Standard Boat STANTEAMs travel throughout the Coast Guard to assess the operational readiness of standard boats and crews. These STANTEAMS provide valuable procedural and technical information to station and group staff; track boat and crew performance trends; provide data and policy recommendations to COMDT; and evaluate prototype equipment for standard boats. Assignment to STANTEAM duties is reserved for those individuals who have intimate knowledge and experience with a specific standard boat, i.e., 41' UTB, 47' MLB, etc., and who exhibit the maturity and confidence to professionally converse with personnel of all paygrades (E-1 to O-6). Those assigned to the STANTEAM staff should expect an extensive travel schedule with frequent family separations.
