This NAVADMIN provides interim guidance to update requirement, and define responsibilities associated with the development and sustainment of Navy physical security training and professional development as directed by the Vice Chief of Naval Operations in response to the Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola shooting investigation. 2. Background a. Per reference (a), Physical Security is part of that security concerned with physical measures designed to safeguard personnel; to prevent unauthorized access to equipment, installations, material, and documents; and to defend against espionage, sabotage, damage, and theft. Commanding officers have the inherent responsibility to safeguard Navy property inside contiguous and non-contiguous fence lines and other disparately located Navy owned property. This is accomplished through the employment of a variety of coordination and planning events, site-specific protective measures, and security-in-depth. The proficiency and skillset of the Navy physical security community is critical to ensuring the corresponding physical security plans and equipment are documented, coordinated, and maintained. b. In accordance with reference (a), security is the responsibility of all DON personnel (military, civilian, and contractor) and its proper implementation will be directed by commanders and other leaders at each level of the DON. It shall be fostered through awareness, education, training, and leadership. Further, reference (b) directs Services to develop training, qualification, and suitability requirements for dedicated security forces (including contract security forces where employed, security technicians, and physical security specialists). OPNAV N4, in coordination with the commands listed in paragraph 4 will develop and implement a standardized physical security training and professional development roadmap to ensure commanding officers have the greatest confidence in their staff and personnel are empowered with necessary skills to execute their task. 3. Policy a. All physical security personnel (military, civilian, and contractor) shall complete entry-level physical security training. This applies to physical security billets by name and billets considered collateral duties performing physical security functions (installation and tenant level). b. Navy physical security training will include the fundamental knowledge for conducting surveys, security-in-depth, protection measures, employment of electronic security systems, security planning and cross- functional area coordination. c. Training will be scalable and made available across various platforms to negate the barriers of travel restrictions or lack of travel funds. d. Developed curriculum will be reviewed and updated as needed to remain relevant and aligned with references (a) through (c), applicable higher headquarters directives and guidance, and trending threats. 4. Responsibilities a. Director, Installations Division (N4I) will: (1) Serve as the Resource Sponsor and Office of Primary esponsibility to provide oversight, resourcing, and develop requirements, for Navy physical security training and professional development. (2) Review and validate programming requirements for Navy physical security training and professional development submitted during the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) cycle. b. Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) will: (1) In the role as shore integrator, establish a professional development program for the Navy physical security community. (2) Develop a professional development roadmap (Entry, Intermediate, and Expert level) and associated training requirements, with guidelines for all military, civilian and contractor personnel occupying a physical security billet. (3) Incorporate the Navy physical security courses developed by the Navy Education and Training Command (NETC)/Center for Security Forces (CENSECFOR) into the training requirements for personnel assigned physical security responsibilities. (4) Coordinate with NETC/CENSECFOR and other Service counterparts for the analysis of training and professional development metrics and procedures for continual process improvement. c. Commander, Navy Education and Training Command will: Direct the CENSECFOR to execute the following: (1) Initiate a requirements review of references (a) through (c) and other applicable higher headquarters guidance and directives to include all available physical security course curricula (DoD, federal government, and private industry best practices, etc.) to acquire a comprehensive understanding of current training methods and innovations. (b) Develop a continuum of physical security courses that are scalable across multiple training delivery platforms. (c) Develop training materials and a process for delivering synchronous (certified via proctoring) and asynchronous virtual instruction to meet professional development requirements for Entry, Intermediate, and Expert level physical security specialists. (d) Review and update training periodically, to remain consistent with higher headquarters guidance and directives. d. Commanders, Navy Component Commands and Echelon Two Commands will: (1) Support development and implementation of the physical security training and professional development roadmap, as required. (2) Ensure all personnel assigned physical security duties, per subparagraph 3a, adhere to the requirements of this policy. 5. Applicability. This message applies to all Navy personnel assigned to the duties of physical security specialists (including physical security officers and/or managers) and charged with protecting Navy installation/activity assets (including afloat, expeditionary, tenant, off-installation and leased property/assets). 6.

