WASHINGTON — Navy officers said they cannot deploy a Norfolk, Va.-based warship after a federal judge ruled the service commanders are prohibited from acting against the ship's captain for refusing the coronavirus vaccine despite their insistence they have lost faith in his ability to command. The Navy commander, identified only by his rank in court papers, filed a lawsuit in the Middle District of Florida in October with several other service members seeking relief from the military’s coronavirus vaccine mandate on religious grounds.

This NAVADMIN updates reference (a) to incorporate INCSEA reporting guidance. 2. This update addresses underreporting of incidents between United States and Russia that occur outside the limits of territorial seas, reporting that is required per the Incident at Sea (INCSEA) agreement between our two nations (OPNAVINST 5711.96D). Underreporting results in an incomplete picture that constrains our position at the annual INCSEA Consultations; designed to minimize the risk of miscalculation. 3. OPNAVINST 5711.96D directs that INCSEA violations are to be reported within 15 days of occurrence. 4. Action for Navy Component Commands (NCC). To ensure that interactions between U.S. and Russian Federation Forces are evaluated under both Visual Information criteria and INCSEA Agreement criteria, the following guidance will be added to Reference (a), paragraph E "Interactions with Russian Ships and Aircraft": a. Per OPNAVINST 5711.96D, all interactions between U.S. and Russian Ships and Aircraft that generate a VI report shall be evaluated for INCSEA violations by Navy Component Commands (NCC). The NCC shall include in their VI report their assessment of whether or not an associated INCSEA violation occurred, with details provided separately per OPNAVINST 5711.96D if it indeed met INCSEA violation criteria. b. INCSEA incident criteria is independent of VI Criteria. An interaction determined to be safe and professional under VI guidance may still meet INCSEA reporting criteria, driving the need to evaluate each event independently against the criteria in references (a), (b) and (c). Although less common, underreporting may also exist for INCSEA violations that do not trip a VI report, e.g. a simulated attack outside visual range. c. When in doubt, report the event as an INCSEA violation for further evaluation by OPNAV ahead of annual INCSEA consultations, facilitating the larger efforts of minimizing miscalculations while also maintaining information balance. 5.

This message is to provide additional guidance to all Navy Reserve Activities (NRA) that have Sailors who are voluntarily retiring, separating, or transferring from the Selected Reserve (SELRES). 2. Background. The Navy Reserve is dedicated to the retention and career development of its Sailors. All leaders should encourage Sailors to stay Navy. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, an unusually high number of Sailors have decided to leave the SELRES. In order to gather information on the reasons Sailors are making this career choice, the Navy Reserve has developed a voluntary twenty-five question exit survey to be completed as part of the Sailor's separation process. This survey will be conducted anonymously and will collect basic demographic information, career history and experiences, and separation reasoning via an open link which will be provided to the NRAs via their Command Career Counselors (CCC). The survey will take approximately five to ten minutes to complete. Although completion of the exit survey is voluntary, participation should be highly encouraged by NRAs. The results of this survey will be used to improve retention programs and policies. 3. Eligibility. This survey is applicable to all SELRES Sailors who are retiring, voluntarily separating at the end of their obligated service, or who have requested transfer to the Voluntary Training Unit (VTU) or Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). Sailors who are retiring/separating for COVID-19 vaccination refusal or are being processed for administrative separation are not recommended for participation in this survey. 4. Process. As a Sailor is preparing to retire, separate, or transfer to the VTU/IRR, and meets the eligibility criteria outlined above, the NRA CCC shall provide them with the link to the exit survey, nominally at the time that the Sailor receives their pre-separation/retirement counseling 3-6 months prior to their separation/retirement date. If not completed at this time, the link should be provided to them with their check-out sheet. While participation in the survey is voluntary, CCCs and NRA personnel should highly encourage Sailors to complete it as part of the separation or check-out process. The NRA should attempt to confirm that the Sailor has completed the exit survey while protecting the anonymity of the survey information. 5. Points of Contact: a. Sailors are encouraged to ask retention-related and career development questions of their NRA CCCs and local chain of command. b.

