Abstract

To comply with VCNO direction to reconstitute a centralized Navy Shore Manpower Requirements Determination Program to deliver consistent, accurate and balanced shore manpower demand signals for funding decisions. Senior Navy leadership is concerned SMRD decentralization at the BSO level does not deliver consistent, accurate, or analytical requirements absent a centralized, objective third party to provide inspections, validation, and training. Issue provides phased funding across the FYDP, resourcing NAVMACs SMRD processes to mirror requirements consistency and accuracy delivered by current operational Fleet Manpower Requirements Determination (FMRD) processes. Implementing this COA will deliver a uniform and analytically-based program, increasing leadership and Resource Sponsor confidence in SMRD thoroughness and accuracy. The Navys Shore Manpower Requirements Determination (SMRD) program contains over 430K total force (officer, enlisted and federal civil service) manpower requirements, representing over 60% of the Navy's Total Force manpower requirements. Per OPNAVINST 1000.16 series, BSOs are responsible for their SMRD through approved study protocols. While some BSOs have approved protocols (USFF/CPF, CNIC, and BUMED), most are performing this function with limited resources and oversight. Navy leadership expressed concern the current SMRD process lacks accuracy, fidelity and objectivity.
