Functionality subsumed by NSIPS in July of 2021
The Navy Enlisted System (NES) is the Navy's authoritative database for all active duty Navy enlisted personnel. The system generates and maintains the official automated personnel records of all United States Navy/United States Naval Reserve (USN/USNR) active duty enlisted personnel.
NES is primarily used to calculate enlisted strength, to authorize the establishment of a pay record at Defense Finance Accounting Center, and to prepare Enlisted Distribution Verification Reports (EDVR) for distribution to field activities.
Additionally, the enlisted distribution and promotion processes are dependent upon the quality of NES data, as are numerous managerial and congressional groups overseeing aggregated information about the active enlisted population
