RMKS/1.  THIS MESSAGE CANCELS REFS A THROUGH E, AND SUMMARIZES
RECENT CHANGES.  FOR CURRENT POLICY AND GUIDANCE VISIT THE
NAVPERSCOM (PERS-9) WEB PAGE AT WWW.PERSNET.NAVY.MIL/PERS9.
CHANGES INCLUDE:
    A.  A WEB-BASED TOOL, CALLED THE NAVY-MARINE CORPS MOBILIZATION
PROCESSING SYSTEM (NMCMPS) HAS BEEN DEPLOYED WHICH GREATLY
FACILITATES MOBILIZATION AND DEMOBILIZATION BY IMPROVING ORDER-
WRITING AND MONITORING THE DEPLOYMENT OF SAILORS ACTIVATED TO FLEET
ASSIGNMENTS.  A REVISED CHECKLIST HAS ALSO BEEN TAILORED TO NMCMPS
AND EMPLOYED TO STREAMLINE PROCESSING.  IT ALLOWS THE FLEET TO HAVE
DIRECT ACCESS VIA THE WEB TO MONITOR FROM START TO FINISH THE STATUS
OF PERSONNEL MOBILIZING TO THEIR COMMAND.
    B.  SUSTAINMENT POLICY:  THE CURRENT POLICY OF USING VOLUNTEERS
CONTINUES, HOWEVER, A RESERVIST MAY BE INVOLUNTARILY MOBILIZED FOR A
SECOND YEAR OR SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT MOBILIZATIONS DUE TO
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS.  THE TERM "SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT
MOBILIZATIONS" IS USED AS SOME RESERVISTS WERE VOLUNTARILY MOBILIZED
TWICE ALREADY, E.G., MIUW.  IF OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS DICTATE,
THESE INDIVIDUALS WOULD BE MOBILIZED AGAIN, BUT INVOLUNTARILY THIS
TIME.
    C.  CENTCOM/NAVCENT GUIDANCE:  IN PREVIOUS POLICY GUIDANCE,
RESERVISTS WERE REFERRED TO A CENTCOM/NAVCENT MESSAGE FOR POLICY
GUIDANCE.  WE HAVE NOW INCORPORATED CENTCOM/NAVCENT'S GUIDANCE ON
OUR WEB SITE.
    D.  DELAY AND EXEMPTION GUIDANCE:  THE AGE 57 SCREENING IS
DELETED.  PREVIOUS POLICY REQUIRED THIS SCREENING DUE TO THE AGE 58
SANCTUARY FOR MOBILIZED RESERVISTS.  BASED ON A LEGAL DECISION THAT
REMOVED THE AGE 58 SANCTUARY, THIS SCREENING IS NO LONGER REQUIRED.
THE SCREENING REQUIREMENT FOR 18-YEARS OF ACTIVE DUTY DURING A
PERIOD OF MOBILIZATION REMAINS.  PREVIOUS POLICY EXEMPTED RESERVISTS
WHO HAVE AN APPROVED RETIREMENT DATE FROM MOBILIZATION.  NOW,
EXEMPTIONS WILL BE GRANTED BASED ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES AT THE TIME.
IF A MEMBER IS REQUESTED TO BE MOBILIZED INCONUS, AND THEIR
RETIREMENT DATE WOULD ALLOW FOR SOME MOBILIZATION PERIOD, AN
EXEMPTION IS NOT AUTOMATIC, BUT WILL BE ADJUDICATED BASED ON THE
CIRCUMSTANCES.  THE POLICY REGRADING RESERVISTS MOBILIZED OUTCONUS
IS UNCHANGED.
