RMKS/1. Per reference (a), all Service members completing a period of
qualifying active duty must complete a SHPE. The SHPE serves primarily to:
a. Document the member's suitability for continuing service (e.g., Reserve
affiliation or potential return to active duty) as the baseline measurement
of "Fitness to Separate". "Fit to separate" status at the time of retirement
or separation does not imply that a departing Service member is devoid of
medical conditions or diagnoses, but rather indicates:
(1) The absence of a service-connected disability condition warranting
referral to the Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) (except for cases where the
PEB has already made a finding).
(2) Member meets medical retention standards, making them physically
qualified to satisfy Reserve affiliation obligations or be considered to reenter active service.
2. Per references (a) and (b), SHPEs are predicated on criteria for
retention standards, and the exam may be used for affiliation or
reaffiliation screening for up to 36 months from the exam completion date.
Because of this, it is essential that when conducting SHPEs providers truly
assess the member's medical status (diagnoses and all functional limitations)
against retention standards stated in reference (c), and document current
stability and all duty/deployment limitations associated with each of the
Service member's known diagnoses, and whether the Service member is fit for
continuing service by stating "fit to affiliate" or "fit to re-affiliate".
a. Fitness to Separate. If a provider deems a member is "fit to
separate", but the member has a condition that is not currently in a stable
phase of treatment or would render them as non-deployable if remaining on
active duty, the Service member is considered not fit to immediately
affiliate or re-affiliate with the Reserve Component (RC) and will require a
new or updated accessions physical as per para 2.b.(3) of this policy to
immediately affiliate or re-affiliate with the Reserve Component (RC), the
provider must clearly document on the SHPE that the member is "NOT fit to
affiliate" to avoid automatic clearance to affiliate or re-affiliate into the
Active or Reserve Component with conditions that do not meet retention
standards.
b. Fitness to Affiliate/Re-affiliate.
(1) For the purpose of this NAVADMIN, affiliation refers to direct
transfer from Active Component (AC) to RC immediately after separation from
the AC. Reaffiliation pertains to applicants with prior service in the Navy
or Marine Corps who are not currently contracted in the Active or Reserve
Component and desire to affiliate with the Navy or Marine Corps Reserve after
a break in service.
(2) Fit to affiliate/re-affiliate equates to Deployability Category
one (DCAT1) or two (DCAT2) as defined in reference (d).
(3) If their prior Service separation was related to a medical
condition (e.g., a PEB finding of unfitness, administrative separation for
fraudulent or defective enlistment related to a medical condition, or not
being worldwide assignable due to a medical condition) the following applies:
(a) These applicants must undergo a new or updated accessions
physical examination, following the procedures outlined in reference (e) and;
(b) To affiliate, these applicants are required to meet the accession
standards for enlistment or commission, as outlined in reference (f) or
receive a waiver of the standards.
(4) If their prior Service separation was not related to a medical
condition (e.g., separation at end of obligated service or separation at the
convenience of the government), their SHPE is current within 36 months, and
they were deemed "fit for separation" with all diagnoses noted as stable with
a deployability assessment that equates to DCAT1 or DCAT2 as documented on
the SHPE and "fit for affiliation/re-affiliation" (equating to Deployability
Category one [1] or two [2]), a new accession physical is not required unless
specifically requested by the organization through which they complete their
re-affiliation processing. Other documents may be required in lieu of a full
accession physical, such as an updated DD 2807-1.
(5) An Echelon 5 medical department shall not initiate a Medical
Retention Review for condition(s) determined in the SHPE to meet affiliation
or re-affiliation standards for the period the SHPE is valid. MP1 Manpower
Availability Status Code may be directly assigned if the following criteria
are met: SHPE has been completed within the last 12 months, and Echelon 4
Regional Medical Director reviews SHPE and confirms mobilization limiting
medical conditions are present and meet the criteria of Physically Qualified
- Mobilization Limited.
(6) If the individual has been separated for over 36 months or if
there is no available SHPE or military physical examination current within 36
months, the individual is required to obtain a new accession physical
examination and receive a "physically qualified" determination or medical
waiver to re-affiliate. Other examination timelines or requirements may
apply based on the policies of the organization through which the reaffiliation is processed.
3. Other Findings. RC Service members on active duty for more than 30 days
may be eligible for medical hold (MEDHOLD) per reference (g) and (h). RC
Service members who decline or are ineligible for MEDHOLD may be eligible for
Line of Duty Healthcare, or Line of Duty Benefits for Disability Evaluation
System if their disability was incurred or aggravated in a qualified duty
status pending adjudication by Benefits Issuing Authority per reference (h).
RC Service members may enter the DES process from either MEDHOLD or LOD if
conditions do not resolve. Limited Duty is not an administrative category
available to RC members.
4. The point of contact is BUMED N1R and can be reached at 703-681-9170.
5. This NAVADMIN remains in effect until superseded or cancelled, whichever
comes first.

