ROUTINE R 261901Z JUL 22 MID200080057348U FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 168/22 MSGID/NAVADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/CNO/JUL// SUBJ//NAVPLAN 2022// RMKS/1. Shipmates, I am proud to announce the release of Navigation Plan 2022. This document surveys the state of our Navy and provides direction on our future. Navigation Plan 2022 builds upon the solid foundation set by last year's NAVPLAN and takes into account three significant developments. 2. First, earlier this year, the Secretary of Defense released the 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS), which sets out how the Department of Defense (DoD) will contribute to advancing and safeguarding U.S. national interests. The NDS is clear about the formidable challenges our adversaries pose to the international rules-based order, as evidenced by China's and Russia's blatant attempts to reshape the security environment to their advantage. In response to these challenges, the NDS introduces "integrated deterrence" as a unifying principle for the DoD. Additionally, the NDS identifies "campaigning" and "building enduring advantages" as the additional ways through which we will achieve our Nation's goals. In support of these ways, the NDS calls for updated operational concepts, including the Joint Warfighting Concept (JWC), to align capabilities and missions across the Services. Our Navy plays a unique and critical role in supporting the NDS: a ready, combat-credible, forward deployed fleet is the most potent, flexible, and versatile instrument of military power. Nested under the Secretary of the Navy's Strategic Guidance and the Tri-Service Maritime Strategy, Navigation Plan 2022 outlines how we will continue adapting to the security environment in order to fulfill our singular role as part of the Joint Force defending our Nation. 3. Second, Navigation Plan 2022 accounts for the progress we have made and what we have learned as a result of the NAVPLAN Implementation Framework (NIF). The NIF has accelerated our progress in 18 separate focus areas, but we still have much work to do. To continue delivering the outcomes called for in the NIF, Navigation Plan 2022 identifies a supported commander for each objective, promoting alignment, accountability, coordination, and collaboration. We have made significant progress this past year, breaking through stovepipes and turning priorities into tangible action. However, we must accelerate key capabilities, such as our ability to shoot, maneuver, defend, and resupply, while building momentum in additional critical areas, including: live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) training, the Naval Operational Architecture, artificial intelligence, and unmanned systems. 4. Third, Navigation Plan 2022 directs necessary course corrections to the design of our future force. Six overarching Force Design Imperatives-- Distance, Deception, Defense, Distribution, Delivery, and Decision Advantage- -will guide the development of our naval capabilities and enable us to employ our warfighting concepts. These imperatives will feed an "engine" of strategy that will better inform our budget choices-leveraging wargaming, analysis, research, experimentation, and disruptive technology. The Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Warfighting Development (OPNAV N7) will become the supported commander responsible for developing, maintaining, and refining the Navy's Force Design vision. A collaborative, continuous, and iterative Force Design process will energize our modernization efforts and help us maintain our maritime advantage in this critical decade and beyond. 5. Ultimately, Navigation Plan 2022 reflects the Get Real, Get Better call to action we are now adopting throughout our Navy. The rapidly increasing capabilities of our adversaries and their demonstrated intent to threaten our national interests demand that we focus on continuous improvement. We must courageously self-assess, deliberately self-correct, and continuously learn. Navigation Plan 2022 acknowledges identified shortcomings and barriers to our future progress, while charting the path forward to overcome them. 6. Everything in Navigation Plan 2022 supports our four overarching priorities: Readiness, Capabilities, Capacity, and Sailors. We must maintain readiness, keeping combat-credible forces forward in order to protect the free and open system underpinning American security and prosperity. We must possess capabilities to deter war and, if needed, win in conflict. We must build capacity that will enable us to deliver sea control and project power. And we must lead, train, and equip our Sailors to out-think and out-fight any adversary. 7. I expect all Navy leaders to read Navigation Plan 2022, which is available on the Navy.mil website (https://www.navy.mil/Leadership/Chief-of-Naval-Operations/). Each one of us has an important role to play, and our success depends on executing this Navigation Plan as a team. 8.

The Navy is continuing its yearslong quest for a better-fitting uniform for female sailors with a fit-test survey in Norfolk, Virginia, this month. The goal is to get enough measurements to make sizes better and more accurate for women. The project comes at a time when complaints about the fit of female uniforms persist in the sea service, but service members in other branches struggle to even buy uniform items.

