VIA NAVSAFECOM (TRAINPOINT) TRAINING PORTAL.//
1. Background: References (a) through (d) require all military
members under the age of 26 to receive 4 hours of traffic safety
training within 12 months of entering the Navy. This training will
convey to incoming personnel the profound responsibility associated
with operation of a Private Motor Vehicle (PMV), Navy expectations
for responsible vehicle operation and the significant impact PMV
fatalities have on operational readiness. This training will also
address general traffic safety precautions and local command traffic
safety policies as well as any unique traffic safety considerations
appropriate for the area. Ref (d) requires all personnel to utilize
the NAVSAFECOM (TRAINPOINT) portal.
2. On 31 AUG 2024, ref (e), Commander, Naval Safety Command
(COMNAVSAFECOM) completed its contractual obligation with
TRAINPOINT, and it will not be renewed. Therefore, all safety and
occupational health training provided via the Naval Safety Command
TRAINPOINT training portal has been discontinued.
3. Action: This is commander's guidance on congruent methods to
achieve training compliance until an enterprise-wide training course
is developed. NRA Commanding Officers will accomplish the following:
A. Identify all Sailors under 26 by name who have not completed the
required training per refs (a) through (e).
B. Ensure all newly assigned personnel receive a local
area/host-nation traffic safety orientation brief within 30 days of
arrival, ensuring each Sailor's status is current and captured in
ESAMS.
C. Commands will develop an interim comprehensive traffic safety
orientation brief to meet the spirit and intent of the 4 hour block
of training. This orientation brief will describe factors that
commonly lead to traffic related mishaps including speeding,
impaired driving (alcohol, illegal drugs, medications, fatigue),
distracted driving, and failure to properly wear seat belts.
The brief will also include information about local (state specific)
driving conditions, hazards, regulations, laws, and the legal
consequences and penalties for impaired or distracted driving.
Additionally, the Command Safety Officer or the collateral duty
Safety Officer will conduct in-person safety briefs during
check-in/indoc. Topics will include, local area traffic,
HOV/express lanes, clean fuel license plates, text messaging
while driving (local laws), handheld phone ban in work zones
(local laws), Military Motorcycle Operators Traffic Safety
Training and local base safety regulations.
D. I expect all leaders to have a conversation about traffic
safety with our most valuable asset, our Sailors. Let's make
sure they have the safety information they need to do to be
successful and stay alive.
4. Examples of briefing templates are posted on the CNRF Safety
SharePoint page and will be provided by the CNRF Safety Office
upon request.

