NARR/REF A IS NAVADMIN 304/17, PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM POLICY
CHANGE.
REF B IS OPNAVINST 6110.1J, PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM.
RMKS/1.  To align Navy Reserve mobilization policy with
reference(a), effective immediately:
a.  Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) failures no longer
automatically preclude mobilization. Service members with PFA
failures are now eligible for both voluntary and involuntary
mobilizations.
b.  Navy Reserve Activities (NRAs) should prepare and process
Sailors identified for mobilization, regardless of PFA status.
c.  Mobilization orders cancelled, or approved for cancellation, by
Commander, Navy Reserve Force (COMNAVRESFOR) prior to the date of
this message will remain cancelled.
2.  In accordance with reference (b), Sailors who fail the PFA prior
to mobilization should expect to participate in the Fitness
Enhancement Program (FEP), or equivalent fitness program, at their
ultimate duty station.
3.  Commander, United States Fleet Forces Command (COMUSFLTFORCOM)
will evaluate potential adverse mission impacts this policy may have
on specific mobilization requirements.  If a Sailor with a PFA
failure is determined unfit to fulfill their mobilization orders,
the orders will be cancelled.  Sailors in this circumstance may be
re-tasked by COMNAVRESFOR to a different mobilization requirement.
4.  The Expeditionary Combat Readiness Center (ECRC) will continue
to determine ultimate medical suitability for mobilization.
5.  The Expeditionary Screening Checklist (NAVPERS 1300/22) will
be updated to reflect this policy change.
