The Naval Reserve Force National Capital Region, Naval Reserve Command;[1] is a Line Unit of the Naval Reserve Command. It was created for the sole purpose of Reserve Force management, procurement, and organisation in the areas encompassing the entire National Capital Region.
The NAVFORRESNCR and the reserve units under its command form a major part of the Naval Component of the AFP Joint Task Force-National Capital Region.
Training
Training is the major task handled by NFRNCR,NAVRESCOM. Its primary arms are the university/college-based Department of Naval Science and Tactics-administered mandatory basic and the optional advanced Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC);[2] and the territorial unit-administered Basic Citizen's Military Training (BCMT).
Basic ROTC and BCMT graduates are enlisted as Seamen Recruits in the Reserve Force, while advanced ROTC graduates are enlisted as Petty Officers. Completion of Advance ROTC is considered a graduate qualification in Military Science, and such graduates who subsequently progress to the Probationary Ensign Training Course (PETC) are commissioned as Naval Ensigns.[2]
Other than time-in-grade and merit promotions, rank adjustments are authorized depending on civilian qualifications, as well as their reciprocity to the operating environment.
Types of Reservists
There are currently two types of reservists in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Reserve Force:[3]
- Ready Reservists: physically-fit and tactically-current reservist personnel that are always on constant alert and training; ready to mobilize once a mobilization order has been given.
- Standby Reservists: reservist personnel who do not maintain currency in specialization qualifications but the base for expansion, support and augmentation to the Ready Reserve Force as needed.
Units
The NAVFORRESNCR has several line units under its command, making the administration and training of reservists more compartmentalized and territorial based.
