of this Manual. Fundamental, environmental, or conditional capabilities required to perform basic functions. These basic functions serve as tactical enablers that allow crews to progress to the more complex Mission Skills. Advanced individual crew position skills required to execute unit METs. These skills focus on crew coordination, integration with external agencies, and draw upon the knowledge and abilities developed during Core training. Skill training associated with a low probability of execution and/or theater specific operations. Although Core Plus training Events may provide valuable training opportunities, they are not considered essential to achieve unit Core Competency. Advanced individual crew position skills required to execute Mission Plus unit METs that may be theater specific or have a low likelihood of occurrence. Although Mission Plus training Events may provide valuable training opportunities, they are not considered essential to achieve unit Core Competency. Training Events required by other directives, Events that lead to specific certifications, qualifications, and/or designations, and other Events requiring tracking. Examples inc CSP is a measure of training completion for 2000 Phase Events. CSP is attained by executing all Events listed in the Attain Table for each Core Skill. The individual must be simultaneously proficient in all Events within that Core Skill to attain CSP. MSP is a measure of training completion for 3000 Phase Events. MSP is attained by executing all Events listed in the Attain Table for each Mission Skill. The individual must be simultaneously proficient in all Events within that Mission Skill to attain MSP. MSP is directly related to Training Readiness. MSP may contain 2000 Phase Events. CPP is an administrative collective term used to describe proficiency in the 4000 Phase of instruction. Specific training proficiency (by crew member) in the 4000 Phase shall be by CPSP and MPSP. CPSP is a measure of training completion for 4000 Phase Skill Events.

APPENDIX D SIX FUNCTIONS OF MARINE AVIATION SIX FUNCTIONS OF MARINE AVIATION Function Abbreviation Description Offensive Air Support Assault Support Anti-Air Warfare Electronic Warfare Control of Aircraft & Missiles Aerial Reconnaissance OAS ASPT AAW EW CoA&M AerRec OAS involves air operations that are conducted against enemy installations, facilities, and personnel in order to directly assist in the attainment of MAGTF objectives by destroying enemy resources or isolating enemy military forces. Its primary support of the warfighting functions is to provide fires and force protection through CAS and DAS. ASPT contributes to the warfighting functions of maneuver and logistics. Maneuver warfare demands rapid, flexible maneuverability to achieve a decision. Assault support uses aircraft to provide tactical mobility and logistic support to the MAGTF for the movement of high priority personnel and cargo within the immediate area of operations (or the evacuation of personnel and cargo). AAW is the actions used to destroy or reduce the enemy air and missile threat to an acceptable level. The primary purpose of AAW is to gain and maintain whatever degree of air superiority is required; this permits the conduct of operations without prohibitive interference by opposing air and missile forces. AAW's other purpose is force protection. EW is any military action involving the use of electromagnetic and directed energy to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy. EW supports the war fighting functions of fires, command and control, and intelligence through the three major subdivisions: electronic attack, electronic protection, and electronic warfare support. The control of aircraft and missiles supports the warfighting function of Command and Control. The ACE commander maintains centralized command, while control is decentralized and executed through the Marine Air Command and Control System (MACCS). CoA&M Missiles integrates the other five functions of Marine Aviation by providing the commander with the ability to exercise Command and Control authority over Marine Aviation assets. AerRec employs visual observation and/or sensors in aerial vehicles to acquire intelligence information. It supports the intelligence warfighting function and is employed tactically, operationally, and strategically. The three types of air reconnaissance are visual, multi-sensor imagery, and electronic.

CHAPTER 2 7314 UAS OPERATOR (RQ-7B) INDIVIDUAL TRAINING AND READINESS REQUIREMENTS 2.0 INDIVIDUAL TRAINING AND READINESS REQUIREMENTS. This T&R syllabus is based on specific goals and performance standards designed to ensure individual proficiency in Core, Mission, and Core Plus Skills. The goal of this chapter is to develop individual and unit war fighting capabilities. 2.1 TRAINING PROGRESSION MODEL. This model represents the recommended training progression for the minimum to maximum time per phase for the average 7314 UAS Operator (RQ-7B). Units should use the model as a guide to generate individual training plans. 2000 PHASE FAM, REC, IDF, TGO 7314 UAS Operator Training Progression Model 6000 PHASE UAO, CHF, UASMC 5000 PHASE BI, UFI, WTO, WTI 4000 PHASE TRAP, AAE, LFE 3000 PHASE AREC, SARM, SCAR, CAS, AESC, EXP 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 Months *Note* Time-to-train parameters are illustrated for each phase and displays minimum to maximum time to train. 2.2 PROGRAMS OF INSTRUCTION.

Event proficiency is defined as successful completion of the performance standard as determined by the instructor or evaluator. Event completion is predicated upon demonstrated proficiency. Once completed, it is logged in M-SHARP by entering the appropriate event code. M-SHARP automatically updates the event proficiency date to reflect the completion date. 2.3.2 Skill Proficiency. Proficiency is a measure of achievement of a specific skill. To attain Individual Skill proficiency, an individual must be simultaneously proficient in all events for that Skill. Individuals may be attaining proficiency in some skills while maintaining proficiency in others. Maintaining Skill Proficiency. Once attained, skill proficiency is maintained by executing those events which have a Proficiency Period (Maintain events). Proficiency Periods establish the maximum time between Event demonstration. Should proficiency be lost in any maintain event, for a specific skill, that skill proficiency is temporarily lost. Skill proficiency can be re-attained by again demonstrating proficiency in the Event(s) that are not proficient. For flying communities, an individual shall complete delinquent events with a proficient instructor, crewman/flight lead as delineated by the T/M/S Syllabus Sponsor (see Chapter 3 of the Program Manual on specific instructor requirements for Low Altitude Flight, Night Systems, ACM, DM, DACM, DCM, FAC(A)). Loss Of Individual Skill Proficiency. Should an individual lose proficiency in all maintain events in a skill, the individual will be assigned to the Refresher POI for the skill. To regain skill proficiency, the individual must demonstrate proficiency in all R-coded events for the skill. Loss of Unit Skill Proficiency. If an entire unit loses proficiency in an Event, unit instructors shall regain proficiency by completing the Event with an instructor from a like unit. If not feasible, the instructor shall regain proficiency by completing the Event with another instructor. For flying communities, if a unit has only one instructor and cannot complete the Event with an instructor from another unit, the instructor shall regain proficiency with another aircraft commander or as designated by the commanding officer. Proficiency Status. Proficiency is a Yes/No status by skill assigned to an individual. When an individual attains and maintains Core Skill Proficiency (CSP), Mission Skill Proficiency (MSP), Core Plus Skill Proficiency (CPSP), or Mission Plus Skill Proficiency (MPSP), the individual may count towards CMMR or CMTS. 2.3.3 Skill Currency. Currency is a control measure used to provide an additional margin of safety based on exposure frequency to a particular skill and applies to all MOS s that must comply with NATOPS and OPNAV requirements. It is a measure of time since the last event demanding that specific skill. For example, currency determines minimum altitudes in rules of conduct based upon the most recent low altitude fly date. Specific currency requirements for aircrew individual type mission profiles can be found in Chapter 3. Enclosure (1) 2-4
