Which role is responsible for overseeing PQS development and monitoring?

• A. Command Training Officer.
• B. Safety Officer.
• C. Logistics Officer.
• D. Medical Officer.

Answer: (A)

PQ S development and monitoring is handled by the Command Training Officer. This role coordinates all training within the command, keeps the PQS program current, approves new PQS tasks, and tracks sailors’ qualification progress to ensure they meet required standards before they perform specific duties or advance. The Command Training Officer works with division officers and training teams to align PQS with fleet needs and annual qualification requirements. The Safety Officer focuses on safety programs and risk management, the Logistics Officer handles provisioning and material readiness, and the Medical Officer oversees medical and health readiness—areas that support overall readiness but do not manage the PQS program itself.