NAVWAR Reserve Sailor Named National Reserve Sailor of the Year Finalist

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 17:54:59 +0000

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) Reserve Program (NWRP) recognized its Sailor of Year (SOY) at a ceremony in NAVWAR headquarters in San Diego Feb. 23. Electronics Technician (ET1) Makayla Burgan, from Palm Bay, Fla., was named NAVWAR’s Reserve Sailor of the Year, following a three-day board process. After Burgan’s recognition at the NAVWAR level, she went on to participate in the national SOY board in Washington, D.C. May 14-16.

This three-day event in San Diego took place Feb. 21-23 and was modeled after the national board, including history, heritage, physical training, social and formal interview activities. The other Reserve finalists from NAVWAR included ET1 Joseph Schmidt, ET1 Terra Ritchie, ET1 Jonathan Goetz and ET1 Christopher Kane. The Sailor of the Year program was established in 1972 by then-Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Elmo Zumwalt to recognize outstanding Atlantic and Pacific Fleet Sailors. It was later expanded to include top Shore and Reserve Force Sailors as well.

“In the NWRP, our Sailors are constantly going well above and beyond, exemplifying their dedication to enhance our warfighting capabilities through technology, as well as demonstrating the core values of honor, courage and commitment both in and out of uniform,” said Alex Aguila, command master chief of the NWRP. “Recognizing our best Sailors through the SOY program is something the Chiefs at NAVWAR and I take great pride in.” Burgan originally joined the Navy as a path towards higher education. After being active duty for six years, she signed up for the Reserve to keep serving with more flexibility. “I wanted to find a way to continue helping Sailors,” she said. “My time as a victim advocate during active duty is how I discovered I wanted to become a chaplain. They can provide counseling services and be a support system for those struggling while on deployment.” With a bachelor’s in Christian ministry and currently pursuing a master’s in divinity with a concentration in chaplaincy, she hopes to eventually join the Navy chaplain corps to be a resource to her fellow Sailors and allow them a safe place to share their experiences.

Burgan has spent all eight years of her Reserve career with NAVWAR. As part of the NAVWAR Reserve Detachment Unit Cyber Warfare Midwest in Austin, Texas, she currently works as a cybersecurity service provider (CSSP) operations analyst. She supports the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic CSSP watch-floor in Charleston, S.C. “I’ve loved being part of the NAVWAR team. I’ve had incredible opportunities to support programs like Unmanned Systems, Project Overmatch and cyber readiness, as well as to work on the Network Operations Support Team (NST),” she said. Her NAVWAR role has also taken her around the world—including to Djibouti, Italy, Hawaii and Norfolk, Va.

In D.C., Burgan and the four other finalists were brought together from U.S. Navy and Marine Corps commands across the country to face a board of Navy Reserve’s leadership to gauge the candidates’ knowledge, bearing and professionalism. They also toured historical sites such as the National Archives and the National Museum of the U.S. Navy to connect with the Navy’s heritage.

“I was humbled and excited to represent NAVWAR at a national level. Spending the week with other finalists, making connections with these like-minded Sailors was truly life changing,” she said. “My time in D.C. has renewed me as both a Sailor and a leader. I would not be here without the amazing Sailors I work with and the mentors who have guided me. Grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel.”

About NAVWAR:

NAVWAR identifies, develops, delivers and sustains information warfighting capabilities and services that enable naval, joint, coalition and other national missions operating in warfighting domains from seabed to space. NAVWAR consists of more than 11,000 civilian, active duty and reserve professionals located around the world.