WASHINGTON (NNS) - Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Mike Gilday released Navigation Plan 2022 to the Fleet, July 26. This Navigation Plan builds upon NAVPLAN 2021, further outlining how the U.S. Navy will build, maintain, train, and equip a dominant naval force to strengthen strategic partnerships, deter conflict, and if called upon, help win the Nation’s wars. "The seas are the lifeblood of our economy, our national security, and our way of life," said Gilday. "The Navy is committed to accelerating America's advantage at sea and our success depends on executing this Navigation Plan with teamwork." Navigation Plan 2022 aligns Navy’s vision with the most up-to-date strategic guidance, to include the 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS) and the Secretary of the Navy’s Vision. It outlines how the Navy is uniquely positioned to strengthen integrated deterrence, campaign forward, and build enduring warfighting advantages. This update also supports these lines of effort by driving a Fleet-wide movement to strengthen Navy’s learning culture and advancing a framework to accelerate its warfighting advantage. Building on last year’s priorities of Sailors, Readiness, Capabilities, and Capacity, Gilday emphasizes the need to deliver a Navy that is postured globally, combat credible, and partnership focused every day. The new guidance further reiterates Gilday’s 'Get Real, Get Better' call to action, reminding leaders they need to consistently self-assess and self-correct in order to create a culture of learning and continuous improvement. Navigation Plan 2022 introduces six force design imperatives to maintain combat credibility in increasingly contested seas: expand distance, leverage deception, harden defense, increase distribution, ensure delivery, and generate decision advantage. These force design imperatives enable distributed maritime operations, the Navy's foundational operating concept. "We must move decisively to modernize U.S. naval power as we maintain readiness and a forward posture that keeps America and our Allies safe and prosperous," said Gilday. "The Navy is adopting a more continuous, iterative force design process to focus our modernization efforts and accelerate the capabilities we need to maintain our edge in this critical decade and beyond." Navigation Plan 2022 supersedes last year’s NAVPLAN and will inform annual guidance for the Navy’s Program Objective Memorandum and other annual budget documents. “Seapower forged our nation and, for generations, a strong Navy has guaranteed the rules-based order that underpins global security and prosperity,” Gilday said. “The decisions and investments we make this decade will shape the maritime balance of power for the rest of this century. We can accept nothing less than success." one-page infographic Navigation Plan 2022

This NAVADMIN cancels and replaces reference (a), by clarifying program requirements, updating Sailor eligibility, instituting a centralized registration process, clarifying command approval procedures, and updating the SkillBridge point of contact. References (b) through (e) provide authority for the Navy to implement employment skills training and transition assistance programs. 2. The SkillBridge program is designed to help eligible members departing the Naval service. Reference (b) defines an eligible member as any member of the Armed Forces who has completed at least 180 days on Active Duty (AD) in the Armed Forces and is expected to be discharged or released from AD within 180 days of the date of commencement of participation in the SkillBridge program. Sailors may not extend their enlistment to complete a SkillBridge program. 3. To balance Sailor benefits and mission readiness, SkillBridge participation should not normally begin any earlier than 120 days prior to actual separation/retirement date. In no case shall SkillBridge participation begin any earlier than 180 days prior to actual separation/retirement date. Sailors may not use leave or any other authorized absence to begin a SkillBridge program greater than 180 days from separation. Any approved separation, terminal leave, and permissive temporary duty (TDY) shall occur following SkillBridge participation. Sailors will remain the responsibility of the parent command for administrative purposes. As such, SkillBridge participants must make weekly contact with their command point of contact for personnel accountability. Failure to maintain weekly contact may result in program termination and return to the permanent duty station (PDS) at the members expense. 4. Sailors must meet the following eligibility requirements: a. Be separating from the Navy and have sufficient time remaining under their contract to complete the program prior to established separation date. b. Have successfully passed their most recent physical fitness assessment. c. Be recommended for advancement or promotion and retention on most recent evaluation or fitness report. d. Have completed their Transition Assistance Program requirements. e. Have attended an ethics brief or completed a DoD (Department of Defense) approved ethics training presentation within the 12 months prior to the start of the SkillBridge program. f. Have not previously completed, be currently participating in, or had participation terminated from an employment skills training program. 