individuals aboard ship should be instructed in the action they should take if they see someone fall overboard. They should also understand what action they can expect the ship to take to rescue the person. Frequent drills and instructions in watch sections are held to ensure the successful rescue of personnel lost overboard. When the word is passed that a person has fallen overboard, you should immediately muster your division and report it to the division officer, who reports it to the department head. Anyone who sights a person overboard should immediately 1. call out,   “MAN OVERBOARD, PORT (or STARBOARD) SIDE”; 2. notify the OOD in the quickest manner possible; and 3. if near a life ring or other life saving equipment, t brow or release the equipment as near to the person as possible. CBR Defense Bill The purpose of the CBR defense bill is to prescribe procedures and responsibilities for defensive  measures  against  CBR  (or  any combination of the CBR) attack. This bill describes procedures to minimize the effects of a CBR attack so that the ship’s mission can still be accomplished. The damage control assistant (DCA) is responsible for administering the bill. As the division LPO, you should make sure your personnel know where their battle, ready shelter, deep shelter, and decontamination stations are and the routes to them. You will assist the division officer in CBR training matters and evaluate the abilities of your personnel in CBR defense procedures. Emergency Destruction Bill All commands located outside the United States  and  its  territories,  all  “deployable commands, and all commands holding Com- munications Security (COMSEC) material must have an emergency destruction bill. Emergency destruction of classified material is necessary to prevent its capture by an enemy. Destruction plans call for the highest degree of individual initiative in preparing for and in actually commencing the required destruction. All personnel must realize that in emergencies subjecting classified material to compromise through capture,    they must start necessary destruction under the plan without waiting for specific  orders. The order in which classified material is to be destroyed under emergency conditions should be determined in advance and the material so marked and stored. Classified matter is destroyed in order of classification—highest classification first. Destruction by fire is the traditional method for all combustible materials. Oil or chemicals may be used to aid in burning. Classified equipment must be smashed beyond recognition, and unclassified equipment should be demolished beyond repair. A sufficient number of destruction tools— including sledgehammers, screwdrivers, axes, and wire cutters—are always kept in equipment spaces for use in emergency destruction. The priorities for emergency destruction are as follows: 1. Priority One. Top Secret material in the following order: (1) COMSEC material, (2) special access material, (3) other material 2. Priority Two. Secret material in the follow- ing order: (1) COMSEC material, (2) special access material, (3) other material 3. Priority Three. Confidential material in the following order: (1) COMSEC material, (2) special access material, (3) other material PERSONNEL QUALIFICATION STANDARDS The Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS) Program is a qualification system for personnel to perform certain duties. A PQS lists the minimum knowledge and skills required to qualify for a specific watch station, maintain specific equipment, or perform as a team member within a unit. The PQS Program is not a training program, but it does provide objectives to be met through training. A PQS is most effective when it is used as a key element of a well-structured and dynamic unit training program The PQS program is established in units throughout the Navy. It is used by the air, surface communities, and the Coast Guard. It provides qualification  standards  and  a  method  of recordkeeping for training. PQS use is required in units to which it is applicable, unless suspended by fleet commanders in chief. It is not applicable to nuclear propulsion or the fleet ballistic missile (FBM) weapons systems. 4-8
