Enclosure (1) to COMDTINST 16114.20
Current, Future, Interim Forces, and Transition Plan
1. OVERVIEW: Figure (1-A) illustrates the shore-based response boat force's transition from
a force with 15 boat type designations (including the IMARV) filled with numerous and
varied boat types and models, to a force of four designated standard boat types, one fleet of
skiffs, and one special purpose craft (SPC) category. Redesignation of existing boats and
allowances to achieve the "Interim Force" illustrated in Figure (1-A) will occur during FY02.
Boat standard support levels will be adjusted in the FY02 Operations and Support Budget
Models to reflect these new designations. The "Future Force" also depicted in Figure (1-A)
will be achieved once acquisition programs for the 47' MLB, the Near Shore Lifeboat
(NLB), RB-M, and RB-S have been completed.
