1. Purpose. To establish Naval
Reserve Intelligence Program (NRIP) procedures for nomination
and selection of Reserve Intelligence Area Commanders, NRIP unit
Commanding Officers and Executive Officers, and assignees to other
05 and 06 pay billets, in accordance with references (a) through
(c).
2. Cancellation. COMNAVRESINTCOMINST
5400.5D.
3. Background. Policies for
the nomination and selection of RIACs, COs, XOs, and assignees
to other 05/06 billets are issued by COMNAVRESFOR and COMNAVAIRESFOR.
The importance of these key leadership positions cannot be overemphasized.
The needs of the NRIP dictate that only the most qualified persons
are nominated for these assignments. Nomination boards must,
therefore, be well-organized, impartial, and thoroughly informed
on all eligible candidates, as well as on the desired qualification
and eligibility criteria for each position.
4. Selection of Reserve Intelligence
Area Commanders
a. Guidance. The RIAC is a key member of the NRIP national management team as well as the leader principally responsible for individual and unit performance throughout the RIA. In addition to the qualities desired of unit Commanding Officers, the RIAC must have broad executive abilities. The RIAC must be able to devote extraordinary time and energy to NRIP affairs on an "as needed" basis, must command respect within the Naval Intelligence
profession, and must be able to represent
the NRIP favorably within the regional Naval Reserve community.
He or she must have a proven record in command billets; be a
strong administrator; and be able to deal impartially and judiciously
with personnel matters of a sensitive nature. The RIAC must be
able to manage through a staff and exert leadership over the variety
of units and billets present in the RIA. In assessing qualifications,
special consideration shall be given to prior service as COMNAVRESINTCOM
Chief of Staff or a Deputy Chief of Staff, because of the broad
exposure to national issues affecting the NRIP which results from
such service and in recognition of the personal dedication that
such service evidences. In addition, past performance as the
RIA Chief of Staff, a Deputy RIAC, or other member of the RIAC
staff should be considered.
b. RIAC Tenure. Tenure of
RIACS will generally be two years; however, COMNAVRESINTCOM may
recommend to COMNAVAIRESFOR shortening or lengthening that term
on an individual basis and within the limitations of eligibility.
Command tenure limits of reference (a) apply to the RIAC assignment;
however, waivers of tenure limits will be considered when sufficient
justification exists. No later than 15 February, COMNAVRESINTCOM
will notify all RIACS of their status with regard to continuation
for the following fiscal year.
c. Notice of Open RIAC Positions.
Prior to 1 March, COMNAVRESINTCOM will announce those RIAS in
which a replacement RIAC needs to be selected for the next fiscal
year, and solicit applications from qualified applicants throughout
the NRIP. Close liaison among incumbent RIACs, LACAIR/COs of
cognizant air activities, and Readiness Commanders (for surface
program units) is required to ensure that all eligible
1635 designated officers are made aware of the process and provided
the opportunity to apply for RIAC billets as applicable and desired.
d. Eligibility Criteria.
Applicants for RIAC assignment must meet the following eligibility
requirements:
(1) Be a 1635 designated Captain.
(2) Not be subject to mandatory retirement due to age or other statutory or regulatory limitations during the upcoming fiscal year.
(3) Have a current, favorably adjudicated
SBI/SSBI/PR.
e. Application Procedure. Applicants will apply by letter to the cognizant RIAC via the appropriate chain of command; these letters must reach the RIAC by 1 May. Applicants currently assigned to a RIA other than that for which they are applying should apply via their current chain of command through the RIAC
level. Members of ONI HQ 0170 and the
COMNAVRESINTCOM Management IVTU should apply via CO, ONI HQ 0170.
Applications must include at a minimum the following information:
(1) A current typed Officer Qualification
Questionnaire (CNAVRES 1301/4).
(2) A current Naval Reserve Qualifications
Questionnaire (NRPC 1200/1).
(3) A current full-length photo in Summer Khaki.
(4) Results of most recent PRT
including height/weight and, if necessary, body fat determination.
