COMMANDANTS TO RELINQUISH RESERVE FUNCTIONS

Actions are underway at CNAVRES headquarters and eNO to implement Congression­al direction to relieve Naval Dis­~ct Commandants of reserve ~sponsibilitles and to shift re­serve regional command and training responsibilities to Naval Reserve readiness commanders.

Commandants now exercising reserve functions under CNAVRES include those in the Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh, Thirteenth and Four_ teenth Naval Districts. Their re­serve responsibilities cover the surface and shore establishment

elements of the relierve. To date, eighteen Naval Re

serve readiness commands have been established across the coun­try, fl;lnct ioning under the cog­nillant District Commandant.

In accordance with guidance received from the Congress dur­ing 1975 budget hearings, Com­mandants are to be divested of their reserve role, including re­serve supplement (RESSUP) staffs and accompanying finan­cial management resources as soon ali an orderly transition can be effected RESSUP starr billets and additional funding are to be used in expanding the readiness command active duty staff struc­ture and functions.

Planning guidelines caU for fewer readiness commands than are now in operation but with larger active duty staffs, accord.. ing t.o a CNAVRES Plans Divi­sion spokesman.

Plans include provisions for several reserve sUPf'Ort activities to provide administrat ive and technical support to the readi­ness command structure_

Ship Transfers to NRF Announced

~cretary of the Navy J. Wil­liam Middendorf II has an­nounced plans to transfer five ships from the active fleet to the Naval Reserve Force (NRF) dur­ing Fiscal Year 1977_ One ship

. of the present NRF will be retired

The ships which will become part of the NRF inventory are: the destroyer USS EDSON (DD-946); and the fleet tugs : USS MOcrOBI (ATF-10S), USS QUAPAW (ATF-llO), USS PAIUTE (ATF-159) and USS PAPAGO (ATF-160)_ Home­ports._of the shlp& will be: i:D­SON, Newport, R.I.; MOCTOBl, Everett, WA; PAIUTE, Riviera Beach / Palm Beach, FL.; PAP AGO, Wilmington, NC.

The same announcement stated that six other ~hips of the active fleet, including the air­craft carrier USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT (CV-42), will be retired. USS HOLDER (00-819) will be retired from the NRF.

EDSON will have a dual assignment as an NRF ship and a training/SUpport platform for the Surface Warfare Officer School at Newport. She is being transferred from PACFLT to LANTFLT.

Although six ships will be stricken from the Naval Register

The Fiscal Year 1977 Defense budget submission calls for a Naval Reserve paid drill strength (Selected Reserve) of approximately 52,000 personnel and the transfer of approx­imately 40,000 paid drillers to Category Delta of the Individual Ready Reserve (lRR).

Hardware units (CRUs) such as Naval Air Reserve Force squadrons; Naval Reserve Force (NRF) ships and ship/squadron reinforcement units (SRUs) are least affected by the action; however nine reserve construction battalions (Seabees) would be disestablished.

Category Delta provides for two weeks of paid ACDUT­RA annually in most cases but does not include authoriza­tion for paid inactive duty training (drills) during the rest of the year.

Most of the forty t housand reservis ts scheduled for transfer to Category Delta are members of Other (than platform) Reinforcement Units (ORUs), the majority of which are in Program Eleven, the Special and General Support program of the Naval Reserve.

and five transferred to the N"RF for a total of eleven, 20 newly· constructed ships will enter the fleet during the FY 77 transition and FY 77, according to Secre. tary Middendorf. While the net gain of ships to the active fleet ' (less the NRF) is nine, in order to maintain the size of today's fleet of 477 ships the long range shipbuilding pro~ram must pro­vide about 18 ships each year to replace those which will drop from the active inventory due to the end of their normal service, Mr. Middendorf said.

According to the announce­ment, the USS FRANKUN D. ROOSEVELT will be changed from active to inactive status

2 NAVAL RESERVIST NEWS - MARCH, 1976

What . :.'3;

NAVAL RESERVIST NEWS"~"

In July 194~ the first edition of a four page publication called THE NA VAL RESER VIST was issued. Its purpose was to comey "news of interest to the Naval Reservist and the Naval Veteran. " The lead story on the front page was headlined "Strong NUWlI Reserve Needed for Wartime Manning of Fleet. "

The Nary's reserve community at that time was large. Of the Navy's peak WWII strength of some 3,400,()()0 persons, nearly three million were resefllists.

nxiay's peacetime Navy and Naval Reserve are small by comparison, but the need to communicate with reservists and the need for a combat ready and professiolUJl Naval Reserve remain the same.

