CG Develop/Need Assess |
"The
team can assist a country in achieving national maritime goals in
non-defense areas within the U.S. Coast Guard's area of expertise.
The team composition and length of deployment will be based on input
from the host nation and U.S. Embassy officials. Should the host nation
have a mission or issue that is covered by multiple U.S. agencies,
which includes the U.S.C.G, the team leader will assist in acquisition
of personnel from other U.S. agencies. The team will initiate a four
phase process: 1) Review and refine the request/goals/issues that
stimulated the assessment. 2) Examine the mission process including,
but not limited to, site surveys, interviews with subject matter experts
and program managers. 3) Develop an action plan to implement the recommended
interventions. 4) Follow up deployments to facilitate & measure
effectiveness of recommended interventions. In the case of training
plan development, phase four will be accomplished by training teams.
The scope of the request will impact the number of deployments required
to complete phases one through four. A minimum of two team deployments
are required for effective implementation of this module. Areas addressed
by previous assessment teams have been: evaluation of maritime law
enforcement programs, development of model ports relative to narcotics
intervention, creation of an implementation plan for a multi-mission,
multi-agency maritime service management model, and development of
training plans for multi-agency marine safety and maritime law enforcement
programs." |
