Who designates the METCAL Program Manager?

• A. The MO via the MMP.
• B. The CO via the MMP.
• C. The SECNAV.
• D. The Fleet Commander.

Answer: (A)

The Maintenance Officer designates the METCAL Program Manager, and this appointment is formalized through the METCAL Management Plan. The MO is the authority responsible for maintenace program governance, so naming the program manager within the framework of the MMP ensures clear accountability and proper authority to lead METCAL activities. The METCAL Management Plan provides the documented basis for that appointment, outlining the manager’s responsibilities and scope. The other entities listed operate at higher or different levels of command and do not directly appoint the METCAL Program Manager in this framework.