RMKS/1. Purpose. This ALNAVRESFOR highlights Fiscal Year (FY) 2024
Navy Reserve Personnel Program Excellence (RPPE) force trends and
behaviors and outlines FY-25 Reserve Personnel Program Excellence
Award (RPPEA) benchmark criteria.
2. Background. The Navy Reserve serves as a critical strategic
advantage for America's Warfighting Navy. As Reserve Sailors advance
in their careers, it is essential to retain top talent to strengthen
our Navy team. The Reserve Personnel Performance Excellence Award
(RPPEA) recognizes commands that prioritize their Sailors and meet
or exceed the established recruiting and retention benchmarks. The
FY-25 RPPEA will focuson retaining skilled and experienced
warfighters, recognizing that as their expertise and leadership
are critical to delivering integrated naval
power and advancing our maritime superiority through the
unique capabilities and strengths of the Navy Reserve.
3. FY-24 Trends and Behavior. FY-24 retention results were
outstanding and reflected your considerable efforts in recruiting
and retaining talented Sailors. Our reenlistment rates Zones A
through C, whichincludes Reserve affiliation (RA) were: 77.3%.
The Navy Reserve exceeded the FY-24 benchmark in a challenging
environment due to strong leadership at all levels, largely
accomplished through deliberate and proactive
talent and community management. In FY-25, the Navy Reserve will
continue to improve on these retention trends.
4. FY-25 Retention Environment. The United States Navy remains
focused on preparing for the possibility of conflict with China by
2027 and enhancing our long term advantage. When we retain
experienced and proficient Sailors, we retain the knowledge and
skills that an operationally ready, warfighting-focused force
requires to fight and win in conflict. Effective leadership and
attention to administrative programs, such as the annual Career
Information Program Review (CIPR), can significantly enhance the
warfighting readiness of the Navy Reserve. Starting our Sailors on
the right foot with Command Indoctrination ("INDOC") programs,
providing sponsorship throughout their careers, and holding regular
Career Development Boards (CDBs) provides context for Sailors and
keeps them engaged and eager to reach the next level in their
careers. Developing experienced and proficient Sailors ensures we
retain the knowledge and skills necessary to train the next
generation of warfighters.
5. FY-25 Benchmarks. The RPPEA award is competitive by design. The
award recognizes commands that produce stronger results and increase
engagement in seven different criteria impacting our Sailors and the
warfighting readiness of the Navy Reserve.
a. Benchmark: 80% aggregate reenlistment rate with Reserve
Affiliation for Zones A through C. To affiliate with our Selected
Reserve Force shows our Sailor's level of commitment as well as the
commitment of leadership to encourage continued service in other
components.
b. Benchmark: "Compliant" on the annual Career Information
Program Review (CIPR).
c. Benchmark: 90% Veterans Opportunity to Work (VOW) Act
compliance rate.
d. Benchmark: Zero unresolved Navy Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE)
discrepancies for Selected Reserve exam cycles 115 (Aug 24) and 116
(Feb 25) and Active Duty exam cycles 264 (Sep 24), 266 (Jan 25) and
267 (Mar 25).
e. Benchmark: Completion of Command Climate Assessment and ISIC
debrief per reference (f).
(1) A minimum of one climate assessment must be completed each
fiscal year.
(2) The command climate assessment must not take longer than
60 days, or 110 days for NRAs, from the start of the Defense
Organizational Climate Survey (DEOCS) to the commander's debrief of
the command.
f. Benchmark: 90% timely Drill (IDT pay) adjudication.
g. Benchmark: 95% timely Career Development Board completion for
Reporting, 24 month, and 48 month for staff Sailors E1-E9.
6. Reserve Personnel Program Excellence Award. The annual RPPEA is
built on the tenets in references (c) through (e), Brilliant on the
Basics. Commands will be RPPEA eligible if they meet or exceed the
FY-25 program benchmarks cited in paragraph 5.
a. Reenlistment Rate Computation Exceptions. Commands with less
than 80% aggregate reenlistment rate with RA, and have 100% VOW
compliance plus meet or exceed all other benchmarks will remain
eligible for RPPEA.
b. Loss transactions on a Sailor transferred from a command due
to pending separation, medical hold or a legal hold will reflect on
the command the Sailor was last attached to in an accounting code
100 status.
c. Commands with zero qualifying transactions will remain
eligible for RPPEA.
d. Waiver requests for any award benchmark in paragraph 5 must
be submitted in writing via the respective Echelon III command with
specific justification. Echelon III commands will consider waivers
for system discrepancies and false reporting only. Waiver requests
must be signed by the Commanding Officer. Requests not positively
endorsed at any level will not be considered. Waiver approval
authority resides with Commander, Navy Reserve Force (CNRF). Waiver
requests that aim to reduce benchmarks to meet award eligibility
will not be approved.
e. TYCOM and direct report counselors will evaluate and submit
eligible commands to the CNRF Career Counselor no later than
12 January 2026.
7. RPPEA Announcement and Recognition. CNRF will announce FY-25
RPPEA recipients following the consolidation of Echelon III and
direct reporting command submissions no later than 31 January 2026.
Following the announcement message, awardees may fly the Retention
Excellence Award pennant to signify receipt of the RPPEA and may
paint their command anchor(s) gold until release of the following
year's award announcement message. CNRF will provide commendation
certificates for all qualifying commands.

cohesion, positive command climate and enhanced warfighting
effectiveness. Your dedication and commitment to excellence is
exemplary.
7. I look forward to seeing more commands join the ranks of our

