21st Century U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Manuals: Organization Manual, Sector Organization Manual, Port Security Unit (PSU) Organization Manual (CD-ROM)

This unique electronic book on CD-ROM has a complete reproduction of the latest version of the U.S. Coast Guard manuals, Coast Guard Organization Manual (CIM 5400.7), Coast Guard Sector Organization Manual (CIM 5401.6), and Port Security Unit (PSU) Organization Manual (CIM 5400.17). In addition, as a bonus, there are reproductions of over 160 vital U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Instruction Manuals covering personnel, operations and readiness, management, and Coast Guard missions. The sector manual covers command and control, department and subordinate units, watch organization, unit bills and contingency plans, boards, committees, and councils, collateral duties, and glossary of terms. The Port Security Unit Organization Manual covers the PSU. The Port Security Unit (PSU) provides security for and protects military and critical logistics material and handling facilities from terrorism, sabotage, espionage, subversion, and attack. The various operations at the PSU focus on successful accomplishment of this objective. PSUs are commissioned units organized for sustained operations. The Contingency Personnel Requirements List (CPRL) authorizes 117 billets for deployment. The Personnel Allowance List (PAL) authorizes 6 active duty personnel. The Reserve Personnel Allowance List (RPAL) authorizes 140 selected reservists (SELRES). Reservists receive specialized training during regular Inactive Duty for Training (IDT). The Coast Guard currently has eight PSUs in the following locations: PSU 301 Cape Cod, MA * PSU 305 Fort Eustis, VA * PSU 307 St. Petersburg, FL * PSU 308 Gulfport, MS * PSU 309 Port Clinton, OH * PSU 311 San Pedro, CA * PSU 312 San Francisco, CA * PSU 313 Tacoma, WA. PSUs operate highly maneuverable and armed transportable port security boats (TPSBs) using defense in-depth tactics established in the Marine Safety Manual, Volume VII, Port Security, COMDTINST M16000.12 (series), Naval Coastal Warfare Operations, NTTP 3-10.1, and Response Boat Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (RB-TTP) Manual, COMDTINST M16601.7 (series). PSU land-based security forces complement waterborne operations, and protect unit personnel, equipment, and command and control facilities. PSUs are expected to continually maintain a Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) readiness level to C2 to meet baseline system operational readiness. All equipment and personnel should be ready for rapid deployment. PSUs conduct port operations, security, and defense in support of Combatant Commanders operations worldwide. They provide waterborne and limited land-based anti-terrorism and force protection (AT/FP) for shipping and critical port facilities in conjunction with harbor defense and coastal sea control operations at the end points of United States sea lines of communications (SLOCs). PSUs may be deployed for domestic security operations in the United States (CONUS) or deployed worldwide outside of the continental United States (OCONUS). This flexible force package supports defense contingency requirements including major combat operations, lesser contingencies, or military operations other than war (MOOTW) in joint or combined operations as a component/task unit of a naval coastal warfare (NCW) operation.
