RMKS/1. This message announces Commander, Navy Reserve Force (CNRF)
policy and guidance for the calendar year 2022 Meritorious
Advancement Program (MAP) for Selected Reserve (SELRES) Sailors and
supersedes reference (a).
2. Intent. 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 rather than the direct advancement quotas
executed by the active duty. Additionally, Reserve MAP has specific
controls to ensure that our force maintains a balanced and healthy
total advancement opportunity percentage for each rating. Allotted
quotas to Navy Reserve units will continue to be referred to as
"nominations" to manage leadership expectations. The Navy Reserve
Force will continue to convene an Echelon II MAP board to ensure
that nominations and selections are determined utilizing a board
precept, convening order and selection standard consistent with
promotion boards.
3. 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.
4. Eligibility. MAP is open to all E-3, E-4 and E-5 Sailors who
meet advancement eligibility requirements 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. MAP Package required attachments. 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.
5. 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. Nominations will be 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.
6. SELRES MAP Quotas: All E-3, E-4 and E-5 rates are eligible for