other's strengths, I'm confident that we can accelerate our progress
and achieve even greater levels of excellence in the years to come.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
REF B IS COMNAVRESFORNOTE 1570, SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE FOR
ASSESSMENT OF WARFIGHTING READINESS IN FITNESS REPORTS AND
EVALUATIONS OF LEADERS ASSIGNED TO NAVY RESERVE READINESS UNITS//
RMKS/1. In support of CY25 (Junior Enlisted) and FY26
(Senior Enlisted) advancement eligibility deadlines identified
in Ref A, this ALNAVRESFOR provides guidance on Reserve Force
(RESFOR) execution of the Enlisted Leader Development (ELD)
program, change to Enlisted Advancement Eligibility Requirements
(EAER) reporting, pre-requisites for course registration, and RESFOR
N7 ADT-Schools funding. It also highlights the shift from the Navy
Leadership and Ethics Command (NLEC) SharePoint Online (SPO)
Portal, to the Enterprise Navy Training Reservation System
(eNTRS) for all Reserve Force ELD course advertisement and quota
control functions.
2. The RESFOR EAER Program Manager generates monthly EAER reports
of completion metrics for ELD, Primary Military Knowledge
Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE), and Senior Enlisted Academy (SEA)
advancement eligibility requirements. ELD Regional Coordinators,
ELD Managers, and UMUIC/TRUIC leaders can identify training
deficiencies by name, prioritize enrollment by Time in Rate (TIR)
eligibility, and are encouraged to leverage these powerful tools
during Planning Boards for Training (PB4T).
A. Ref B outlines the requirement for Navy Reserve Readiness
Units (NRRU) to document Warfighting Metrics, to include
Professional Development such as ELD, PMK-EE, and SEA, on
CO/OIC FITREPs and CSEL Evals.
3. ELD Courses of Instruction. ELD was designed to develop the
character of ALL Enlisted Sailors - Active and Reserve. The
operational and administrative challenges of the Reserve Sailor
mirror similar challenges of the Active Sailor, and both are
entitled to outstanding leader development.
A. The Command Navy Leader Development Facilitator (C-NLDF)
certification course is held at the NLEC Schoolhouses in Dam Neck,
VA and San Diego, CA. Both NLEC and RESFOR coordinate Mobile
Training Teams (MTT), which are scheduled for areas that do not
have enough facilitators. CPO-NLDF courses are conducted
exclusively by NLEC MTT's, and coordinated by the RESFOR EAER
PM and Region Coordinator. All C-NLDF and CPO-NLDF courses are
viewable in CANTRAC and can be applied for in eNTRS.
B. Course Length. ELD courses are formal courses of instruction
and shall NOT be shortened, edited, or otherwise altered. Days of
instruction shall not be broken up; course days shall run
concurrently. It is highly encouraged to coordinate courses with
regard to SELRES participation over weekends when practical (e.g.
ALDC - Thursday through Sunday), and to locate classrooms away from
the Navy Reserve Activity (NRA) during scheduled drill weekends to
maintain Sailor focus on ELD course curriculum.
C. Course Facilitators. Two qualified facilitators are required
to conduct all ELD courses whether at NLEC or a local command.
Like students, both facilitators are assigned TAD to the course, and
shall not be otherwise tasked. Only personnel qualified as a Master
Navy Leader Development Facilitator (M-NLDF) are authorized to
qualify other personnel to facilitate ELD courses.
D. Coalition Approach. Qualified C-NLDF/CPO-NLDF's and ELD
leaders throughout the fleet are empowered to coordinate with
neighboring commands to work together to pool resources such as
facilitators, classrooms, students, and supplies. "ELD Leaders"
is an MS Teams Group which hosts thousands of facilitators,
local managers, and senior enlisted leaders, and provides private
channels based on regional geography and Fleet concentration areas
to coordinate coalition-based course logistics.
E. Virtual Courses. NLEC Schoolhouses offer FLDC, ILDC, and ALDC
virtual courses, which can be found in CANTRAC, and applied for via
eNTRS. CPO-LDC, C-NLDF, and CPO-NLDF are not offered virtually.
Virtual courses are intended for Sailors in austere locations who
have no reasonable opportunity to attend an ELD course in-person.
RESFOR C-NLDFs and CPO-NLDFs are not qualified to host courses
virtually, and shall only host courses in person.
4. Migration to CeTARS/CANTRAC/eNTRS. RESFOR successfully
migrated to CeTARS/eNTRS/CANTRAC in 2021 and remains the primary
means to create and advertise ELD classes and manage quotas.
A. RESFOR ELD managers, hosts, and facilitators should work with
their REGION coordinator to migrate their courses, and drive all ELD
efforts through the "ELD Leaders" MS Teams channel and eNTRS.
ELD Courses built in eNTRS boost enrollment, increase graduation
metrics, and alleviate hosts/facilitators of the burden of quota
management. SELRES ELD enrollment should be local, if unable then
within region and if unable, then within neighboring region.
B. Prerequisites. Sailors shall complete their rank appropriate
PMK-EE (e.g. E4 shall complete PMK-EE for E5). Applicants without
PMK-EE will be waitlisted to provide time for completion, and the
quota request will be cancelled if PMK-EE is not complete 30 days
prior to course convening. Chief Petty Officers (E7) must complete
CPO-LDC prior to attending C-NLDF. SCPO/MCPOs who wish to
qualify
as CPO-NLDF (to facilitate CPO-LDC) must first qualify as C-NLDF.
C. SELRES students that attend ELD courses managed via the SPO
Portal must communicate with their ELD Manager, Regional
Coordinator, or RESFOR ELD team as soon as they have a seat
confirmation in order to have a Navy Reserve Orders Writing System
(NROWS) requirement created by the RESFOR ELD team. Enrollment
viewing in SPO ELD courses is not accessible to RESFOR and orders
will not be generated unless communicated with. Upon graduation
via the SPO courses the facilitator and or student must e-mail their
graduation certificate or graduation roster to one of the
following NLEC ELD distros: eld-nlec-west-rosters(at)us.navy.mil
(ALL E4 TO E6 ELD ROSTERS: WEST COAST, JAPAN, SINGAPORE,
KOREA,
GUAM, ALASKA, HAWAII) / eld-nlec-east-rosters(at)us.navy.mil
(ALL E4 TO E6 ELD ROSTERS: EAST COAST, EUROPE, DJIBOUTI,
SPAIN)
/ eld-nlec-nwpt-rosters(at)us.navy.mil (ALL CPO-LDC ROSTERS).
As of 1 September 2024, manual FLTMPS ELD entry
is sundowned and can only be entered into Sailors Electronic
Training Jacket (ETJ) via the above NLEC email distros.
5. Funding Options for Drilling SELRES. RESFOR N7 ADT-Schools
funding remains the preferred funding source for ELD, but Sailors
may use various funding options to support ELD course attendance
(e.g. Command AT, ADT, IDT, or ATPs can be used at the Command's
discretion).
A. Active Duty. TAR and SELRES on Active Duty can use no-cost
TDY, or Command travel funds as appropriate.
6. Points of Contact

