1. Purpose. To provide joint force, naval, and ground commanders with an
interoperability tool for use in articulating their mission requirements. 2. Cancellation. OPNAVINST 3500.38A/USCG COMDTINST M3500.1A. 3. Background. The Universal Naval Task List (UNTL) is a single source
document that combines the Navy Tactical Task List (NTTL) and the Marine
Corps Task List (MCTL). As applied to joint training and readiness
reporting, this task list provides a common language that commanders can
use to document their command warfighting requirements as mission essential
tasks (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 the Universal Joint Task List (UJTL). The
UNTL is architecturally linked to the UJTL, which includes 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 of Defense-related missions) activities, commands, and
personnel conducting joint and naval operations, training, and readiness
reporting. 5. Discussion. The UJTL and UNTL structures were developed as a
standardized tool for describing requirements for planning, conducting,
assessing, and evaluating joint and Service training. However, because the
UJTL and UNTL provide a common language and reference system for addressing
requirements, there are numerous Service and joint initiatives that can use
these 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 in reference (b). b. Use the detailed procedures for implementing Service and joint
training policy that are contained in references (c) and (d). c. Apply the concepts and methodology prescribed herein in planning,
conducting, assessing, and evaluating joint training. d. Use the UNTL to facilitate linkages between Service and joint
readiness reporting as discussed in reference (e). e. Use the guidance for implementing DRRS per references (f) and (g). 7. Responsibilities a. The Chief of Naval Operations, Commandant of the Marine Corps, and
Commandant of the Coast Guard shall provide policy sponsorship and Service
approval of Service task lists. b. In accordance with reference (b), the Chief of Naval Operations,
Commandant of the Marine Corps, and Commandant of the Coast Guard shall
support integration of the UNTL into existing joint/Service training and
readiness reporting. c. Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC) shall: (1) Serve as coordinator and primary review authority for the
UNTL. (2) Provide for a continuing review and update of the UNTL to
respond to emerging change requests, and a periodic review at least every
three years. (3) Approve Navy changes to the UNTL, including task additions
and deletions, after coordinating with fleet commanders, numbered fleet
commanders, type commanders, and the Commandant of the Coast Guard (G-RPD),
and informing the Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC). This
coordination will normally be conducted by message. (4) Submit the UNTL to the Chief of Naval Operations for approval
when the number of approved changes, or the significance of the changes
(e.g., addition of a task unrelated to current Navy missions or
incorporation of a major procedural change), dictates that a new version be
promulgated. (5) Make changes to the MCTL, as approved by the Commandant of
the Marine Corps or his designated agent. (6) Maintain and make accessible the master copy of the UNTL. (7) Upon review and coordination, forward Navy inputs to the UJTL
to the Joint Staff via the Chief of Naval Operations. d. MCCDC shall: (1) Serve as the coordinator and primary review authority for the
MCTL, found in Chapter 4 of this instruction. Director, Capability
Development Directorate (CDD) is lead agent. (2) Provide for the collection, review, and update of the MCTL in
coordination with NWDC. (3) Upon review and coordination, forward inputs and changes to
the UNTL to NWDC.
