The '''Naval Reserve''' ('''NAVRES,''' ((lang-fr|link=no|Réserve navale))) is the [[Primary Reserve]] component of the [[Royal Canadian Navy]] (RCN). The primary mission of the NAVRES is to force generate sailors and teams for [[Canadian Armed Forces]] (CAF) operations, including: domestic safety operations as well as security and defence missions, while at the same time supporting the Navy's efforts in connecting with Canadians through the maintenance of a broad national presence.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.navy-marine.forces.gc.ca/en/about/structure-navres-mission-vision.page|title=NAVRES Vision / Mission ((!))

==History==
=== Royal Naval Canadian Volunteer Reserve (1914–1918) ===
((Main|Royal Naval Canadian Volunteer Reserve))

Canada's modern Naval Reserve finds its origins with the [[Royal Naval Canadian Volunteer Reserve]] (RNCVR) created on 14 May 1914 under the provisions of ''[[Naval Service Act]].'' Organised into Atlantic, Lake and Pacific subcommands, 8,000 Canadians enlisted for service in the RNCVS during WWI. Agreeing to serve in wartime with either the RCN or the British [[Royal Navy]],<ref>((Cite book|title=The Naval Service of Canada, Its Official History – Volume 1: Origins and Early Years|last=Tucker|first=Gilbert Norman|publisher=King's Printer|year=1962|location=Ottawa))</ref> members of the RNCVR crewed 160 vessels, patrolling the shores of Canada and conducting convoy escort duties.<ref>((cite web|url=http://ns1763.ca/archiv/navreshist200711.html|title=Canadian Naval Reserve Early History|website=ns1763.ca|access-date=17 August 2017))</ref> The RNCVR was extinguished four years later and its personnel demobilized following the end of the war in 1918.[[File:Naval Reserve with guns at Stanley Park WWI.jpg|thumb|The Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve at the [[QF 4 inch naval gun Mk I - III|QF 4-inch gun]] emplacement near Ferguson Point, [[Stanley Park, Vancouver]]. - Aug 1914|alt=]]

=== Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve (1923–1945) ===
((Main|Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve))

In 1923, the [[Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve]] (RCNVR) was stood up and under the command of Rear-Admiral [[Walter Hose]] who authorized the creation of NRDs in every major Canadian city. In 1941 Naval Reserve divisions were granted the designations ‘His or Her Majesty’s Canadian ships’ and received its own command and a seat on the Naval Board.<ref>((Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nCNsFfh0zu8C&q=%E2%80%9CThe+Impact+of+Public+Policy+on+a+Naval+Reserve+Division%E2%80%9D&pg=PA308|title=RCN in Retrospect, 1910-1968|last=Boutilier|first=James A.|date=2011-11-01|publisher=UBC Press|isbn=978-0-7748-4346-1|language=en))</ref> The new naval reserve establishment formed a robust reserve force building popular support amongst Canadians for the fledgling Canadian Navy. During the Second World War, the RCNVR became the backbone of the Canadian Navy, recruiting officers and sailors for the Navy. By the end of the war, Canada possessed the third-largest navy in the world, with a complement of nearly 100,000. Most of these men and women were members of the RCNVR.[[File:An Empire 'party'- British Mgb's Rout E-boats.

=== Naval Reserve (1945–1968) ===
With the end of the Second World War, the Naval Reserve was formed in 1945 replacing the RCNVR. Expected to maintain the same level of skill as the Regular Force, training and pay for reservists was equalised. Focused on minesweeping, escort, and coastal patrol; each division mirrored its organisation, training and crew with all officer branches and non-commissioned trades across the fleet.<ref>((Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=c3Bvl5pfIQMC&q=minesweeping|title=Citizen Sailors: Chronicles of Canada's Naval Reserve, 1910-2010|last1=Gimblett|first1=Richard Howard|last2=Hadley|first2=Michael L.|date=2010-11-16|publisher=Dundurn|isbn=978-1-55488-867-2|language=en))</ref> Despite successfully expanding the University Naval Training Division (UNTD), forming a dedicated 'Commanding Officer, Naval Divisions' command in 1953 and attaching various tender craft to NRDs; the Naval Reserve experienced suffered a decline in skill due to focusing on generalist skills and lack of opportunities to sea-going ships leading up to the [[unification of the Canadian Forces]] in 1968.