2. Background.
a. In September 2021, a new construct for mobilization named
Adaptive Mobilization (AM) was conceptually approved by the Chief
of Naval Personnel (CNP) and the Chief of Navy Reserve (CNR). AM
was designed to satisfy both steady-state and mass activation
requirements and encompasses all processes of distributed
activation (DA), distributed mobilization (DM), distributed
de-mobilization (DDM) and distributed de-activation (DDA). The
AM construct was codified via reference (a).
b. In September 2024, the First Day Letter Memorandum from
the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) to Chief of Navy Reserve and
Commander, Navy Reserve Force, outlined four key priorities:
(1) Warfighting Readiness, (2) Recruiting and Retention,
(3) Mobilization, and (4) Quality of Service. Under the third
priority of "mobilization," CNO recognized the Navy Reserve's
progress toward building a scalable, repeatable framework for
mobilizing 50,000 Sailors in 30 days has been transformational.
Codified via reference (e) in the CNO's First Day Letter Memorandum,
CNO directed the capability to mobilize 50,000 Sailors in 30 days to
be firmly established by 2027.
c. Identifying barriers needing to be removed or resources
needing to be applied in order to meet this requirement are crucial,
as well as incorporating frequent rehearsals to hone the skills
necessary to ensure success. CNRF regularly conducts MOBEXs to test
the Navy's ability to mass-activate RC Sailors and units.
These stress tests have solidified lessons learned, leading to
significant process improvements over the last three years.
d. In FY-25, CNRF directed the planning and execution of five
MOBEXs to develop, test, and evaluate AM processes per references
(a) and (b). The force must continue to execute and leverage
readiness improvement initiatives incorporated in references (f),
(g) and (h).
e. FY-25 MOBEXs are designed to evaluate the progress of driving
readiness across the force as well as develop and improve AM
processes. MOBEX 25-3 is the third exercise in the series for FY-25.
3. Commander's Intent.
a. CNRF executes AM to mobilize designated personnel for both
(1) mass activation in support of strategic competition as well as
(2) steady-state and emergent ad hoc augmentation.
b. Exercises evaluate and improve mobilization processes and
readiness for strategic competition. MOBEX 25-3 will utilize
processes from references (i) and (j) for assessing the NRAs
ability to properly screen and utilize ZipServe in NMPS validation
processing.
c. Participation is directed by CNRF and mandatory for all
commands listed in para 1 of this EXORD.

