RTAGs:  PERS-46 anticipates slating Reserve Talent Acquisition Groups (RTAGs) during the Fall 2024 command slate.

RTAGs are located in Jacksonville, Norfolk, Fort Worth, San Diego, and Everett.  Officers selected for RTAG command can anticipate an XO/CO Fleet Up model.  To be considered eligible for RTAG Command, Officers must complete the command qualification and screening process through their designator source community or the COMNAVRESFORCOM Qualification Program. Please contact your detailer for further questions.

Visit the Reserve Command website for details on the command screening/slating process and review COMNAVRESFORCOM INSTRUCTION 1412.1G.

Reserve Command Slating Business Rules

§  Screened Officers who are PRD eligible should submit a ranked Reserve Command preference sheet.

§  ​Officers will typically be assigned to rank-equivalent Reserve Commands (e.g. CDRs will typically be assigned to CDR Reserve Commands before being considered for LCDR Reserve Commands).

§  CDRs are eligible for CDR and LCDR Reserve Command and must submit ranked preferences for all available CDR Reserve Commands, to include RTAGs, and may submit separately ranked preferences for LCDR Reserve Commands.

§  For example, if there are 11 CDR Reserve Commands and 5 LCDR Reserve Commands available, CDRs must rank all 11 CDR Reserve Commands for consideration (1 through 11) and may include separately ranked preferences for up to 5 LCDR Reserve Commands. 

§  LCDRs and LTs are eligible for commands one rank above their current pay grade. LCDRs must provide two separately ranked preferences and must rank all available CDR and LCDR Reserve Commands; LTs must rank all LCDR Reserve Commands.

Note: separate rankings to be provided using only 1 preference sheet.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submitting preferences does not preclude one from being slated to a command opportunity that was not on one’s preference list.
 
All are encouraged to provide amplifying remarks about rankings and to discuss submission with one’s detailer.

§  Submit slate preferences using the preference sheet template provided from the Placement Officer; to request and/or submit a preference sheet, contact the Placement Officer- anthony.m.joseph10.mil@us.navy.mil and your detailer. Please DO NOT modify the formatting of this sheet.

§  If an officer chooses to decline command after screening, a formal declination of command is required IAW MPM 1301-818.

§  All shore duty orders are written for 36 months to comply with DODI 1315.18. However, PRDs are subject to change based on the officer’s career progression and the needs of the Navy. Notionally, NRC Command tours will last between 24 and 36 months and RTAG XO/CO Fleet Up tours will last 36 months.
