Who are the approved assessment authorities for 3-M certification?

The approved assessment authorities for 3-M certification include COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANT and ATG. These organizations are specifically structured to oversee and assess the maintenance and material management processes within the Navy. Their role involves ensuring that units are compliant with the 3-M system standards, thus upholding operational readiness.

COMNAVSURFPAC and COMNAVSURFLANT, which stand for Commander, Naval Surface Forces Pacific and Commander, Naval Surface Forces Atlantic respectively, are responsible for the evaluation and certification of surface ships to ensure they are following regulations effectively. The ATG, or Afloat Training Group, provides additional oversight and conducts training assessments, ensuring that personnel are knowledgeable and proficient in their roles related to the 3-M system.

This multifaceted approach towards assessment helps to maintain a high standard of operational capability and readiness across the fleet, ensuring that all units correctly implement and benefit from the 3-M process. The other options present authorities that either do not specialize in the 3-M system assessment or lack the formal recognition needed for certification purposes.
