Who is responsible for the administration of the Recruiting Referral Recognition Program?

The Recruiting Referral Recognition Program is designed to acknowledge and incentivize Navy personnel who successfully refer qualified candidates for enlistment. The responsibility for the administration of this program falls under the N3 division.

N3 is the Operations Directorate within the Navy hierarchy, which typically handles policy formulation and system operations regarding recruiting efforts. Effective management of the Recruiting Referral Recognition Program requires coordination of operational tasks and personnel initiatives, areas that are aligned with the scope of N3’s responsibilities. The N2 division, focusing on intelligence, N4, which pertains to logistics, and N1, which deals with manpower and personnel administration, do not have direct oversight of recruiting policies or referral programs, making them less relevant in this context. Thus, N3’s role ensures that the program operates effectively and meets its objectives by promoting recruitment through recognized referrals.
