MAP

MAP authorizes commanding officers (COs) to advance eligible personnel to the next higher paygrade. The program is intended to give COs the opportunity to recognize their best Sailors by advancing them when they are ready for the next level of responsibility. The program gives greater authority to commands to better shape their workforce and the Navy by developing and rewarding our most talented Sailors.

Eligibility for MAP is determined by current MAP NAVADMIN.

For Navy Reserve Meritorious Advancement quotas and guidance, please refer to the ALNAVRESFOR message located on Commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command's (CNRFC) website.

General questions regarding command quotas should be directed to command and regional Career Counselors or MAP coordinators. Echelon II / Budget Submitting Office (BSO) should contact OPNAV N132 for questions or concerns to ALTN_MAP@navy.mil
