Tara Krause’s kids were “super-excited” about the family’s trip to Greece, the 35-year-old said, but their excitement turned to disappointment when ground staff at Frankfurt-Hahn airport barred the U.S. military family from traveling because of coronavirus restrictions. “They told us, ‘No, you can’t fly,’ and they said it’s because we’re American,” Krause told Stars and Stripes on Thursday. “One of my 9-year-old twins cried herself to sleep that night.” https://www.stripes.com/news/europe/they-said-it-s-because-we-re-american-us-military-families-living-in-europe-bumped-from-flights-to-greece-1.641316

This NAVADMIN updates reference (a) and announces the policy and guidance for calendar year (CY) 2020 Season Two Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) for Active and Full-Time Support Sailors. As announced in reference (a), due to the successful implementation of the MAP automation in Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) and Fleet feedback, the time allocated for commands to approve MAP candidates during CY-20 MAP Season Two is reduced from 60 to 45 days, beginning from 1 September through 15 October 2020. 2. MAP will account for approximately 20-percent of total advancements in CY-20 with roughly half of the available quotas allocated for each season. All unused quotas will be factored into the Navy-wide advancement exam (NWAE) cycle. We are maintaining the two-season framework that aligns the MAP with the NWAE to emphasize the intent of MAP in selecting and rewarding the right Sailors. 3. Commands are required to submit their MAP advancement through NSIPS. Commands without access to NSIPS should submit their meritorious certification letters (MCL) via e-mail to their immediate superior in command (ISIC) as outlined in reference (a). The system will use authoritative data to determine eligibility. However, commands are still required to locally validate that MAP candidates have successfully completed the professional military knowledge eligibility examination (PMK-EE) requirement prior to the first day of the MAP season in accordance with reference (b). 4. MAP Quotas. MAP quotas by unit identification code (UIC) will be posted on MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/advancement-and- promotion/a-enlisted- advancement-resources-and-links, then select the *Websites* tab in the blue banner. 5.

This NAVADMIN announces flexibility in Fiscal Year 2020 Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) and Suicide Prevention trainings. Both of these trainings are essential contributions to Navy Readiness and the Culture of Excellence. Even with constraints of the current pandemic and limited opportunities to gather in groups for training evolutions, these two subjects still remain especially critical to the overall health of the Fleet. 2. The safety of our personnel remains paramount. The recommended method of delivery for SAPR and Suicide Prevention annual training is via face-to-face, small group facilitated discussions with social distance measures applied. While this remains the most effective lesson delivery method, this NAVADMIN authorizes Commanding Officers to adapt or modify fiscal year 2020 SAPR and Suicide Prevention General Military Training (GMT) delivery methods consistent with coronavirus mitigation procedures and operational commitments to meet these training requirements. If in-person/face-to-face delivery is not feasible, the preferred alternative is facilitated small group training via teleconference, Defense Collaboration Services, or Commercial Virtual Remote Microsoft Teams. SAPR and Suicide Prevention training is not authorized for facilitation through non-Department of Defense approved collaborative technology (e.g. Facebook, Zoom, etc.). During this pandemic environment, facilitated small group training using approved video conferencing technology is considered *face-to-face,* fully meeting these training requirements. Senior commanders have the authority to issue guidance that is more restrictive to their subordinate commands. 3. Current SAPR and Suicide Prevention training materials are not designed for individual/self-study training. As such, using methods other than facilitated, small group sessions will be challenging. Feedback, lessons learned or recommendations for more effective training delivery is encouraged. a. SAPR training materials are located on MyNavy Portal at https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/general-skills-training/gmt (high bandwidth mode and Common Access Card authentication are required). All SAPR training materials are For Official Use Only. SAPR training material shall not be loaded onto publicly accessible websites (i.e. YouTube, Facebook, etc.). Additionally, the following disclaimer should be added at the beginning of each SAPR training session that is not conducted in person: *We understand that participating in SAPR training can be difficult. If you need advocacy support at any time, please contact the on-call Sexual Assault Response Coordinator or Victims Advocate (SARC/VA) at [please insert contact information for the local SARC/VA] or the Department of Defense Safe helpline at www.safehelpline.org or 877-995-5247.* b.