One of the results of the many consolidfJtion and realignment actions affecting the reserve over the past few years has been the transfer of responsibility for publishing THE NA VAL RESER V-1ST from the Chief of Naval Personnel to the Chief of Naval Reserve.

This coonge was effected in 1975. Henceforth, the NAVAl. Rh""Sh'RVIST NEWS will be pub­

lished monthly in a newspaper format and mailed directly to the homes of more than 230,000 Naval Reserve members, as well as to all ships and stations in the active duty Navy.

The Naval Reserve is in a state of dyrlJJmic change, as are many other aspects of the u.s. total force defense structure and our society in generaL Our aim is to keep our readers abreast of policies, actions and plans which will affect them as members of the reserve and as members of the total force Navy. We will include news of recent developments in the fleet which we hope will be of interest.

Our basic goal is to communicate in an informal, easy to read style items which reserve members (drillers and non-drillers, pay and non-pay) will find of interest. We also expect to publish feature stories reflecting activities and accomplishments of reservists themselves.

We invite comments and constructive criticism on our content and format as well as SIlbmwions offeature stories that would be of interest to the broad spectrum of the reserve community.

Through the years since 1946, the NAVAL RESERVIST has taken various fanns. WiTh this first is.~ue of NA VAL RESER VIST NEWS, we oove coonged the "vehicle" but we continue the tradition and the goal of seflling the reserve community, just as (Jur predecessor publications have done so ably in the past.

1976, in consonance with con­gressional action.

Also underway is a review of Naval Reserve facilities to be selected for closure due to di­rected funding reductions of ac­tive duty military and civilian positions and the reduced re­quirements for support of the drilling population.

Category Delta/lRR person­nel remain in the Ready Reserve and are subject to recall in the event of war or national emer­iency, however such personnel are not 5ubjeet to involuntary recall under pendini legislation which provides for a limited reserve call-up in circumstances other than war or national emereency.

and placed in the "mothball fleet." Plans to inactivate the ROOSEVELT are contingent upon the DWIGHT D. EISEN­HOWER (CVAN-69) joinini the fleet during FY 1977.

Ships to be stricken from the register are the destroyers: USS HOLDER (00-819), USS GEORGE K. MACKENZIE (DD-836), and the USS LEON­ARD F. MASON (DD-852); the submarine rescue ships: USS COUCAL (ASR..8) and USS TRINGA (ASK-16); and the store ship: USS DENEBOLA (AF-56).

- THE hLJlTOR

Selected Reserve strength has shown a continual drop over the past several years, rangini from approximately 129,000 in 1973 to the current figure of sliibtly below 100,000.

Protests over the proposed drill strength reduction have been raised by various I>ejlllents of the reserve community, in­cluding the Reserve Officers Association (ItoA), Naval Re­serve Association (NRA) and the Naval Enlisted Reserve Associa­tion (NERA).

Congressional hearings on the FY77 defense budget are now underway. In recent years, Con­gress has shown a consistent inclination to authorize a large Selected Reserve strength than was contained in budget sub­missions.

ACDUlRA Opportunity The Commander, Naval

Safety Center, Norfolk, VA has ACDUTRA opportunities for Naval Reservists with civilian backgrounds in safety (i.e. in­spectors, analysts, engineers, managerial assistants, and man­agers/directors in the field of occupational safety and health).

Naval Reserve officer and en­listed interested in applying their civilian experience to the Navy Safety Program may request ACDUTRA via the chaln-of­command.

Citizen-Sa i 10 rs " Push Around"

The Fleet

By LtCdr. Dennis L. Larson, USNR

NORFOLK, Va Two groups of Naval Reservists - one from Michigan, one from Mis· souri - recently spent two weeks of active duty for training literally "pushing around the Reet" at this sprawling Navy b~

Sixteen reservists from Naval Shore Activity 3014 in Lansing and 15 members of Naval Shore Activity 3417 in Kansas City spent two weeks working with the Norfolk Port Services. Most of them drew duty aboard one of nine Navy tugboats assigned to help dock the dozens of combatant and support ships homeported here.

The 2,000-horsepower tugs are only 109 feet long, but they "push around" ships many times their size. According to many of the reservists, one of the high­lights of their training period was helping to berth the nuclear­powered aircraft carrier USS ' Nimitz.

Because of her size, the big carrier's maneuverability is re­stricted when approaching a pier, so it takes several Navy tugs to assist in docking the enormous warship.