AMPN/ REF A IS COMMANDER, NAVY RESERVE FORCE BATTLE ORDERS 2032.
RMKS/GENTEXT/This is a joint Commander, Navy Reserve Force Command
(CNRFC) and Commander, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC)
Tasking Order promulgating a campaign plan directing implementation
of the NECC Navy Reserve Activity (NRA) Capabilities initiative
Pilot Program (NCPP). This message provides direction for
implementation, delineates responsibilities, and provides
coordinating instructions specifically for Phase I of the NCPP.
1. SITUATION
NECC is comprised of roughly 9,000 Selected Reserve (SELRES)
equating to 51% of the Expeditionary Force, and over 20% of the
Navy's reserve warfighting capability. The majority of these SELRES
are assigned to NECC operational units that have unique and
significant Major Combat Operations (MCO) readiness requirements
which demand a high level of Force Generation (Fg). This TASKORD is
the first step in streamlining the operational control (OPCON) and
administrative control (ADCON) chains of command under a single
reporting senior, the NECC operational unit Commanding Officer.
This simplification of the chain of command is designed to
streamline competing Fg requirements, eliminate dual reporting
requirements for individual SELRES, and result in improved
individual and unit warfighting and mobilization readiness. Phase
I of the NCPP is the first step in an initiative to establish NECC
Operational Units as fully functional NRAs.
2. MISSION
Navy Reserve Forces Command will transfer NRA capabilities and
responsibilities to the NECC units identified below with a transfer
target date of 01OCT2025 for locally assigned sailors. The
transfers will occur in a systematic, planned approach, with
completion actions outlined in paragraph 3.
2.A. East Coast: MSRON 10 NRA (AUIC 30667). Initial RUICs included
in the NCPP: MSRON 10 HQ (30667), MSRON 10 Security Boat Company
Alpha (SBC A) Platoon, Jacksonville (55227), and MSRON 10 SBC A
Jacksonville (87796) only.
2.B. West Coast: MSRON 5 NRA (AUIC 4601B). Initial RUICs included
in the NCPP: MSRON 5 HQ (86941), MSRON 5 Boat Division 51 (87783),
and MSRON 5 Boat Division 52 (47116) only.
2.C. As the transfer of these capabilities occur, the expectation is
that every subordinate command and supporting Commander will
aggressively identify and correct problems within his or her area of
responsibility and complete assigned tasks with a sense of urgency
and professionalism. If a barrier is discovered that is beyond your
ability to resolve, rapidly elevate it for resolution.
3. GENTEXT/EXECUTION//
3.A. Commander's Intent. The smooth transfer of NRA capabilities to
NECC NRAs is essential in establishing ownership of assigned SELRES
and improving warfighting readiness requirements unique to NECC
operational units. CNRFC and NECC have chosen to implement the NCPP
for these selected MSRONs in order to provide authoritative data of
MSRON NRA ability to maintain the high level of administrative and
operational readiness needed for these units while balancing currently
assigned administrative, training, and maintenance requirements.
Following a period of review, expansion of NRA Capabilities to all
operational units across the NECC enterprise is envisioned.
3.A.1. Method. The NCPP will be executed in two phases.
3.A.1.A. Phase I: Visibility and Transition to full NRAs for Locally
Assigned personnel only. Phase I will begin with the provision of
select individuals at the MSRON NRAs, MESGs, and NECC with access to
both the CNRFC and NECC Readiness Dashboards detailing mobilization
readiness drilled down to the individual Sailor. Additionally,
CNRFC and NECC will execute a UMUIC realignment of locally assigned
SELRES to standalone MSRON NRAs. Finally, MSRON NRAs will assume
control of all NRC-administered Functions and Tasks (FT) in
paragraph 4.A for locally assigned personnel only. Phase I will
commence immediately following promulgation of this message.
3.A.1.B. Phase II: Expansion of MSRON NRA capability for non-locally
assigned personnel. Phase II will begin after CNRFC and NECC have
determined that all milestones referenced in paragraph 5 have been
satisfactorily met. Due to current systems limitations, MSRON NRA
oversight over non-locally assigned personnel may be accomplished by
granting global access to all systems required to administer NRA FTs.
3.A.2. End State. NECC NRAs have the capabilities needed to
administer the programmatic responsibilities currently managed by
NRCs and exercise full ownership over all assigned SELRES. The
CNRFC support model to NECC NRAs will align with the Battle Orders
2032 objective of utilizing NRCs as flexible service centers
continuing to assist MSRONs with completing SELRES readiness
requirements.
4. Phase I Implementation Tasks
4.A. MSRON NRAs will be prepared to accept additional administrative
responsibilities for all FTs for locally assigned SELRES only upon
completion of all actions in this paragraph. A comprehensive list
of FTs is located at [https://locker.private.navyreserve.navy.mil/
commandassessment/programs.
4.B. MSRON NRAs will coordinate directly with Navy Reserve Region
Readiness and Mobilization Commands (REDCOMs) Jacksonville and San
Diego and Navy Reserve Centers (NRCs) Jacksonville and North Island
to complete a comprehensive program review of the CNRF Command
Assessment Checklists and applicable instructions for all programs
to ensure staffs understand all programmatic responsibilities and
their new roles and responsibilities of administering new FTs.
MSRON NRAs will forward the results of the comprehensive program
review, along with a Plan of Actions and Milestones (POA&M)
addressing any required shortfalls or required support to the NECC
Director of Reserve Integration via the applicable Maritime
