In an effort to improve training management systems for U.S. Marine Corps aviation ground and flying squadrons, the Aviation Standards Branch of Training and Education Command implemented a Web-based program designed for the needs of the operation and headquarters units. The Marine Sierra Hotel Aviation Readiness Program, or M-SHARP, uses the Marine Aviation Training and Readiness (T&R) Program as its foundation to develop, approve and publish training plans, as well as to record and report scheduled T&R completion. More importantly, M-SHARP enables unit operations departments to track an entire unit’s progress through the training syllabus. The T&R Program sets the training stage and provides the necessary guidance for attainment and maintenance of individual, crew and unit combat skills. M-SHARP is an automated, government-owned data software program that provides real time forecasting, scheduling, execution, and reporting of accurate data and information.
The rationale behind the M-SHARP application is to integrate T&R Program guidance into a rules-based objective system that checks a unit’s training schedule based on the T&R standards in order to validate adherence to published guidelines. This functionality offers a very effective risk identification and management tool for commanders. While M-SHARP’s current functionality provides much needed assistance to squadron operations departments, other capabilities include training execution modules in the Help module…
M-SHARP is moving forward into its -fifteenth year of implementation across the Aviation and Aviation Ground Fleet Marine Corps Forces and Reserves (hereafter referred to as ‘Units’) wherein training and readiness is guided by the Aviation Training and Readiness Program Manual, Navy and Marine Corps Directive (NAVMC) 3500.14. The objective of this requirement is to continue execution of efforts to deploy and support M-SHARP and implement new and enhanced functionality of the application by July 2020 and beyond to fully support the Fleet Marine Forces, Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) and Aviation Training System (ATS) needs of Marine aviation, allow more simulator and ground utilization, increase functionality on multiplatform based systems, and increased security and current functionality. M-SHARP application increased functionality and sustainment will allow for ground and other units to use and build on current capabilities. Sustained development and support of a user friendly, web-based and stand-alone application and are paramount to ensure M-SHARP remains a viable and authoritative resource for US Marine Corps Aviation flight hour and sortie based training data.
The scope of this effort entails technical, analytical, and programmatic support to implement and sustain mission capabilities. Specifically: (1) continue the development of M-SHARP through sustainment of current capabilities and development of additional needed functionalities; (2) continue building, fielding, and supporting an integrated web-based application for the Units; and (3) provide the Higher Headquarters (HHQ) elements with reporting services necessary for the collection of data required to justify budgetary decisions…
