On Monday June 24, 2024, Vice Admiral John Fuller, Naval Inspector General visited the Navy Reserve Center (NRC) in Baltimore. NRC Baltimore was an integral part of the response to the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, providing search and rescue (SAR) support.

The visit was hosted by Captain Motale (Mo) Efimba, Commanding Officer of Navy Reserve Center Baltimore. Vice Adm. Fuller spoke to staff about the Office of the Naval Inspector General, the importance of the active duty-reserve partnership, and understanding the work of an inspector general (IG.) He also answered questions from the well-informed attendees about topics such as career advancement, health care options, and personnel readiness.