This ALNAVRESFOR message supersedes reference (a) with updates to the E3 to E4 MAP policy and provides guidance for Calendar year (CY) 2022 Season One (S1) Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) for Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors, beginning 1 March and ending 30 April 2022. 2. We continue to refine and improve MAP to empower command triads to identify and recognize their most talented Sailors through an immediate advancement process. Our Reserve Force is a predominantly prior service force with unique accession pathways. SELRES overall rating health and advancement outlook is similar but not identical to AC/TAR planning factors. Because of these differences, rating health for SELRES necessitates a MAP process in the form of nominations for E-4 and E-5 sailors only. Additionally, Reserve MAP has specific controls to ensure that our force maintains a balanced and healthy total advancement opportunity percentage for each rating. The Navy Reserve Force will continue to convene an Echelon II MAP board for E-4 and E-5 candidates to ensure MAP selections are determined utilizing a board precept, convening order and selection standard consistent with promotion boards. 3. Policy update for E-3 to E-4 MAP process a. The authority to select and MAP Sailors to E4 is delegated to each squadron Commanding Officer (CO) and ECH VI Unit CO. Readiness and operational unit COs can MAP their most deserving E-3 Sailor to E-4 without submitting a detailed board package in NSIPS. Each ECH VI unit, including squadrons will receive one E-4 MAP quota. b. To utilize the unit and squadron's E-3 to E-4 MAP quotas, NSIPS must be used to process and validate the meritorious advancement. NSIPS ensures the UMUIC submits qualified Sailors for meritorious advancement. MAP Unit Approvers will use steps 1-4 in paragraph 3c of this message for MAP validation. c. NSIPS utilizes mandatory gates for MAP submission. Following the below steps is crucial for MAP quota usage and must be completed NLT 2359 on 13 March 2022. (1) MAP Unit Approver selects the E-3 Sailor in NSIPS. (2) MAP Unit Approver marks each "nomination comments" blocks N/A. (3) MAP Unit Approver will upload 2021 PFA results and current evaluation to satisfy system requirements. (4) MAP Unit Approver will save the document which will automatically be forwarded on 14 March 2022 to the REDCOM or ISIC as discussed in paragraph 9. (5) REDCOM and ISIC Approvers will rank all E-3 submissions alphabetically NLT 2359 on 25 March 2022 and save the selection. d. Advanced Electronic Field and Advanced Technical Field ratings are ineligible for E-4 MAP due to rating requirements located in reference (d). 4. CY22 Reserve MAP Season One: a. Each MAP season is aligned with the Navy-wide advancement exam (NWAE) cycles to reward the right Sailors. This will require command triads to select their best and fully qualified Sailors for MAP nominations, without regard to NWAE results; however, it does not relieve Sailors from the need to prepare and study for the technical rating information tested by the NWAE. b. Season one window: 1 March - 30 April 2022. c. All commands other than Commander, Navy Recruiting Command (CNRC) and Commander, Navy Personnel Command (CNPC) PERS 9 will use the MAP-R automation tool. All Navy Reserve Units must request Unit Approver access using NSIPS. Readiness and Mobilization Commands (formally known as Reserve Component Command) and ISIC Commands must request RCC Approver and ISIC Approver access respectively. MAP-R NSIPS tutorials are located at https://www.nsips.navy.mil under the training tab. 5. Eligibility. MAP is open to all E-3, E-4 and E-5 Sailors who meet MAP advancement eligibility requirements per references (d) and (e) and are in a valid pay billet. Prior Service Re-enlistment Eligibility - Reserve (PRISE-R) Sailors are eligible only if their new rate is permanent before 1 March 2022. a. Sailors may only meritoriously advance one paygrade. Sailors in a frocked status are not eligible for advancement to the next higher paygrade until effectively advanced (i.e., frocked E-5 cannot be meritoriously promoted to E-6). b. MAP Time-in-Rate (TIR) requirements. The minimum TIR dates must be on or before: (1) E-6: 1 January 2021 (2) E-5: No TIR requirement (3) E-4: No TIR requirement c. Mobilized, Definite Recall, ADOS, and Canvasser Recruiter (CANREC) Sailors. Sailors who are currently mobilized or serving on Definite Recall, ADOS, or CANREC orders may compete for a SELRES MAP nomination opportunity. They are not eligible for AC/TAR quotas. Nomination packages for Sailors on Mobilization, Definite Recall, and ADOS orders must be submitted in NSIPS via the automation tool by the Sailor's respective Navy Reserve Unit (specifically their Unit Mobilization Unit Identification Code (UMUIC)). Nomination packages for Sailors on CANREC orders must be submitted manually to CNRF via their respective recruiting region. Reference (b) contains guidance on NSIPS MAP-R user roles. d. Per reference (c), Sailors must complete PMK-EE for the desired advancement paygrade to be eligible for the Meritorious Advancement Program. e. Required attachments for E5 and E6 MAP nominations. MAP nominations submitted in the automation tool must contain evaluations from 1 February 2020 through 1 February 2022. Packages submitted without the required evaluations will be determined ineligible for MAP unless a waiver is submitted in the NSIPS MAP Package. 6. Nominations. The list of MAP nominations by UIC for operational (formally referred to as commissioned units) and readiness units (formally referred to as augment units) will be loaded into the NSIPS automation tool and visible to unit leadership once user role permissions have been granted. MAP nomination opportunities are allocated as follows: a. SELRES operational units. Nominations for operational units are based on each individual unit's E-3, E-4, and E-5 billets authorized (BA). b. SELRES readiness units. Nominations for readiness units are based on the E-3, E-4, and E-5 BA for each Readiness and Mobilization Command (REDCOM) within their area of responsibility. Each REDCOM will review submissions and forward validated nominations by the deadline date. c. CANREC. Each Navy Talent Acquisition Group (NTAG) will compete for nominations within their respective region (East, West or Central) and are allotted two E-6 nominations for each region. Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) HQ and PERS-9 are allotted one E-6 nomination each. 7. SELRES MAP Quotas. E-5 and E-6 quotas are controlled based on community health of each rate and rating. All nominations will be submitted per the timeline in paragraph 8 below. 8. MAP Board membership. Seeking Board membership to include a Board President, eight Board Members and a Board Recorder. a. TAR or SELRES Board President solicitation. The Board President must be available from 28 March through 1 April 2022 and must hold the rank of Lieutenant Commander or higher, and be a currently serving or post-tour CO/OIC. b. TAR and SELRES Senior Chief and Master Chief solicitation for MAP board membership. All board members must be available from 28 March through 1 April 2022 and be able to gain NSIPS MAP access upon selection. c. TAR or SELRES Chief or Senior Chief solicitation for MAP Board Recorder. The Recorder must be available from 30 March - 1 April and be able to gain NSIPS MAP access upon selection. d. All candidates for board president, membership, and recorder should submit requests directly to OCNR_N095MC_FORCM(at)navy.mil no later than 10 March 2022 and include the following information: full name, rank, current command, UIC, NRC, NRC UIC, e-mail address, best phone number and position requesting. 9. Timeline. The MAP automation tool is designed to route MAP packages automatically on the dates below. Failure to make selections by the due dates is irrevocable and commands will forfeit their opportunity to submit MAP nomination package(s) for season one. a. 13 March 2022: Deadline for all readiness and operational units to submit nomination packages in NSIPS. The automation tool will automatically route the nomination to the appropriate REDCOM or ISIC on this date at 2359. b. 13 March 2022: Deadline for NTAGs to submit nomination packages to their respective NRC region.