5. SkillBridge is not an entitlement. Commanding officers (COs) and officers in charge with non-judicial punishment authority maintain final approval authority. COs have full authority to disapprove or modify participation based on mission requirements. COs should carefully consider command readiness when granting permission to participate in the program in light of the fact that personnel backfills are not normally available until the actual separation/retirement date of the participant. a. COs shall evaluate each request to participate in SkillBridge on the merits as they impact the individual Sailor and mission readiness. Commands shall not implement any additional restrictions on participation based on such criteria as rank/grade, education, skills, length of service, etc. b. Commands should establish a formal process to assess the impact of SkillBridge participation on mission readiness. c. SkillBridge participation need not align with the Sailors military skill set. d. Command policies or instructions should address application timelines, procedures and personnel accountability for participants, to include periodic contact with the command. e. Commands will place all SkillBridge participants on permissive TDY travel orders for the duration of their program until commencement of separation, terminal leave, and permissive TDY, if authorized. This applies to programs both outside and within the area of the Sailors PDS. f. SkillBridge is considered official duty, authorized to be completed during normal work days and hours. Commands will place Sailors in a duty- free status while participating in SkillBridge. 6. Sailors may only participate in a SkillBridge program with industry partners or employers that have an approved memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the DoD. A list of approved programs can be found on the SkillBridge web portal, located at https://skillbridge.osd.mil/organizations.htm. Organizations listed on the website are in good standing with DoD. COs will only approve participation through the end of the approved MOU in cases where a partners MOU will expire during a Sailors requested SkillBridge period. COs may extend a Sailors participation if the MOU is renewed prior to expiration. a. COs may not enter into an MOU to approve an employer or industry partner as a SkillBridge provider. b. Installation COs may enter into MOUs with DoD approved providers for the purpose of operating a SkillBridge program on base. c. A participation MOU or other similar agreement required by a SkillBridge provider to outline roles and responsibilities of each party (provider, Sailor, command) is authorized. 7. Sailors receiving special and incentive (S and I) pays who participate in SkillBridge will be treated as if they are on separation leave or long term TDY with respect to continued eligibility for S and I pays. If the policy for a particular S and I pay requires payments to stop when the member is on long term TDY or separation leave, commands must take action to stop the applicable S and I pay. For those S and I pays not required by policy to stop for long term TDY or separation leave, COs will carefully consider the impact to mission readiness due to the loss of the critical skill in question before approving SkillBridge. In line with reference (f), S and I pays are directly tied to incentivizing retention of critical skills for Navy missions, therefor COs are empowered to disapprove SkillBridge requests if they feel that allowing a Sailor to receive S and I pay during SkillBridge participation would inappropriately impact readiness. 8. Registration Procedures: a. To ensure accurate record keeping, effective immediately, any Sailor intending to participate in SkillBridge shall register with the OPNAV SkillBridge Registrar up to 365 days before expected date of separation. This shall be completed via encrypted email from the Sailor to the address in paragraph 11, with their command career counselor carbon copied. Email must include the Sailors name, rate/designator, paygrade, name of the SkillBridge provider, as well as type of program (e.g. internship, skills training, or apprenticeship), location and desired dates of the program. b. The OPNAV SkillBridge Registrar will record the Sailors intent to participate and respond to the Sailor and the command career counselor via email. This acknowledgement shall then be routed to the CO with the Sailors request to participate. c. COs may only approve SkillBridge requests from Sailors possessing acknowledgement of registration from the OPNAV SkillBridge Registrar. 9. Upon CO approval of a registered SkillBridge participant, the command will enter the Sailor into Fleet Training, Management and Planning System to record SkillBridge participation as early as possible. Course identification numbers for SkillBridge are S-3A-060 for programs between 1 and 60 days, S- 3A-0120 for courses between 61 and 120 days and S-3A-0180 for courses between 121 and 180 days. Commands must enter the date the Sailors SkillBridge program begins in the completion date field. The command should notify the OPNAV SkillBridge Registrar of any registered Sailor who was disapproved so that they can be removed from the database. 10. Use of travel funds to participate in SkillBridge is not authorized. Shipment of household goods is only permitted upon receipt of separation orders. 11. Direct all questions regarding SkillBridge policy to navy_skillbridge.fct(at)navy.mil or by phone at (703)604-5310. 12.