The Navy has cancelled fall E-4 advancement exams for active, full-time support and Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors and instead will rank order advancement-eligible E-3 Sailors to limit possible exposure to the COVID-19 virus. It's the same method used successfully for this past spring’s active and reserve full-time support E-4 advancements. The only change for the fall cycle will be the addition of SELRES candidates. The Navy has cancelled fall E-4 advancement exams for active, full-time support and Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors and instead will rank order advancement-eligible E-3 Sailors to limit possible exposure to the COVID-19 virus. It's the same method used successfully for this past spring’s active and reserve full-time support E-4 advancements. The only change for the fall cycle will be the addition of SELRES candidates. The cancellation was announced in NAVADMIN 222/20 Aug. 7 and impacts all E-4 exams scheduled to be given as part of the Active Duty (AD) and Full Time Support (FTS) Cycle 248 as well as the Selected Reserve (SELRES) Cycle 107, both were originally scheduled for September. The only exception will be those E-4 SELRES in the Prior Service Reenlistment Eligibility – Reserve (PRISE-R) program who will still take exams in order to make their rates permanent. All other eligible E-3 Sailors will be ranked for advancement using an alternative Final Multiple Score (FMS) rank-order method without inclusion of the exam score from a proctored exam. The message also outlined the Navy's plans for administering September's E-5 and E-6 exams on a staggered schedule throughout September as a further precaution against spreading the virus. "The Navy’s advancement team, in coordination with fleet leadership, has developed policy in this naval administrative message to ensure the safety of our Sailors during the COVID-19 outbreak, while still ensuring that all the Sailors we advance have the proficiency, expertise and demonstrated capability to lead at the next level," Chief of Naval Personnel, Vice Adm. John B. Nowell, Jr., said. Using this method to determine who advances, he said, maintains “the high standards and culture of learning that drive our enlisted advancement system.” This means that because the Naval Education Training and Professional Development Center (NETPDC) will not receive E-4 exam answer sheets, it is essential that commands scrub the records of their advancement eligible Sailors to ensure every E-4 Enlisted Advancement Worksheet (EAWs) in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) is accurate and up to date. For active-duty and FTS Cycle 248, commands will have until Sept. 25 to finalize worksheets. Selected Reserve Cycle 107 E-4 EAWs must be completed by Sept. 30. The plan for active and FTS E-5 and E-6 exams is to administer them in separate testing windows throughout September. E-6 exams will happen between Sept. 1-16, with E-5 exams being administered Sept. 17-30. Selected Reserve E-5 and E-6 as well as the E-4 PRISE-R exams will be given between Sept. 1 and Oct. 31. Every effort should be made to spread the administration of the exams evenly throughout each window in order to minimize the number of exam-takers at each administration as well as allowing for maximum physical distancing. Commands are also strongly encouraged to test all candidates for a given rating on the same day to maintain exam integrity. Once exams are given, ESOs are encouraged to expeditiously mail in answer sheet packages to NETPDC and not hold any taken exams until the end of the testing window. This will ensure exams are processed and results are released in a timely manner. The results are anticipated to be released sometime in November 2020. However, the message said this is heavily dependent on accurate worksheets being submitted up front and prompt returning of answer sheets once exams are taken. Direct any questions to the points of contact listed in NAVADMIN 222/20

MILLINGTON, Tennessee – Guidance to address how advancement results from the delayed E-7, E-8, and E-9 selection boards will affect first class, chief, and senior chief petty officer evaluations is now available. NAVADMIN 223/20 released Aug. 7 provides amplifying guidance for the 2020 E-6, E-7, and E-8 periodic evaluation cycles to address the delayed advancement results due to COVID-19. “With all the upheaval caused by the COVID-19, it's critical to keep evaluations on track,” said Career Management Department Command Master Chief Bill Houlihan. “This NAVADMIN allows for that while also addresses the concerns we’ve heard from the fleet.” The NAVADMIN adjusts policies surrounding evaluations in order to relieve the administrative burden on commands, ensure accurate reporting for advancing sailors, and standardization across the Navy. For E-6, E-7, and E-8 periodic evaluations, those selected to advance can expect to be assigned their original date of rank that will overlap with the usual reporting period. Reporting seniors are now