Encourage the students to apply at least 1 of the 8 critical variables: Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, Infrastructure, Physical Environment, and Time. MOTIVATOR. As the Army builds its capabilities for the current and future force, human resources doctrine and structure must change to provide the required capability to the commanders in the battle space. As discussed in the PRM Overview, under the Army HR Transformation and Personnel Services Delivery Redesign (PSDR), PRM has become brigade-centric and the roles and responsibilities of HR leaders at all levels have changed. For the next few hours, we will discuss how BDE S-1s play a vital role in managing enlisted distribution and assignments and how managing to the brigade level enhances precision management and enables the personnel system to better support modularity and force stabilization.

It also provides for visible and logical career patterns for progression to successively higher level positions of responsibility and grade.

Enlisted Classification System Key Terms (1 of 3)
Career Management Field (CMF) - Identifies a group of related MOSs; used in the development, counseling and management of enlisted personnel. Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) - Identifies duty positions that require closely related skills; broadly identifies types of skill without regard to skill level. Military Occupational Specialty Code (MOSC) - Nine character code used to identify MOS, skill level, and special qualifications. Provides more specific occupational identity than the MOS.

The enlisted classification system impacts fundamentally on enlisted accessions, training, classification, evaluation, distribution, deployment, sustainment, and professional development. It also provides for visible and logical career patterns for progression to successively higher level positions of responsibility and grade. The following are some key terms and related definitions that are important in the enlisted military occupational specialty system: (1) Career Management Field (CMF): The CMF identifies a grouping of related MOSs that is basically self-renewing and managed in terms of both manpower and personnel considerations. Characteristics of CMF are: Provides a visible and logical progression from entry into the training base to retirement in grade of SGM. The MOSs are so related that Soldiers serving in one specialty potentially have the abilities and aptitudes for training and assignment in most or all of the other specialties in that field. (c) The career content is supported by annual first-term accessions to replenish the losses from the career force of the field. (2) Military Occupational Specialty (MOS): The MOS identifies a group of duty positions that requires closely related skills. A Soldier qualified in one duty position in a MOS may, with adequate OJT, perform in any of the other positions that are at the same level of complexity or difficulty. It broadly identifies types of skills without regard to skill level. (3) MOS Code (MOSC): The MOSC provides a more specific occupational identity than the MOS. It is used in the following ways: (a) To classify enlisted Soldiers. (b) To classify enlisted positions in requirement and authorization documents. (c) Provides detailed occupational identity in records, orders, reports, management systems, and data bases. (d) A basis for training, evaluation, promotion, and other related personnel management development areas. AR 611-1, Chapter 6, para 6-1 through 6-6

Primary MOS (PMOS) -Most important in terms of management Secondary MOS (SMOS) -Specialty different than PMOS; second in importance in terms of management Additional MOS (AMOS) -MOS in addition to PMOS and SMOS Duty MOS (DMOS) -MOS that identifies authorized manning table positions to which a Soldier is assigned Space Imbalanced MOS (SIMOS) -55 percent of the Army’s MOS authorizations are based OCONUS SHOW SLIDE: ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM KEY TERMS (2 OF 3) NOTE: Refer students to the Glossary, AR , for definitions of the following key terms. (4) Primary MOS (PMOS): The PMOS is awarded to Soldiers upon completion of an MOS- producing school. It is the most important to the Army in terms of training, experience, demonstrated qualifications, and Army needs. (5) Secondary MOS (SMOS): This is an additional MOS awarded in a specialty different from the PMOS. Second in importance to the Army when evaluated in training, experience, demonstrated qualifications, and the Army’s needs. (6) Additional MOS (AMOS): An MOS awarded in addition to PMOS and SMOS. NOTE: Ask students why they think it is important in the current operational environment that Soldiers have SMOS and AMOS. Explain that today's Soldiers must be adaptive and capable of many different skills on today's battlefield. Soldiers may find themselves contributing to the battle in capabilities other than their PMOS. (7) Duty MOS (DMOS): MOS that identifies authorized manning table positions to which a Soldier is assigned and for which he/she is performing duty or the MOS of the duty that the Soldier is performing if not assigned to an authorized manning table position. NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 1-13, for definition of the following key term. (8) Space Imbalanced MOS (SIMOS): Situation at a given time (present or projected) in which overseas MTOE and TDA authorizations or requirements for a given MOS exceed those documented for CONUS installations. This condition exists when at least 55% of the authorizations for a particular MOS are OCONUS. The SIMOS program is intended for grades Sergeant (SGT) through Sergeant First Class (SFC) and is designed to enhance personnel retention in the career force and to provide for a more effective use of enlisted Soldiers.