RMKS/1. The Navy Reserve Force is the Strategic Advantage of the
world's most powerful navy. We are prepared to mobilize a
world-wide deployable Force within 30 days, delivering depth at
scale, trained and ready to contribute to the fight. We are focused
on CNO's two strategic ends: (1) readiness for the possibility of
conflict with the People's Republic of China and (2) enhancing the
Navy's long-term advantage. Navy Reserve Strategic Advantage (NRSA) establishes my strategic
initiatives and formalizes the force-wide
tasking we will accomplish to sustain our Navy's warfighting
preeminence.
NRSA supersedes reference (a), Navy Reserve
Fighting Instructions, and builds on CNO's strategic direction in references (b) and (c). Reference (b),
America's Warfighting Navy, articulates CNO's priorities: Warfighting, Warfighters, and the Foundation
that supports them. Building on these priorities, the Navy Reserve will POSTURE for Warfighting,
STRENGTHEN our Warfighters, and ACCELERATE refining the Foundation to ready ourselves for both
near-term conflict and long-term advantage. My NRSA priorities, POSTURE, STRENGTHEN, and
ACCELERATE, are the strategic initiatives that will guide our e orts.
I establish the NRSA Strategic Advisory Board (SAB) to lead the strategic initiatives under the following
leadership.
3.a. SAB Chair: RADM Doug Sasse
3.a.1. POSTURE Strategic Initiative lead: RDML Marcus Lockard
3.a.2. STRENGTHEN Strategic Initiative lead: RDML Dave Barnes
3.a.3. ACCELERATE Strategic Initiative lead: RDML Jeff Jurgemeyer
I task the SAB with curating and maturing ideas that support
the strategic initiatives and their desired e ects
(following below). Additionally, the Board will coordinate with the
O ice of the Chief of Navy Reserve (OCNR) sta (echelon I), sta
of Commander, Navy Reserve Force (CNRF) (echelon II), echelon III sta s, and the National Navy
Reserve Policy Board to plan and implement NRSA initiatives. RADM Ste en, Deputy Commander,
Navy Reserve Force, will lead CNRF coordination with the SAB and implementation steps, upon my
approval of the various strategic concepts. CAPT Dante Terronez (OPNAV N0955 Branch Head) is the
Executive Secretary (ES) for the NRSA projects. The ES will track NRSA projects and progress, liaise
with the SAB and CNRF, coordinate CNR's updates with the responsible o ices, and map project work
with respect to CNR's intent and guidance to the SAB.
I task the SAB to coordinate with appropriate stakeholders,
gather data, and develop recommended courses of action (COAs) for each of the desired strategic
effects described in section 5 below.
The SAB will utilize the following additional guidance:
4.a. For each desired strategic e ect, provide the following analysis and recommendations:
4.a.1. Define the organizational benefits, increase in warfighting readiness (in terms of mobilization
readiness, mission readiness, or both), pros, and cons, assuming full implementation.
4.a.1.a. Define impediments and their impacts on full implementation. Assess the degree to which
impediments can be overcome by engagement at the echelon I or II levels. Describe the anticipated
echelon I or II engagement actions required to overcome the impediments.
4.a.1.b. To the extent the Board assesses that full implementation is not likely, define the possible
level of implementation, given
the expected impediments. Concurrent with the anticipated level of implementation, define the
benefits, increase in warfighting readiness, pros, and cons, associated with that amount of
implementation.
4.a.2. Define the anticipated funding required to implement, along with return on investment (cost
e ectiveness per measurable unit of warfighting readiness increase). Provide funding estimates
across the anticipated timeline of implementation (fiscal year, FYDP, or two-FYDP time span).
Assess the level of e ectiveness or increase in warfighting readiness achieved, given the anticipated
investment. 4.a.3. Assess executability, in terms of cost, timeline, and feasibility.
4.a.4. Guided by the information above and recommended course of action, assess the desirability of
implementing.
4.a.5. Develop proposed Measures of E ectiveness (MOEs) and Measures of Performance (MOPs)
for each task.
b. Use the desired strategic e ects and potential implementation methods listed in reference (d) as
starting points and guides for COA development. Specifically, the implementation methods are
provided as possible transformative actions that could achieve the strategic e ects. However, these
are neither prescriptive nor directive. The SAB has wide latitude to explore various options and to
propose alternate desired strategic e ects. The Board should explore the methods described in ref
(d), but may deviate, once informed of the pros, cons, benefits, and return on investment of each.
NRSA strategic initiatives and desired strategic effects.
5.a. POSTURE strategic initiative. The POSTURE team will devise and deliver capabilities that
enhance and accelerate the ability to activate the Navy Reserve Force for contingencies and crises.
5.a.1. Mobilization (MOB) Imperative: The Navy can activate the entire Navy Reserve Force within
30 days, including all processes conducted by external stakeholders.
5.a.2. Navy Reserve Centers (NRCs) as MOB Readiness Centers: NRCs are specialized exclusively
in MOB readiness, with mission readiness hosted entirely at Centers of Excellence (COEs).
5.a.3. Coordinated Navy-Civilian Medical and Dental Portability: Selected Reservists (SELRES)
maximize medical/dental readiness through combination of coordinated civilian and uniformed
readiness options.
5.a.4. Improved Warfighting Readiness: (1) Mobilization readiness
is tiered by readiness requirements, according to MOB billet, location, physical tasking, and access
to medical and dental services at the mission site, and (2) Mission readiness is
streamlined from Fleet requirements to training accomplishment, tracking, funding, exercising, and
certifying for warfighting.
5.b. STRENGTHEN strategic initiative. The STRENGTHEN team will build consistency, quality, and
incentivization into TAR and SELRES
career paths to increase warfighting readiness.
5.b.1. Enhance the Drilling Experience: The Force breaks down barriers to participation, incorporates
career incentives, and simplifies administrative requirements.
5.b.2. Career Specialization: Reserve Sailors are more experienced
in specific competencies.
5.b.3. Professional Development: Leadership skills are developed and enhanced throughout a
Sailor's career.
5.b.4. Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR) Career Milestones: TAR career path and
detailing incentivizes and
facilitates achieving career milestones.
b.5. NRC Commanding O icer (CO) / O icer-in-Charge (OIC) Lead-Follow Relationships: Large NRC
COs oversee operations of smaller NRCs.
5.c. ACCELERATE strategic initiative. The ACCELERATE team will plan, coordinate, and implement
initiatives that maximize Navy Reserve Force utilization across the Navy Total Force and Joint Force.
5.c.1. Units of Action: The Navy Reserve Force is organized into units of action that are employable in
steady-state operations and in a high-end conflict, mobilization scenario.
5.c.2. Centers of Excellence (COEs) and Enterprises: Enterprises are warfighting communities that are
organized within COEs for training and mission readiness.
5.c.3. Cloud-Based/Integrated Applications: All administrative functionality is online in the cloud and
integrated across all Navy and Navy Reserve systems for maximum e ectiveness.

