OPNAV INSTRUCTION 3501.288A
From: Chief of Naval Operations
Subj: REQUIRED OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES AND PROJECTED
OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR TACTICAL AIR CONTROL GROUPS
Ref: (a) OPNAVINST C3501.2K (NOTAL)
Encl: (1) Projected Operational Environment (POE) for Tactical
Air Control Groups (TACGRU)
(2) Required Operational Capability (ROC) for Tactical
Air Control Groups (TACGRU)
1. Purpose. To issue the revised required operational
capabilities (ROC) and the projected operational environment
(POE) for Tactical Air Control Group (TACGRU) ONE.
2. Cancellation. OPNAVINST C3501.288.
3. Discussion. Enclosures (1) and (2) have been prepared per
reference (a). The ROC and POE provide the necessary details to
describe the mission areas, environment and operational
capabilities for which TACGRU is responsible. This instruction
provides resource agencies information concerning TACGRU mission
requirements, capabilities, and the types and locations of
expected operations. Together, the ROC and POE establish
tasking which produces a measurable workload used to compute
personnel requirements for fleet manpower documents (FMD).
4. Action. Fleet commanders are requested to periodically
review enclosures (1) and (2) and recommend changes to the Chief
of Naval Operations (Attn: Amphibious Warfare Branch,
Expeditionary Warfare Division (N953)) when mission requirements
and corresponding capabilities of TACGRU are significantly
altered. Change recommendations should include comments on the
expected FMD impact.
