PART II - FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A. REINFORCING AND SUSTAINING REQUIREMENTS
Naval requirements for SELRES reinforcing and sustaining units and individuals may be overstated. Requirements may be overstated because unresourced active component Navy billets are routinely assigned to the SELRES, because the immediate need for all reinforcing and sustaining billets is not confirmed and because mobilization billet assignments have little validity. As a result, the Navy may be expending resources on personnel and facilities for which no need exists.
DISCUSSION OF DETAILS
Background
Chief of Naval Operations Instruction 1000.16G, "Manual of Navy Total Force Manpower Polices and Procedures" (the Manual), June 11, 1990, issued policies and procedures …show more content…
Furthermore, as of November 5, 1990, only 3,027 of the more than 85,000 members of Naval SELRES reinforcing and sustaining units had been activated. Although those figures are consistent with the Navy's intentions of relying primarily on active component forces for short-term contingencies, we believe that the experience of Operation Desert Shield showed that relatively few Naval SELRES reinforcing and sustaining augmentees would be required in crises short of full mobilization. The OSD had estimated that it would take the former Soviet Union from 1 to 2 years to regenerate the capacity to mount a threat that might require mobilization. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact make the threat even more remote. Therefore, critical examination of the urgency of need for SELRES reinforcing and sustaining billets should enable the Navy to reduce Reserve personnel costs without adverse effects on needed …show more content…
The Navy has established administrative SELRES billets for which there are no corresponding mobilization billet requirements. The incumbents of those billets are intended to provide administrative support for the other Reservists assigned to the unit and would not be called to active duty with the unit. Additionally, the Navy has established SELRES billets for individuals and units that are assigned only a mobilization station (an active force unit or activity), but no specific mobilization billet assignments. For example, 21 of 28 personnel assigned to the u.s.s. STANDLEY and 40 of 50 personnel assigned to the u.s.s. WADDELL were not assigned to a specific mobilization billet in the ships' companies. We question whether. there is a need for a SELRES billet for which there is no specific mobilization billet. Reinforcing and sustaining billets for which there are no mobilization billets should be eliminated. Incumbents of such billets should be reassigned to valid mobilization billets, transferrEad to the Individual Ready Reserve, or