Expeditionary Security Group (MESG) no later than 45 days from
release of this message.
4.C. Where required, identified MSRON TAR staff personnel will
conduct left / right seat training with the assigned NRC to gain
experience necessary to assume control of new FTs. REDCOMs and NRCs
will support this training requirement during this training period,
between the date of message release and 01OCT2025. The MSRON NRA
Commanding Officer shall be responsible for any coordination between
the MSRON NRA and the NRC for any support required. In addition,
MSRON NRAs will ensure that required personnel attend the necessary
schools and have the required NECs prior to 01OCT2025, in order to
effectively manage FTs.
4.D. Prior to full assumption of any FT, MSRON NRAs will conduct a
final self-assessment utilizing CNRF Command Assessment checklists
for each program. Assessment results will be routed to NECC via the
applicable MESG. Assessment results will be submitted to the NECC
Director for Reserve Integration, who will recommend FT
certification to CNRFC. Upon submission, applicable CNRFC N-Codes
will validate completed self- assessments and finalize FT
certification. Checklists are available at [https://locker.private.
navyreserve.navy.mil/commandassessment/programs and will be provided
by the NECC Reserve Program Director SEPCOR following release of
this message. Referenced CNRF Command Assessment checklists are a
starting point for effective program oversight and review, however
all applicable program instructions and directions must be adhered
to. The certification of each program will ensure required
milestones are met before transitioning official ownership from the
NRC to the MSRON NRA. FT responsibility will be transferred for
Locally Assigned personnel only. Upon certification, NRCs will
relinquish responsibility for administration of selected FTs for
affected SELRES except for ongoing flexible service center support
detailed in paragraph 7.A.
4.E. MSRON Visibility of Assigned SELRES. CNRFC and NECC will
grant MSRON NRAs access to CNRFC Warfighting Readiness (WfR)
Enterprise Readiness Dashboard and NECC SELRES Mobilization
Readiness Tracker (SMRT) visibility dashboard in order for
operational unit leadership to gain the situational awareness
needed to proactively manage mobilization readiness. CNRFC and
NECC will host training for Pilot MSRONs and MESGs on dashboard
functionality at the beginning of Phase I.
4.F. UMUIC Realignment to a Standalone MSRON NRA. CNRFC and NECC
will conduct a UMUIC realignment of all locally assigned SELRES from
NRCs to MRSON NRAs in TFMMS. UMUIC realignment will result in
establishment of MSRON hierarchies in downstream systems including
NSIPS and NROWS. As systems hierarchies are established, MSRON NRAs
shall establish access to all systems needed to manage FTs and
confirm alignment of all locally assigned SELRES within.
5. Assessment Measures
5.A. Upon completion of UMUIC realignment and confirmation that
MSRON NRAs have all access to all required systems, MSRON NRAs will
execute a 180-day evaluation period, to measure the effectiveness of
Phase I efforts and FT assumption. CNRFC and NECC will conduct a
detailed review of Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) and Measures of
Performance (MOP) progress prior to implementation of Phase II. The
following measures will be used for assessment during Phase I of the
NCPP:
5.B. Measure of Effectiveness 1: Pilot program resulting in
streamlined C2 and ownership of assigned SELRES for MSRON NRAs
5.B.1. Measure of Performance 1-1: Increased participation of SELRES
assigned to MSRON NRAs: Increase in AT Completion, decrease in AT
waivers required, increase in E-AT utilization, increase in IDT-R
applications, UA/AA/Admin U decrease, overall MSRON local population
increase.
5.C. Measure of Effectiveness 2: Increased efficiency in generating
Mission Readiness for Sailors assigned to MSRON NRAs.
5.C.1. Measure of Performance 2-1: Improved rate of Qualification,
Certification and Licensure (QCL) completion for Sailors assigned to
MSRON NRAs compared to other sample cohorts.
5.C.2. Measure of Performance 2.2: SELRES Man-days saved at NRC
convertible to generation of Mission Readiness for Sailors assigned
to MSRON NRAs.
5.D. Measure of Effectiveness 3: Maintain current levels of
Mobilization Readiness after FT responsibility is shifted to MSRON
NRAs.
5.D.1. Measure of Performance 3-1: Sustained level of personnel
assigned to MSRON NRAs in a fully medically ready (FMR) status.
Baseline to be established upon current NRC medical readiness for
impacted SELRES.
5.D.2. Measure of Performance 3-2: Sustained level of ZIPSERVE Pay
Packet compliance for all personnel assigned to MSRON NRAs.
Baseline to be established upon current NRC compliance for impacted
SELRES.
5.E. Additional MOEs and MOPs specific to each FT will be
established as required and will be provided SEPCOR in order to
ensure satisfactory management of new programmatic responsibilities
by MSRON NRAs.
5.F. The NECC Reserve Program Director is responsible for working
with MSRON NRAs and MESG leadership to collect and analyze data
needed to monitor progress towards designated MOEs / MOPs. Where
data exists, a baseline for each listed metric will be established
at the beginning of Phase I to determine progress of each MOP/MOE
6. Phase II Implementation.
6.A. Upon satisfactory completion of Phase I, CNRFC and NECC will
collaborate to develop an implementation plan to grant global access
for systems needed to administer NRA capabilities to non-locally
assigned personnel at MSRON NRAs. This expansion of access is
necessitated by TRUIC-centric system hierarchies in many current
Navy systems that are not anticipated to change in the near-term.
Additional details on Phase II implementation will be promulgated
in future tasking orders.