(5) Results of most recent adjudicated
SBI/SSBI/PR.
Submission of copies of Fitness Reports
for the past five years and an Officer Summary Record is strongly
encouraged but not required. Enclosure (1) provides a sample
format for the application.
f. Screening and Nomination Procedures.
COMNAVRESINTCOM will convene a nomination board in July to consider
all applications and select nominees for forthcoming vacant RIAC
assignments. However, to ensure proper consideration of local
needs and circumstances, each RIAC will first evaluate all applications
for command of his/her RIA. The RIAC will: consolidate all applications;
verify applicant eligibility; comment on applications, as desired,
for consideration by the nomination board; rank order all applicants;
and forward complete application packages to reach COMNAVRESINTCOM
before 1 July. Enclosure (2) provides a sample format for the
forwarding letter.
g. Nomination Board Actions and
Membership. The RIAC nomination board will consider all applicants
for each RIAC position to be filled, review the recommendations
of the incumbent RIAC, select a primary nominee and two alternate
nominees (if at least three qualified officers apply) for each
vacancy, and forward these nominations to COMNAVAIRESFOR by 20
July in the format of enclosure (3). The COMNAVRESINTCOM Chief
Staff Officer is responsible for receipt of all applications,
administrative arrangements for board proceedings, and retention
and ultimate destruction of all notes and records. The nomination
board shall be conducted in accordance with reference (b), and
shall consist of the following five numbers:
(1) COMNAVRESINTCOM - President
(2) Deputy COMNAVRESINTCOM.
(3) An incumbent or former RIAC.
(4/5) Two 163X Captains not in contention
for a RIAC assignment.
h. Interim RIAC Assignments. In the event that an unanticipated vacancy occurs, COMNAVRESINTCOM will appoint an interim RIAC meeting eligibility criteria. RIAC billets filled
in this manner will be considered to
be coming vacant at the next regular selection cycle, and the
interim appointee may apply for selection through the competitive
process.
5. Selection of Pay Unit Commanding
Officers
a. Guidance. The procedures
for selection of pay unit commanding officers will be in accordance
with reference (b) and as amplified in this directive. Nominations
for unit commanding officers will be based upon qualifications,
command potential, and the needs of the particular unit. A special
effort should be made to provide maximum command opportunity,
but the best interests of the Navy must be given priority. Although
CO nominees should preferably be fully qualified for their mobilization
billets, first consideration should be given to the nominee's
ability to ensure maximum mobilization readiness of the unit.
Among factors to be considered in assessing command potential
are: leadership (ability to set imaginative goals and inspire
high performance from others); administrative and managerial ability;
judgment; dependability; military bearing, professional knowledge;
energy and enthusiasm; desire to excel; and health and physical
fitness. In assessing qualifications, special consideration should
be given to prior service as a member of the COMNAVRESINTCOM staff
or the RIA staff because of the broad exposure to NRIP management
issues which results from such service. Officers having such
experience should generally be given preference over otherwise
similarly qualified officers lacking staff experience.
b. Command Tenure. Tenure
of unit CO's will generally be two years. Unless one of the conditions
cited below is present, COs in their first year of command will
be continued in command for a second year of tenure without formal
screening or nomination board process. (However, the conditions
cited should not be construed as prohibiting continuation,
since waivers can be secured in cases of sufficient justification.)
(1) Performance has been below standards, or the gaining
command has requested that the officer not be continued.
(2) Officer is a selectee for
promotion and will be in overgrade or over-ceiling status upon
promotion. (Alternatively, in such cases the officer concerned
may be transferred administratively to the IVTU upon promotion,
but given additional duty (ADDU) orders to continue in the capacity
of CO of the unit).
(3) Officer's appointment to
another position is in the best interests of the service.
(4) Continuation would result
in exceeding the command tenure limits of reference (a).
(5) Officer is subject to mandatory
retirement prior to the end of the second year.
(6) Officer's own request.
(7) Other extraordinary circumstances.
c. RIAC's Forecast of CO Vacancies.