It is critical our Sailors and Marines maintain health, fitness, and wellness to optimize mission readiness. Therefore, the Department of the Navy (DON) is committed to ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of those who serve our country, and their families in an environment of safety, privacy, and respect. The recent Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization has generated concern for some Sailors, Marines, and family members about how their reproductive health care may be affected. The decision has necessitated that the Department of Defense (DoD) closely examine and evaluate policies to ensure seamless access to health care, consistent with federal law. 2. Reference (a) is newly released guidance from the Secretary of Defense entitled, "Ensuring Access to Reproductive Health Care." Reference (a) outlines reproductive health policy and directs the DoD to promulgate implementing actions no later than the end of this calendar year, to the maximum extent possible. Nothing is more important to me than the health and well-being of our people. The DON will be fully engaged in this policy work. 3. Future policy will: a. Establish additional privacy protections for reproductive health care information, including standardizing and extending the time Service Members have to fulfill their obligation to notify commanders of a pregnancy to no later than 20 weeks unless specific requirements to report sooner, such as those necessitated by occupational health hazards, are set forth in policy. b. Allow for appropriate administrative absence consistent with applicable federal law for non-covered reproductive health care. c. Establish travel and transportation allowances for Sailors, Marines, and their dependents, as appropriate and consistent with applicable federal law and operational requirements, and as necessary, amend any applicable travel regulations, to facilitate official travel to access non-covered reproductive health care that is unavailable within the local area of a Sailor or Marine's permanent duty station. d. Direct commanders to maintain objectivity and discretion when addressing reproductive health care matters and underscore their duty to enforce existing policies against discrimination and retaliation in the context of reproductive health care choices. e. Develop a program to reimburse applicable fees, as appropriate and consistent with applicable federal law, for health care providers who wish to become licensed in a different state than that in which they are currently licensed in order to support the performance of official duties f. Develop a program to support health care providers who are subject to adverse action, including civil or criminal penalties or loss of license or reprimand, for appropriately performing their official duties, to include the indemnification of any verdict, judgment, or other monetary award consistent with applicable law. 4. While this policy work is underway, and pending issuance of the implementing actions, I want to assure you that I am fully committed to ensuring the DON continues to provide contraceptive and reproductive health care services and support to our Sailors, Marines, family members, and retirees. 5. Securing Easy Access to Contraceptive Care: active duty Sailors and Marines are entitled to comprehensive counseling by a health care provider and access to the full range of contraceptive methods for pregnancy prevention or menstrual suppression. Further, active duty Sailors and Marines may receive an adequate supply of short-acting reversible contraceptives for the entire length of deployment (up to 12 months). If menstrual suppression is desired, extra supply of the chosen method will be ordered and dispensed as necessary to ensure the member has enough active medication for the entire duration of deployment. Additionally, Walk-In Contraceptive Clinics (WICC) (primarily in Fleet Concentration and Fleet Marine Force areas) offer same-day contraceptive services to Sailors and Marines. Currently, 32 WICCs are open (22 Navy and Marine Corps, 4 Army, 4 Air Force, and 2 National Capital Region locations), offering easy access to same-day contraceptive services resulting in reduced wait time for accessing long acting reversible contraception. Finally, emergency contraception Plan B (or generic equivalent) is available at all military pharmacies free of charge. 6. Ensuring Service Members and Beneficiaries Can Access Covered Abortions: consistent with long-standing federal law, 'covered abortions' - those cases that involve rape, incest, or where the life of the mother would be endangered - will continue to be performed within the military health system. Please know that there is no interruption to this care. Existing DoD policy authorizes travel for covered abortion care, if necessary. 7. Ensuring Service Members Can Exercise Their Reproductive Health Rights: DoD health care providers may recommend non-chargeable convalescent leave to allow time for the Sailor or Marine to recover after receiving an abortion. Pre-and post-care is available to Sailors and Marines within the military health system, regardless of whether the abortion service was a covered or non-covered procedure. 8. I encourage you to visit the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center's, "Women's Health Toolbox," at https://www.med.navy.mil/Navy-Marine- Corps-Public-Health-Center/Womens-Health/ for additional information and resources on a myriad of important women's health issues, to include abortion care. 9. Rest assured that the DON's work to implement the DoD's new policy is a priority and it will be released expeditiously. I expect promulgation in short order, with cooperation from leaders across the Navy and Marine Corps to ensure appropriate input and efficient implementation of the new policy. 10. Released by the Honorable Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the Navy.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan – Many Marines and sailors living in the barracks at this base south of Hiroshima are having difficulty getting access to a working washer and dryer to clean their uniforms. About 16% of the barracks washers and dryers, or 183 machines, are out of service at MCAS Iwakuni, a base spokesman told Stars and Stripes on Tuesday. In one barrack hallway hangs a complaint printed on a sheet of paper: “Fix our washers and dryers!!!”

Service members stateside will soon be able to avail themselves of discounts on major appliances through Home Depot as well as delivery and installation provided by the retail giant. Home Depot is partnering with the Army and Air Force Exchange Service and the Navy Exchange on the purchase program, which is expected to start by next spring, said AAFES spokesman Chris Ward.

The Navy says water from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln's bilges, a type of drainage system, leaked into drinking water on the ship and was responsible for the "odor and cloudy appearance" that sailors reported last month. That disclosure, however, raises the possibility that there were other potentially harmful substances often found in bilgewater being consumed by sailors but not previously acknowledged by the Navy.

YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan — Local police are recommending criminal charges against a U.S. Navy sailor who allegedly charged into a group of people and injured several of them near the home of the U.S. 7th Fleet. The male sailor, 29, whose identity has not been disclosed by either the Navy or Japanese authorities, is accused of running into five people around 8:30 p.m. July 9 in Zushi, eight miles from the naval base, a Kanagawa Prefectural Police spokesman told Stars and Stripes by phone Monday. Japanese government spokespeople are customarily required to speak to the media on condition of anonymity.

The number of at-sea billets the Navy needs to fill continues to grow as the service works to incentivize sailors to take the jobs, according to the latest numbers from the Navy Personnel Command. The Navy needs to fill about 9,000 at-sea billets, Cmdr. Richard Chernitzer, a spokesperson for Naval Personnel Command, said in a statement. The largest gaps are in the sea-intensive ratings, which are positions that have more sea duty assignments than shore duty. There are currently 16 ratings categorized as sea-intensive, according to the service.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – A Navy officer and his girlfriend each face federal charges of cyberstalking, aggravated identity theft and conspiracy for a campaign to harass his ex-wife.

The U.S. and Spain will soon launch negotiations on a new defense pact for an expanded naval presence in Spain, while elsewhere in Europe, the Army plans to set up additional units by next year, according to officials.

The USS Missouri has borne witness to some of modern military history’s most monumental events, but its role in one affair involving Cher gyrating in a fishnet G-string left the Navy blushing over the “Mighty Mo.” In 1945, after the mammoth 45,000-ton battleship helped defeat the Axis powers in hallowed places such as Iwo Jima and Okinawa, Japanese foreign minister Mamoru Shigemitsu and his glum-faced delegation surrendered aboard the ship. In 1950, it was the first American battleship to slice through Korean waters.

The Pentagon will pay for service members to travel for abortion care, a move that comes as many states have rolled back access to the procedure since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
