(3) Commencing third quarter FY96, the Coast Guard Institute began offering a TCT
correspondence course. Entitled " Introduction to Team Coordination Training"
(course code 0648), this course provides an overview of TCT for command afloat and
other interested personnel. At that time, Atlantic Area (Aot) integrated TCT into its
exportable navigation/mobility courses and into its Special Emergency Operations
Procedures training. Later that year, the Leadership and Management School
incorporated elements of TCT into its curriculum.

DISCUSSION. Currently, all cutters, groups, and districts have had some exposure to TCT.
Over 150 district-controlled facilitators have been trained to support the exportable TCT
program, and dozens more have been trained to support the resident courses. However, to be
an effective program, all members within operational teams must understand and apply these
skills. Based on the requirements outlined below, the annual training target is approximately
7,100 personnel, which would include 2,325 active duty, 575 reserve and 4,200 Auxiliary
personnel. The majority of these personnel will receive exportable, unit-level training at their
individual units. More important than the number of people trained, however, is the goal to
have teams trained together to emphasize teamwork through this exportable training concept.