Prior to 1 February, RIACs shall submit to COMNAVRESINTCOM a
consolidated list of units in the format of enclosure (4) identifying:
(1) Units for which the CO is
in his or her first year of tenure, and continuation is recommended.
(2) Units for which the CO is
in his or her first year of tenure and continuation is not recommended,
including the reason for this recommendation (which may or may
not be adverse.)
(3) Units for which the CO is
in his or her second year of tenure, and for which the CO position
will come vacant.
(4) Units for which the CO is
in his or her second year of tenure, but further continuation
is recommended, including substantive and compelling justification
(which can be the basis for a waiver request to COMNAVAIRESFOR).
d. National Notification of Open
CO Opportunities. Prior to 1 March, COMNAVRESINTCOM will
consolidate all RIAC forecasts and then issue a single announcement
listing all forthcoming unit CO vacancies and soliciting applications
from qualified applicants throughout the NRIP. Close liaison
among RIACs, LACAIRs, and Readiness Commanders is required to
ensure that all eligible 1635 officers are made aware of the process
and provided the opportunity to apply for command as applicable
and desired. The consolidated national notification of CO vacancies
is not meant to preclude a local announcement by the RIAC, if
desired.
e. Eligibility Criteria.
Applicants for NRIP Unit CO assignment must meet the following
eligibility requirements:
(1) Hold designator 1635.
(2) Be eligible for assignment
to a mobilization billet in the unit, according to the billet
criteria specified in the Reserve Unit Assignment Document (RUAD).
(3) Not exceed command tenure
requirements of reference (a) unless a compelling need, justifying
a waiver request to COMNAVAIRESFOR, can be cited.
(4) Not be subject to mandatory retirement due to age or other statute or regulation during the upcoming fiscal year.
(5) Have a current, favorably
adjudicated SBI/SSBI/PR.
f. Seniority Within Unit.
As a COMNAVAIRESFOR appointee, the CO takes precedence over all
other members of the unit, regardless of seniority. An officer
appointed to command by competent authority thereby becomes the
senior member of the unit. It is COMNAVRESINTCOM policy that
no other officer assigned to a unit be serving in a grade higher
than that of the CO, but relative seniority within grade (i.e.,
by date of rank) need not be maintained if the interests of the
unit are best served by such appointment.
g. Application Procedure.
Applicants for NRIP Unit CO assignment will apply by letter to
the cognizant RIAC via the appropriate chain of command; these
letters must reach the RIAC by 1 May. Applications for assignment
as CO, ONI HQ 0170 will apply to COMNAVRESINTCOM via their current
chain of command. Applicants who desire to be considered for
more than one assignment within a RIA may do so with a single
application, and may specify an order of preference, if desired.
Applicants currently assigned to a RIA other than that to which
the unit belongs should apply via their current chain of command
through the RIAC level. Members of ONI HQ 0170 and the COMNAVRESINTCOM
Management IVTU should apply via CO, ONI HQ 0170. Applications
must include at a minimum the following information:
(1) A current typed Officer Qualification
Questionnaire (CNAVRES 1301/4).
(2) A current Naval Reserve Qualifications
Questionnaire (NRPC 1200/1).
(3) A current full-length photo in Summer
Khaki.
(4) Results of most recent PRT and height/weight
and, if necessary, body fat determination.
(5) Date of most recent adjudicated
SBI/SSBI/PR.
Submission of copies of Fitness Reports
for the past five years and an Officer Summary Record is strongly
encouraged, but not required. Enclosure (5) provides a sample
format for the application.
