2
Background

• Originated at the 11th ESB 29 Mar 05
• Determine requirements for a resident MTT course
  for a Ground Commanders Safety Course or in
  combination with a distance learning course.
• Continued at the 12th ESB 30 Nov 05
• Continue development of the Ground Commanders
  Safety Course for content, audience and teaching
  methods.

3
Discussion

• Currently, Aviation Commanders receive
• Aviation Commanders Safety Course
• DC Aviation requirement
• 1.5 day course at the conclusion of the second
  week of the CMC Commanders Course
• Separate from Commanders Course
• Aviation Safety Commanders Course
• 1 week course in Pensacola, Fl which focuses on
  how to establish a command safety climate and
  includes mishap prevention, tools, mishap
  investigation and workshops.

4
Discussion

• Currently, Ground Commanders receive
• Approximately 2 hours of instruction during week
  2 of the CMC Commanders Course
• Time allotted is insufficient to address the
  myriad issues that face Ground Commanders
• Ground Commanders dont want to see stats, they
  want to know what tools are available and how to
  institute a successful programthis requires
  additional time

5
The Way-Ahead

• MCU has developed a recommendation for a revision
  to the Commanders Course format
• SD work with MCU, with CG TECOM guidance, to
  develop a construct for additional safety
  training during common, generic and specific
  phases of the CMC Commanders Course
• Pursuing a distance learning course with the
  College of Continuing Education.

6
Distance Learning

• Developed a task list which serves as an outline
  for a DL course.
• Continue to work closely with MCU, TECOM and the
  College of Continuing Education to develop the
  course as a web-based initiative.
• The vision is for the course to become a future
  pre-requisite for Ground Commanders prior to the
  CMC Commanders Course.
• The DL course will be made available, online, to
  anyone who wishes to take it.

7
Conclusion

• The combination of a DL course and additional
  structure within the Commanders Course will serve
  to give Ground Commanders the same exposure to
  Force Preservation tools, techniques and
  structure that the aviators receive. This is
  where we will get our biggest bang-for-the-buck.

MCCLL Mission
The Marine Corps Center for Lessons Learned
(MCCLL) will collect, analyze, manage and
disseminate knowledge gained through operational
experiences, exercises, and supporting activities
in order to enable Marines to achieve higher
levels of performance and to provide information
and analysis on emerging issues and trends in
support of operational commanders and CMC Title
10 responsibilities.
The MCCLL is NOT the IG and it is NOT
conducting assessments of a commanders decisions
or actions

WARRIOR PRESERVATION THE WAY AHEAD
54
USMC Safety StrategyThe Concept

• Signed 19 Apr 06
• Four main goals with sub-objectives
• Accompanying POAM
• Contains measurable, actionable items that
  require oversight from our leadership
• How does it relate to DOD and DON directives?

56
Top Down Approach

• Force Preservation Initiative
• Top-down approach that begins with the SECDEFs
  75 Mishap Reduction Challenge.
• SECDEF and SECNAV provided the Big Blue Arrows
  that guide our efforts.
• The POAMs developed by the USN and USMC are the
  tools that drive our measurement efforts.
• This is where the meat of our initiatives are
  identified, executed and tracked.

57
What Do We Measure?

• Plans target 7 key areas
• Aviation
• Ground
• On Duty (Operational)
• Off Duty (PMV, Rec etc)
• Civilian Lost Work Days
• Leading Indicators
• Suicide Statistics and Prevention
• Training and Education
• Culture Change

Includes Fatalities
58
Plans of Action

• Developed around the 7 target areas.
• Direct leadership and behavioral intervention
  strategies that are designed to address the most
  critical areas of personnel and equipment loss.
• This is the most powerful tool we have because it
  tracks our programs, allows for measurements and
  establishes clear timelines.
• Must have leadership buy-in in order to breed
  accountability and responsibility for program
  ownership and execution.

59
Endstate How Do We Measure?

• Ensure all our directives and documents involving
  Force Preservation initiatives support the
  SECDEFs goals that have been established.
• Establish the USMC POAM as a reporting and
  measurement tool.
• Require monthly updates to the POAM accompanied
  by rate and trend analysis that will show current
  programs, their status and perceived affect on
  mishap rates and trends.
• CMC SD will provide updates based on fleet input
• DASN will provide monthly updates to Mr. Penn WRT
  DON Objective 4. Mr. Penn will brief Dr. Winter
  on a quarterly basis.
• We must force our leaders to execute and track
  the plan that was signed by the ACMC.

60
Commanders Climate Survey (CCS) Update

• Formerly known as the Organizational Cultural
  Diagnostic Instrument (OCDI)
• Administered prior to a Commanders Warrior
  Workshop (CWW)
• To assist in validating trends and issues from
  the CWW process
• BST will build a Marine Corps database
• So the Commander can compare unit results to a
  benchmark based on other BNs

61
Commanders WarriorWorkshop (CWW) Update

• Six Battalions completed CWW in 2nd MarDiv.
• MARFORPAC identified 4 units (2 each in I III
  MEF) to conduct the CWW process.
• Five fully trained Facilitators
• CMC SD
• I MEF
• III MEF
• MFR
• MCCDC
• Three under training
• CMC SD
• (2) from II MEF
• I MEF
• CMC SD to present the CWW process to 4th MAW
  during their upcoming Safety Conference.
• CCS and CWW as a self assessment tool for the
  unit commander.
