COMNAVRESINTCOM INSTRUCTION 5200.2

Subj: RIAC QUARTERLY COMMENTS

Encl: (1) Outline for RIAC Quarterly Comments

1. Purpose. To establish a formal mechanism by which RIACs advise headquarters quarterly of the general state of the RIA and of any items of particular interest or concern.

2. Background. Quarterly RIAC comments were required by the old Automated Quarterly Management Report (AQMR). However, with the delay between cancellation of the AQMR and implementation of the Automated Information Management System (AIMS), guidance on submission of quarterly comments became unclear. Moreover, a wide disparity grew among RIAs in the type and length of comments submitted. This directive is being issued in order to make RIAC comments more consistent, meaningful, and useful.

3. Policy. Submission of quarterly comments by the RIAC provides a systematic method by which RIAs can communicate to the Commander, Deputy Commander, and national staff their specific concerns, problems, and successes. Comments should not be a regurgitation of AIMS data and unit comments, but rather a synthesis and management analysis of RIA data and unit comments from the RIAC's perspective. RIACs should consider commenting on all functional areas and any other areas he/she considers appropriate or necessary.

4. Action.

a. Submission schedule. RIACs will submit quarterly comments to reach headquarters no later than the 15th of the month following the end of the quarter. Submit via any media: BBS, hardcopy, or fax.

b. Format. A suggested outline for RIAC comments is at enclosure (1). This outline will serve as a checklist of issues RIAs should consider addressing. It is not expected that each issue will be addressed each time; however, regardless of which issues are addressed, please address them in the order given in enclosure (1). Moreover, do not interpret the length of the enclosure (1) list as requiring lengthy comments. There is no "expected" length.

c. Required comments. The following comments are required, when applicable:

(1) Analysis of advancement results, specifically, why didn't TIR-eligible or TIR and exam-eligible personnel take the exam. These comments will be submitted only for the quarters in which exam results are received.

(2) Unacceptable conditions of drill site facilities, including berthing and messing, drill spaces and SCIF access, required equipment and support materials, and connectivity.

d. Unless otherwise specified, provide comments, not data; data will be provided by AIMS. Quarterly comments are not necessarily tied to AIMS, i.e., they are not "AIMS comments."

5. Report. "RIAC Quarterly Comments"(COMNAVRESINTCOM 5200-1) is the only recurring general text report required from the RIAs. This report has been approved for three years from the date of this directive. Any other similar reporting which may have been previously tasked is hereby cancelled. Recurring AIMS data reporting will be addressed in a forthcoming AIMS directive.
