EDO(N) Program Background • EDO(N) Program - established in 1997 • Produces officers to serve as RCOH/NEWCON CVN Reactor Officers • Provides Engineering Duty Officer community with officers qualified to be Major Program Managers or Major Shore Commanders • Retains SWO(N)s for nuclear duty by providing a career path with fewer at-sea requirements • Developed in conjunction with SWO(N) career path • SWO(N) Community is sole source for EDO(N) accessions • Lateral transfer of up to 10 SWO(N)s per YG (Nominal 3) • EDO(N) NOIP policy modeled after SWO(N)s • Policy provided via Long-Range Nuclear-Trained Engineering Duty Officer (EDO(N)) Officer Personnel Policy Memorandum • Last revision: June 2008
EDO(N) Program Health • EDO(N) Community Health • Average of 3 SWO(N)s per YG have transferred to EDO(N) community • Community strength: 34 EDO(N)s at various phases of career • Since 1997, some inception “drivers” have changed • SWO(N) community healthy & stabilized • Cadre of ED officers with CVN operational experience • EDO(N) RO enhances Reactor Dept in RCOH/NEWCON • SY experience with organization/structure/production timelines • More “transition” experience (e.g. plant testing) • Provides additional nuclear experience to ED community • EDO(N)s fill nuclear related S/Y, planning, acquisition, and design billets

Assistant Reactor OfficerPurpose • Enhance RO’s focus on the execution of propulsion plant operations, maintenance, and training by: • Enforcing the standards, priorities, and departmental philosophy • Providing an experienced quality cut on departmental administration • Supporting external coordination requirements (TYCOM, RPPY, JTG, etc.) • Leverage nuclear expertise of SWO(N) and EDO(N) officers no longer on track to be a Reactor Officer • Would otherwise lose nuclear qualifications • SWO(N)s not screened for CO Afloat • EDO(N)s not selected for continuation and future RO eligibility at 15 YCS
Assistant Reactor OfficerSelection and Assignment • Picked by administrative board (first board in Feb 05) • SWO(N)s following CO-SM, XO-SM, or XO Afloat tours • EDO(N)s following unsuccessful second look for continuation • Nominally 3-4 officers needed each year • FY09 Board • 8 eligible officers (4 SWO(N) and 4 EDO(N)) • Four selects authorized by precept • Board picked 3 SWO(N)s and 1 EDO(N) • Must be under orders to an ARO billet by 30 Sept of year of selection • 30-36 month tour • Financially incentivized • Nuclear COPAY eligibility continues through ARO tour and beyond until reaching 21 YCS or 3 years away from nuclear billet (whichever occurs first)