Reservisu Blend Well "Naval reservists integrate

well and are fully accepted by full-time sailors," says 31-year­old Boatswain's Mate James F. Junkin of Raymore, Mo. That opinion is shared by Kenneth N. Osborne, 23, of Independence.

The 15 reservists from Mis­souri included two officers, Lieutenant Commanders David Bomgaars or' Kansas City and William R. Elder of Overland .... ,

For Engineman Chief Petty Officer William 1.. Cudney of Grand'Ledge, Mich., it was a new experience. His active duty time extends back to duty on a subchaser during World War II. But for Boatswain's Mate Third Class Ron A. Mullet of Bath, Mich., it was like a homecoming. He had worked with tugs before in San Francisco Bay.

The Lansing reservists noted some other changes in the Navy. Oeanliness at the Norfolk base and improved barracks stand out among the list of improvements.

Conditions Ouutanding "Berthing conditions are out­

standing. You COUldn't ask for more," according to Machinist Mate First Class James D. McPherson of Saranac., Mich.

"It's quite a contrast from the old barracks at Great Lakes (near Chicago) I stayed In last year." Each reservist shared a semi-rivate room with three other roommates in the new barracks here.

The Lansing unit, consisting of 32 enlisted men and six offi­cers, traveled to Norfolk to per. form duty as a unit, a relatively new concept in the Naval Re­serve. Until a few years ago, most reservists performed indivi· dual duty.

WOMAN

AMONG

GRADUATES

A woman was amoni 74 re­serve personnel qualifying as Navy scuba divers at a recent training program at San Diego's Second' Class Diving School.

Yeo·man Seeond a~sS Bar­bara Lou Baccus of Harbor Clearance Unit 1210 , Corpus Christi, Tex., became the first woman Reservist to graduate from the scuba class.

A total of 80 Reservists, re­presenting six Harbor Oearance Units in the West and Mid·West, attended the program. Two of the 80 were women.

The two.week ACOUTRA was part of a three-year training program to qualify reservists as second-class divers. The end goal is to provide reserve operational readiness in support of the Navy's two active-duty Harbor Clearance units - HCU·I, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and HCU-2, Lit· tle Creek, Va.

HCU's m~sion encompasses salvage operations, search-and­rescue, recovery, clearance, and inspection activities, and intelli­gence responsibilities. Qualified scuba divers must demonstrate a balance of physical stamina, psychological stability, and pro­fessional skill. They must learn to work expertly underwater for extended periods of time.

INFORM A nON FOR

VETERANS Deaths of 358,000 veterans

during fIScal year 1975 -209,000 with World War II servo ice - has prompted the Veterans Administration to encourage 29 miIlion living veterans and ther ~ families to become familiar wUh.J""" survivor benefits to which they may be entitled.

The FY 1975 death total was 61,000 higher than the total of veterans' deaths recorded in FY 1970. The World War I veteran population fell below the million figure to 963,000 in FY 1975 with the deaths of 108.000 vet· erans of that era.

Veterans should make de­pendents aware of survivors' benefits, such as dependency and indemnity compensation for service-connected death or non· service·connected death pensions for widows and certain children, a VA spokesman said. ) -

Burial benefits for w~· and certain peacetime veterM, include a maximum $250 buria or cremation allowance, plus a plot allowance not exceeding $150 for veterans buried,outside national cemeteries. In lieu of these benefits, an $800 burial allowance is authorized if the veteran's death is service-con­nected. Claims must be filed within two years after burial or cremation.

Burial Rags and headstones or grave markers also lire available for many deceased veterans.. The VA processes about 800 applica­tions daily for headstones and grave markers, the spokesman said.

Veterans service organizations and local VA offices should be contacted for complete informa­tion and ass'istance in applying for burial benefits. Such docu­ments as military separation papers, divorce decrees, guard­ianship or child custody evi­dence, birth, marriage and deO certificates should be accessi to validate claims..

6 NAVAL RESERVIST NEWS - MARCH, 1976

CTHE NAVAL RESERVE . •• NEW ORLEANS, La. - The

initial step to restructure, reor­~anize and modernize the Naval Reserve under the Department of Defense total lorce policy was taken in February 1973.

This action combined the headquarters for the surface and air commtmities of the drillin~

reserve into a single command. It established a Olief ol Naval Re­serve (CNAVRES) and a con­solidated staff with headquarters located in New Orleans.

The streamlining and con­solidation of Reserve manage­ment created one Naval Reserve, headed by a three-star admiraL As Chiel of Naval Reserve, he is the commander responsible lor Reserve readiness and training. In effect, he is the manager of all resources - people, money and materials - ol the Naval Re-serve.