WASHINGTON — The Defense Department will permanently shut down the Navy's massive fuel tank facility in Hawaii that leaked petroleum into Pearl Harbor's tap water, and will remove all the fuel, The Associated Press has learned. A senior defense official said the decision, which Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin made Monday, is based on a new Pentagon assessment, but also is in line with an order from Hawaii's Department of Health to drain fuel from the tanks at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility. The tanks, built into the side of a mountain during World War II to protect them from enemy attack, had leaked into a drinking water well and contaminated water at Pearl Harbor homes and offices.

President Joe Biden’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene on an emergency basis in a clash with 35 Navy special operations forces who are refusing on religious grounds to get vaccinated against Covid-19.

At this moment, the United States Navy is preparing to deploy a 10,000-ton warship carrying 320 officers and sailors, along with missiles, torpedoes, and a mounted artillery gun. This ship, known as a guided-missile destroyer, defends the United States and its allies on the seas. Although its next mission remains secret, it may bolster American military presence in Europe as Russian aggression pushes the continent into war. But the Navy cannot currently deploy this warship, because it has lost trust in its commanding officer, an anti-vaxxer who has repeatedly disobeyed lawful orders, misled superiors, and allegedly exposed dozens of his crew to COVID-19 due to a refusal to get tested.

The fast-attack submarine USS Connecticut, which struck an underwater mountain in October, sustained damage to its ballast tanks and sonar sphere, according to a Navy evaluation of the vessel in drydock. The service is conducting a “thorough assessment of damage” to the Connecticut at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Wash., where it arrived on Feb. 8., Submarine Force U.S. Pacific spokeswoman Cmdr. Cindy Fields told Stars and Stripes in an email Friday.

WASHINGTON — Members of the House Armed Services Committee on Thursday questioned the culture and readiness of the Navy’s surface fleet after a government watchdog report showed crew shortages, overworked sailors and other issues continue to abound years after several costly disasters.

Navy salvage crews operating from a commercial salvage ship have recovered the F-35C Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter that suffered a ramp strike on the deck of USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70 and crashed into the South China Sea, a U.S. 7th Fleet spokesman confirmed to USNI News on Thursday. The F-35C, assigned to the “Argonauts” of VFA-147 Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA), was plucked from the floor of the South China Sea with Navy personnel aboard the offshore vessel DSCV Picasso, which had departed Okinawa on Feb. 23, according to the service.

(Tribune News Service) — The Navy has eased its rules on masks, saying they are no longer required indoors at Hampton Roads installations. The decision covers Naval Station Norfolk; Naval Air Station Oceana; Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, Naval Weapons Station Yorktown and Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads.

San Diego — Dozens of U.S. Navy officials have admitted to being bought off by the gregarious, rotund Malaysian defense contractor known as "Fat Leonard" who plied them with prostitutes, Cuban cigars and free stays at the Philippines' Shangri-La hotel, among other things. Now as the last five of 34 defendants stand trial in federal court in San Diego, what's more shocking is how little the case has changed the Navy's way of doing business, according to former military officers and government watchdog advocates.

ABOARD THE NUCLEAR ATTACK SUBMARINE USS SOUTH DAKOTA – A banner over the sonar operators in the control room of one of the Navy’s most technologically advanced submarines declares the attack boat is the service’s “Apex Predator.” The sign – complete with a portrait of the alien from the 1987 sci-fi adventure film “The Predator” – refers to a package of sensors and quieting technology the service installed for testing aboard USS South Dakota (SSN-790). Commissioned in 2019 as one of the last Block III Virginia-class attack boats, five years ago the Navy chose South Dakota to be the service’s acoustic superiority test ship.

The Navy nearly separated 100 active-duty sailors as the sea service continues toward a force fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The Navy separated 99 active-duty sailors this week, according to its weekly COVID-19 update, which publishes weekly on Wednesdays. This brings the total number of sailors, including members of the reserve, to 419.

An investigation remains ongoing into how the guided-missile destroyer Stockdale damaged its sonar dome on Jan. 21 while the ship was underway, Navy officials said. No sailors were injured in the “Class A” mishap, which entails damages exceeding $2.5 million

QUANTICO, Va. - The U.S. Naval Community College selected the Virginia Community College System and Northern Virginia Community College as one of the Pilot II cybersecurity associate degree programs Feb. 22, 2022. This continues the relationship developed during the initial pilot program and provides active-duty enlisted Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen the ability to earn cybersecurity certificates or associate degrees that will directly contribute to the naval services and set them on a path to lifelong learning and success. “NOVA’s program offers our men and women in uniform a technical, hands-on approach to cybersecurity,” said Randi R. Cosentino, Ed.D., president of the USNCC. “We are excited to continue to work with a two-year institution recognized by the National Security Agency as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense.” The men and women who attended NOVA as part of the first pilot program will have the opportunity to continue in the program and complete their Associate of Applied Science in Cybersecurity with an established pathway to a four-year degree with little to no loss of credit. “We are excited for this opportunity to continue serving students who are keeping our country safe,” said Chad Knights, Ph.D., vice president of information and engineering technologies and college computing at NOVA. “Through this groundbreaking program, we are able to provide our USNCC-NOVA students with the skills they need to protect our critical infrastructure as active duty service members and help them succeed one day in the cybersecurity industry.” The USNCC’s cybersecurity applied science degree, in coordination with NOVA, will provide an in-depth understanding of technical development and operational implementation of cybersecurity skills to design, administer, secure and troubleshoot computer networks, as well as the data protection skills needed to safeguard critical cybersecurity infrastructure and assets. The degree pathway also includes a certificate in Naval Studies taught by the USNCC’s faculty and a professional cybersecurity certificate and degree through NOVA’s program. NOVA is the largest public institution of higher learning in the Commonwealth of Virginia and one of America's largest community colleges. NOVA enrolls more than 80,000 students at its six campuses in Alexandria, Annandale, Loudoun, Manassas, Springfield (Medical Education Campus) and Woodbridge, through NOVA Online, and through high school dual enrollment. NOVA offers more than 100 associate degree and certificate programs to help students reach their academic and professional goals through university transfers and access to the most in-demand careers.

