Committee Report on the New Jersey Naval Militia Joint Command (NJNMJC) to The Adjutant General
Budget

The NJNMJC received budget appropriations in FY 2001 and FY 2002 totaling $160,000. The bulk of these funds went to purchase equipment for the boats acquired by the command. Subsequently, all other expenditures came out of the State Active Duty accounts as reflected below. The vast majority of this money was spent on Operation Noble Eagle. There have been no funds available since the start of FY 2003. The NJNMJC has been using the Plainfield Armory for training. Use of the armory has been treated as in kind costs by DMAVA.

New Jersey Naval Militia’s State Active Duty Expenditures

Potential funding requirements have been projected for the next three years. The first year includes a chart for operations with existing equipment and alternatively, with badly needed new engines. Each year also includes estimated personnel complement.

Planning Assumptions

1. Year 1A budget reflects the cost to put three boats in the water with existing engines.

2. Year 1B budget includes new engines for PBU-1 and PBU-2.

3. Year 2 and 3 budgets are predicated on new engines in PBU-1 and PBU-2.

4. Training costs reflect $60 per State Guard member per year. (Naval Militia personnel are trained in their Reserve Units.)

5. Vehicle acquisition includes purchase of one SUV in years 1 and 2, and one V5 passenger van in year 3; O & M is at state specified rates.

6. Mandays are variable based State Active Duty with pay and liability costs funded outside of DMAVA accounts costs of State Active Duty are not included.

7. Cost for full-time employees does not include fringe benefits of approximately 30 percent that is funded centrally by the State.

8. Year 3 addition of PBUs 5 and 6 assumes continued no cost acquisition and serviceable engines.

9. Recruiting will be done on a voluntary basis.
