NWSS by providing an on-going evaluation of the entire accession system (recruiting, recruit
training, initial field unit) as compared against the nonrate optimals.
5.
MISSION. The mission of the NAC is to help provide the Coast Guard optimal nonrates by
providing recommendations based on an ongoing identification of the needs of nonrates,
units, and the Coast Guard.

The committee will analyze and evaluate current nonrate performance data against
identified optimal elements as provided by the Performance Technology Branch,