This NAVADMIN provides family advocacy program (FAP) policy updates in line with references (a) through (e) to include: a. Updated FAP policy for Commander, Navy Installations Command to implement (see paragraph 2). b. Expands the definition of intimate partners and personnel eligible for expedited transfers (see paragraph 3). c. Provides additional guidance for COs on military protective orders and civilian protective orders (see paragraph 4). 2. FAP Updates and Victim Services. Commander, Naval Installations Command (CNIC) must ensure: a. FAP victim advocates (VA): (1) Provide information about the Catch a Serial Offender (CATCH) program to all victims filing a restricted report of sexual abuse. This program allows victims to provide information to medical investigators for the purpose of identifying serial offenders of sexual assault without breaching their restricted report. (2) Possess or obtain within six months of hiring, at a minimum, the Basic Advocate Credential with a designation of Comprehensive Intervention Specialist, approved by the National Advocate Credentialing Program. (3) Be trained to use the Victim Advocate Lethality Assessment Checklist. The Victim Advocates (VA) Lethality Assessment Checklist is a tool that must be used by FAP VAs to identify and reduce the victims risk of death and/or serious physical harm. b. Installation FAP personnel coordinate with installation military treatment facilities (MTF) to ensure medical representative participation at the installation Incident Determination Committee (IDC). Reference (a) directs the Department of Health Affairs to designate a health care provider and alternate from, or via, the forensic healthcare program at the installation MTF or another MTF supporting the installation to serve as a core member on the installation IDC. The health care provider and alternate designated as core members are required to have the requisite medical training, expertise, and available consultation resources to offer a medical opinion on domestic abuse, child abuse, and neglect-related injuries. c. Each victim of domestic violence receives a comprehensive informational guide, written in a clear and easily understandable format, on the FAP and available services to include the following: (1) Military law enforcement services, including an explanation of the process that follows a report of an incident of domestic abuse, child abuse or neglect. (2) Notification for victims who have elected to file an unrestricted report of domestic abuse involving Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution covered offenses of their right to consult with a legal assistance attorney for legal support and their right to request Special Victims Counsel or Victim Legal Counsel services, if eligible. (3) Other applicable victim services. d. Pending the release of the Department of Defense (DoD) database to track domestic violence reports, case specific information on official unrestricted reports of adult sexual abuse will be entered into the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database (DSAID) by the lead Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC). Protocols for the SARC to enter FAP cases into DSAID will be determined by the DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office and Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) N170. CNIC will implement processes and quality assurance procedures to ensure FAP clinical providers notify SARCs of all domestic abuse unrestricted reports of adult sexual abuse. e. The FAP case manager or designated licensed clinical provider use the following assessment tools to assess risk level, severity level, safety and lethality concerns in domestic and child abuse cases: (1) Domestic Abuse/Child Abuse Risk Assessment (DARA or CARA) tool. The applicable form must be completed within three working days of initial interviews for all parties involved in the incident. The DARA or CARA tool is located within the Fleet and Family Support Management Information System (FFSMIS). (2) The DoD Intimate Partner Physical Injury Risk Assessment (IPPT- RAT). The IPPT-RAT must be completed within three working days following the initial interviews with the alleged offender, victim and all family members involved in the incident. The IPPT- RAT is available in the FFSMIS case record. (3) The FAP Incident Severity Scales (ISS). The FAP-ISS tool is used to determine the severity level in all met criteria incidents of child abuse/neglect and domestic abuse, including intimate partner violence. The severity level must be indicated on the initial clinical case staff meeting review form and clinical case notes must contain relevant information regarding the impact/level of harm and verification that the FAP ISS tool was used to determine the level of severity. The ISS is located on the Defense Manpower Data Center, Office of the Secretary of Defense (DMDC OSD) website. (4) The Incident Report and Safety and Lethality Assessment Tool. This tool must be used to conduct the safety assessment to evaluate current suicidal/homicidal behaviors in alleged perpetrator(s) or in victims of sexual assault who are at risk. The SLA is located in the FFSMIS case folder. a. FAP clinical providers and VAs must provide information about the Catch a Serial Offender (CATCH) program to all Service members and their adult dependents filing a restricted report of sexual abuse. This program allows victims of adult sexual abuse to provide information to military investigators for the purpose of identifying serial offenders of sexual assault without breaching their restricted report. 