7.A.2 COMNECC
7.A.2.A Oversee implementation of NCPP in direct coordination with
COMNAVRESFOR.
7.A.2.B Continue to provide higher echelon oversight of MESGs and
MSRON NRAs in the assumption of NRA capabilities and prepare to
assume upper echelon reserve-specific functions and support
requirements.
7.A.2.C Host a weekly implementation drumbeat with details to be
provided SEPCOR. Intent is to utilize this meeting to provide
status updates and work through barrier removal. Additional
discussion will be focused on preparations for Phase II actions
involving global systems access. Intended audience is Action
Officer level participants from NECC, CNRFC, MESGs, REDCOMs, MSRON
NRAs, and NRCs.
7.A.2.D. Facilitate the gathering and presentation to all
stakeholders of all data used for assessment measures (MOEs/MOPs)
tracking NCPP progression towards program objectives.
7A.2.E. Provide monthly status updates on NCPP progress to CNRFC.
7.A.3 REDCOM
4.A.3.A Provide higher echelon oversight of NRCs in the transfer of
NRA capabilities to MSRON NRAs.
7.A.3.B Provide reserve-specific upper echelon programmatic support
for MSRON NRAs assuming FTs in the same manner as NRCs during the
initial period of Phase I.
7.A.3.C Coordinate directly with MESGs to adjudicate issues and
support requirements in the transition of NRA Capabilities from
subordinate NRCs. This support relationship will be in place until
such time it is determined that MSRON NRAs have the access needed to
fully administer all programmatic responsibilities.
7.A.3.D. Serve In advisory capacity to provide training to MESGs in
the requirements established in CNRF Command Assessment Checklists
to be utilized in the assessment of MSRON NRA FTs.
7.A.3.E. Conduct training with MESGs on reserve-specific upper
echelon functions and support requirements with the intent of
transitioning Echelon IV responsibilities to MESGs.
7.A.4 MESG
7.A.4.A Provide higher echelon oversight of MSRON NRAs in the
assumption of NRA capabilities.
7.A.4.B Coordinate directly with REDCOMs to adjudicate issues and
support requirements to transition NRA Capabilities to MSRON NRAs.
7.A.4.C Periodically inspect MSRON FTs to ensure compliance with all
established policies, utilizing CNRF Command Assessment Checklists
as a guide. Report assessment results to the applicable REDCOM and
NECC.
7.A.4.D Continue to provide upper echelon programmatic support for
MSRON NRAs for all FTs currently managed by MSRONs, to include the
expansion to locally assigned SELRES during Phase I.
7.A.4.E. Conduct training with REDCOMs on reserve-specific upper
echelon functions and support requirements with the intent of
assuming Echelon IV responsibilities from REDCOMs.
7.A.5. NRC
7.A.5.A. Directly support MSRON NRAs in the transfer of selected
FTs for locally assigned Sailors. Support requirements may include
training assistance and access establishment assistance.
7.A.5.B. Continue to provide support to MSRON NRAs during the
transition period until MSRONs are ready to accept complete
responsibility for each of the FTs as described in paragraph 4. This
support relationship will be in place until such time it is

31 AUG 2024, SAFETY AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH TRAINING AVAILABILITY
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.