directed to conduct their normal first class petty officer periodic evaluations after the release of the Active Duty E-7 advancement results, with the end of the reporting period remaining Nov. 15. These evaluations must be submitted to Navy Personnel Command (NPC) no later than Dec. 15. “From a morale perspective, it’s significant,” said Houlihan. “Very few dates on the Navy calendar are as commonly known as the end of the reporting period for each paygrade. Keeping those dates, especially the E-6 date, is a must.” Sailors selected for advancement to E-7 will receive an E-6 Promotion/Frocking evaluation dated Sept. 15. This applies to Active, Full-Time Support, and Reserve Component Sailors frocked or advanced to E-7. Reporting seniors shall conduct normal E-7 and E-8 periodic evaluations after the release of the Active Duty E-8 and E-9 advancement results, with the end of reporting period remaining Sept. 15. These evaluations must be submitted to NPC no later than Oct. 15. “This should serve as a reminder to our Sailors that they can trust the process,” added Houlihan. “This year has caused a great number of disruptions for people, and it is the intent of NPC to ensure that the best possible chance for advancement is afforded to all Sailors.” For questions and concerns regarding these policy changes, contact the MyNavy Career Center Contact Center at 1-833-330-6622, or via e-mail at askmncc@navy.mil

An update to the Professional Military Knowledge-Eligibility Exam (PMK-EE) mobile application, released Aug. 5, improved functionality for Sailors and upgraded content to match current Navy standards and requirements. Available via the Navy App Locker, version 2.7.3 of the mobile app includes the following updates: - Exam questions and content for all pay grades - Study materials for all pay grades - Preserves the Sailor’s completed progress - Corrected code based issues related to the app upgrade - Improved course completion workflow In March 2020, the Navy Advancement Center (NAC) conducted a PMK-EE Advancement Examination Readiness Review (AERR) in Pensacola to review and update exam questions and bibliographies. “We gathered Fleet Subject Matter Experts (FSMEs) from across the Navy to ensure that rating advancement and promotion eligibility exams were valid and that the bank item content was current, relevant, and correct,” said NAC PMK-EE Team Leader Doc Wallach, Ph.D. Numerous references were also updated to match current policy, programs, standards and recent modernizations to Navy systems and processes. “PMK-EE is now more current, relevant, valid, and incorporates Sailor 2025 initiatives,” said Wallach. In addition to the content update, Sailors will see increased functionality with version 2.7.3. “Sailors will find the improved app to be more user-friendly,” said Wallach. “It will also save progress as Sailors complete each module and provide completion certificates directly to the Sailor’s records.” It is recommended that Sailors continue to save their completion certificates electronically as a backup, said Wallach. In order for Sailors to get the latest version of the PMK-EE mobile app, Sailors must download the update onto their mobile device. “It’s important to note that current course completions will not be affected, and Sailors will not need to repeat already completed courses now that the new content is released,” said Wallach. “That said, if they are in the middle of a module and have not yet completed it, say 15 out of 20 questions, it will not save that progress in the new version of the app.” PMK-EE still consists of 100 questions spread across five sections: Career Information, Leadership and Character, Naval Heritage, Professionalism, and Warfighting and Readiness. “Sailors must take and pass the exam once per pay grade in order to advance to the next-higher pay grade,” said Naval Education and Training Professional Development Center (NETPDC) Command Master Chief Gregory Prichard. “Failure to complete the PMK-EE by the established deadline will result in the Sailor being ineligible to advance.” The current advancement eligibility deadlines for PMK-EE completion are outlined in NAVADMIN 201/20: - January AD/FTS E7 NWAE cycle – prior to Dec. 1 of the previous year - February SELRES E4/5/6/7 NWAE cycle – prior to Jan. 1 of the same year - March AD/FTS E4/5/6 NWAE cycle – prior to Feb. 1 of the same year - August SELRES E4/5/6 NWAE cycle – prior to Jul. 1 of the same year - September AD/FTS E4/5/6 NWAE cycle - prior to Aug. 1 of the same year The mobile app update took several months to complete and included the combined efforts of multiple entities to include NETPDC, PMW-240, Tracen Tech, and the Navy Training Management and Planning System (NTMPS) team. As part of the MyNavy HR Force Development team, NETPDC provides products and services that enable and enhance education, training, career development, and personnel advancement throughout the Navy. Primary elements of the command include the Voluntary Education Department, the Navy Advancement Center and the Resources Management Department. Additional information about NETPDC can be found at https://www.netc.navy.mil/netc/netpdc/Default.html