The admiral also wears a sec­ond hat as Director of Naval Reserve in the Office ol the Olief of Naval Operations. In this capacity, he is deputy to the CNO and his principal advisor on Reserve matters. He is responsI­ble for establishln~ and justily­ing Reserve funds appropriated by Congress for operations, maintenance and construction pro~ams. He is also responsible lor the development of Naval Reserve plans, policies and pro­~ams_

This article was prepared by Mr_ James H_ Denmark, Infor­mation Specialist, Internal Rela­tions Office, CNAVRES. A ver­sion of it appeared in the Jan­uary 29, 1976 issue of COM­MANDERS DIGEST.

Restructuring of Naval Re­serve programs Ind units began about two years ago and has since been an on-going process_ The reorganization provides lor 11 basic Reserve programs that parallel those of the active Navy_

The programs include Sub­marine Forces, Mine Forces, Cargo Handling Forces, Con­struction Forces, Amphibious Forces, Marine Corps Forces, Naval Special Warlare Forces and Special and General Support Forces_

The first 10 programs are mission-oriented, each under the sponsorship of a Navy-wide man­ager, and they relate directly to ships, aircralt and/or hardware and their direct support. Pro­gram 11 involves a number ol specializations and is currently divided into 25 subprograms such as law, medicine, public affairs and supply.

Reserve units have been or­ganized into five basic cate­gories, each witb its own mission and mobilization element_

The categories are: (1) Com­plete Capability Response Unit or CRU; (2) Ship or Squadron Reinlorcement Unit or SRU; (3) Other (than platform) Rein­forcement Unit or ORU; (4) Individual Reinlorcement Unit or IRU; and (5) Ready Reserve Unit or RRU.

The first four cate\:,ories are composed of Selected Reservists who occupy finn mobilization billets and are in a drill pay status. The fifth category is com· posed of Ready Reservists who are required for full mobiliza­tion, but would be recalled as

ticular geoeraphic locations. IRU members drill and train

at the nearest reserve activity. Upon mobilization, they would join with Selected Reserve units from other locations at the appropriate mobilization sites.

part of the phased-forces aug­mentation. Although they are alfiliated with tbe Naval Reserve in an active capacity, they train in a non-pay drill status.

Tbe Complete Capability Response Unit is a sell-contained unit, a sbip, squadron or battal­ion, with complete capabilities upon recall. Its manpower reo quirements are fllled by Selected Reservists, combined in many instances with an active duty nucleus.

The unit either "owns and lives with" its own hardware or its hardware is pre-designated for use in a contingency. Hardware requirements range from weapons systems, ships and air­craft to equipment and tools.

The Ship or Squadron Rein· forcement Unit is a mission­oriented, task-performing unit witb a mix of specific skills needed to brine an active duty Navy (ship or aircraft squadron) up to full battle manning. It is tailored to a specific ship class or aircraft squadron type, and oper­ates equipment and uses facil­ities of the parent unit.

The Other Reinlorcement Unit is also a mission·oriented, task·performing unit with a mix of skills designed to aUilllent a specific type of sbore establish­ment or staff unit. The ORU operates the equipment and uses the facilities of its mobilization activity.

The Individual Reinforce­ment Unit is designed as a source of Selected Reservists available for immediate mobilization as individual augmentees for the three units previously described. Mobilization assienments of IRU personnel are with eRU's, SRU's and ORU's whicb have been unable to fill authorized and required skills within their par.

vides meaningful and productive training for quall!led Ready Re­servists who are required for full mobilization but who are not members of the Selected Reserve. They are availAble for recall i" accordance with public law, and they also represent a skill pool from which billets in CRU's, SRU's, ORU's and IRU's can be filled as vacancies develop.

While the Naval Reserve is busy addressing mobilization problems, progress is being made in developing new training tech­niques, improving Naval IWserve centers and lacilities, and con­solidating Ixaining and adminis· trative management of the sur· face community.

One of the most significant steps toward improving overall management of the surface train­ing pro~am has been the estab­lishment of Naval Reserve readi­ness commands (REDCOMS), which report , to and fUnction under the command of the six Naval District commandants who have Reserve responsi­bilities.

Most of the REDCOMS are commanded by inactive duty Selected Reserve flag officers and staffed by a combination of active duty and inactive duty personnel. The REDCOMS pro­vide the Reserve with an addi· tional means of bringing its own senior leadership to bear in reaching full mobilization readi­ness status.

A new dimension is being added to the surface trainine environment through the install­ation ol Ship Operational Train­ers - called SOTS - at selected drill sites throughout the coun­t'Y.

