  19. Navy Reserve Engineering Duty Officer N7 • Realities of Mobilization – REDOs serve in Harm’s Way • Since 09-11-2001, over 135 Reserve Engineering Duty Officers have been activated to support the Global War on Terror (GWOT), with 30 additional officers utilizing Active Duty for Special Work (ADSW) funds. They have filled a variety of mobilization jobs, both engineering and non-engineering including substantial service in extreme non-permissive environments: • Examples – Provincial Reconstruction Teams, Civil Affairs Officers, Engineer Officers on Army staff, Overseas Shipyard Project Officers, Navy Customs, Counter IED Teams, Afghanistan Pakistan Hands, etc. • At present, the Navy expects that fully qualified EDs will be mobilized once every 5 calendar years. • Current demand signal is for officers in grades 0-3 through O-5; however, all grades have been mobilized and occasionally officers that have not yet qualified as EDO have been mobilized based on the needs of the Navy. • The Navy maintains a Mobilization Availability list based on Precedence Number (seniority) and nominally selects the most senior eligible officer in grade. Typically officers in the Engineering Duty Qualification pipeline are ineligible for mobilization.
