Emergency Billet Analysis

Now general emergency, general emergency, all hands man your general emergency billets. The USCGC WALNUT needs to re-structure their Personnel Allowance List (PAL). Four out of the sixteen 225’s are understaffed and don’t have enough people to fill the WQSB for general emergency. While inport, we have to fight for NED assistance. Workload for personnel is unrealistic.
In the event of an actual casualty such as an out of control fire, undermanned 225’s have a great risk of losing the ship and crew. 225’s don’t have enough people to fill positions for general emergency. During a 2008 manpower requirement analysis conducted by CG-1B3, they came to the conclusion that to effectively fill general emergency billets you need a minimum of Fifty-eight people. Fifty-eight is the recommended compliment for general
In a Juniper class manpower requirements memorandum, it states that the reason we are cut short of billets is due to the fact we have MAT assistance. In the manpower analysis it states all quarterly and above PM not assigned to FN/SN is assumed to be accomplished by MAT team personnel or other support labor sources (military, civilian or contractor). If the others cutters are in, ships force takes on all the PMS with the high likelihood of personnel getting burned out.
Workload limits are unrealistic for members assigned to the cutter. Currently we have 6 MK’s in both the Main Propulsion and Auxiliary divisions. In the analysis done in 2008, they did a work load study that was done for 10 MKs onboard. In that study it showed that the MK workload for the ten assigned MKs exceeds the workload capacity standard (143.1%). This indicates the average productive workload is 40.6 hours per week. With almost half the amount of MKs I’m going to say that number is almost at 200%. The EM’s, BM’s and DC’s had similar statistics all well over 125% of their working