In coordination with Fleet Staffs and Fleet Educational Services Officers (ESO), the Navy advancement team has developed a tailored approach to administering the fall Navy-Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE), while ensuring the safety of our Sailors during the COVID-19 outbreak and maintaining the high standards and continued culture of learning that drive our enlisted advancement system. This NAVADMIN amplifies guidance contained in reference (a) and contains exam and cycle administration updates to references (b) and (c). For information on time-in-rate (TIR) eligibility, classified rates, exam ordering and other exam information refer to references (b) and (c). 2. The following applies to Selected Reserve (SELRES), Active Duty (AD) and Full-Time Support (FTS) E-4 candidates. References (b) and (c) apply. a. Final Multiple Score (FMS) Rank Order for E-4 candidates. Administration of E-4 (Cycle 107) SELRES and (Cycle 248) AD and FTS candidates is cancelled. The only exception will be for SELRES E-4 Prior Service Reenlisted Eligibility Reserve (PRISE-R) candidates who must take the exam to make their rate permanent. b. Navy Enlisted Advancement System (NEAS) E-4 candidate records (excluding Cycle 107 E-4 PRISE-R candidates) will be established in the same manner used for Spring 2020 Cycle 247 E-4 candidates. E-3 Sailors eligible to take the fall E-4 Cycle 248 or Cycle 107 exam will be given the opportunity for advancement using an alternative FMS rank-order method, without inclusion of the exam score from a proctored exam. c. Enlisted Advancement Worksheets (EAW). Since Naval Education Training and Professional Development Center (NETPDC) will not receive E-4 answer sheets (with the exception of Cycle 107 E-4 PRISE-R answer sheets), commands must accurately validate, complete and finalize all E-4 EAWs in the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS). EAW accuracy is critical since NEAS will be reprogrammed to use finalized EAWs rather than the candidate exam answer sheets to create E-4 candidate records. The success of this process will be dependent upon the accurate completion of E-4 EAWs to establish advancement cycle participation. (1) AD/FTS Cycle 248 E-4 EAWs must be completed by 25 September 2020. (2) SELRES Cycle 107 E-4 EAWs must be completed by 30 September 2020. 3. The following applies to AD and FTS E-5 and E-6 fall 2020 exam administrations. a. Administration windows for AD and FTS E-5 and E-6 exams. These exams will be administered utilizing testing windows in the month of September 2020. E-6 exams will take place from 1 through 16 September 2020 and E-5 exams will take place from 17 through 30 September 2020. These testing windows will allow for smaller groups of test takers to ensure that adequate social distancing can be maintained between testers at testing facilities. Administration for all substitute exams will follow guidelines in references (a) and (c). b. Commands/Personnel Support Activity Exam Execution Plan Submission. In order to ensure appropriate COVID-19 mitigation strategies are being implemented, commands will submit their exam execution plans to their Immediate Superior in Command (ISIC) for approval. Personnel Support Detachments (PSD) responsible for administering exams will submit their execution plans to Navy Pay and Personnel Support Center (NPPSC) and to their base commanding officers for approval. Every effort should be made to ensure appropriate COVID-19 mitigation measures are in place, to include, but not limited to, face coverings, adequate social distancing, available hand sanitizer, medical (questionnaire) screenings and temperature checks. c. To the maximum extent practicable, exams for the same ratings should be administered on the same day. Sailors are directed not to discuss exam content after taking an exam to ensure no advancement candidate is disadvantaged in the advancement process. Unauthorized disclosure of exam content may result in administrative and/or disciplinary action. d. Following the administration of exams, it is critical that ESOs expeditiously mail in E-5 and E-6 answer sheet packages to NETPDC (N321). Do not hold exams until the end of the testing window. Prompt return of answer sheets will help ensure results are released in a timely manner. 