RMKS/1. This ALNAVRESFOR highlights Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Navy
Reserve Personnel Program Excellence force trends and behaviors,
outlines FY-21 Reserve Personnel Program Excellence Award
(RPPEA) benchmark criteria and introduces FY 2022 RPPEA vision
Additionally, this message is intended to reemphasize our commitment
towards promoting a Culture of Excellence in line with reference (a),
and the need to retain the best and brightest talent on our Navy
team.
2. FY-20 Trends and Behavior. Our FY-20 retention results were
outstanding and reflected your considerable efforts in recruiting
and retaining talented Sailors. Despite COVID-19 operating
environment, we have maintained excellent retention throughout FY-20,
largely accomplished through your dedication to excellence and Sailor
2025 initiatives which are intended to provide Sailors with the
choices, flexibility and transparency they have come to expect. Our
Sailors are proudly declaring that the Navy remains their employer of
choice. We have endeavored to provide world-class customer service
and dedicated Sailors to ensure proper administrative handling of our
Sailors and their families, and in FY-21 we aim to continue the
retention trends as well as increase other personnel program
resources to ensure the greatest reach of resources to Sailors.
3. FY-21 Retention Environment. Recognizing that we are in a Great
Power Competition, challenges at-sea and across the globe require
that we retain the experience and proficiency required to ensure we
are operationally ready. Every Sailor is critical in that endeavor,
whether supporting our Reserve Sailors, conducting training
exercises, or sailing into harms way. Our Reserve Force is vital to
the war-fighting capabilities of our Navy. Your leadership and
engagement at every level is needed to maintain our retention
momentum and ensure we are properly manned for every mission.
4. FY-21 Benchmarks.
a. Seventy-seven percent aggregate reenlistment rate with Reserve
Affiliation for Zones A through C.
(1) We are a Total Force, both Active and Reserve meeting the
mission together. Sailors leaving Active Duty or Full-Time Support
to affiliate with our Selected Reserve force shows the level of
commitment our Sailors have as well as the commitment of the
leadership to encourgage continued service in other components.
b. Ninety percent on the annual Career Information Program Review
(CIPR).
c. Ninety percent Veterans Opportunity to Work (VOW) Act compliance
rate.
d. Zero unresolved Navy Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE) discrepancies
for Selected Reserve exam cycles 107 and 108 and Active Duty exam
cycles 248, 249 and 250.
e. Ninety-five percent timely Drill pay (IDT pay) adjudication.
5. Reserve Personnel Program Excellence Award. The annual RPPEA is
built upon the tenets in references (b) and (c), Brilliant on the
Basics. Commands will be RPPEA eligible if they meet or exceed the
FY-21 program benchmarks cited in paragraph 4.
a. Reenlistment rate Computation Exceptions. A zone with zero
transactions at or before end of active obligated service will
qualify as a 100 percent reenlistment rate if the command has
qualifying transactions in the other zones. Only two zones may be
allowed to default to 100 percent.
b. Loss transactions on a Sailor transferred from a command due
to pending separation, medical hold or a legal hold will reflect on
the command the Sailor was last attached to in an accounting code
100 status.
c. Commands must have, at a minimum, one zone of qualifying
transactions to be eligible for the RPPEA. Waivers may be considered
on a case-by-case basis for small commands that have outstanding
programs but no junior Sailors.
d. Echelon II commands, Type Commanders (TYCOM) and Immediate
Superiors in Command (ISIC) will determine the necessity of waivers
where command-level performance and personnel complement dictate.
Requests for waivers of any award element in paragraph 4 must be
submitted in writing via the respective ISIC/TYCOM with specific
justification. Waiver requests must be signed by the Commanding
Officer. Requests not positively endorsed at any level will not be
considered. Waiver approval authority resides with Echelon II
commands.
e. TYCOM and direct reporting counselors will evaluate and
submit eligible commands to their respective Echelon II commands no
later than 3 January 2022.
6. RPPEA Announcement and Recognition. Echelon II command will
announce their FY-21 RPPEA recipients following the consolidation of
Echelon III and direct reporting command submissions no later than
1 February 2022. Following the announcement message, awardees may
fly the Retention Excellence Award pennant to signify receipt of the
RPPEA and may paint their command anchor(s) gold until release of the
following year's award announcement message. Commander, Navy Reserve
Force (CNRF) will provide commendation certificates for all
qualifying commands.
7. The future of RPPEA is to promote a culture of excellence
throughout our Reserve Force. Adding two new metrics for FY 21 allows
the award to move from a Career Counselor focused award to a Command
award. In FY 2022, three additional metrics will be added: RASW
(Reserve Affiliation Success Workshop) completion, Command
Indoctrination program completion, and Command Climate Assessment
with ISIC debrief. The three new metrics drive policy compliance,
promote Brilliant on the Basics and successful onboarding of our
Sailors.

9. Shipmates, the changes above in the Reserve Personnel Programs
Excellence Award Criteria drive to a higher standard - A Standard of
Excellence - appropriate for our Navy Reserve Force. The process is,
by design, extremely competetive in the areas that impact our Sailors
the most. Striving to earn recognition via selection of the RPPEA
will make our Force better, stronger, and more capable...while
contributing to the establishment and maintenance of a Culture of
Excellence.
