scope:

Endurance challenges are ever-present in CG operations. The target audience for CEM are all CG members who contribute to the overall goal of increasing unit effectiveness: from a motor lifeboat crew working a challenging SAR case, to a cutter boarding team conducting a fisheries inspection, to a helicopter crew executing a hoist, to an electronics technician maintaining a sector high-site antenna, to an acquisition officer purchasing new equipment or services, to a marine safety officer selecting and deploying pollution response resources, to an area staff planning a major operation or exercise. All members of the CG organization depend on endurance to execute their daily tasks in a safe and effective manner.

PURPOSE. This Instruction establishes the requirements and the delivery system to support a program, Crew Endurance Management (CEM), to identify and control endurance risk for personnel conducting cutter, boat, aviation, marine inspection and pollution response, security, and commandand- control operations and activities. This program serves all active duty, reserve, Auxiliary, and civilian Coast Guard personnel.