4. The following applies to SELRES E-5, E-6 and E-4 PRISE-R fall 2020 exam administrations. a. SELRES E-5 and E-6 and E-4 PRISE-R exam administrations will occur from 1 September through 31 October 2020. Administration for all late exams will follow guidelines in references (a) and (b). b. Every effort should be made to spread the administration of the exams evenly throughout the two-month period, in order to minimize the number of exam-takers at any one administration to ensure maximum social distancing. c. Commands/Navy Operational Support Center (NOSCs) Exam Execution Plan Submission. In order to ensure appropriate COVID-19 mitigation strategies are being implemented, commands will submit their exam execution plans to their ISIC for approval. NOSCs and PSDs responsible for administering exams will submit their execution plans to either Commander Navy Reserve Forces Command (CNRFC) or NPPSC and their base commanding officers for approval. Every effort should be made to ensure appropriate COVID-19 mitigation measures are in place to include, but not limited to face coverings, adequate social distancing, available hand sanitizer, medical (questionnaire) screenings and temperature checks. d. Following the administration of exams, it is critical that ESOs expeditiously mail in answer sheet packages to NETPDC (N321). Do not hold exams until the end of the testing window. Prompt return of answer sheets will help ensure results are released in a timely manner. 5. Results. All results are anticipated to be released in November 2020. Release of results is heavily dependent upon commands accurately completing EAWs and promptly processing and returning exam answer sheets. 6. Questions and concerns regarding these policy changes may be referred to MyNavy Career Center at askmncc(at)navy.mil or 1-833- 330- MNCC(6622). 7. Released by Vice Admiral John B.

PER THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC), SELF-MONITORING INCLUDES ASSESSING ONSET OF FEVER BY TAKING ONES TEMPERATURE TWICE A DAY AND REMAINING ALERT FOR SYMPTOMS CONSISTENT WITH COVID-19. CDC DEFINES FEVER AS TEMPERATURE GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 100.4 F (38C) DEGREES. INDIVIDUALS THAT DEVELOP FEVER, COUGH, OR BREATHING DIFFICULTY OR RECENT LOSS OF TASTE OR SMELL SHOULD IMMEDIATELY SELF-ISOLATE, LIMIT CONTACT WITH OTHERS, AND SEEK ADVICE BY TELEPHONE FROM A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER TO DETERMINE IF FURTHER MEDICAL EVALUATION IS REQUIRED. 2.G. RESTRICTION OF MOVEMENT (ROM). GENERAL DOD TERM FOR LIMITING PERSONAL INTERACTION TO REDUCE RISK TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF A BROADER COHORT. ROM IS USED TO MINIMIZE RISK OF INDIVIDUALS ENCOUNTERING COVID-19 CONTAGIOUS INDIVIDUALS, AND TO PREVENT PERSONNEL WHO HAVE BEEN IN A HIGHER RISK AREA FROM POTENTIALLY INFECTING OTHERS. ROM INCLUDES ISOLATION, QUARANTINE AND ROM-SEQUESTER. 2.G.1. ISOLATION: MEDICAL TERM FOR THE STRICT SEPARATION OF PERSONNEL FROM OTHERS DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF POTENTIAL COVID-19 SYMPTOMS OR A POSITIVE COVID-19 TEST. 2.G.2. QUARANTINE: MEDICAL TERM FOR SEPARATING ASYMPTOMATIC PERSONNEL FROM THOSE PEOPLE REASONABLY BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO A COMMUNICABLE DISEASE, TO PREVENT THE POSSIBLE SPREAD OF THE COMMUNICABLE DISEASE. FOR THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, PERSONNEL WITH NO COVID-19 SYMPTOMS WHO HAVE RECENTLY RETURNED FROM A HIGHER RISK LOCATION OR HAD CLOSE CONTACT WITH A KNOWN COVID- 19 POSITIVE PATIENT SHOULD BE QUARANTINED. THE QUARANTINE PERIOD IS 14 DAYS. 2.G.3. ROM-SEQUESTER: U.S. NAVY TERM FOR PREEMPTIVE SEPARATION OF FORCES TO REDUCE RISK OF INFECTION WHILE ESTABLISHING A COVID-FREE BUBBLE. ROM- SEQUESTER CAN BE CONDUCTED ONBOARD SHIP, IN CONTRACTED FACILITIES, OR IN PERSONAL RESIDENCE DEPENDENT ON UNIT-SPECIFIC SCENARIOS. DURING ROM- SEQUESTER, INTERACTION WITH INDIVIDUALS TRAVELING OUTSIDE OF THE ROM- SEQUESTER LOCATION MUST BE MINIMIZED. INTERACTION WITHIN ROM-SEQUESTER LOCATION IS RESTRICTED TO BASIC NECESSITIES SUCH AS FOOD DELIVERY. 2.H. BUBBLE. U.S. NAVY TERM FOR INDIVIDUALS, UNITS OR INSTALLATIONS THAT HAVE ESTABLISHED LOW PROBABILITY OF COVID-19 INFECTION. A CREW THAT HAS BEEN UNDERWAY, OR ROM-SEQUESTERED AT THE PIER, FOR GREATER THAN 14 DAYS WITHOUT COVID-19 POSITIVE PERSONNEL AND NO COVID-19 SYMPTOMS IS WITHIN A BUBBLE. 2.I. BUBBLE TO BUBBLE TRANSFER (B2BT). U.S. NAVY TERM FOR MOVEMENT OF UNITS OR PERSONNEL FROM ONE BUBBLE TO ANOTHER VIA CONTROLLED MEANS. A WIDE VARIETY OF MODES/MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION CAN BE USED FOR B2BT. THE KEY FACTOR IS THAT THE EVOLUTION IS CLOSELY CONTROLLED TO MINIMIZE RISK OF COVID-19 EXPOSURE TO BOTH INDIVIDUALS AND UNITS DURING TRANSFER. 3. MINIMUM ACTION REQUIRED PRIOR TO DEPLOYED OPERATIONS. 3.A. MANDATORY MEDICAL SCREENING BY A MEDICAL PROVIDER. 3.A.1. PRE-DEPLOYMENT SCREENING FOR ALL PERSONNEL WILL CONSIST OF AN ASSESSMENT OF COVID-19 EXPOSURE HISTORY, A TEMPERATURE CHECK, A CHECK FOR COVID-19 SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS LISTED IN PARA 2.E. FOR MILITARY MEMBERS, IT WILL ALSO INCLUDE A REVIEW OF ANY PAST COVID-19 TESTING AND A THOROUGH EVALUATION OF THE MEMBERS RISK FACTORS FOR SEVERE ILLNESS FROM COVID-19. 3.A.2. DEPLOYMENT OF HIGH RISK INDIVIDUALS SHOULD BE UNCOMMON AND GUIDED BY MEDICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOUND IN REF (H). DECISIONS MUST BE MADE, AT A MINIMUM, BY THE ISIC. MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND WILL MEDICALLY SCREEN CIVIL SERVICE AND CONTRACT PERSONNEL FOR DEPLOYMENT ON MSC VESSELS IN ACCORDANCE WITH EXISTING MSC INSTRUCTIONS AND CONTRACTS. 