2. Background.
a. In September 2021, a new construct for mobilization named
Adaptive Mobilization (AM) was conceptually approved by the Chief of
Naval Personnel (CNP) and the Chief of Navy Reserve (CNR). AM was
designed to satisfy both steady-state and mass activation
requirements and encompasses all processes of distributed activation
(DA), distributed mobilization (DM), distributed de-mobilization
(DDM), and distributed de-activation (DDA). The AM construct was
codified via reference (a).
b. In FY-25, CNRF directed the planning and execution of five
MOBEXs to develop, test, and evaluate AM processes per references
(a) and (b). The force must continue to execute and leverage
readiness improvement initiatives incorporated in references (c),
(d), and (e).
c. FY-25 MOBEXs are designed to evaluate the progress of
readiness improvement across the force as well as develop and
improve AM processes. MOBEX 25-1 and MOBEX 25-2 are the first
tranche of exercises in the series for FY-25.
3. Commander's Intent.
a. CNRF executes AM to mobilize designated personnel for both
(1) mass activation in support of strategic competition as well
as (2) steady-state and emergent ad hoc augmentation.
b. Exercises evaluate and improve mobilization (MOB) processes
and readiness for strategic competition. MOBEX 25-1 will utilize
processes of references (f) and (g) to test the draft tiered
administrative checklist and to update the execution timeline for
mass MOB. Additionally, the objective of MOBEX 25-1 TTX is to
provide risk informed assessment and recommendations to the Navy
Mobilization Working Group (NMWG)to improve this portion of the
adaptive mobilization process. MOBEX 25-2 will utilize processes of
references (f) and (g) to explore the feasibility of creating a unit
of action capability in Navy-Marine Corps Mobilization Processing
System (NMCMPS) to draft mass MOB orders.
c. Participation is directed by CNRF and mandatory for all
commands listed in para 1.a of this EXORD.
4. Execute.

