The purpose of Navy Training Support Plan (NTSP) is to establish policy for planning, determining and documenting Manpower, Personnel and Training (MPT) requirements and development for Navy and Navy and Marine Corps integrated weapons and warfare systems across the entire continuum of Naval training (Apprentice, Journeyman and Supervisor). The revision aligns with changes in acquisition policy, procedures, responsibility and reporting identified in the Navy Resource Requirements Review Board (R3B) process per reference (a). This instruction is a complete revision to 1500.76C and should be reviewed in its entirety.

This instruction applies to all Navy and Marine Corps programs that deliver Acquisition Category I through IV programs, non-acquisition category programs, modernization and rapid acquisition programs. The instruction is also applicable to abbreviated acquisition programs, non-developmental items, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), rapid deployment capability, business systems and urgent need programs (e.g., Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) systems). Middle Tier acquisition programs will follow procedures identified in reference (b). Inter-Service Training programs will follow the procedures outlined in reference (c). This instruction facilitates the alignment of the system, manpower and training requirements throughout the lifecycle of the system and Rating Continuums. This instruction also serves as the Department of the Navy (DON) guidance to building a training effectiveness assessment model(s). Compliance with this policy will ensure MPT requirements traceability in support of new or modernized (or both) Navy training capabilities via enclosures (1) through (6).