3. Reference (c) updated the intimate partner definition to include a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the alleged abuser, as determined by the length of the relationship, the type of relationship and the frequency of interaction between the person and the alleged abuser. These changes may impact the following: a. Expanded eligibility for FAP victim support services. There may be circumstances in which adult intimate partner sexual assault victims are eligible for and can choose to receive, victim centric services from either the FAP or the sexual assault prevention and response advocacy service, based on the victims reported relationship to the abuser/offender. FAP and SAPR personnel must ensure that an adult intimate partner sexual assault victim who is seeking services should never encounter a wrong door to getting the care and support they need and are provided a warm handoff approach to care, as needed. b. Expansion of expedited transfer requests. Requests for expedited transfer now may be made by: (1) An active duty victim of sexual or physical domestic violence allegedly committed by the spouse or intimate partner, whether or not the spouse or intimate partner is a Service Member. (2) An active duty parent whose dependent is a victim of sexual assault allegedly perpetrated by a Service Member who is not related to the victim. 4. Military Protective Orders (MPO) and Civilian Protective Orders (CPO) are necessary to protect victims. Per references (b) and (e), Service Members must comply with CPOs and MPOs or face possible disciplinary actions for CPO/MPO violations. COs must provide notice to any Service Member under a MPO or CPO that the Service Members failure to comply may result in administrative or other disciplinary action, to include potential prosecution in line with the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Commanders should consult with the first Staff Judge Advocate in their chain of command to determine how to best address CPO/MPO violations. 5. Restricted Reporting a. The Navy recognizes a victim may first tell someone (e.g., a friend, family member, peer or other confidante) about the abuse before being aware of reporting options or considering whether to file a restricted or unrestricted report. A victims communication with another person does not prevent the victim from later electing to make a restricted report except in specific situations. Specifically, if a victim informs their chain of command, their alleged abusers chain of command, a DoD Law Enforcement Agency or Military Criminal Investigative Organization outside of the CATCH program, there can be no restricted report. However, if the chain of command finds out about the incident through independent channels, an investigation can be initiated, even if the victim has filed a restricted report. b. Consistent with current policy regarding privileged communications, victims may also speak to Chaplain Corps personnel about abuse without compromising their restricted or unrestricted reporting option(s), if the communication is for a spiritual purpose or assistance. 6. In line with reference (c), the Navy Chief of Chaplains must ensure all Navy Chaplains receive domestic violence training either by installation FAP or through initial accession training. Chaplain training data should be forwarded annually to OPNAV N171B FAP. 7. The domestic violence general military training GMT course will be available on Navy eLearning site fourth quarter FY-22 along with an update to the domestic violence mobile application training. 8. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever occurs first. The above policy changes will be included in the next update to reference (d). 9.

Upon receipt of each JACP phased payment, which includes additional JACP paid to MJLCT qualified officers, judge advocates will incur the following service obligations: (1) Phase I: three years. (2) Phase II: three years. (3) Phase III: three years. b. All JACP service obligations will run concurrently with any other previous postgraduate school service obligations, except as otherwise provided by law or policy. Obligations incurred as a result of taking multiple phases of JACP and/or participation in the career intermission program (CIP) may run consecutively. 