Navy Reserve adds, deletes hundreds of jobs to boost its relevance to future fights

Big changes are underway in the Navy Reserve as officials take a top-to-bottom look at thousands of units to decide which missions and which jobs make the most sense for the force’s future. So far, it’s led to the elimination of hundreds of positions, but the addition of hundreds of others.

Navy Reserve leaders are about 80% finished with a process that’s examining 6,000 separate military billets, asking whether those positions are the best use of the reserve component’s budget and manpower, and with a focus on the extent to which they contribute to DoD’s broader shift to great power competition.
