The purpose of this Computer-Based

Training (CBT) is to provide standardized terminology and provide students the

knowledge they need as US&R Boat Operators prior to attending any

Instructor-Led Training. The course provides students with standardized

terminology and information that align with the operation of US&R Jon Boats

and Inflatable Rescue Boats (IRB). Prerequisites: Prior to taking this US&R

Boat Operator CBT, students must complete an NFPA 1006 Swiftwater Technician

course. This course content was designed with the understanding that students

completing the CBT will have already learned common water rescue terminology

and already have an understanding of swiftwater rescues. This course builds on

that knowledge and focuses on terminology and knowledge for utilizing boats to

conduct water rescue operations. US&R Task Force Safety Officers are

recommended to review the curriculum, so they understand the terminology and

standardized knowledge that US&R Boat Operators are being taught in this

course. This CBT also serves as an excellent refresher swiftwater rescue team

members are deployed and staged awaiting assignment to perform swiftwater

rescue operations.
