APPENDIX C

EXERCISE EQUIVALENCIES

Ref: (a) COMNAVSURFLANT/PACINST 3502.3

(b) OPNAVINST 1500.71

C-101. General. The following matrix lists those exercises approved for readiness reporting under the type commanders' exercise equivalency program. This exercise equivalency program includes only scenarios run on own ship's systems whether generated from shore-based/mobile (van) scenario generators or embedded/on board scenario generators.

a. When accomplished via shore-based or mobile team training devices of the major fleet schools (e.g. FCTCs, FASWTCs, TACTRAGRUs, and ATGs), the exercises listed in these matrices are specifically pre-approved as equivalencies.

b. When accomplished by shipboard embedded/on board trainers, the exercises listed in these matrices are approved as equivalencies provided that approved scenarios (as listed in reference (a) warfare area bulletin for the scenario generator concerned) are used. Other scenarios must be approved by the ATG or the type commander.

C-102. As indicated in Article 6107, equivalencies will not be granted for actual weapons firings except as noted therein. In addition, specific exercises designated as readiness caps must be satisfactorily performed. Exercises claimed by equivalence will not remove or negate caps.