8. Recoupment/Repayment of JACP. Judge advocates who receive JACP commit to remain on active duty as judge advocates and agree to accept continuation on active duty through their JACP service obligation. a. Repayment policy is governed by section 303a(e) of reference (b) and reference (i). In line with reference (i), a member of the uniformed services who enters into a written agreement with specified service conditions for receipt of a bonus is entitled to the full amount of the bonus if the member fulfills the conditions of that written agreement. If the member fails to fulfill the service conditions specified in the written agreement for pay, then the pay may be terminated and the member may be required to repay an amount equal to the unearned portion. b. If unusual circumstances exist, the Secretary of the Navy may waive repayment if it is determined by secretarial process such release would clearly be in the best interest of both the Navy and the officer concerned. Unless waived by the Secretary of the Navy, judge advocates will be required to repay the unearned portion of any JACP received on a pro rata basis under the following circumstances: (1) If they fail to complete their JACP AC service obligation due to separation or discharge from active duty for any reason except those described in reference (i). (2) If they lose their certification under article 27(b) of reference (e), or are suspended from practice as judge advocates for one year or longer under the procedures of reference (f). (3) If they incur an illness, disease or injury resulting in incapacitation or disability that is determined, in line with chapter II of reference (j), to be the result of misconduct, willful neglect, or incurred during a period of unauthorized absence. (4) If they have twice FOS for lieutenant commander, and have received payment of JACP Phase I. (5) If they have twice FOS for commander, and have received payment of JACP Phases II or III, and are selected for but decline continuation in the AC Navy. (6) Refusal to accept orders in connection with service as a judge advocate. c. If an officer fails to maintain eligibility for JACP, repayment will not be sought under the circumstances provided for in table 2-1 of reference (i) unless secretarial process determines repayment of the member would be appropriate and not against equity and good conscience, contrary to the best interest of the United States, or contrary to personnel policy or management objective. 9. Action. Commanding officers, OJAG division directors, or equivalents will invite eligible and qualified judge advocates to submit JACP applications to PERS-4416. Commanding officers, OJAG division directors, or equivalents must ensure the information provided in an application of an officer is complete and accurate, the officer meets the eligibility requirements set forth above, and no action against the officer is pending which may result in the officer being ineligible for JACP. 10. Career Intermission Program (CIP). An officer participating in CIP will be ineligible to receive JACP payments during the intermission period. Payments will resume upon return to service, based on the adjusted active- duty service entry date and in line with the payment scheme. 11. General Notes: a. Consistent with this NAVADMIN and its references, the judge advocate general may issue additional policy guidance regulating the administration of JACP within the JAGC. b. Additional information and updates regarding JACP are available at the PERS-4416 website at https://portal.secnav.navy.mil/orgs/jag/detailers/sitepages/jacp.asp x. c. Address all application questions to the JAGC lieutenant commander detailer at (901) 874-4082/DSN 882. 12. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until superseded or cancelled, whichever comes first. 13. Released by Vice Admiral Richard J. Cheeseman, Jr., N1.// BT #0001 NNNN CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED//

REF B IS NAVADMIN 274/19, SEA SHORE FLOW ENLISTED CAREER PATHS UPDATE. REF C IS NAVADMIN 395/02, TRAINING AND ADMINISTRATION OF RESERVE SEA SHORE ROTATION TOUR LENGTH REVISION.// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN supports references (a) through (c) and announces the assignment optimization plan for Active Component (AC) and Training and Administration of Reserve (TAR) chief, senior chief and master chief petty officers (CPO, SCPO and MCPO respectively). Commander, Navy Personnel Command (COMNAVPERSCOM), Enlisted Assignment Division (PERS-40) will work with the Fleet readiness integrators (FRI), type commanders (TYCOM) and budget submitting office (BSO) N1 staffs to evaluate all chiefs assigned to billets with incorrect paygrades or those who are not aligned to funded billet requirements. The goal of this optimization plan is to ensure our most experienced enlisted Sailors are aligned to billets which specifically need their training, leadership and experience. This plan will lead to the realignment of chiefs into billets appropriate to their skills and experience. 2. COMNAVPERSCOM will host two virtual senior enlisted manning summits in Millington, TN. Participants may attend in person (Fleet, FRI, TYCOM and BSO participants will be given seating priority) or by dial-in teleconference, with dial-in information distributed separately. The SCPO and MCPO summit will be 25-29 July 2022. The CPO summit is scheduled 24-28 October 2022, contingent on release of selection board results. In-person groups supporting the summits will be governed by the applicable health protection condition restrictions, see local guidance for specifics. During registration for the summits, attendees have and will be provided with specific risk mitigation instructions. The summits will allow Fleets, TYCOMs and BSOs to work with COMNAVPERSCOM to fill their most critical gapped billets. a. Enlisted Readiness and Placement Branch (PERS-4013) have provided a list of misaligned chiefs to the FRIs. The FRIs have distributed the list of misaligned Sailors to the TYCOM and BSO N1s. Prior to the summit, PERS-4013 will evaluate chief billet requirements