From Sea Warrior Program (PEO-EIS PMW 240) Public Affairs

ARLINGTON, Va. (NNS) -- Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems (PEO-EIS) gave approval for Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240) to release the next set of Navy Career Tools enhancements Nov. 5.

Rear Adm. Charles E. "Grunt" Smith, PEO-EIS, authorized the release after a Release Review Board conducted a thorough operational testing and close teamwork review with Chief of Naval Personnel, Navy Personnel Command, Naval Education and Training Command and other stakeholders.

"Our Sea Warrior Program's progress getting the MPTE (Manpower, Personnel, Training, and Education) applications to work together reflects a high level of disciplined systems engineering and collaboration across the enterprise," Smith said.

The enhancements, known as Maintenance Upgrade 1B-3 (MU1B-3), will affect Career Management System/Interactive Detailing (CMS/ID), Navy Training Management and Planning System and Navy Career Tools Assistant. Implementation of the upgrade will be executed in two parts and should be complete by the end of November.

MU1B-3 reflects Sea Warrior's process of continuous improvement to closely align MPTE systems, simplifying Sailors' daily career management tasks in support of the Navy's Continuum of Service goals.

"The MU1B-3 upgrade will streamline the Sailor's transition from active to Reserve, improving continuity between components," said Capt. Michael S. Murphy, Sea Warrior Program manager. "For the first time, active duty Sailors will be able to use CMS/ID to apply for Reserve opportunities at the end of their obligated service, and Reservists for Global Support Assignments for mobilization to active duty.

"We are committed to advancing the Navy's Total Force vision by providing better integrated solutions," Murphy said. "We especially appreciate the hard work and dedication of our SPAWAR partners, particularly the SPAWAR (Space and Naval Warfare) Systems Center Atlantic New Orleans Office."

Sponsored by the Chief of Naval Personnel, the Navy Career Tools suite is designed to achieve the vision of integrated career management and training and education systems that enable Sailors to take charge of their own professional development.
