RMKS/1.  The Navy experienced a high number of motorcycle (PMV2)
fatalities in fiscal year (FY) 17.  This compares unfavorably to the
previous two fiscal years (FY 15-16), where the Navy experienced 12
fatalities each.  As of 24 MAY 2018, Navy PMV2 fatalities stand at
eight.  As the weather becomes warmer, we will see an increase in
motorcyclists cruising our roadways.
2.  As of 24 May 2018, COMNAVRESFOR has had one Class "A" Motorcycle
Mishap involving a SELRES in an off duty status and eight motorcycle
mishaps involving injuries since the beginning of FY18.  Ultimately,
any mishap involving one of our service members is a potential loss
to our force, reducing our capability to carry out our mission.
The importance of protecting our personnel by completing required
training cannot be overemphasized.
3.  In an effort to reduce PMV2 mishaps, COMNAVRESFOR is
re-stressing the requirements in Ref (A) which pertain to military
in an active duty status, however it is NAVRESFOR's policy that the
same requirements pertain to all members of the selected reserve
regardless of duty status.  Commands will ensure training
requirements for SELRES who are motorcycle owners/operators
are met. Commanders must ensure motorcycle operators are identified,
educated, trained and documented per references (A) through (D).
This NAVRESFOR supersedes References (E) and (F).  NAVRESFOR Safety
Department has developed and distributed a NAVPERS 1070/613
(Rev. 08-12), Motorcycle Safety Acknowledgement Form as a tool to
assist command in identifying and educating personnel on motorcycle
operator training and personal protective equipment (PPE)
requirements.  This form along with many other tools, directives and
resources may be obtained for enforcement of this policy and is
located at: https://private.navyreserve.navy.mil/cnrfc/Special_
Assistants/N00SA/Safety%20Links/Traffic%20Safety.aspx
4.  Training Options:
A. Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) Regional Safety
Offices provides motorcycle training at various Navy installations.
To obtain training, operators may enroll in required motorcycle
training via Enterprise Safety Applications Management System
(ESAMS) at: Https://esams.cnic.navy.mil/esams_gen_2/loginesams.aspx
or at: Http://www.navymotorcyclerider.com/.
B. Department of Defense (DoD) installations (USA, USAF, USCG, USMC)
may also offer motorcycle training courses.  Commands located on or
near another DoD installation should contact their local Safety
Office for course availability and quota requests.
C. Commercial vendors also provide a Motorcycle Safety Foundation
(MSF) or State approved courses.  This option is offerred as an
approved alternative and secondary measure for obtaining motorcycle
training if DoD resources are not available.  Training may be
scheduled during drill weekends or SELRES may request active duty
for training orders to attend motorcycle training.  SELRES are
advised that failure to attend scheduled training may result in
administrative action.
5. Navy Reserve units aligned to active component commands via
ESAMS, such as Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, shall follow the
above methods, submitting requests via their active component chain
of command and forward to the appropriate Navy Operational Support
Center for approval and funding approval through Reserve Component
Command.
6. Tuition assistance is available for SELRES to obtain motorcycle
courses other than Navy provided courses and should be obtained by
submitting a request for tuition via standard form (SF) 182
Authorization Agreement and Certification of Training Form.  Refer
to link provided in Paragraph 3 for additional guidance.
7. Operators are required to provide a copy of their completion
certificate to their command Motorcycle Safety Representative (MSR).
MSRs will ensure completion of training is properly documented via
ESAMS per reference (C).
8. Operational Risk Management (ORM) should be exercised prior to
any Sailor departing for training.  Personnel shall NOT drive over
300 miles (120 miles if traveling by motorcycle) for training.
9. Statistics have proven that motorcycle mishaps and fatalities can
be minimized with the proper training, mentorship and risk
management.  This requires our continual focus and vigilance.  Our
goal is to protect and value our personnel and resources.  Please
stay safe and Share the Road!
10. Request the widest dissemination.  RADM T.W. Luscher sends.//
