CHAPTER THIRTEENREQUIRED ANNUAL INSPECTION/EVALUATION1310 - Requirements 1310.1 Each unit will be inspected/evaluated annually during the period 1 January to 31 March. The inspection measures unit training and administrative efficiency, and the degree to which program goals are being attained. 1310.2 The inspection format provides guidelines for the day-to-day administration and operation of the unit which, if followed, will do much to help ensure that program objectives are met. 1310.3 National Headquarters will annually review, and revise as necessary, the content and format of the inspection form to ensure that inspection/evaluation objectives are met and that it permits an objective assessment of the administrative and training efficiency of each unit inspected. All levels in the chain of command are encouraged to submit recommendations for improvement of the inspection/evaluation process. 1310.4 Regional Directors will ensure that units under their cognizance are inspected and, wherever possible, by a "Regional Inspection Team". Units not inspected/evaluated will be reported to National Headquarters with statements as to why not and recommended actions, as appropriate. Section 2: Inspection/Evaluation Procedures 1320 - General 1320.1 Inspection/evaluation procedures/instructions will be issued annually by the Executive Director and will be provided, along with the Inspection/Evaluation Report Form, to commanding officers and to Regional Directors. Section 3: The Inspection Team 1330.1 Regional Directors will normally establish the membership of inspection/evaluation teams. Unit commanding officers arranging for inspection will conform to these Regulations in establishing team membership. 1330.2 The inspection/evaluation team will consist of not less than two members, at least one of which should be a Navy/Coast Guard/NSCC active or retired officer in the rank of LCDR or above. Regional Directors and Associate Regional Directors may serve as members (and as senior members) of inspection/evaluation team. 1330.3 Members of the sponsoring Navy League Council (or other sponsoring organization) may not serve as members of the inspection/evaluation team. They may, however, participate in the personnel inspection. 1330.4 Regional Directors will ensure that each inspection team is familiar with these procedures and that standardized grading criteria is used in the inspection process. Section 4: The Inspection/Evaluation Report 1340 - General 1340.1 An advance copy of the Inspection/Evaluation Report will be forwarded to National Headquarters immediately upon completion of the inspection.

A unit found to have any of the significant discrepancies at the annual inspection will be re-inspected by the cognizant Regional Director (or designated Associate Regional Director) within six months after the date of the first inspection/evaluation. 1350.2 National ranking of units will be computed and published by National Headquarters.
