NAVY RESERVE STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE

Posture for WARFIGHTING

Our Sailors, operational units, and readiness units of action are our weapons system. We are prepared for the mission, ready to fight and win decisively on Day One.

Our Training and Administration of the Reserves community will ensure our Navy Reserve Activities (NRAs), Navy Mobilization Processing Sites, and command staffs are able to mobilize the entire Force within 30 days. NRA and unit leaders will maintain 80% WARFIGHTING READINESS across the Force.

Strengthen our WARFIGHTERS

Our Sailors understand the significance of our mobilization billets and warfighting contributions to the Total Force. We possess specialized skillsets and capabilities, unique to the Reserve Force, and provide the Navy additional capacity.

Reserve Sailors, their families, and our civilian workforce are connected to each other and to the Navy Total Force as One Team. We will retain and promote Sailors who embody our culture of excellence, resilience, and warfighting readiness, and develop and select leaders who are committed to the personal and professional growth of our Sailors and civilians.

Accelerate Refining the FOUNDATION

Our Force is a learning organization, continuously self-assessing and optimizing our force structure, talent management, and training to meet the warfighting needs of the Navy.

We will focus on quality of service by simplifying processes, easing administrative burdens, and removing barriers to Selected Reserve participation, refining the continuum of service for greater active-reserve component permeability. We will accelerate delivery of force-wide programs, capabilities, and infrastructure that build warfighting readiness and competencies.

Our Focus

We integrate with the Navy Total Force to deter, defend and, if necessary, defeat our adversaries.

The global security environment demands our urgent preparations and readiness to respond to the call, when needed. We will posture our Force for warfighting by accelerating the pace of organizational development and strengthening our warfighters. The Navy Reserve Force will be READY on DAY ONE!
