CNAVRES

The Commander, Naval Reserve Force (CNAVRES) was established in 1978 as the senior command overseeing the United States Navy Reserve. Its mission was to provide strategic leadership, readiness, and administrative support for reserve personnel and units, ensuring their seamless integration with the active duty fleet. CNAVRES played a pivotal role in mobilizing reserve forces for operations such as Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, and Iraqi Freedom. In 2005, the organization was re-designated as Commander, Navy Reserve Force (COMNAVRESFOR), reflecting an increased emphasis on operational alignment with the active component.