3.B. CONDUCT A MINIMUM 14-DAY ROM-SEQUESTER PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT. DEPENDING ON SCHEDULE AND PLANNED OPERATIONS, THE NCC WILL DETERMINE IF ROM-SEQUESTER IS WARRANTED PRIOR TO INTEGRATED PHASE. 3.B.1. CONDUCT ENHANCED DAILY PERSONNEL MEDICAL SCREENING (QUESTIONNAIRE / TEMPERATURE CHECKS). 3.B.2. ALL PERSONNEL DEPLOYING OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WILL UNDERGO A 14- DAY ROM-SEQUESTER PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT. IF TRAVELING OCONUS AND THE HOST NATION REQUIRES 14-DAY IN-COUNTRY ROM, CONUS PRE-DEPLOYMENT ROM-SEQUESTER IS NOT REQUIRED UNLESS THE HOST NATION EXPLICITLY MANDATES BOTH. 3.B.3. ACCEPTABLE ROM-SEQUESTER FACILITIES ARE: SHIP BERTHING, LIVING BARGE, INDIVIDUAL BARRACKS/HOTEL ROOMS, OR PERSONAL RESIDENCE (WITH LIMITED CONTACT WITH OTHER RESIDENTS). EACH HAS PROS AND CONS THAT MUST BE WEIGHED AGAINST UNIT-SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES AND RISK. MINIMIZING CONTACT WITH OTHERS AND FOLLOWING PUBLIC HEALTH MITIGATION MEASURES IS CRITICAL TO SUCCESSFUL ROM-SEQUESTER. 3.B.4. PRACTICE PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND SANITIZE MORE FREQUENTLY WHILE MANNING ESSENTIAL WATCH STATIONS, COMPLETING REQUIRED MAINTENANCE, AND CONDUCTING REQUIRED UNDERWAY PREPARATION (LOGISTICS, TRAINING, ETC.). 3.B.5. DEVELOP OPERATIONAL BENCH FOR REDLINE PERSONNEL TO MAINTAIN MISSION ESSENTIAL OPERATIONS (NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, BRIDGE, COMBAT INFORMATION CENTER, CWC WATCHES, MEDICAL PROVIDERS, ETC.). 3.C. DEPLOYING UNITS WILL TEST/ROM-SEQUESTER PER FLEET APPROVED COMMUNITY CONOPS. THESE CONOPS WERE REVIEWED BY BUMED FOR THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC EFFICACY AND SHOULD BE FOLLOWED TO ENSURE STANDARDIZATION AND CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE FORCE. TESTING IS THE BEST WAY TO IDENTIFY ASYMPTOMATIC COVID-19 POSITIVE INDIVIDUALS. HOWEVER, TESTING DOES NOT GUARANTEE A COVID-FREE DEPLOYING UNIT DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR FALSE NEGATIVE TESTS. USE OPERATIONAL UNIT RETURN TO WORK (RTW) GUIDANCE, PARA. 7.D.1. TO CLEAR COVID POSITIVE TESTS. 3.D. SHIP RIDERS (E.G. CONTRACTORS, TECH REPS, INSPECTION TEAMS, ETC.), DIRECT SUPPORT PERSONNEL, AND ALL OTHERS ASSISTING COMMANDS PRIOR TO BUBBLE ESTABLISHMENT WILL ADHERE TO LOCAL FORCE HEALTH PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS (DAILY COVID-19 SCREENING QUESTIONNAIRE, TEMPERATURE CHECKS, PHYSICAL DISTANCING, PPE, RESTRICTED SHIPBOARD MOVEMENT, SANITIZATION, ETC.). WHEN INVOLVED IN MOVEMENT TO SEQUENTIAL COMMANDS, IT MAY BE ADVISABLE TO ROM-SEQUESTER TEAMS, USE B2BT, AND/OR TEST PERIODICALLY. 3.E. SHIP RIDERS (E.G. CONTRACTORS, TECH REPS, INSPECTION TEAMS, ETC.), DIRECT SUPPORT PERSONNEL, AND ALL OTHERS PENETRATING AN ESTABLISHED BUBBLE WILL COMPLETE A 14-DAY ROM-SEQUESTER PRIOR TO EMBARKING. USE OPERATIONAL UNIT RTW GUIDANCE TO CLEAR COVID POSITIVE TESTS, PARA. 7.D.1. MITIGATION PLANS TO PENETRATE AN ESTABLISHED BUBBLE WITHOUT A 14 DAY ROM-SEQUESTER DUE TO EMERGENT OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS MUST BE APPROVED BY THE NCC. 4. MINIMUM REQUIRED ACTION FOR MAINTENANCE, BASIC, ADVANCED/INTEGRATED, AND SUSTAINMENT PHASES. 4.A. MAINTENANCE PHASE. AGGRESSIVE AWARENESS, DIAGNOSIS, AND CONTACT TRACING ARE CRITICAL TO COMBAT COVID-19. COMMANDERS MUST REMAIN ALERT TO THE REALITY SOME SAILORS CARRYING COVID-19 MAY BE ASYMPTOMATIC AND MITIGATE RISKS ACCORDINGLY. THE FOLLOWING MINIMUM MEASURES APPLY: 4.A.1. FOLLOW LOCAL HPCON STATUS AND FHP MEASURES. EMPHASIZE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY (CLOTH FACE COVERINGS, PHYSICAL DISTANCING, AVOID LOCAL AREAS WITH HIGH POPULATION DENSITY, SELF-MONITOR, ETC.). REPORT AND ISOLATE PERSONNEL WITH COVID-19 SYMPTOMS. SCREEN ALL PERSONNEL AND VISITORS DAILY AT WORK, TO INCLUDE TEMPERATURE CHECKS. CLEAN AND DISINFECT SPACES DAILY IAW NAVSEA CLEANING GUIDANCE. CONSIDER ADDITIONAL COVID-19 ORM MEASURES FOR MAJOR EVENTS (E.G. SHIPBOARD DRILLS). 4.A.2. SUPPORT ORGANIZATION COMMANDERS (E.G. SHIPYARD PERSONNEL, CONTRACT SUPPORT, TRAINING TEAMS, ETC.), SHOULD CONSIDER CURRENT HPCON, CDC THREAT LEVEL, METHOD/MODE OF TRAVEL, ETC. WHEN ASSESSING RISK AND DETERMINING IF ROM- SEQUESTER IS WARRANTED. FOR EXAMPLE, A TEAM OF SHIPYARD WORKERS MOVING FROM AN AREA WITH LOW COVID CASES TO AN AREA OF LOW, MEDIUM OR HIGH COVID CASES MIGHT NOT WARRANT ROM-SEQUESTER UNLESS COMPELLED BY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS TRAVEL THROUGH A HIGH RISK AIRPORT. REGARDLESS, VISITORS SHOULD FOLLOW THE SAME DAILY SCREENING PROCEDURES, SELF-MONITORING, TEMPERATURE CHECKS, PHYSICAL DISTANCING, PPE, AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY PROTOCOLS AS SHIPS FORCE. 