=== Canadian Forces Naval Reserve (1968–1990) ===
With the unification of the Canadian Forces, the Naval Reserve was renamed the Canadian Forces Naval Reserve and years of decline set in. With no combat capability, except the Naval Reserve Naval Control of Shipping (NCS) program, the Naval Reserve lost political advocacy and was left out of any formal role in the Canadian Forces defence structure. Left outside the Canadian Forces structure, the Naval Reserve would rely on new and unique ways of keeping relevant during the Cold War years. With the UNTD program shuttered, for example, NRDs worked to expand their recruiting numbers by employing students at local level, and force generating sailors initially trained at the unit level to serve on major warships.<ref name=":0">((Cite journal|last=Mulkins|first=Marta|date=2011|title=A FINE BALANCE: CHALLENGES TO CANADA'S NAVAL RESERVE|url=https://www.cfc.forces.gc.ca/259/290/297/286/mulkins.pdf|journal=Canadian Forces College|pages=22))</ref> Years of decline was finally ended with Canada's 1987 White Paper on defence policy ''Challenge and Commitments.''

=== Canadian Forces Naval Reserve (1990–2001) ===
With more integration of the Primary Reserve into the 'Total Force Concept' as outlined by the 1987 Defence White Paper, and then confirmed in the 1994 follow-up white paper, the NAVRES was tasked with providing niche capabilities to assist the Regular Force. One such task undertaken by the NAVRES was to spearhead enhancing RCN [[mine countermeasure]]s operation capabilities and by crewing twelve new ((Sclass|Kingston|coastal defence vessel))s, that since their introduction in 1996, have significantly contributed to Canadian maritime security and allied commitments, both domestically and internationally. The NAVRES was additionally tasked with maintaining standing [[port inspection diver]] teams, supporting regional dive centres and supplying four non-standing port security units and four [[naval co-operation and guidance for shipping]] (the former NCS, now NCAGS) units.<ref name=":0" />

== Mission ==
The mission of the NAVRES is to generate trained individuals and teams for CAF operations, including domestic safety operations as well as security and defence missions, while at the same time supporting the RCN's efforts in connecting with Canadians through the maintenance of a broad national presence.

The tasks of the NAVRES is to:

# Respond to domestic safety operations with trained sailors and small boat expertise.
# Provide specific unique skill sets for security missions for the RCN.
# Augment the fleet on any platform or shore capacity for defence missions, both at home and abroad.
# Provide the linkage for the RCN to local communities.

NAVRES fills a number of roles within the Total Force Plan. In addition to augmenting the Regular Force, naval reservists form diving units and public relations units such as the National Band of the Naval Reserve.[[File:HMCS-Brandon-Minesweeperhig.jpg|thumb|((HMCS|Brandon|MM 710|6)), Kingston-class maritime coastal defence vessel, conducting mine-sweeping operations in 2004.]]

== Organization ==

=== Naval Reserve Headquarters ===
Located in [[Quebec City]] at the Pointe-à-Carcy Naval Complex, Naval Reserve Headquarters (NAVRESHQ) oversees the operation of all 24 NRDs across Canada. Co-located with NAVRESHQ is NRD HMCS ''Montcalm'', Naval Fleet School (Quebec) (NFS(Q)) and the Naval Museum of Quebec - Stanislas-Déry Naval Museum.

=== Naval Reserve divisions===
Organized into 24 shore-based NRDs, Naval Reserve units are dedicated to training sailors to augment the Regular Force as well as functioning as local recruitment centres for the RCN and NAVRES. Manned by a small cadre of full-time reservists and Regular Force members to coordinate training and administration, operations at NRDs and dependent units are conducted year-round with reservists frequently deploying on operations and training courses during the summer season.

