Patrol Order Management System (POMS)
POMS is an automated system for issuing Auxiliary patrol orders using AUXDATA 24 hour delayed input, regarding a coxswain and facility certification for requesting orders.  Without required data, POMS will automatically purge order requests. 

     POMS user guides and installation instructions: Statronics, Inc. website.

Requesting Orders
The POMS development contractor has an on-line video which is required if the member has not accessed POMS before.  A facility owner, coxswain, or crewmember, is termed an "online CG-5132/7030 user" in POMS. CG-5132 is the formal patrol order form, and ANSC 7030 is the AUXDATA mission report form. Both will be prepared within the POMS system which may be saved and printed out. 
A valid email address recorded in AUXDATA is required for the POMS users. Request orders, using POMS,  at least one week in advance of the patrol, stating intentions for patrol.  Before patrol gets under way, verify all crew members are certified in AUXDATA by contacting the IS officer.

Reporting
 
Both CG 5132 Reimbursement Requests (with your signature) and ANSC 7030, are to be submitted  within 30 days to SECTOR San Francisco or Group Humboldt.  ANSC 7030 Mission Activity Report needs to be sent to your FSO-IS for AUXDATA entry.
Before sending, verify:
  * ANSC 7030 has remarks section completed
  * Signatures in blue on both the Operator's and Claimant's blocks
  * Report all authorized expenditures
  * Include all receipts for line items over $75
