News story here: https://www.navyreserve.navy.mil/News/Article-View-News/Article/2509802/the-extremism-stand-down-how-and-why-its-happening/

Highlights:

• Recent events highlight that the U.S. Armed Forces, including our Navy (service members, civilian personnel and all those who support our mission), are not immune from the corrosive effects of extremist ideology and conduct.

• Commanders and Commanding Officers will conduct a stand-down prior to 2 April 2021 for all military personnel and Department of the Navy (DON) civilians to address extremism in the ranks in accordance with DoD guidance and ALNAV 010/21 (Stand-down to Address Extremism in the Ranks).

• The intent of this stand-down (which may be conducted virtually or in-person with the appropriate COVID-19 mitigations) is to ensure service members and civilian personnel clearly understand the damaging effects of extremism and begin developing more effective, sustainable ways to eliminate the corrosive impacts extremist activity can have on our Force.

• A discussion guide, supplementary slides, and additional resources to assist Commanders and Commanding Officers with the conduct of this stand-down are posted at https://www.navy.mil/Leadership/Chief-of-Naval-Personnel/CNP-Department-Exclusives/. Commanders have the discretion to tailor discussions with their personnel as appropriate, but at a minimum the stand-down will include delineated requirements per the NAVADMIN.

• As Sailors, we must strive to be inclusive, creating an environment where every individual understands that they are a valued member of the Navy team. This is an All Hands effort. As we begin to implement the work of Task Force One Navy, Vice Adm. Nowell, Chief of Naval Personnel, reminds all Sailors and civilians of the Signature Behaviors: o Treat every person with respect. o Take responsibility for my actions. o Hold others accountable for their actions. o Intervene when necessary. o Be a leader and encourage leadership in others. o Grow personally and professionally every day. o Embrace the diversity of ideas, experiences and backgrounds of individuals. o Uphold the highest degree of integrity in professional and personal life. o Exercise discipline in conduct and performance. o Contribute to team success through actions and attitude.