in MyNavy Assignment (MNA). b. Chiefs who are aligned to billets of an incorrect paygrade may be subject to the following options: (1) Realignment to an in-paygrade requirement at their current command. (2) Movement to a valid billet at another command. (3) If immediate alignment to a valid in-grade billet is not reasonably possible, then adjustment of projected rotation date (PRD) to enter the order negotiation window earlier than their current PRD. Chiefs in receipt of a PRD adjustment should expect to negotiate for orders to fill an in-paygrade requirement and will be considered a sea or shore roller based on a ratio of sea and shore duty billets available within their paygrade. c. Enlisted manning stakeholders identified in paragraph 1 shall review misaligned personnel, as well as Fleet billet vacancies and provide their recommendations for consideration at the manning Summit. d. Fleet readiness concerns will guide all decisions and actions, but each move will be considered on a case-by-case basis. e. The movement of realigned personnel will begin approximately 30 days after each summit concludes. Any out-of-area moves will receive adequate time to prepare and execute. All transfer timelines will take into account the vacancies that they will create and those they will fill, and limit or prevent *double-stuffing* of billets. f. CPO optimization efforts will not include nuclear chiefs, nuclear billet structures, or nuclear enlisted manning stakeholders. 3. The summit precept requires participants to evaluate all Sailors without prejudice or partiality. Each participant must pay particular attention to each Sailor and billet to ensure that they are meeting the intention of the optimization process. During deliberations, participants may consider any negative impacts a realignment may have on the activity or the Sailor. Before any decisions are made, TYCOM/BSO and FRIs will provide their input. If the requested actions are within one FRI, the FRI will make final decisions. If the requested action involves more than one FRI and there is a disagreement, the manning control authority will make the final decision. A copy of the precept will be provided to participants by the summit coordinators. 4. Fleet activities shall continue evaluating MNA alignments to ensure that Sailors are accurately aligned aboard their current activity. Chiefs should be aligned to billets for their specific paygrades. If Sailors of any paygrade need to be realigned to another billet, the activity manning manager (AMM) should submit a member realignment request (MRR) in MNA. If the MRR is approved, PERS-4013 will update the alignment. AMMs should contact their placement coordinator in PERS-4013 with any questions or concerns. 5. Key messages: a. Sailors. We are working to better align our enlisted supervisors to billets which require their skills and experience. The emphasis on operational readiness and unit prioritization reflect our identity as a sea service. We must preserve the readiness of the Fleet and ensure that chiefs are optimally assigned to meet mission readiness. We will take each Sailors personal considerations into account. b. Commands. Commanders, commanding officers, executive officers and command master chiefs must ensure their Sailors understand the intent of this message. Your cooperation and support of this senior enlisted optimization will greatly contribute to achieving maximum Fleet and operational readiness. 6. To register for the CPO manning summit, participants should contact any of the following summit coordinators: a. CDR Eric Lull at eric.h.lull.mil(at)us.navy.mil or 901-874- 4360. b. ITCM LaToya Bauman at latoya.m.bauman.mil(at)us.navy.mil or 901-874- 3753. c. ISCS Keith Wold at keith.d.wold.mil(at)us.navy.mil or 901- 874-4340. 7. Points of contact. For specific questions, please contact your PERS-4013 placement coordinator, rating detailer, or the MyNavy Career Center at askmncc(at)navy.mil or 1-833-330-MNCC(6622). 8.

FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii – Hawaii lawmakers and health officials have chided Navy officials for delays in providing complete plans for defueling the Red Hill underground fuel storage facility that is the source of drinking water contamination on Oahu. “[T]he Navy doesn’t seem to have the same sense of urgency that my constituents have and that the state of Hawaii has,” Hawaii Rep. Sonny Ganaden said at a briefing by Navy officials at the statehouse Tuesday.

NAPLES, Italy — The decision to recover a Navy Super Hornet swept off an aircraft carrier into the Mediterranean Sea likely hinges on whether the plane carried technology that could be exploited by China or Russia, experts say. The F/A-18 jet, introduced in 1999, is slowly being phased out of service. But newer, or Block III, versions have an infrared search-and-track system useful in pinpointing stealth aircraft. They also have better radar equipment and a precision approach landing system, experts say.

The future of aircraft carriers is assured. Tomorrow's oceans will be more complex and contested, with new threats emerging. Yet the carrier will continue to provide unrivaled conventional superiority to the few navies which can operate them. Only the United States, China and France are building the largest and most capable category of carriers, the Super Carrier.

