This BIBLIOGRAPHY is provided by NAC to document the REFERENCES used by a subject matter expert (a Navy Chief in the rating) as the basis for writing the questions on the REGULAR Navy Advancement exam that will be given to ACTIVE DUTY PERSONNEL in January 2027. All exam questions are developed by rating subject matter experts utilizing the latest Occupational Standards provided by NAVMAC.
The questions for your exam are based on the references listed in this bibliography. If a reference has been updated since the exam was created and differs from the reference listed here, the information in the updated reference will be considered when the exam is scored.
The Professional Military Knowledge (PMK) references are no longer listed as part of this document, since PMK questions are no longer part of the Navy-Wide Advancement Exam (NWAE).
