NAVAL EDUCATION AND
TRAINING (NAVEDTRA)
PUBLICATIONS
Rate training manuals that are marked with
an asterisk (*) in NAVEDTRA 10052 are MAN-
DATORY at the indicated levels. A mandatory
training manual may be completed by (1)
passing the appropriate Enlisted Correspondence
Course based on the mandatory training manual,
(2) passing locally prepared tests based on the in-
formation given in the mandatory training
manual, or (3) in some cases, successfully
graduating from an appropriate Navy school.
Originally, training manuals were developed
by the Chief of Naval Training and carried the
designation NAVTRA followed by a number. In
1973, the Naval Education and Training Produc-
tion Development Center (NETPDC) came di-
rectly under the command of the Chief of Naval
Education and Training (CNET). Training
materials published by NETPDC after the above
date are designated NAVEDTRA in lieu of NAV-
TRA; however, the numbers remain as originally
assigned for most publications. The designators
of publications printed prior to 1973 will be
changed as each publication is revised.
It is important to note that all references,
whether mandatory or recommended, listed in
NAVEDTRA 10052, may be expected to be used
as source material for the written examinations
at the appropriate levels. In addition, references
listed in a rate training manual may also be used
as source material for examination questions.