4.A.3 AIRCRAFT SQUADRON COMMANDERS SHOULD CONSIDER THE CURRENT RISK LEVEL PER PARAGRAPH 4.A.2 TO DETERMINE IF ROM-SEQUESTER IS REQUIRED FOR TRAINING DETACHMENTS. FOR EXAMPLE, A SAILOR MAY USE A PERSONAL VEHICLE TO DRIVE FROM MILITARY BASE TO MILITARY BASE WITH INFREQUENT GAS OR FOOD STOPS TO MAINTAIN A MODIFIED BUBBLE. REGARDLESS, TRAVELERS SHOULD FOLLOW THE SAME DAILY SCREENING PROCEDURES, SELF-MONITORING, TEMPERATURE CHECKS, PHYSICAL DISTANCING, PPE, AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY PROTOCOLS DICTATED BY LOCAL HPCON CONDITIONS. 4.B. BASIC PHASE. INCLUDES SAME MEASURES AS THE MAINTENANCE PHASE, PLUS: 4.B.1. UNDERWAY OPERATIONS WITH ABILITY TO GET MEDICAL TREATMENT FACILITY (MTF) SUPPORTWITHIN 72 HOURS. SCREEN HIGH RISK SAILORS AND ENSURE PPE LOADOUT MEETS FLEET GUIDANCE. FOLLOW PLATFORM SPECIFIC COVID-19 CONOPS AND SOPS. 4.B.2. UNDERWAY OPERATIONS WHEN MTF SUPPORT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE WITHIN 72 HOURS. SAME MEASURES AS LOCAL OPERATIONS, PLUS, IAW FLEET COMMANDER GUIDANCE, CONSIDER MEDICAL TEAM AUGMENT, MEDEVAC AUGMENT/HELO CAPABILITY, AND SHIPBOARD TESTING CAPABILITY. 4.C. ADVANCED AND INTEGRATED PHASES. SAME MEASURES AS MAINTENANCE AND BASIC PHASES, PLUS: 4.C.1. IF DEPLOYING IMMEDIATELY AFTER INTEGRATED PHASE (I.E., COMPTUEX(C2X)) OR PRE-OVERSEAS MOVEMENT EVALUATION (POMEVAL), FOLLOW GUIDANCE IN PARAGRAPH 3. 4.D. SUSTAINMENT PHASE. 4.D.1. UNDERWAY: MAINTAIN BUBBLE PER PARAGRAPH 3.E. 4.D.2. PIER-SIDE: FOLLOWING DEPLOYMENT, FOLLOW BASIC PHASE GUIDANCE. OPERATIONAL COMMANDERS MAY ELECT TO SHIFT TO PARAGRAPH 3 GUIDANCE DEPENDING ON LIKELIHOOD OF CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS. 4.E. FOR SHORE BASED COMMANDS SENDING PERSONNEL TO AFLOAT UNITS, FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE THAT APPLIES TO THE PHASE OF THE RECEIVING UNIT. FOR ALL PERSONNEL TRAVELING TO SHORE COMMANDS (E.G. SCHOOLS, TDY, ETC.), FOLLOW MAINTENANCE PHASE CRITERIA OF PARA 4.A. 4.F. FOR ALL PHASES, DISCIPLINED INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH PROTECTION MEASURES ARE THE BEDROCK OF RISK REDUCTION AND RISK MITIGATION. COVID MITIGATION PROTOCOL, WHERE APPROPRIATE, SHOULD CONSIDER ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR HIGH RISK PERSONNEL. COMMANDERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING, MANAGING, OVERSEEING AND IMPLEMENTING PROTOCOLS FOR THEIR UNITS. INDIVIDUALS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EXECUTING THOSE PROTOCOLS. 5. DUE TO THE UNIQUE NATURE OF FORWARD DEPLOYED NAVAL FORCES (FDNF) AND THEIR HOST NATION RELATIONSHIP, NCCS WILL DEFINE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FDNF UNITS USING PARAGRAPH 3 AND 4 AS THE BASIS. 6.

WHEN ADEQUATE SHIPBOARD ISOLATION CAPACITY IS EXHAUSTED, CONSIDER TRANSFERRING PUIS TO UNITS WITH REMAINING CAPACITY OR ASHORE, IF FEASIBLE AND MISSION ALLOWS. 7.A.2. IF ISOLATED ASHORE, PROVIDE NECESSARY MEDICAL TREATMENT UNTIL CLINICALLY IMPROVED. 7.B. IDENTIFY, QUARANTINE, AND MEDICALLY SCREEN CLOSE CONTACTS OF COVID-19 CASES AND SYMPTOMATIC PUIS AS DEFINED IN PARAGRAPHS 2.A AND 2.B. MINIMUM SCREENING SHOULD INCLUDE COVID-19 QUESTIONNAIRE TO ASSESS RISK TO EXPOSURE, TEMPERATURE CHECK, AND VISUAL CHECK FOR SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OUTLINED BY THE CDC. WHEN LOCAL TESTING CAPACITY AND SUPPLIES ALLOW, TESTING IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL CLOSE CONTACTS OF CONFIRMED OR PROBABLE COVID-19 PATIENTS. WHEN ADEQUATE SHIPBOARD QUARANTINE CAPACITY IS EXHAUSTED, CONSIDER TRANSFERRING CLOSE CONTACTS TO UNITS WITH REMAINING CAPACITY OR ASHORE, IF FEASIBLE AND MISSION ALLOWS. 7.B.1 CLOSE CONTACTS THAT TEST POSITIVE TRANSITION TO AND ARE MANAGED BY COVID-19 CASE PROTOCOL. CLOSE CONTACTS THAT CANNOT BE TESTED MUST QUARANTINE FOR 14 DAYS FROM LAST CLOSE CONTACT ENCOUNTER. 7.B.2 ASYMPTOMATIC INDIVIDUALS QUARANTINED DUE TO CLOSE CONTACT ARE NOT CONSIDERED PUI, PER PARAGRAPH 2.B. 7.B.3.

RETURN TO WORK (RTW) GUIDANCE FOR COVID-19 CASES. 7.D.1. OPERATIONAL UNITS. COVID-19 CASES MUST MEET ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA TO RTW: (1) AT LEAST 24 HOURS HAVE PASSED SINCE RESOLUTION OF FEVER WITHOUT THE USE OF FEVER REDUCING MEDICATION, (2) PROGRESSIVE IMPROVEMENT IN OTHER COVID-19 SYMPTOMS AS DETERMINED BY A MEDICAL PROVIDER, AND (3) AT LEAST 14 DAYS HAVE ELAPSED SINCE THE SYMPTOMS FIRST APPEARED OR SINCE THE DATE OF THE FIRST POSITIVE RT-PCR TEST IF ASYMPTOMATIC. 7.D.2. ALL OTHER UNITS AND STAFFS. COVID-19 CASES MUST MEET ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA TO RTW: (1) AT LEAST 24 HOURS HAVE PASSED SINCE RESOLUTION OF FEVER WITHOUT THE USE OF FEVER REDUCING MEDICATION (2) IMPROVEMENT IN OTHER COVID-19 SYMPTOMS, AND (3) AT LEAST 10 DAYS HAVE ELAPSED SINCE THE SYMPTOMS FIRST APPEARED OR RT-PCR TEST DATE IF ASYMPTOMATIC. 7.D.3. FOR SEVERE CASES WHERE INDIVIDUALS REQUIRED HOSPITALIZATION, EXTEND THE DURATION OF ISOLATION SUCH THAT RTW IS NO EARLIER THAN DAY 21 (20 DAYS SINCE SYMPTOM ONSET) AS SOME PERSONS WITH SEVERE COVID-19 ILLNESS MAY REMAIN INFECTIOUS FOR SLIGHTLY LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. 7.D.4. RETURN TO EXERCISE. THE RTW GUIDANCE IN 7.D.1 THROUGH 7.D.3 IS BASED ON RESOLUTION OF INFECTIVITY.