By Chief Mass Communication Specialist (Sel) Chelsea Milburn NAVAL BASE GUAM – As the Navy’s first unmanned squadron, the “Big Red” of Unmanned Patrol Squadron (VUP) 19 has stretched its wings far and wide since its establishment in late 2013. Reserve Sailors assigned to VUP-19’s Reserve component have played a major role in the squadron’s continued success. VUP-19 is one of 28 active duty squadrons augmented by Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR) and Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors. “The VUP-19 Reserve Component has seven TAR officers and 86 SELRES officers and enlisted aircrew who provided nearly 30 percent of qualified aircrew manpower for the squadron’s fiscal year 2021 main operating base (MOB) in support of U.S. 7th Fleet operations,” said the VUP-19 Reserve Component Commanding Officer, Cmdr. Nate Wolf. As the active component rotates personnel in and out of the squadron and forward operating base (FOB), Reserve component Sailors are able to remain in place, allowing for the buildup of critical resident knowledge and the mentoring of new squadron members. In addition to operational flight schedule support, Reserve component members also serve in leadership roles within the squadron. “The Reserve Force has been the single greatest boon to the Navy’s first unmanned squadron, VUP-19,” said VUP-19 Commanding Officer Cmdr. Brian Conlan. “Capitalizing on a wealth of professional experience both inside and outside of the Navy, the VUP-19 Reserve Component harnessed the most diverse group of naval aircrew to deploy the MQ-4C Triton into the most challenging environments and deliver a force multiplier to fleet commanders and national decision makers. Backgrounds in the maritime, tactical, fighter, and test platforms, complemented by civilian know-how and best practices, deliver a cutting-edge threat against our adversaries. These folks truly embody citizen soldiers, and VUP-19 enjoys an incredible level of success because of what they bring to the fight.” Reserve Sailors were instrumental in the 2021 repositioning of VUP-19’s FOB in Guam to Misawa, Japan, which allowed the squadron to avoid the cold temperatures and convective activity associated with latitudes close to the equator during the summer months in an effort to increase MQ-4C Triton 7th Fleet presence. The FOB, which has since returned to Guam, is slated to continue to shift between Guam and Misawa rotationally. The Reserve Component Sailors who provided essential support to this effort hold a variety of roles within the squadron, detailed by Wolf below: Mission/Operations Planning Direct Support Members of the VUP-19 Reserve Component are subject matter experts in mission planning and are heavily relied upon to create and build operational mission plans for the squadron. This is one of the most important functions for putting an unmanned aircraft into flight. The mission plan is used by the brains of the aircraft, the Integrated Mission Management Computer (IMMC), to perform all the automated functions. The aircraft simply cannot fly without a valid and safe mission plan and the Reserve Component leads this effort. Squadron Detachment OIC/ LNO in Misawa, Japan The squadron has used five Reserve component senior officers this past year to act as forward detachment officer in charge (OIC) and liaison officer (LNO) to the force commander. These officers are in charge of running the day-to-day site operations to maintain, launch, and recover the MQ-4C Triton aircraft. In addition, they handle the care and feeding of the forward-deployed Sailors, enabling them to keep Triton flying. Forward Operating Base Pilots in Misawa Triton has four Air Vehicle Operators (AVOs) forward deployed to support the launch and recovery of the Triton aircraft. These AVOs will detach forward for about two months at a time and have a local control station that allows them to have a direct line of site command and control connection to the aircraft. Four Reserve AVOs have deployed forward to both Guam and Misawa. Repositioning Flight Crew Members The repositioning of [unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)] has increased complexity when compared to manned aircraft. The aircrew rely on several satellite constellations to maintain a beyond the line of sight (BLOS) command and control connection. We had multiple Reserve aircrew handpicked for their experience to fly the air vehicle to both of its reposition missions. VUP-19 Reserve Component not only supports the squadron’s operations in the 7th Fleet Area of Responsibility, but in all of the squadron’s operations. Reserve Sailors comprised 75% of the crew in the inaugural launch for the Triton aircraft from Naval Station Mayport in January 2022, providing 8.2 hours of ISR support to Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) 2. “I could not be prouder of my Sailors as they continue to answer the call and provide amazing operational support to the Fleet,” said Wolf. “We will continue to always ask for ways to get in the fight to stand hand in hand with our active component brothers and sisters.” The VUP-19 Reserve Component supports VUP-19 in its mission to employ the baseline MQ-4C Triton aircraft to provide persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), distributing valuable and time-critical intelligence to combatant and fleet commanders. Cmdr. Nate Wolf has turned over responsibilities as VUP-19 Reserve Component commanding officer to Cmdr. Matthew Romero.
