PERSONNEL TRAINING AND OPERATIONS

	All Starfleet and attached personnel receive initial basic instruction 
on the operation and use of a low-power variant of the Type I phaser (limited 
to Setting 3). All Starfleet officers receive advanced training and are issued 
full-power Type I phasers as personal defensive arms. During Alert 
conditions aboard ship and during Away Missions, the Security Division will 
oversee the distribution of Type II units. Training for the use of Type III 
phaser rifles is available on starbases only.

	The continued proficiency training in defensive techniques is 
maintained at four-month intervals for shipboard personnel, and at one-
month intervals for Away Team candidates. Each Security Division officerÕs 
continuing phaser training progresses at varied rates, depending on 
individual specialties.  Æ
