HHQ Review of Forecasts • HHQ (Group/Wing/MARFOR/HQMC) will review forecasts per timetable established in DMS message/MCO 3125.1B • If a submitted forecast must be modified • HHQ must Unsubmit it • HHQ or squadron can make edits • Squadron must Submit again
Data Setup CCRM Estimates Permissions Known discrepancies
CCRM estimates T-2.0 “benchmark” for a full T/O squadron established by FHP Serves as a reference for squadrons when creating their SBTP forecast FY-2008 numbers have already been transferred to M-SHARP
SBTP Permissions • Forecasts • Only squadrons can Submit a forecast • Prevents HHQ from modifying squadron forecast without their knowledge • Only HHQ can Unsubmit a forecast • Prevents squadrons from modifying their submission without HHQ knowledge • Either can edit until it is submitted • Execution Report • Only accessible to those granted read access
Assign SBTP Security Groups • SBTP Submit/Edit Forecast • Only for squadron-level billets • CO, OpsO, SBTP manager • Possibly: XO, AOpsO, FlightO, M-SHARP Admin • SBTP Unsubmit/Edit Forecast • Only for billets at group level & above • CO, OpsO/G-3T, SBTP manager • Possibly: XO, AOpsO, M-SHARP Admin • SBTP View Execution Report • For anyone who rates access to forecast & actual SBTP data
Known Data Discrepancies • 3 sets of CMMR data w/ minor discrepancies • T&R Manuals • M-SHARP • Old Page 1 & 2 Reports • Example • UH-1N T&R requires 3 “EW” CSP Crewchiefs • But T&R has no attain/maintain events for it • So, the “EW” core skill is not shown in M-SHARP for UH-1N Crewchiefs
For FY-2009 & Later Squadrons submit forecast by 1 Aug MAGs review by 8 Aug WINGs review by 15 Aug MCIs review by 15 Aug MARFOR review by 22 Aug HQMC pulls data on/after 23 Aug

SBTP Execution Report Forecast & execution data Read-only Excel Export
Monthly Review Process No action required by squadrons except to keep M-SHARP data accurate Ensure all discrepancies are reconciled by the 5th working day of the month On or after the 6th of the month, group and above assumes previous month’s data is accurate unless told otherwise
Key Question If HHQ can now access squadron-level data, how will they know if it is accurate?
Implementation Levels • CO declares unit data accurate • Data baselined, daily scheduling & logging flights, NALCOMIS interface • Minimum training requirements met • At least 1 M-SHARP Admin in Ops • Units expected to reach level 1 in 3 months • M-SHARP use required, but not trained • M-SHARP use not required
Current Implementation Status Last update: 27 Mar 08
FAQs • Can you edit the SBTP reports manually? • Forecast data: yes via Unsubmit/Resubmit • Execution data: no • If a pilot from Squadron A flies in an aircraft from Squadron B, which unit gets the credit? • Hours/sorties show on Squadron B’s SBTP • How will deployed hours/sorties get counted? • Via SPIN files; counts toward “mother” squadron
FAQs • Will simulator time count toward SBTP? • Sim hours counted in “Total Sim Hours” block • T&R code(s) logged in sim contribute to CSP • How are sorties counted? • # sorties = # legs on a NAVFLIR • Do augment/staff aircrew count? • Determined by Unit Status in personnel attributes