h. Nomination Board Procedures and Membership. In each RIA in which forthcoming vacant CO billets have been announced, the RIAC, in coordination with the cognizant LACAIR, will convene a nomination board in May or June. This board will review, evaluate, and verify eligibility of all applicants, and will submit a primary and two alternate nominees (if at least three eligible officers apply) for each vacancy. An alternate nominee should not be the primary nominee for command of another unit (although the same officer may be alternate nominee for more than one unit), and alternate nominees must meet all eligibility criteria for command of the unit. The nomination board will forward its recommendations, together with Officer Qualification Questionnaires (CNAVRES 1301/4) for all primary and alternate nominees, to be received by COMNAVRESINTCOM before 1 July. Enclosure (6) provides a sample format for reporting the results of the nomination board. Conduct of this board shall be in accordance with reference (b). The RIAC is responsible for receipt of all applications, administrative arrangements for board proceedings, briefing the board members concerning unique needs of the RIA and units, reporting board results on behalf of the board president, and retention and ultimate destruction of all notes and records. A SELRES flag officer appointed by COMNAVAIRESFOR (Code 55) will preside over the nomination board. Because reference (b) requires that a flag officer preside over the nomination board for air unit COs, RIACs and LACAIRs should coordinate the scheduling of these boards to allow the same flag officer appointee to participate in both boards, if possible.
Membership of the board both be as follows:
(1) SELRES flag officer appointed
by COMNAVAIRESFOR - President.
(2) Incumbent RIAC.
(3) LACAIR or his designee.
(4) RIPO, unless otherwise directed
by COMNAVRESINTCOM.
(5) A 163X Captain not in contention
for any of the positions being considered.
i. Criteria for Selection.
By their nature, command nomination boards perform both a screening
function in evaluating the qualifications of applicants, and a
detailing function in matching available personnel to the
billet needs of the RIA as a whole. To this end, the RIAC should
take an active role in advising the President and other board
members of unique needs and circumstances related to staffing
of units and of the RIA staff. In selecting nominees for unit
command, it is important to closely match the requirements of
both the program in general, and the specific unit in particular,
with the qualifications and records of individual applicants.
j. COMNAVRESINTCOM Endorsement
of Nomination Board Reports. COMNAVRESINTCOM will review
reports of all CO nomination boards, and will consolidate and
forward all nomination board reports to arrive at COMNAVAIRESFOR
by 20 July, explaining fully any cases of non-concurrence with
the nomination board's recommendations. Enclosure (7) is a sample
format for this forwarding letter.
k. Interim CO Assignments.
Interim CO assignments will be made in accordance with reference
(b).
6. Selection of Pay Unit Executive Officers and Other Senior Officers. Reference (a) requires formal screening board action to determine eligibility and qualification of personnel for assignment to all O5 and O6 pay billets. In addition, COMNAVRESINTCOM policy is that executive officers, regardless of grade, be selected by board action. To comply with these policies, the board which is convened in accordance with paragraph 5 above to nominate commanding officers should also select executive officers and screen applicants for all other O5 and O6 billets in Category A units, including Naval Reserve
Command Intelligence Support (NRCIS)
billets. For other than CO/XO billets, it is recommended that
the board screen applicants to select a list of best qualified
candidates equal in number to the number of expected 0-5 and 0-6
vacant billets plus two alternates (if a sufficient number of
qualified candidates are available), and that the RIAC subsequently
detail selectees to specific billet assignments. This added flexibility
will greatly reduce the requirement for holding additional boards
as a result of unforeseen billet or personnel changes. Requirements
specific to the selection of executive officers and other senior
officers are as follows:
a. National Notification of Anticipated
O5/O6 Vacancies. Prior to 1 March, RIACs shall submit to
COMNAVRESINTCOM a forecast of anticipated O5 and O6 vacancies,
with the exception of unit CO vacancies (which are submitted separately).
The difficulty of forecasting these vacancies accurately is recognized;
however, to minimize subsequent ad hoc announcements and selections,
RIACs should make every effort to be as accurate and complete
as possible in compiling these forecasts. A sample format is
given in enclosure (8). COMNAVRESINTCOM will consolidate all
RIAC submissions and issue a single national announcement of all
forthcoming NRIP unit and NRCIS O5 and O6 billets. The issuance
of this consolidated announcement does not preclude a local announcement
of vacancies by the RIAC.
b. Application Procedures.
Applications for assignment to executive officer or other O5/O6
billets should follow the format and content prescribed above
for CO applications. Applicants may, where appropriate, apply
for CO, XO, and/or other senior officer billets in a single application
letter.
c. Selection Announcement.
