MISSION
The Navy's Selected Reserve (SELRES) is the principal source of
trained units and personnel to augment the active forces in time of war
or national emergency, as described in [A-2]. Only SELRES personnel may
be called up under the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 673b. Most SEIRES medi-
cal billets are found in Programs 32 and 46, which fall under the spon-
sorship of OP-093. Program-32 and Program-46 personnel fill two roles
in the full mobilization scenario, contained in [A-3]. First, the role
of Program-32 SELRES personnel is to staff CONUS MTFs following the
deployment of active-duty personnel to enable the MTFs to continue
functioning as general, acute-care hospitals. In this backfill role,
the SEIRES personnel prepare the MTFs to receive casualties and to
provide care to CONUS active-duty personnel and dependents in isolated
areas. SEIRES personnel are assigned to staff 9 of the Navy's inventory
of 17 fleet hospitals. Secondly, SELRES personnel serve as the person-
nel base to relieve or augment deployed active-duty personnel.
SE @ S personnel in Program 32 typically belong to units that are
attached to specific CONUS MTFS. However, certain medical specialists
may elect to join the SEIRES as individual mobilization augmentees
(IKAs). The IMA program is open to Medical Corps officers, Nurse Corps
officers, oral surgeons, or operating-room technicians (HM 8483). Each
IMA participant is assigned to a mobilization billet at an MTF or DTF.
For administrative purposes, each participant is assigned to a medical
IMA unit.
SELRES personnel in Program-46 fleet hospital units provide the
pitals capable of function-
ing in either the combat zone (CBTZ) or communication zone (COMMZ)
within the theater of operations. Current planning calls for seven of
the fleet hospitals to be manned by SEIRES personnel and two by pre-
trained individual manpower (PIM) (Individual Ready Reserve, Standby
Reserve, and retirees) by 1 October 1991. Table A-3 lists the fleet
hospitals to be manned with reserve personnel and the corresponding
manpower requirements. During FY 1989, the nine reserve fleet hospital
units were given co=issioned-unit status in recognition that they are
"standalonell units with their own prepositioned hardware. Fleet hospi-
tals are managed by COMNAVSURFRESFOR until mobilization, when opera-
tional command and control transfers to the fleet commanders in chief
(CINC).
Most of the other SELRES Medical Department billets are assigned to
Program 5, Air Forces (Navy); Program 7, Naval Mobile Construction Bat-
talions (NMCBs); and Program 9, Marine Corps Forces. Reservists
assigned to Program 5 support Navy air wings. Reservists in Program 7
provide endogenous medical support to the reserve CBUS. Reservists in
Program 9 are assigned billets in the 4th Marine Division (MARDIV), 4th
Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW), and 4th Force Service Support Group (FSSG)
to provide field and garrison support to the one-fourth of the Marine
Corps that is in the reserve component.
