Newest NP2 Features Improve Navy Reserve Pay and Personnel Processes
Commander, Navy Reserve Forces Command (CNRFC) announces the latest capability improvements to administrative processes and pay procedures through Navy Personnel and Pay (NP2).
MySailor Data, improved travel voucher processing and the integration of Navy Reserve orders mark the latest installments that deliver expanded Human Resource (HR) self-service capability to a single, integrated personnel and pay system, for all Sailors – active or Reserve.
“The initial rollout of NP2 began over a year ago, but these latest releases really begin to show the fruits of our labor,” said Capt. Claudia Macon, team lead for the MyNavy HR Reserve Transformation initiative at CNRFC. “We’re implementing an agile development methodology with new capabilities being released every quarter. Sailors should begin to notice a real difference in the way administrative requests are handled and processed.”
MySailor Data is home for the necessary information that supports personnel and pay transactions for active and Reserve Sailors. Rather than having to log into multiple systems to check for accuracy and make necessary updates, all service record information serving as the mechanism to deliver your pay and entitlements is now in one location. MySailor Data will soon replace the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) Electronic Service Record (ESR).
The behind-the-scenes process for delivering the appropriate compensation after executing active duty for operational support (ADOS) and Officer Recall orders is now automated. After Sailors submit a travel voucher, Command and Pay Personnel Administrators (CPPA) are no longer required to manually download vouchers and the associated supporting documents. Approved travel vouchers are now electronically available to immediately process for pay. This change expedites travel reimbursement and compensation for completed duty.
The integration of Reserve Orders gives Reserve Sailors the same capability as active Sailors to execute a tailored orders checklist and view and print lean orders – a truncated version of orders that makes it easier to present a hard copy of orders and execute official business while traveling. A recent integration of over 450,000 records is complete and Reserve Sailors can view past, current and future orders in a single location.
“These newest improvements set the tone for how we're making administrative processes easier for Sailors to complete and an indication for what is still to come in the future,” said Cmdr. Julie McGill, deputy for the MyNavy HR Reserve Transformation initiative at CNRFC. “Each additional improvement gets us closer to our goal of a completely automated and streamlined system so Sailors are not burdened with administrative processes.”
Similar to previously released NP2 capabilities, Sailor access is available 24/7 from any device through MyNavy Portal or by clicking here [https://prodhr.np2.navy.mil]. NP2 utilizes commercial-grade multi-factor authentication, eliminating the need to login with a common access card (CAC).

Be on the lookout for the next installment of administrative improvements set to be released in December 2020. (U.S. Navy video by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Arthurgwain L. Marquez)

Dredge Potter on the Mississippi River
Dredge Potter has two pipeline systems available depending on the requirements of the job. Here, it uses 2,400 foot of flexible, self-floating pipeline, as it works to maintain the 9-foot navigation channel on the Middle Mississippi River near Chester, Illinois, Aug. 18, 2023. This pipeline provides for fixed point placement that allows the dredged material to be used for ephemeral island creation, or other beneficial use. The other pipeline system is 832 feet of steel pipeline supported on pontoons, which allows for the dredged material to be sidecast outside of the navigation channel.

Dredge Potter
The St. Louis District’s Potter, photographed on the Mississippi River during the 2022-23 dredging season was originally built in 1932 and is a dustpan dredge. During operations, the dustpan head is submerged toward the river bottom and water jets stir up the sand gravel on the bottom of the river, which is then vacuumed up and moved through 800 feet of pipe to be discharged somewhere outside the channel.

The Mississippi River Highway
Everyday thousands of vessels move people, commodities, and products across the country via the nation's rivers and harbors and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for ensuring the safe, reliable, efficient, and environmentally sustainable movement of these vessels. Shipping by barge can be the most cost-efficient and sustainable way of moving cargo via the Mississippi River where the St. Louis District, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains a 9-foot navigation channel. Watch as a tow pushing barges passes the Dredge Potter and Kimmswick on the Mississippi River.

Dredge Potter Pipeline Positioning
The St. Louis District, Dredge Potter can move 50,000 cubic yards per day of alluvial materials from the bottom of the river bed and send the material long distances through a floating discharge pipe. During operation, the cutter-head dredge swings from side to side alternately, using its port and starboard spuds as a pivot, with cables attached to anchors on each side controlling lateral movement.

St. Louis District Overview
The St. Louis District is strategically located at the crossroads of three major river systems: the Illinois, Mississippi and Missouri. The District encompasses some 28,000 square miles, almost equally divided between Illinois and Missouri. The St. Louis District is responsible for maintaining a 9-foot-deep navigation channel on 300 miles of the Mississippi, 80 miles of the Illinois and 36 miles of the Kaskaskia Rivers. District personnel operate and maintain five lock and dam sites, four on the Upper Mississippi and one on the Kaskaskia River. In addition to the rivers, the District operates and maintains five multi-purpose lakes. Their purposes include environmental stewardship, habitat restoration, fish and wildlife management, flood damage reduction, water supply, hydropower and recreation.