REF (H) CONTAINS RETURN TO EXERCISE RECOMMENDATIONS. 7.D.5. NCC MAY ELECT TO TREAT CRITICAL OPERATIONAL ENABLERS, SUCH AS INSPECTION AND CERTIFICATION TEAMS, AS OPERATIONAL UNITS, PARA. 7.D.1. 7.D.6. A TEST BASED STRATEGY IS NO LONGER RECOMMENDED TO DETERMINE RTW BECAUSE IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES IT RESULTS IN IDENTIFYING THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO SHED DETECTABLE SARS-COV-2 RNA BUT ARE NO LONGER INFECTIOUS. A COMBINATION OF BOTH SYMPTOM RESOLUTION AND TESTING CRITERIA IS NOT RECOMMENDED AS IT WILL LIKELY EXTEND RTW WITH NO CORRESPONDING DECREASE OF INFECTION TRANSMISSION. 7.E. PERSONNEL MAY CONTINUE TO TEST POSITIVE FOR UP TO THREE MONTHS DUE TO THE PRESENCEOF PERSISTENT NON-INFECTIOUS VIRAL FRAGMENTS. THEREFORE, THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM ANY REQUIRED TESTING PROTOCOL FOR THREE MONTHS FOLLOWING ANY POSITIVE TEST. INDIVIDUALS THAT EXHIBIT NEW OR PERSISTENT SYMPTOMS DURING THAT THREE MONTH PERIOD SHOULD BE EVALUATED BY A MEDICAL PROVIDER. STUDIES HAVE NOT FOUND EVIDENCE THAT CLINICALLY RECOVERED PERSONS WITH PERSISTENCE OF VIRAL RNA HAVE TRANSMITTED COVID-19 TO OTHERS. 7.F. VIRAL CULTURE: VIRAL CULTURE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A PRIMARY OR STAND- ALONE RETURN TO WORK CRITERIA. HOWEVER, IF A VIRAL CULTURE HAS BEEN OBTAINED DURING A COVID CASE CLINICAL EVALUATION, RESULTS MAY BE USED AS SUPPLEMENTAL CRITERIA FOR PARTICULARLY CHALLENGING CASES. 7.G. COMMAND AND MEMBER NOTIFICATION: THE INDIVIDUAL SICK SLIP (DD FORM 689) MUST BE USED TO NOTIFY BOTH THE MEMBER AND THE CHAIN OF COMMAND OF ANY TEST- CONFIRMED OR PRESUMPTIVE COVID ILLNESS, WHETHER SYMPTOMATIC OR NOT.

BEGINNING AND ENDING DATES OF THE QUARANTINE/ISOLATION PERIOD, SYMPTOM-FREE REQUIREMENTS, AND MEDICAL FOLLOW UP MUST BE CLEARLY INDICATED IN SECTION 12 (REMARKS). 8. POST-DEPLOYMENT/REDEPLOYMENT. 8.A. MILITARY MEMBERS RETURNING TO CONUS FROM DEPLOYMENT WILL COMPLETE A 14- DAY ROM AT HOME STATION. MEMBERS RETURNING VIA SHIP OR MILAIR WITH NO ACTIVE COVID-19 CASES WITHIN THEIR UNIT IN THE LAST 14 DAYS, MAY COUNT TRANSIT TIME (BEGINNING ON THE DAY OF DEPARTURE FROM THE LAST PORT OR AIRFIELD) TOWARD THE ROM REQUIREMENT. SERVICE MEMBERS ON POST-DEPLOYMENT ROM ARE RESTRICTED TO THEIR PERSONAL RESIDENCE OR OTHER APPROPRIATE DOMICILE AND MUST LIMIT CLOSE CONTACTS. 8.B. REDEPLOYING INDIVIDUALS MUST BE SCREENED AT THE ASSIGNED PLACE OF DUTY OR POINT OF EMBARKATION. AT A MINIMUM, SCREENING WILL CONSIST OF COVID-19 QUESTIONNAIRE, ASSESSMENT OF EXPOSURE HISTORY, TEMPERATURE CHECK, CHECK FOR COVID-19 SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 2.E., AND REVIEW OF ANY PAST COVID-19 TESTING. 8.C. AT THE COMPLETION OF DEPLOYMENT, ALL PERSONNEL WILL COMPLETE A POST- DEPLOYMENT HEALTH ASSESSMENT (DD FORM 2796) AND POST-DEPLOYMENT HEALTH REASSESSMENT (DD FORM 2900) IN ACCORDANCE WITH REF (F). 8.D.
