Chief of Navy Reserve Releases Navy Reserve Fighting Instructions 2022
Vice Adm. John B. Mustin, Chief of Navy Reserve (CNR) and Commander, Navy
Reserve Force, released the Navy Reserve Fighting Instructions 2022 (NRFI)
on May 17, updating the Force on the three lines of effort (LOE) to Design,
Train and Mobilize the Force with a relentless focus on warfighting
readiness, and announcing a fourth LOE - Develop the Force. The Fighting
Instructions is Mustin's action plan driving the Navy Reserve to fully
attain and maintain the warfighting credibility and relevance required for
today and in the future.
"Since I published the Navy Reserve Fighting Instructions 2020, the forces
that seek to reshape the international rules-based order have amplified and
added coherency to their efforts," Mustin said. "To counter these
existential threats, and realize and defend our American values, we must
accelerate pursuit and achievement of peerless warfighting readiness. To
ensure that readiness we must transform the Navy Reserve to deliver a force
that is designed, trained, and ready to fight and win - confidently and
boldly - in sustained, multi-domain combat operations."
Announcing the new LOE, Mustin noted that "Our Sailors are our asymmetric
advantage. It is contingent upon us to focus on inclusion and equity
allowing our Navy Reserve to harness our entire diverse team of Sailors and
civilians to maximize our warfighting capability and readiness. We promote a
positive culture of dignity and respect by living our Navy's core values of
honor, courage, and commitment. We will enable and empower our Sailors,
embrace ownership and ingenuity, and reinforce the simple, unifying concept
that Sailors and commands will take care of themselves and their people, all
the while removing barriers constraining our warfighting advantage."
The Develop the Force LOE was initiated to deliver against that vision and
to align the Force with the Chief of Naval Operations' "Get Real, Get
Better" initiative. Specific actions are already underway.
The Navy Reserve Fighting Instructions 2022 provides details on specific
transformative changes completed over the last 18 months, and describes
actions to achieve the purpose and mission of each LOE - all with a
relentless focus on CNR's singular priority: WARFIGHTING READINESS.
