TUSKEGEE, Ala. (AP) — The tails of the Alabama Air National Guard’s F-35 Lightnings are painted red, like those of the Guard's F-16s before them. It's an homage to the famed Alabama-based unit of the Tuskegee Airmen, who flew red-tailed P-51 Mustangs during World War II. The squadron, which trained in the state, was the nation’s first to be comprised of Black military pilots, shattering racial barriers and racist beliefs about the capabilities of Black pilots. Their success in combat paved the way for the desegregation of the U.S. military, a story that is interwoven in state and U.S. history. Yet for a moment after President Donald Trump took office, that history was almost scrubbed by the Air Force.

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 A. RESFOR EAER Program Manager. YNCS Shawn Bentley, CNRF Norfolk , VA at (948) 223-6303, or via e-mail at shawn.l.bentley.mil(at)us.navy.mil. B. NavyRESFORELD(at)us.navy.mil for questions and support. C.

Garrison spoke to the Center for a New American Security today about the progress being made by the department and what still needs to happen. Some 41 percent of the military identify as members of minority groups, and that number will grow larger, Garrison said. The military must be able to attract, train and retain them for the services to retain competitive edges, he said.

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. 4. Execute. a. ECH II/III: CNRF N1/CNRF N3. (1) Participate in MOBEX 25-3 as directed in para 1.

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. NRSA Tasking Message ONE Timeline. I direct the SAB to provide updates according to the following timeline: 6.a. In Progress Review (IPR) 1 no later than the week of 24 March 2025. 6.a.1. The SAB will brief its assessment of the desired strategic e ects and potential methods from ref (d), proposed alternatives, and plan of action and milestones (POA&M) for the remainder of the NRSA Tasking Message ONE project. The output of this IPR will be my approval of the proposed desired strategic effects and potential methods for further development, as well as the proposed project POA&M. 6.b. IPR 2 no later than the week of 20 May 2025. b.1. The SAB will brief its progress on COA development for the approved desired strategic e ects and potential methods, and update progress toward project completion. 6.c. NRSA Tasking Message ONE final brief, including decision points, no later than the week of 15 July 2025. 6.c.1. The SAB will brief out COAs and final recommendations for each of the approved desired strategic e ects and potential methods. Each recommendation will be supported by the assessment considerations in section 4.a. The NRSA vision, project, and action items will drive consequential and transformative change during my tenure. This initiative is about warfighting readiness, with a bias toward improvements that make us a more ready and lethal Force by 2027. While we maintain an eye toward gaining long-term advantage, the Navy Reserve Force will accelerate all e orts to augment the Navy Total Force in a high-end conflict within the next two years. The SAB will coordinate all NRSA actions with urgency and partner with OCNR, CNRF, and echelon III sta s to socialize status throughout the project. Released by VADM N.S.
