OPNAVINST 3500.38A/USCG COMDTINST M3500.1A, MCO 3500.26.3. Background. The Universal Naval Task List (UNTL) is a single source document thatcombines the Navy Tactical Task List (NTTL) and the Marine Corps Task List (MCTL). Asapplied to joint training and readiness reporting, this task list provides a common language thatcommanders can use to document their command warfighting requirements as mission essentialtasks (METs). The UNTL’s tactical level of war tasks are a compilation of Navy, Marine Corps,and Coast Guard tasks, written utilizing the common language and task hierarchy of theUniversal Joint Task List (UJTL). The UNTL is architecturally linked to the UJTL, whichincludes strategic-national (SN), strategic-theater (ST), and operational (OP) levels of war tasks.This continuum is described in more detail in Chapters 1 and 2 of enclosure (1).4. Scope. This instruction applies to Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard (Department ofDefense-related missions) activities, commands, and personnel conducting joint and navaloperations, training, and readiness reporting.5. Discussion. The UJTL and UNTL structures were developed as a standardized tool fordescribing requirements for planning, conducting, assessing, and evaluating joint and Servicetraining. However, because the UJTL and UNTL provide a common language and referencesystem for addressing requirements, there are numerous Service and joint initiatives that can usethese structures for additional purposes.6. Policy. All Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard (Department of Defense-related missions)activities, commands, and personnel conducting joint and naval operations and training shall:a. Use the UNTL to facilitate linkages between Service and joint training as discussed inreference (b).b. Use the detailed procedures for implementing Service and joint training policy that arecontained in references (c) and (d).c. Apply the concepts and methodology prescribed herein in planning, conducting, assessing, andevaluating joint training.d. Use the UNTL to facilitate linkages between Service and joint readiness reporting asdiscussed in reference (e).e. Use the guidance for implementing DRRS per references (f) and (g).2

OPNAVINST 3500.38B/MCO 3500.26A/USCG COMDTINST M3500.1BJAN 30 2007Introduction1. Purpose. The Universal Naval Task List (UNTL) is designed as an interoperability tool forjoint force and naval commanders to use as a master menu of tasks, conditions, and standardsthat provides a common language and structure for the development of naval mission essentialtask lists (METLs). The UNTL, along with the Army and Air Force task lists, directly supportsthe Universal Joint Task List (UJTL) [CJCSM 3500.04 (series)] and joint METL (JMETL)development. The defense transformation implementation strategy exploits and maximizes jointoperations using a “capabilities-based,” network-centric force. The UJTL (which includesService task lists) is the primary link to support joint training development, the DefenseReadiness Reporting System (DRRS), and future resource/weapon system procurement.2. Universal Naval Task List. The UNTL is a combination of the Navy Tactical Task List(NTTL), and the Marine Corps Task List (MCTL). The UNTL (NTTL MCTL) contains acomprehensive hierarchical listing of the tasks that can be performed by a naval force, describesthe variables in the environment that can affect the performance of a given task, and providesmeasures of performance that can be applied by a commander to set a standard of expectedperformance. The UNTL identifies “what” is to be performed in terms common to all Services.The UNTL does not address “how” a task is to be performed (found in joint or Service doctrineor tactics, technique, and procedures), or “who” is to perform the task (found in the commander’sconcept of operations). The tasks listed in Chapters 3 and 4 are derived from Service and jointdoctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). Doctrinal references have been crossreferenced within this manual to assist users in seeking applicable doctrine.3. Mission Essential Task List (METL). A METL is developed in support of a commander’sassigned mission. Section 2 of this instruction, unique USN/USCG and USMC information insections 3 and 4 respectively, and the Joint Training Manual (CJCSM 3500.03) describe theprocess by which a METL is developed. Through careful analysis of an assigned mission, thecommander will arrive at a set of capability-based requirements. These requirements are thenexpressed in terms of the essential tasks to be performed, the conditions under which these taskswill be performed, and the standards to which these tasks must be performed. This instructionsupports the process of developing a METL. See Table 1-1 below for a listing and shortdescription of key terms. A more complete listing of terms is contained in Appendix B.4. Tasks. Tasks describe in broad terms the requirements of the Armed Forces of the UnitedStates. They are actions or processes performed as part of an operation. When combined withthe UJTL, this document provides an overall description of tasks that can be applied at multiplelevels of war, i.e., strategic, operational, and tactical. A detailed description of each task isprovided in the task definitions in Chapters 3 and 4. Tactical level tasks for the other Servicesmay be found in their respective service task lists. A task cannot be classified as joint simplyUniversal Naval Task List1-1
OPNAVINST 3500.38B/MCO 3500.26A/USCG COMDTINST M3500.1BJAN 30 2007based on its nature or on its placement at a particular level of war. The jointness of a task isbased largely on how and by whom the task is performed and the context in which the operationor mission is conducted. In general, jointness connotes activities in which elements of more thanone military Service participate under the auspices of a joint force commander.5. Conditions. Conditions are variables of the environment that affect the performance of tasksin the context of the assigned mission. They are categorized by conditions of the physicalenvironment (e.g., sea state, terrain, or weather), military environment (e.g., forces assigned,threat, command relationships), and civil environment (e.g., political, cultural, and economicfactors). Some conditions are designed to help describe the theater of operations (e.g., hostnation support), others describe the immediate operational area (e.g., maritime superiority), whilestill others describe the battlefield conditions (e.g., littoral composition). When linked to tasks,conditions help frame the differences or similarities between assigned missions. The list ofconditions can be found in Appendix A.6. Measures and Criteria of Performance Comprise Standards. Commander’s approvedmeasures and criteria of performance comprise the task standard to describe how well a jointorganization or force must perform a joint task under a specific set of conditions. The JFC usescriteria and measures to establish task standards based on mission requirements. These standards,when linked to conditions, provide a basis for planning, conducting, and evaluating militaryoperations, readiness reporting, developing training events, and support the procurement offuture weapon systems and resources. Measures and criteria will be further defined in Chapter 2.7. Applicability to Other Processes. As mentioned above, UNTL NTTL MCTL. The NTTLand MCTL provide all the naval tactical level tasks to the UJTL.a. Unified combatant commanders and combat support agencies (CSAs) leverage the UJTL toassess and report readiness against their JMET/agency METs (AMET), giving them insight into avariety of other processes.b. The UJTL and JMETL structure can be used to focus requirements for joint models andsimulations.c. Functional capability boards (FCBs) can map joint integrated activity sets future forcedevelopment to UJTL tasks. These tasks can be used to define critical doctrine, organization,training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF) changesrequired through the FCB and Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) process.d. Institutions providing joint professional military education (JPME) may cross-referencelearning objectives to UJTL tasks to better align joint training and education systems.e. The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) joint information exchange requirements (JIER) and theAssistant Secretary of Defense command, control, communications, computers, intelligence,surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) architecture framework document require the JIER andUniversal Naval Task List1-2

This is an integralcomponent to Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)/JCS policy in the generation of jointoperational architectures and C4ISR requirements.f. The UJTL, in describing capabilities required to execute the National Military Strategy, isfound in the Joint Strategy Review and the Joint Vision Concept for Future Operations. UJTLtasks will be mapped to joint capability areas. These capability areas will become theunderpinning for capabilities-based planning. Future versions of the UJTL will providecapability templates with UJTL tasks mapped horizontally and vertically to approved capabilityareas. UJTL linkage to the capability development processes enhances the identification of jointrequirements, capability shortfalls and deficiencies.Table 1-1.
