26 Apr 91 (NOTAL)
Selected Reserve Units Authorized
to Participate in the Command
Advancement Program (CAP)
1. Purpose. To establish policy, eligibility
requirements, and administrative procedures for the
Command Advancement Program. This program
allows certain commanding officers to advance
eligible personnel in paygrades E-3, E-4, and E-5 to
the next higher paygrade without reference to
higher authority. This program is intended to
function in conjunction with, not replace, the
Navy’s established advancement system. This
instruction is a complete revision and should be
read in its entirety.
2. Cancellation. BUPERSINST 1430.17C.
3. Background. The CAP was established in
1978 as an incentive for seagoing personnel. This
revision will clarify who is authorized to command
advance eligible personnel and simplify or remove
many of the procedures for administering the
program.
4. Applicability. This program applies to all
active duty and Selected Reserve (SELRES)
personnel in CAP eligible units. Active Duty for
Special Work (ADSW) and One Year Recall (OYR)
personnel are not eligible for this program except
when assigned to CAP eligible units during
declared hostilities.
5. Waivers. No waivers to the policies or criteria
of this instruction will be granted and none shall be
requested.
6. Policy. The intent of the CAP is to allow
commanding officers of ships, squadrons, mobile
units, fleet marine force, and staffs of the operating
forces to provide substantive recognition for
superior performance under the rigors of the
operating environment experienced at sea or while
forward deployed.
7. Eligibility. The following criteria will be used
when determining eligibility for CAP advancement:
a. In order to be eligible for CAP advance-
ment, personnel must be assigned to units
authorized to participate in CAP.
(1) Active duty personnel must be perma-
nently or temporarily assigned to a commissioned
unit of the operating forces designated as sea duty
(type 2, 4, or 8). Type duty codes are defined in
reference (a). Eligible units of the operating forces
are listed in Part 1 of the Standard Navy
Distribution List (SNDL) (OPNAV P09B2-107(91)).
(2) SELRES personnel must be locally
assigned to an authorized unit (filling a valid billet
in the unit) listed in enclosure (1) and be a
satisfactory driller for a minimum of 1 year.
Advance Paygrade personnel must have made their
temporary rate permanent to be eligible.
b. In addition to the above, personnel must