WASHINGTON - Navy upped the ante in the fight to fill critical billets at sea March 1 as the New Detailing Marketplace Assignment Policy (DMAP) went live, offering a wide range of incentives to Sailors in sea-intensive ratings in exchange for staying at sea in critical operational billets. The Navy announced DMAP Phase 1, which will replace the existing Sea Shore Flow policy, in NAVADMIN 280/21 on Dec. 9. These changes are the result of a multi-year effort consisting of focus groups and surveys with Sailors from around the fleet. Those in the most sea intensive ratings, will have options such as new incentive pay, advancements, and future shore duty priority in exchange for spending more time on sea duty. Those in ratings that are not in the first phase of DMAP will still see non-monetary incentives, such credits for staying at sea that can be cashed in for priority in shore tours selection later. "We know you want options and flexibility, so if you're eligible to promote, we'll offer you advancement. If it’s money, we’ll have the have detailing marketplace incentive pay that ranges from $300 to $800 monthly,” said Vice Adm. John B. Nowell, Jr., the chief of naval personnel "The whole idea here is what incentivizes you, so you feel good about staying at sea." Phase 1 starts with four ratings: Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuels), Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Aircraft (Handling), Gas Turbine Systems Technician (Mechanical) and Culinary Specialist. The remaining 12 sea-intensive ratings will be gradually phased in to DMAP along with the rest of the enlisted ratings in future phases. Based on Sailor feedback, career options and incentives for those in sea-intensive ratings will expand both during and after completing their first, four-year sea tour as an Apprentice (E4 and below). At this point, incentives will be offered to serve a follow-on, three-year sea tour at the Journeyman (E5) level. This is called the DMAP 4+3 Sea Tour Option. Here’s a look at the incentives on the table. Advance-to-Position (A2P) gives E4 Sailors eligible for E5 the chance to apply for an E5 sea duty assignment in the detailing marketplace, and if selected, be permanently advanced to that paygrade once in the job. Sailors must have passed their most recent Navy Wide Advancement Exam but have not yet been selected for advancement. They must also extend or reenlist to meet the three-year tour length. Command Advance-to-Position (CA2P) allows Commanding Officers to retain top-performing, advancement-eligible E4 Sailors who have not yet entered the detailing marketplace by permanently advancing them to E5 to fill a vacant, or projected to become vacant, E5 billet at their current command. These Sailors advance to E5 upon filling the E5 position at their current command. Similar to A2P, Sailors must have enough obligate service to complete a total of seven years at their command, including any training pipelines. If necessary, they must extend or reenlist to fill the billet. This is a great option for Sailors looking for geolocation stability. CA2P replaces MAP for the four Phase I ratings at the E4 to E5 level but will only be available at afloat commands. Detailing Marketplace Incentive Pay (DMIP) is an extra monthly payment for Sailors who take the 4+3 sea duty option, which they will receive for the entire three-year Journeyman sea tour. Initial DMIP rates will be between $200 and $800 per month, depending on location and type of sea duty. All sailors on sea duty will now earn what’s called Continuous Sea Duty Credits (CSDC). A Sailor starts accruing credits when reporting to sea duty and the counter is reset each time a Sailor reports to shore duty. These credits come into play when negotiating shore duty orders. Those with the most credits will get priority consideration in the assignment process giving them an edge when competing for highly sought-after positions. When two equally qualified sailors are competing for a position, these sea duty credits will serve as the tiebreaker. “DMAP Phase I represents the first step towards a truly dynamic, Sailor-focused Detailing Marketplace that will improve Fleet readiness and enrich Sailors’ careers,” Nowell wrote. “Lessons learned from DMAP Phase I will inform subsequent phases and the expansion of Detailing Marketplace incentive options to Sailors in additional ratings.” More details, including points of contact, are available in the NAVADMIN.
