What consequences does a command face if its CTS score falls below 80 percent?

When a command's Common Training Standards (CTS) score drops below 80 percent, it may lead to a possible reassessment by the Afloat Training Group (ATG). This reassessment typically indicates that the command needs to take corrective actions to improve performance in maintenance and training practices. The ATG's involvement ensures that the command receives guidance and support to address any deficiencies and enhance overall readiness.

This process is important because maintaining a CTS score above 80 percent is indicative of a command’s competency in executing ship maintenance and material management effectively. Falling below this threshold signals potential issues that can affect operational readiness. Rather than immediate recertification or just receiving a warning letter, the focus is on evaluating and assisting the command to implement necessary changes, which is reflected in the option indicating possible reassessment by the ATG. Thus, proactive measures are put in place to help the command improve rather than merely penalizing them.