=== National Band of the Naval Reserve ===
((main|National Band of the Naval Reserve))
Each summer, musicians from the five NRDs come together to form the [[National Band of the Naval Reserve]] (NBNR). During the summer months the NBNR is a full-time touring military band composed of musicians from ((HMCS|Chippawa)), ((HMCS|Donnacona||2)), ((HMCS|Montcalm||2)), ((HMCS|Star||2)), ((HMCS|Tecumseh||2)) and ((HMCS|York||2)).[[File:National Band of the Naval Reserve (6053617906).jpg|thumb|Member of the NBNR speaking at a community event in 2011]]

== Equipment ==
As of 2019, [[List of Canadian Forces Naval Reserve divisions|naval reserve divisions]] (NRDs) across Canada primarily operate various types of inboard and outboard rigid-hull inflatable boats in addition to [[Defender-class boat]]s operated by the NST. Most particularly, NAVRES is tasked with providing the personnel for the ((sclass|Kingston|coastal defence vessel))s and Naval Security Team (NST).<ref>((Cite web|last=Navy|first=Government of Canada, National Defence, Royal Canadian|title=NAVRES Headquarters & Schools ((!))

== Personnel ==
Naval reservists are individuals who are otherwise engaged in civilian careers while pursuing a military career in the CAF with NAVRES as an officer or non-commissioned member. They train and work for the Navy in the evenings, on weekends and during the summer period, in an occupation of their choice. They can be students, teachers, lawyers, delivery persons, secretaries, or other members of society. Most serve on a part-time basis, with no obligation to participate in any mission overseas. However, many full-time employment opportunities and deployments are available to those reservists who volunteer for them.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.navy-marine.forces.gc.ca/en/about/structure-navres-home.page|title=Naval Reserve ((!)) Royal Canadian Navy|last=Navy|first=Government of Canada, National Defence, Royal Canadian|website=www.navy-marine.forces.gc.ca|language=en|access-date=2017-03-29))</ref>

Throughout their career, sailors may serve in three classes of service:

* Class A (part-time);
* Class B (full-time non-operational); or
* Class C (full-time operational).

=== Training ===
Reserve Force members are trained to the same level as their Regular Force counterparts. They usually begin training with their home unit to ensure that they meet the required basic professional military standards, followed by basic training at Camp Vimy at [[CFB Valcartier]], Quebec.

Naval Fleet School (Quebec) (NFS(Q)) is the RCN's school dedicated to training reservists at various points of their careers and serving as the CAF centre of excellence for coastal and littoral warfare training.<ref name="navres">((cite web|title=Canadian Navy: NAVRES – The Naval Reserve – Welcome aboard|url=http://www.navy.forces.gc.ca/navres/index-eng.asp|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130522200622/http://www.navy.forces.gc.ca/navres/index-eng.asp|archive-date=2013-05-22|access-date=2013-04-16))</ref><ref>((Cite web|last=Government of Canada|first=National Defence|date=n.d.|title=navres-cffs|url=http://www.navy-marine.forces.gc.ca/en/about/structure-navres-cffs.page|access-date=2019-11-11|website=www.navy-marine.forces.gc.ca))</ref> For at sea training, the [[Orca-class patrol vessel|''Orca''-class patrol vessels]] are primarily used to facilitate numerous one-to-six-week long at-sea training evolutions for training for reserve sailors.<ref name="DieselProgress2">((cite journal|date=1 April 2007|title=Fast tests keep new Canadian navy training ships on schedule|url=https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Fast+tests+keep+new+Canadian+navy+training+ships+on+schedule.-a0162785142|journal=Diesel Progress North American Edition|publisher=Diesel & Gas Turbine Publications|issue=April 2007))</ref> A class of eight steel-hulled training and surveillance vessels, the ''Orca-''class patrol vessels are located at Patrol Craft Training Unit [[CFB Esquimalt|Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Esquimalt]].<ref name=":02">((Cite web|title=Bill van Dinther ((!))

In an effort to streamline the recruiting processes for naval reservists, in February 2017 NAVRES initiated the Expedited Reserve Enrolment to allow applicants who meet security, medical, and basic fitness standards to enroll in as few as 21 days or between two and three visits after initial contact with NRD recruiters.<ref>((Cite web|last=Defence|first=National|title=Naval Reserve enrolls first candidate through Expedited Enrolment – Canada.ca|url=https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/news/2017/03/english.html|access-date=2017-03-29|website=www.canada.ca|language=en))</ref>
