(1) Basic Readiness Officer Course (B-ROC)
Course Description: The Basic Readiness Officer Course is the first course in the Medical Department Officer’s Learning Continuum. B-ROC is a four unit course in which all units must be completed to receive credit. The course is designed for junior Medical Department Officers in the paygrades O1 to O3 to introduce the organization, structure, business practices, and operational policies of the Naval Medical Department. B-ROC fulfills 8 of the 36 Joint Medical Executive Skills Program (JMESP) competencies.
Funding: There is no cost for this online course.
Process: Available online through Navy E-Learning following the steps below:
1. Navigate to Navy E-Learning (NEL)
2. Select tab “Course Catalog” and cut and paste the following course catalog numbers into the search:
Module(s) Search with Course ID Numbers (CINs)
| B-ROC Unit 1: Organizational Structure, Relationships, and Policy, use | CFHP-NMLPDC-21-BROC-U1-V02 |
| B-ROC Unit 2: Utilization and Management of Resources Course, use | CFHP-NMLPDC-21-BROC-U2-V02 |
| B-ROC Unit 3: Operational Policies and Procedure, use | CFHP-NMLPDC-21-BROC-U3-V02 |
| B-ROC Unit 4: Navy Medicine Division Officer (DIVO)/ Department Head (DH) Functions and Sailorization, | CFHP-NMLPDC-21-BROC-U4-V02 |
* Notes:
(1) There is an Ashore vs. Afloat BROC = same course, but Afloat BROC is designed to work within the more IT constrained/restrictive bandwidth Afloat IT environment.
(2) Completion of any BROC version or BMDOC counts for course credit.
3. Select ENROLL for Shore or Afloat BROC and each unit and add to Learning Plan
4. Return to tab My Learning and LAUNCH Course
Other information:
1. Service School: Like BMDOC, BROC is NOT a Service School. BROC will only auto-reflect in the electronic training jacket and not on the OSR since BROC is not a service school.
2. Prerequisite to AROC: BROC is once again a prerequisite for the Advanced Readiness Officer Course (AROC); HOWEVER, if you already completed BMDOC (in its entirety), you have satisfied the prerequisite and are NOT required to complete BROC.
3. All BROC Modules must be completed in their entirety to meet the overall course requirement.

Leadership and Accountability ALNAV
ROUTINE R 022013Z JUN 22 MID200001775961U FM SECNAV WASHINGTON DC TO ALNAV INFO SECNAV WASHINGTON DC CNO WASHINGTON DC CMC WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS ALNAV 036/22 MSGID/GENADMIN/SECNAV WASHINGTON DC/-/JUN// SUBJ/LEADERSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY ALNAV// RMKS/1. Since taking the oath to serve as Secretary of the Navy, one of my three enduring priorities is empowering our people. We do this through a culture of warfighting excellence built on leadership that exudes treating others with dignity and respect. While serving as your Secretary these past 10 months, several issues have come across my desk for decision or review that galvanized the significance of steadfast leadership and total accountability in our Department of the Navy (DON). I fully endorse the leadership principles and expectations shared in the Chief of Naval Operations' "Charge of Command" and the "Command and Leadership" summary outlined in the Commandant's Planning Guidance. There are a few tenets to highlight. Leaders in key roles - especially those in command - are selected based on years of training, experience, qualifications, established requirements, and a multitude of distinct factors. These leaders are the best and most fully qualified. The special trust, confidence, and responsibility placed on the leaders in command also brings a higher level of accountability. The Command and Leadership section of General David H. Berger's Planning Guidance states that "elite organizations do not accept mediocrity and they do not look the other way when teammates come up short of expectations." When leaders' actions or inactions result in the loss of life or capital resources or simply lower our standards, the senior leadership of the DON has a responsibility to determine the root cause and hold responsible persons appropriately accountable. Leaders in command have the ultimate responsibility for capital resources entrusted to us by Congress and the American taxpayer. I would encourage all leaders - especially those in command - to continually assess your team's performance, to communicate early and often on material readiness and resources shortfalls as well as impediments to improvement and always ask for help when needed. Clear command and control (C2) is paramount. I challenge each of you in positions of leadership to precisely understand your C2 and what authorities and responsibilities you hold under your charge. Admiral Michael M. Gilday's "Charge of Command" states that although we have no tolerance on key issues such as Sexual Assault or Harassment, we are not a zero-defect organization. I agree that not every mistake should end one's career of service. Learning from mistakes is an essential part of evolving into a better leader and ultimately a better organization. In closing, I am proud of each and every one of you who serves. While leadership at times may be challenging, it is incredibly rewarding and will shape us to be the very best version of ourselves. We must cherish the special trust, confidence, and responsibility that comes with command and should never take it for granted. The lives of our Sailors, Marines, and DON civilians depend on it. Our Nation demands it. 2. Released by the Honorable Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the Navy.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
