The change-of-command ceremony took place at ONR headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, and was also streamed virtually to the wider ONR and U.S. Navy Reserve community.
The ONR-RC comprises approximately 190 Navy Reservists from eight units nationwide. Many of these individuals have advanced technical degrees in science and engineering disciplines, as well as deep operational experience in the fleet.
The ONR-RC supports ONR in many ways — including developing concepts of operations and integration plans for new and developing technologies; taking part in transition boards and assessments; participating in technology demonstrations and war-gaming exercises; and serving as military liaisons and science advisors to allied nations.
