RMKS/1. PURPOSE. To codify planning efforts ISO conducting
mobilization exercises (MOBEXs) to improve Reserve Component (RC)
readiness, validate Adaptive Mobilization (AM) processes against the
reference (a) capability requirement of mobilizing 50,000 Selected
Reservists (SELRES) in 30 days, and incorporate lessons learned to
improve AM for long-term strategic competition.
2. BACKGROUND.
 2.A. In accordance with reference (b), Commander, Navy Reserve
Force (CNRF) planned and executed three MOBEXs in FY-23 to develop,
test, and evaluate Distributed Activation (DA) processes. As the
Navy further improves its RC mass-mobilization capabilities,
Commander, Navy Reserve Force (CNRF) will continue to exercise and
evaluate our progress in applying the AM construct directed in
reference (b) by disseminating and rapidly incorporating lessons
learned with MOBEX stakeholders.
 2.B. CNRF will continue leveraging Force readiness improvements
directed in reference (c) to ensure continuous compliance with the
standards and requirements outlined therein, and continue
improvements to enterprise MOB readiness tracking systems and
processes to include Annual Readiness Questionnaire (ARQ) and
T-Ready. To improve efficiency, capacity, and accuracy of our
processes, critical improvement efforts to key supporting documents
(KSD) including NAVPERS 1300/22, NAVMED 1300/4, and those comprising
the PAYPERS packet continue. Ongoing improvements to the collection,
submission, and processing of KSDs via systems and processes such as
ZipServe, Defense Travel System (DTS), and Navy Pay systems remain a
top priority as well.
 2.C. In accordance with direction provided in reference (d) and
reference (e), this message establishes planning guidance for FY-24
MOBEX events to ensure our ability to mass-mobilize 50,000 SELRES in
30 days. Iterative planning and coordination will occur IAW
respective direction per para (5) and para (6) during individually
scheduled, MOBEX-specific planning meetings. MOBEX planning meeting
schedule updates will be promulgated sepcor via regularly scheduled
AM action officer teleconferences, individual MOBEX exercise orders
(EXORDs), or ECH IV-directed communications IAW para (5).
3. SCHEDULE.
 3.A. Preparation and planning will begin for four MOBEXs in FY-24
in accordance with guidance below:
 3.A.(1). MOBEX 24-1.
 3.A.(1).a. Concept of Operations (CONOPS). CNRF will
coordinate and execute the war gaming phase of the operational
planning team (OPT) process as a table-top exercise (TTX) to be held
in-person in Norfolk, VA to test and evaluate OPT-developed
potential courses of action (COA).
 3.A.(1).b. Objectives. As directed in reference (g), utilize
processes of reference (h) and reference (i) to ensure a common
understanding of the situation, develop potential courses of action,
aid Commanders in their respective decision cycles, create written
plans and orders to ensure the ability to mass activate.
 3.A.(1).c. Participants.
 3.A.(1).c.i. Supported command: CNRF.
 3.A.(1).c.ii. Supporting commands: Members, by invitation,
from all Echelon (ECH) I/II/III stakeholders as well as various
lower ECH commands.
 3.A.(2). MOBEX 24-2.
 3.A.(2).a. CONOPS: Conduct mass-activation exercise utilizing
improved DA processes coordinated with Navy mobilization
stakeholders and supported Navy commands. Participating ECH III
commands will direct ECH IV commands to plan and execute MOB
processing review for 100% of their respective SELRES force,
assessing ZipServe 4.0 PAYPERS compliance and T-Ready Individual
Training Plans (ITPs) for all SELRES.
 3.A.(2).b. Objectives: Support Train the Force / Mobilize the
Force / Develop the Force LOEs by applying FY-23 MOBEX lessons
learned to further develop the MOB-to-billet pathway and improve
mass-MOB processing. Per reference (j) and reference (k), exercise
ZipServe 4.0 PAYPERS packet processing and T-Ready ITP tracking and
reporting ISO distributed activation and distributed mobilization
via electronic means.
 3.A.(2).c. Participants.
 3.A.(2).c.i. Supported command: CNRF.
 3.A.(2).c.ii. Supporting commands: CNRFC, CNAFR, NSWG-11,
and subordinate commands and units.
 3.A.(3). MOBEX 24-3.
 3.A.(3).a. CONOPS: CNRF will conduct ECH II/III-level exercise
in concert with Navy Pay and Personnel Support Center (NPPSC) via
the Navy Passenger Transportation Office (NAVPTO) exercising
travel ticketing processes in response to a mass activation event.
 3.A.(3).b. Objectives: Support Train the Force / Mobilize the
Force / Develop the Force LOEs by exercising NAVPTO ticket writing
proficiency in coordination with NPPSC and CNRF N33/36. Identify
process limitations among stakeholders and incorporate lessons
learned to further develop RC MOB delivery.
 3.A.(3).c. Participants.
 3.A.(3).c.i. Supported command: CNRF.
 3.A.(3).c.ii. Supporting commands: NPPSC, NAVPTO.
 3.A.(4). MOBEX 24-4.
 3.A.(4).a. CONOPS: CNRF will conduct ECH II/III-level exercise
in concert with PERS-46 and US Fleet Forces (USFF) N1 Global Force
Management (GFM) exercising orders writing processes in response to
a mass activation event.
 3.A.(4).b. Objectives: Support Train the Force / Mobilize the
Force / Develop the Force LOEs by exercising PERS-46 mass-MOB orders
writing proficiency in coordination with USFF N1 GFM and CNRFC
N35/N36 using current systems and processes to source and write
orders from approved templates. Identify process limitations among
stakeholders and incorporate lessons learned to further develop RC
MOB delivery.
 3.A.(4).c. Participants.
 3.A.(4).c.i. Supported command: CNRF.

4. GUIDANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT.
 4.A. Enterprise organizations are to consult with CNRF when
planning lower ECH-directed events intended to exercise MOB
processes and systems. This is to ensure alignment with RESFOR AM
practices and procedures, avoid duplication of effort, and ensure
broad capture of lessons learned and Force-wide dissemination as
appropriate. As the Reserve Force continues to engage with mass
mobilization and MOB-to-billet at all levels, CNRF will provide
guidance and administrative support as needed to the following
efforts in FY-24:
 4.A.(1). Naval Sea Systems (NAVSEA) Reserve Deployment Exercise.
Per Reserve NAVSEA leadership direction, a deployment exercise is to
be conducted to stress the Active Component (AC) gaining commands'
ability to provide for SELRES mass-mobilized via MOB-to-billet.
 4.A.(2). Reserve Response Team Working Group. Per Reserve
Commander, THIRD Fleet (C3F) leadership direction to their
staff, a Reserve Response Team Working Group is being organized to
support Fleet Commanders and associated staff in coordinating the
authorities and plans required to fully leverage their respective RC
units in a mass-MOB scenario via MOB-to-billet.
5. TASKS
 5.A. Deputy Commander, Navy Reserve Force will assign internal
staff roles and responsibilities and coordinate with Navy
stakeholder commands for RC mobilization to accomplish tasks.