By CDR Michelle L. Burt, BUPERS-352, Reserve Enlisted Community Manager and CDR Johnathon D. Wainwright, OPNAV N0951C, Office of the Chief of Navy Reserve Personnel Policy Lead

WASHINGTON, DC –
The Enlisted Sustainability Initiative (ESI) was approved in November 2022 as a multi-year effort to review and overhaul our Enlisted Force Structure. ESI supports the "Develop the Force" line of effort in the Navy Reserve Fighting Instructions (NRFI). SELRES enlisted Sailors play our most crucial role in maintaining and enhancing warfighting readiness. ESI aims to ensure the force structure not only meets current demands but also positions the Navy Reserve for future success.

What is ESI?

The ESI focuses on re-optimizing the SELRES enlisted paygrade structure. The ESI found an imbalance of journeymen (E5 and E6) and a shortage of supervisors (E7 and above) hampering advancement opportunity, and subsequently retention rates. By addressing this, the ESI seeks to stabilize community health and enhance retention, which directly impacts warfighting readiness.

The initiative creates an increase in E7, E8, and E9 authorizations in parity with the rank structure of the active component, creating fluid career continuity from E6 and below to the Chiefs’ Mess. This shift aims to create more opportunities for long-term advancement, encouraging Sailors to stay Navy and grow within the Reserve, regardless of the point in their career when they affiliated.

This shift aims to create more opportunities for long-term advancement, encouraging Sailors to stay Navy and grow within the Reserve.

In alignment with ESI, recruitment will shift to more prior service accessions over time. The ESI capitalizes on prior service Sailors, who bring unique, invaluable fleet experience and knowledge, crucial for mission success. By leveraging prior service training and skills, immediate warfighting capability is enhanced.

The cost of this initiative, approximately $6.8 million annually, is a necessary investment in the Navy Reserve's future. It ensures that as Sailors advance, they have clear pathways and robust support, making their service in the Navy Reserve both fulfilling and impactful. Community leaders are deeply committed to overhauling their respective communities, with an anticipated completion by FY25. Completion of this optimization strengthens the collective force.

Warfighting readiness remains the number one priority. The ESI is not just about numbers; it's about ensuring the Navy Reserve has a capable, motivated, and well-structured force ready to meet any challenge. Higher retention and increased advancement opportunities mean a more experienced and prepared force, ready to support missions at home and abroad.

Bottom Line:

The commitment of SELRES enlisted Sailors to the Navy Reserve is invaluable. The ESI aims to honor that commitment by providing the structure and opportunities they deserve. Together, the Navy Reserve will enhance warfighting readiness, ensuring it remains a formidable and ready force. This initiative also facilitates a continuum of service through a full thirty-year career, all the way to Master Chief Petty Officer. ESI marks a pivotal step in building a stronger, more resilient Navy Reserve Force.

