4.

Initial staggering of when operators come off crew is necessary to cause artificial overlap of operators

B.

Eliminate Crew Readiness Evaluations (CRV) and Ready Spacecrew Advanced Training Missions (RAM) and instead utilize a combined structure for Monthly Recurring Training (MRT)~

1.

Provide training on an advanced threat topic and tailor a scenario to present that threat in a simulator environment 2.

Make it a low threat environment for all operators present so that they can learn, without concern about negative consequences 3.

Require any operators returning to crew within the next month perform their position and evaluate their ability to perform standard tasks.
