U.S. Navy Human Resources Community 2015 Year in review
The U.S. Human Resources Officer Community
The Human Resources Community (120X) is one of the Department of the Navy's most strategic and critical assets in the provision of Manpower, Personnel, Training, and Education (MPT&E) expertise in support of DoN mission accomplishment. It has been charged with "delivering HR expertise to define, recruit, develop, assign, and retain a highly-skilled workforce for the Navy Total Force mission."
The Active Component HR designator 1200 was established in October 2001 to respond to the growing demands for specialized skills in human resource strategy and analysis. Total Force Integration required harnessing expertise from all components - active, reserve, civilian, and contractor. In February 2007, the Reserve Component HR designators 1205/1207 were established.
There are four major career opportunity areas within the Navy's HR professional community, called Core Competency Areas (CCAs). These valued CCAs offer diverse experiences and require a variety of skill sets.
- REQUIREMENTS - work focuses on manpower and job task requirements (OPNAV N12), Navy Manpower Analysis Center (NAVMAC), financial management, IT management or budget analysis (OPNAV N10).
- MANAGEMENT - work focuses on personnel policy and management, working for Navy Personnel Command (NPC), OPNAV N13, Transient Personnel Units (TPUs), Naval Operational Support Centers (NOSCs), or Navy Personnel Command Mobilization Detachments (NPC MOB DETs).
- DEVELOPMENT - work focuses on the training and education of personnel, working for Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), numerous school and training centers around the country, Recruit Training Center (RTC), Officer Training Command (OTC), or as a CVN Training Officer.
- RECRUITING - work focuses on the recruitment of personnel into the regular and reserve components of the Navy, working for Navy Recruiting Command (NRC), Navy Recruiting Districts (NRDs), or Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS).
Expertise is gained by attaining advanced education as well as through a series of leadership and staff tours in the four primary career core competency areas.

Army, Navy Human Resources officers hold first collaborative meeting
FORT KNOX, Kentucky (26 March 2015) -- Senior Navy Human Resources officers visited U.S. Army Human Resources Command March 26 to review best practices with sister branch practitioners as both branches transform personnel management in an era of budget constraints and force downsizing.
The day of discussions and dialogue brought together officers from the Navy Manpower and Analysis Center and the Millington Regional HR Center with senior representatives of The Adjutant General of the Army Directorate, Officer Personnel Management Directorate, Enlisted Personnel Management Directorate, Personnel Information Systems Directorate and the Commandant of the Adjutant General Corps for an in-depth look at Army practices in HR management.
Major areas of shared interest included implementing cost efficiencies and applying technology to drive effectiveness, improve work force engagement and appeal to the potential recruits. They also discussed leveraging talent management to foster innovation in personnel management, policy and procedures.
In the intermediate future, HRC will send a team to visit Navy Personnel Command at Millington, Tennessee, and a Navy team will travel to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, for further discussions at the Adjutant General Schoolhouse. Reciprocal visits to each other's data and call centers will also be arranged.
Rear Adm. Annie Andrews, Commander, Navy Recruiting Command, joined the visitors for office calls with HRC Deputy Commander, Brig. Gen. Barbara L. Owens, and EPMD Director, Col. Douglas Stitt.