REF D IS RESPERSMAN 7220-010, RESERVE PAY, WHICH ESTABLISHED
POLICY AND PROCEDURES IN THE PROPER ADMINISTRATION AND EXECUTION OF
RESERVE PAY FOR RESERVE SAILORS WHILE IN A DRILL STATUS.//
RMKS/1. This message updates the current Reserve Sailor pay
resolution process by introducing a worksheet to increase resolution
efficiency. To best support Reserve Sailors experiencing pay issues
the Navy Reserve Force has fully integrated with Navy Personnel
Command's My Navy Career Center (MNCC). This integration established
Tier 2 role users to reserve echelon 4 commands, ensuring full
engagement of the Chain of Command (CoC). This integration with MNCC
has helped identify system issues, administrative barriers, and
process alignment issues, enabling improved responsiveness and
resolution for reserve Sailors. Additionally, Navy Reserve
established the Reserve Command Pay and Personnel Administrator
(CPPA) Pro-to-Pro Cell within MNCC to address reserve CPPA questions
with NRA CPPAs.
2. As always, pay issues should be addressed and resolved at the
lowest level possible following the process described in paragraphs
6 and 7. When resolution is not successful at the lowest level,
initial robust and accurate MNCC trouble tickets enable expedited
reviews and resolutions. Close teamwork between reserve Sailors,
reserve unit leadership, and the Naval Reserve Activity (NRA) staff
is critical to optimize ticket submission and resolution.
NRA CPPA/Reserve Pay (RESPAY) clerks will submit trouble tickets on
behalf of Sailors with all required supporting documents and
background information to ensure cases are actionable upon receipt.
3. Effective immediately, all RESPAY trouble tickets will be
submitted to MNCC via the process described in paragraphs 4
through 7 to ensure proper echelon 3 and 4 engagement and that
data metrics are captured to identify trends and issues.
4. Reserve Force MNCC Case Submission Worksheet. All CPPA/RESPAY
clerks will use the Reserve Force MNCC Case Submission Worksheet to
email pay issues to MNCC. This will ensure reserve cases are sent to
respective echelon 4 queues for oversight and action with the
correct stakeholder.
5. CPPA/RESPAY clerks will submit MNCC trouble tickets via email to
askmncc.fct(AT)navy.mil utilizing the 'Reserve Force MNCC Case
Submission Worksheet' and supporting applicable Key Supporting
Documentation (KSD).
6. For reserve Sailors in an Active Duty (AD) status, the AD
command's administrative department and CPPA are the primary pay
Points of Contact (POCs) who will work to resolve pay issues and
engage MNCC as needed. When the AD command is the Sailor's Unit
Mobilization Unit Identification Code (UMUIC) gaining command, the
UMUIC leadership shall also be engaged for assistance.
7. For reserve Sailors in a reserve status, the reserve CoC has
primary responsibilities.
a. Reserve Sailor:
(1) Inform the Unit/Training Reserve UIC (TRUIC) CoC of the
pay issue (IDT, bonus, delayed AD pay issue, travel claim, etc.)
immediately upon discovery.
(2) Engage the NRA CPPA/RESPAY clerk or responsible office.
(3) If the NRA is unable to resolve locally, confirm that
the NRA submitted an MNCC emailed or a Navy Standard Integrated
Personnel System (NSIPS) trouble ticket on your behalf.
(4) Engage the NRA for status updates.
Note: Sailors will receive periodic automated updates on case status
when reserve cases are submitted to MNCC.
b. Unit (TRUIC) CoC (Echelon 6):
(1) Engage with the impacted reserve Sailor regarding the
case status until fully resolved.
(2) Engage NRA leadership to ensure awareness and that the
issue has been logged/submitted.
c. NRA (Echelon 5):
(1) NRA CPPAs/RESPAY clerks will initiate immediate
corrective action within five business days, per ref (d).
(2) NRA will, as able, resolve pay issues locally using
available systems/processes (e.g. NSIPS help desk trouble ticket,
MNCC Reserve CPPA Pro-to-Pro Cell).
(3) If an issue cannot be resolved at the NRA-level or an
NSIPS trouble ticket is taking longer than 14-days to resolve,
escalate the issue by submitting a trouble ticket to MNCC per
paragraph 5.
d. Echelon 4:
(1) Ensure immediate corrective action is taken on all
regional MNCC Trouble Tickets in queue.
(2) Validate supporting documents and forward submitted
MNCC trouble tickets to responsible resolution stakeholders for
action.
(3) Provide weekly case updates within MNCC Tier II,
ensuring the Sailor and NRA POCs are updated with case status.
e. CNRFC RPAT (Echelon 3):
(1) The mission of the RPAT is to advocate for 100%
resolution of all pay-related reserve inquires.
(2) Review trends to identify system and process
issues to improve pay efficiencies across the force.
(3) Ensure timely corrective action is taken on all
MNCC trouble tickets forwarded from Echelon 4 queues.
8. Point of contact for Ech 3 and 4 Manpower representatives is
CNRFC RESPAY via "CNRFC N11 and Ech 3/4 Team" in Microsoft Teams.
9. Point of contact for Ech 5 clerks is Ech 4 RESPAY
representative.
