2.  IN OCT 01 THE HUMAN RESOURCES (HR) COMMUNITY WAS CREATED TO MEET
THE GROWING DEMANDS FOR SPECIALIZED SKILLS IN HUMAN RESOURCE
STRATEGY AND ANALYSIS.  HR OFFICERS WILL SERVE AS THE NAVY'S EXPERTS
IN DEVELOPING, SHAPING AND ALIGNING THE FUTURE FORCES TO MEET
MISSION REQUIREMENTS, TRANSFORMING THE RECRUITING AND MILITARY
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS, ACHIEVING A TECHNOLOGY-BASED HUMAN RESOURCE
SYSTEM AND FULLY ALIGNING THE MILITARY MANPOWER AND PERSONNEL
STRATEGY INTO AN EFFECTIVE NAVY HUMAN RESOURCES STRATEGY.  SINCE THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMUNITY ANNOUNCED IN REF A,
THERE HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN:
    A. DEVELOPING A CONTINUOUS EDUCATION PLAN AND MODIFYING EXISTING
CURRICULUM AT NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE NEW
COMMUNITY AND THE NAVY.
    B.  DEVELOPING AN OFFICER CAREER PATH THAT GROWS HR
PROFESSIONALS BY INCORPORATING CAREER MILESTONES IMPORTANT TO
PERSONNEL READINESS AND TRAINING.

OFFICERS TO COMPLETE THE NATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
CERTIFICATION EXAM AND RECEIVE THE SAME CERTIFICATION AS THEIR
COUNTERPARTS IN THE CIVILIAN COMMUNITY.
