DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
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
