Description
Summary:A ship's endurance depends on how long it can support operations at sea without replenishing supplies or requiring in-port maintenance. Similarly, crew endurance can be described as a function of physiological and psychological factors that support crew members' ability to perform their jobs effectively. Recent studies of Coast Guard personnel on cutters, at small boat stations, and at air stations have shown that some of our traditional work practices can lead to poor endurance, which translates to poor readiness. This Guide will show you how to manage crew endurance. It explains the different endurance risk factors and takes you step-by-step through the process of identifying these risks at your unit and implementing the controls necessary to improve crew endurance and mission effectiveness. These practical methods have been tested and proven on Coast Guard cutters, at Coast Guard air stations, at small boat stations, and on commercial vessels. --Original contains color plates: All DTIC reproductions will be in black and white.