The SOT is an inte~ated simulator complex of command and control, bridge, damage con-

community enjoys greater stabil­ity and is less affected by the continuous wave of change brought on by restructuring than the Reserve surface community, primarily because its hardware exists outside the fleet aircraft inventory. It is a striking exam­ple of the "hardware-oriented" type of Reserve the Total Force Navy reqUires.

Working in close liaison witb the Chiel of Naval Education and Training, surface reserve training planners are up~ading training capabilities in such areas as audio-visual aids and technical learning centers.

Due to the large number of J V ietnarn veteran pilots and

Another aspect of the reserve surface training problem involves inland reservists and those not within reasonable commuting distance of fleet installations. To meet this challenge, plans call for these reservists to be airlifted periodically lor what is termed "Weekend Away Training." The Department ol Delense has as­signed responsibility for airlift of this type to the U.S. Air Force.

On another front, a two-year test has recently been imple­mented by the Navy to evaluate various mixes of active and re­serve personnel on surface com­batants. CaUed Ship Mobiliza­tion Operational Readiness EVal­uation, the test will detennine the feasibiHty of increasing the role of reservists on surface com­batant ships.

Surface planners, along with the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) and ele­ments of the active fleet, are working hard to identify and develop new and expanded mis· sions for the Naval Reserve which are realistic and comple­ment Total Force requirements. As a result, considerable progress is being made in developing and expanding Reserve capabilities in sucb areas M Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare.

Feasibility studies into a new Reserve Merchant Ship Defense System are underway. If results are positive, it could mean the development of an additional all. reserve mission - that of pro­viding ASW helicopter protec. tion for merchant shipping.

Four Reserve air transport squadrons provide airlift support for active and Reserve require­ments with a fleet of 30 C-118 transport aircraft.

Efforts are being made to modernize and upgrade Naval Reserve participation in Navy airlift. An affiliation projp:am has led to the establisbment of two Naval Air Reserve Force squadrons employing six newly acquired C-9 jet tra~vutta. These squadrons are operated as part of tbe current active Navy lift and separate lrom the pre­sent Naval Reserve airlift of 30 C·118's.

Steady projp:ess is being made in increasing combat readiness and uperading proficiency train­ing throughout the air com­munity.

The Chief of Naval Opera­tions, Admiral James L. Hollo­way III, recently called for Con­gressional support of the Navy budget in light of what he de· scribed as "the growing maturity of the Soviet naval threat."

Testifying before the House Armed Services Committee, Ad· miral Holloway explained that the mission of the Navy iii to conduct prompt and sustained combat operations at sea, and that, while "there is little dis­agreement that the United States needs a Navy, the debate centers in its size and composition."

"We must have ships and air· craft to be a Navy," he said, "but we need more than just numbers. We must have enough ships a'nd aircraft individually capable of coping with the ad· vanced weapons technologies of our potential enemies, in a bal· anced force structure, which, in the al:~l:ate, will constitute a neet that can effectively con· duct combat operations at sea across the spectrum of connict, from crisis management to gen· eral nuclear war."

Admiral Holloway feels that the force structure of the Navy depends on national stratel:Y, potential enemy threats, and the degree of risk we are willing to accept to execute the strategy against threats.

He sees the national strategy as a forward strategy, with the ac.eans Sirving as .. llatrier.s. for defense and as avenues to extend U. S. influence abroad. In re­sponse to this strategy, about 30 per cent of the active operating naval forces are maintained in a forward deployed posture.

These forces, according to Admiral Holloway, provide visi­ble reassurances to our allies, deter aggression, protect the far terminal ends of our essential sea lines of communications and are positioned to respond quickly to crises. They are, in addition, the first units which would be called upon to fulfill the Navy's princi­pal functions of sea control and power projection.

Our naval force structure "emphasizes sea control and dis­tant power projection capability in the form of aircraft carrier task forces, long endurance sur· face combatants, nuclear­powered attack submarines, am­phibious forces, maritime patrol aircraft and support forces to keep the neet supplied," Ad­miral Holloway explained. "The Soviet force structure is chang· inl: rapidly as the role of their Navy moves from coastal de· fense to a worlwide instrument of Soviet power."

Predicting the outcome of conflict between the U. S. and Soviet fleets is a difficult matter, but Admiral Holloway feels that, in the last analysis, "It is the balance of capabilities we achieve and the innate nexibility of naval forces that weigh most heavily in any assessment."

He cautioned that quantita­tively our capabilities are becom· ing marginal. Reduced ship and
