The idea is to provide you the “big picture” perspective of where your squadron fits in the FHP, and to reveal some of the “behind the scenes” information that isn’t always apparent at the Operational Level.

5. FHP Organization & Function
Purpose: Develop CNAF’s Flying Hour Plan to meet GFM schedule and COCOM requirements for aviation assets.
Participate in Congressional (POM) Budget development
Formulate and provide FHP Requirements throughout FYDP for annual POM budget development process
Work directly with PACFLT, USFF, OPNAV and FMB
Monitor current FY program execution
Make Flight Hour / Funding adjustments commensurate w/emergent requirements and GFM schedule changes
Funding Priorities
1. Deployed Readiness
2. FRS/CNATRA
3. Homeguard Readiness
FYDP: Future Years Defense Program
FMB:

6. FHP Requirement Development
GFMAP – Global Force Management Allocation Plan
Chaired by JCS and is a DoD process
Held once per year
Typically February
Translates COCOM presence requirements into ship and expeditionary squadron schedules
Adjudicated requirement by OPNAV N3 with JCS
Final approval lies with SECDEF
MAP – Master Aviation Plan
Released twice per year
Usually June and December
Started to plan for transitions and was expanded for all schedules
Translates the GFMAP ship schedule into CVW & EXP schedules
Provides roadmap for squadron transitions & CVW / CVN assignments
Final approval lies with CNAF
FADM---new term for GFMAP?

7. FHP Requirement Development
OFRP – Optimized Fleet Response Plan
Building block approach to CVW readiness that supports the FRP
Four phases: maintenance, basic, integrated, sustain
Nominally 36 months in duration
Current readiness standards use a 27 month profile
GFM / MAP schedule dictates actual R / D month assignment
Current year schedule changes

8. Programming to the GFM Requirement
Notional FRP Profile R+months align entitlements to GFM schedule

9. FRP Notional Profiles
Individual T/M/S Fleet Readiness Training Program (FRTP) profiles are based on community T&R Matrix requirements and derive flight hour programming
Profiles are NOTIONAL
GFM schedule dictates actual R+month assignment to align entitlements to FRP requirements
Baseline FRTP funding
Support hour requirement fully captured and funded (MESH)
Contingency and national/multi-national exercises not specifically funded.
Must be absorbed within baseline allocation unless augment provided

CNATRA/FRS cuts reduces readiness (e.g., T-Notch)

12. FHP Cost Breakdown . . . for a typical Air Wing FA 45% FM 15% FF 39%FW
<1%
Contracts (FW)
100% fixed cost. Labor contracted to sustain aircraft.
Cost is not recoverable and is lost in year of execution.
Fuel (FF)
100% variable cost. Reduce flying, reduce cost.
Consumables (FM)
Items used to sustain or repair aircraft. Reduce flying, reduce most cost. Residual cost incurred as periodic maintenance is performed.
Repairables/AVDLR (FA)
Aircraft components that are repaired and returned to the supply system. Reduce flying, reduce costs. Residual cost incurred as periodic maintenance is performed.
Total CPH (OP-20 v3512):
FA-18C: $ 11,258 MH-60R: $ 3,908 E-2C: $8,684 P-3C: $6,343
FA-18E: $ 9,240 MH-60S: $ 3,106 E-2D: $ 4,722 P-8A: $4,916

13. FHP Management GFM Schedule drives the Flight Hour Requirement
Flight Hours generate Readiness (not $$)
Funding tied to T&R Matrix and specific FRTP profile
Buying Readiness thru Flight Hour execution
Every sortie counts
Hours execution is the primary goal, funding follows
“Either you run out of money…”
“Or you give back money…”
CNAL will adjust as required
Fuel CPH is just a small slice of the pie (~40%)
CNAL gets briefed on readiness and hours execution,
not how much money is in the 7B account

14. How do I come up with the Hours?
Hours = [(#Crews)(100%T&R)]R-month% + [(Total MESH)(#Crews)]
MESH = Mission Essential Support Hours
Ashore MESH = 1
Afloat MESH T/M/S specific
Major at sea evolutions

22. If you’re entitled to OCO, you will get an augment*
Cost of War Augments
Cost of War is now OCO (Overseas Contingency Operations)
OCO hours flown over the funded baseline will be reimbursed
Ensure early coordination with operational commanders to protect baseline training requirements
Timely submission of OCO augment request
Request can be via
Augment will come via message
Baseline hours are available for training – as long as you can meet your operational commitments
Readiness degradations acceptable ONLY if you didn’t have time or capacity to train all capabilities (single mission focus, NMC, etc.)
OCO = Overseas Contingency Operations (the new politically correct term for “Cost of War”)
If you’re entitled to OCO, you will get an augment*

23. OCO message traffic is released AFTER baseline grant
The OCO Process
Non-CVW:
Contact USNAVCENT FHP Manager
LCDR Mark “Blomer” Blomer, C5F FOPS
USNAVCENT FHP Manager releases an authorization message
CNAL N407 concurs and releases augment to quarterly grant
CVW:
CVW FHP Manager gather squadron requirements
Submit total CVW requirements through C5F to CNAL N407
OCO message traffic is released AFTER baseline grant

WTI/Staff hours (CVW Staff, Type Wing Staff, CSG-4)
Your OPS-O’s “should” know about this and how to track it.
Reported on BOR for tracking purposes

26. WTI’s and Staff hrs do not count against you.
WTI, Staff Hours
Reimbursable Hours/Special Interest Hours
WTI requirements essential for ACTC qualifications, Advanced tactical readiness
CVW Staff hours assist in execution of CSG operational requirements (70 hrs/mo)
WTI, Staff FHP requirements executed by Fleet Assets
WTI, Staff hours become “reimbursable” only after 100% execution has been obtained
Example: Sqdn Qtrly allocation = 1000 hrs
WTI, Staff flies 50 hrs in sqdn a/c
Sqdn has flown 990 hrs w/ 1 week remaining in QTR
Sqdn funding can be increased to cover up to 1050 hrs
(will be adjusted to cover actual execution above 1000 hrs)
Report all reimbursable/special interest hours on BOR
TAKE AWAY: WTI, STAFF hours don’t count against you, so FLY THEM. In fact, they can help you. In the example above, let’s say the squadron closes the quarter having only flown 950 hours by its own squadron personnel. This would show an under-execution, however, since they have also used their aircraft to fly 50 WTI and/or CVW Staff hours, the total execution against their FHP is 1000 hrs (or 100% execution)
WTI’s and Staff hrs do not count against you.

29. Takeaways Execution Essentials
Execute to the funded HOURS…let us manage the dollars (7B)
Direct correlation: Funding >> Hours >> Readiness
CPH fluctuations will be adjusted to ensure total HOURS requirement is fully funded and executable
Fuel expense minimal compared to overall program
Advice for OPSOs
Contact CNAF through COC early in reimbursable hour situations!
If someone volunteers to ‘pay for your hours’ – remember that it is not simply fuel cost
You cannot over-fly your quarterly allotment without prior approval of CNAL
Execution Essentials
Fly your hours to defend future budgets
Forward issues up the COC early!