Assignments to billets other than CO billets require no further
approval and may be assumed final. However, because applicants
for XO and other senior officer billets are often also applicants
for CO billets, RIACs will withhold announcement of XO and other
O5/O6 selections until after the announcement of selections for
CO billets by COMNAVAIRESFOR.
7. Selection of COs and XOs of IVTUs. Authority to appoint COs of VTUs is delegated by reference (a) to the cognizant order-writing authority (LACAIR in the case of IVTUs). However, it is COMNAVRESINTCOM policy that selection of COs and XOs of IVTUs be by formal board action. Accordingly, RIACs, in conjunction with cognizant LACAIRs, shall convene local boards as needed to consider applicants and make selections for these assignments. Because the IVTU CO frequently serves as RIA Chief of Staff, it is desirable in cases in which a RIAC turnover is pending to delay the convening of this board until after the announcement of the prospective RIAC's selection, and to involve that officer as a member of the IVTU CO/XO selection board. Precepts, eligibility, and selection procedures are generally as for Category A units, except that only local announcement of the vacancies is required, and the tenure limits of reference (a) are
not applicable. Membership of the IVTU
CO/XO selection board shall be as follows:
(1) LACAIR or his designee
(2) Incumbent RIAC
(3) RIPO
(4/5) Two 163X Captains not in contention.
8. Forms
a. Officer Qualification Questionnaire
(CNAVRES 1301/4) has been discontinued by COMNAVRESFOR. However,
the information provided on this form is considered essential
to an adequate evaluation of an officer's experience and qualifications.
Accordingly, applicants should continue to use locally reproduced
copies of the OQQ form until an acceptable substitute becomes
available.
b. Naval Reserve Qualification Questionnaire
(NRPC 1200/1) is mailed annually from NRPC to individuals. Additional
copies may be obtained from Naval Reserve Personnel Center (Code
22), 4400 Dauphine Street, New Orleans, LA 71046-7800.
c. Officer Summary Record is available
to officers on request from Chief of Naval Personnel (Pers-32),
Washington, DC 20370-5320. Requests must contain name, rank,
SSN, designator, mailing address, daytime telephone number, and
officer's signature.

Ref: (a) COMNAVRESINTCOMINST 5400.5E
(b) COMNAVRESFORINST 1001.5A
1. In accordance with reference (a),
the following recommendations for continuation of commanding officers
and forecast of forthcoming vacancies are submitted.
a. The following COs assumed command
on 1 Oct 96 and are recommended for continuation for a second
year of tenure:
Unit Drill Site CO grade CO AIC 6666 NAS Anytown 05 CDR G. H. India, 333-44- 5555/1635
DIAHQ 8888 NAS Anytown 05 CDR J. K. Lima, 232-44- 6776/1635
b. CAPT M. N. Oscar, 987-65-4321/1635,
assumed command of ONI 2345 (06 billet, drill site NAS Anytown)
on 15 Apr 96. I recommend that the tenure limit of reference
(b) be waived in his case and that he be continued in command
through the end of FY98. This unit is currently engaged in a
major restructuring to better satisfy the need of its gaining
command. Since assuming command, CAPT Oscar has maintained frequent
and continuing liaison with cognizant gaining command personnel,
reestablishing their confidence and support. I consider his personal
involvement and leadership critical to the success of this restructuring
effort.
c. The following COs assumed command
on 1 Oct 95 and will complete their two-year tenure on 30 Sep
97. Accordingly, these unit command assignments should be considered
vacant for FY98:
Unit Drill Site CO grade CO
AIC 7777 NAS Anytown 05 CDR P.Q. Romeo, 121-22-2121/1635

was appointed CO, MARDEZLANT 9797 (O6 billet, drill site NAVSTA
Pierside), 1 Oct 96. CAPT Whiskey intends to apply for other
assignments. Should he not be selected for another assignment,
I will recommend his continuation. However, in order to encourage
applications from other officers, I recommend that this billet
be advertised as vacant.
