CNRF guidance to resume drills

NORFOLK, Va. - Commander Navy Reserve Force (CNRF) issued new guidance June 11 for resuming regular on-site drills at Navy Operational Support Centers (NOSC). The new guidance, ALNAVRESFOR 013/20, provides a methodical approach for resuming weekend drills across the force while mitigating the risk for COVID-19. The process is dependent upon local conditions, guidance from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, guidance from Commander Navy Installations Command and approval from the CNRF chain of command. “As some of our NOSCs begin to see the risk of the COVID-19 pandemic decline in their states … we need to begin a phased and methodical approach to bringing our Reservists back to regular, on-site drills starting in July,” said Rear Adm. John Schommer, commander of NRFC. … “This will not be a ‘one size fits all’ return to one-site drills.” If local conditions are not right, however, Reservists can continue to perform liberal telework to earn their drill points and pay. The earliest a NOSC could theoretically resume on-site drills is July 11. (Source: Navy Reserve Force 06/12/20) https://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=113238
