to Win Facilitator’s Guide # Slide Title/Description Primary Remarks Additional Background and Discussion N/A The Navy Reserve Action Plan (with Emblem) Personal introduction… It is my pleasure to be with you to talk about the Navy Reserve “Ready to Win” Action Plan or R2W. But before we here are some introductory remarks from VADM McCollum, Chief of Navy Reserve and Force Master Chief Christopher Kotz. N/A Opening Message from CNR and FORCE (Video) After video: You heard CNR… this is a conversation. So, ask questions as we go through the slides/topics. Think about what you can do as individuals and teams. As FORCE Master Chief mentioned, this is “by you and for you”… Throughout the past year, inputs were gathered from across the Reserve Force and supported commands. Multiple teams including several hundred people from across the Force worked on analyses, field visits, virtual inputs, working groups, conferences, training courses, etc. 1 Ready To Win (Helo on Cover of R2W) These efforts resulted in this plan – an action plan, not a strategy – to get to work on your ideas. So, why is it called Ready to Win? “Ready” should be obvious… that’s always been at the core of our mission. By why “to Win”? … It’s about competition. Who are our nation’s competitors? (Pause to hear some of the answers) 2 Berlin Wall Falls Who are our competitors? … During the Cold War it was clearly the Soviet Union. While the stakes of potential nuclear war were incredibly high, the mission was fairly simple and constant – defeat the Soviet Union and stop the spread of communism. This was essentially a 1v1 security environment. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989, we have been the only “Great Power” … but, that has its challenges and is changing faster than most of us realize. The Berlin Wall went up in August 1961. At sea, US Navy forces stood against a large Soviet diesel and nuclear submarine threat.

13 (8) R2W Focus Area: Resource Our Resource focus is about rapidly delivering the right Reserve Force capabilities to the right place at the right time. To meet Fleet demands, we must: • Develop a more agile manning structure • Provide more flexible funding options Resources also go beyond just money and people… It can also include: equipment, technology, product design, information and relationships 14 Resourcing Undersea Rescue Command The Navy Reserve Undersea Rescue Command (URC) was mobilized to support rescue efforts for the Argentine Navy diesel-electric submarine A.R.A San Juan (S 42). 40 Reserve Sailors volunteered The URC is comprised 65 RC, 45 AC & 35 contractors . A testament of the resourcefulness, expertise and dedication of our people. Start with Why? - Resources get us to the fight - Delivering our promise to serve - Resources = people, equipment, technology, product design, information, relationships & - Navy the right Sailor in the right place at the right time Think: - What resources do you control? Are you using them efficiently? - Who is relying on you for their resources? Act: - Identify the resources at your disposal and bring them to bear - Make your needs known to your resource providers - Innovate and optimize the way you use your resources 15 (9) Own It: Permission granted to take action with the assets and processes you control Lead It: Lead your team(s) to develop innovative solutions …setbacks are a part of success… Be a catalyst. Be a leader. ***We need to support one another to take smart/calculated risk*** Share It: Share your ideas and successes so all can benefit … Inspire your team(s) and accelerate others’ ideas ***These concepts and the R2W Action Plan in general are closely tied to the Green Line of Effort (High-velocity Learning) in the Navy’s Design, which promotes 5 S’s: See problems quickly, Swarm teams of experts, Solve the problem, Share what you learned and Spread the culture through leader development. High Velocity Learning Model: SEE - Build a system of "dynamic discovery" designed to reveal operational problems and weaknesses as they arise. SWARM & SOLVE - Attack and solve problems when and where they occur, converting weaknesses into strengths. SHARE - Disseminate knowledge gained from solving local problems throughout the organization as a whole. SPREAD - Create managers invested in developing everyone's capacity to continually innovate and improve… Build on the culture of innovation.
