Vision
A committed, well-trained, and ready Reserve Force for a Strong Republic.
Mission
To organize, train, equip, and administer naval Reservists in order to provide the Philippine Navy the base for expansion in the event of war, invasion, or rebellion or disaster and calamities, and to assist in the socio-economic development of the country. [1]
Legal Mandate
Commonwealth Act 1
Commonwealth Act No. 1, particularly Section II, cites the responsibility of each and every citizen of for the defense of the nation. Citizens may be mobilized in the event the national government declares an act of war or emergency.[2]
Republic Act 7077
Republic Act No. 7077,[3] also known as the Citizen's Armed Force Act or Reservist Law of 1991, is an act passed in to law by the joint house of representatives which clearly provides the policies and procedures in the creation and administration of reservists and reserve units of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
Republic Act 9163
Republic Act No. 9163,[4] also known as the National Service Training Program Act or National Service Law of 2001, defines the policies and procedures in administration/training of ROTC Units in relation to the other two components, Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) and Literacy Training Service (LTS), of the National Service Training Program (NSTP).
Training
Training is one of the primary tasks that is handled by NAVRESCOM. The three primary sources of Naval Reservists (Filipino: Laang Kawal Pandagat) are:
- Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) - given to tertiary-level students who voluntarily signed for ROTC under the National Service Training Program (NSTP),
- Basic Citizen's Military Course (BCMC) - for civilians from all professions who did not take ROTC, and would want to become a part of the AFP Reserve Force on top of being corporate professionals, and
- Military Orientation Training (MOT) - for volunteer employees of private or public organizations of utility service providers assigned as a Philippine Navy Affiliated Reserve Unit (PNARU)
NAVRESCOM, also through its ROTC Program, prepares future officers in the Navy serving in the reserve force. Under the Naval Officer Qualification Course (NOQC), college graduates are trained to take roles as officers in the Philippine Navy and the Philippine Marine Corps.