Special Qualification Identifier (SQI) Code -Authorized with any MOS. Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) -Authorized for use only with designated MOS. -Specialized skills, qualifications and requirements closely related to or in addition to a particular MOS. Language Identifier Code (LIC) -Authorized with any MOS -Identifies Soldier’s foreign language qualifications SHOW SLIDE: ENLISTED CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM KEY TERMS (3 OF 3) NOTE: For the discussion below on SQI, ASI, and LIC, refer students to AR , paragraph 3-13, DA PAM , Chapter 2, para 2-12 ( and AR 11-6 ( in addition to AR (9) Skill Qualification Identifier (SQI) Code: The SQI is identified by a one character code and is used with the MOS and SL to form the basic five character MOSC. Identifies both positions in the authorization documents and personnel qualifications. It is not a substitute for an MOS and will not represent the sole skill required for any position. As explained in AR , paragraph 3-13, it is the fifth character of the MOSC and can be used with any MOS, unless restricted by DA PAM The fifth character of the MOSC will be the letter "O" when a Soldier is not qualified for a SQI. (10) Additional Skill Identifier (ASI): The ASI is a two-digit alpha-numeric or numeric-alpha code that identifies specialized skills, qualifications, and requirements that are closely related to and are in addition to those in an MOS. ASI are authorized for use only with designated MOS as shown in DA PAM , Chapter 2, para As explained in AR , paragraph 3-13, the ASI is the sixth and seventh characters of the MOSC and contains the numbers "00" if a Soldier is not qualified for an ASI. (11) Language Identifier Code (LIC): The LIC is a two character code that identifies a Soldier's qualification in a foreign language (AR 11-6). Language codes are authorized for use with any MOS. When a Soldier is not qualified in a foreign language, the eighth and ninth characters of the MOS will contain "YY".

As previously discussed, the MOSC provides more specific occupational identity than the MOS. It is used to classify both personnel and positions in authorization documents. The MOSC consists of nine characters and is divided into five parts. The elements of the MOSC include: (1) The first part of the MOSC consists of the first three characters (two numbers and one letter) that identifies the MOS without regard to level of skill. The first two characters relate to the MOS and do not identify the CMF of which the MOS is part of. (2) The second part of the MOSC is the fourth character that designates the skill level. This is a number. With the first three characters, it shows skill and grade level in the MOS. The skill level matches the rank of the Soldier as shown in DA PAM occupational career progression charts and the student handout (e.g., 1=PVT-SPC/CPL, 2=SGT, 3=SSG, 4=SFC, 5=MSG/1SG/SGM/CSM). (3) The third part of the MOSC is the fifth character that designates the SQI. This may be a letter or a number that reflects SQI common to a number of positions and MOS. Listed below is some additional information that governs SQI: (a) AR , paragraph 3-13, shows the order of precedence for SQI when a Soldier possesses more than one. The SQI with a higher precedence is attached to the MOSC. Some SQI, such as "X", "Q", "H", and "B" take precedence only when the Soldier is assigned to a position authorized that SQI. The SQI "L" is the lowest priority. SQI “O” will always be used when a position does not require special qualifications or an individual is not qualified for award of an SQI. (b) Descriptions, qualifications, and restrictions for SQI are in Table 12-1, DA PAM This table must be reviewed when determining if a Soldier is authorized an SQI.

These may be alpha-numeric or number-alpha characters. ASI codes are used to identify skills requiring formal training or other designated criteria. The numbers “00” will be used when a position does not require an ASI or a Soldier is not qualified for award of an ASI. ASI codes will be included in PCS orders, record and reports, as required. The restrictions portion shows which MOS each ASI can be associated with. If the MOS is not listed, then that ASI cannot become a part of the Soldier's MOSC. Descriptions, qualifications, and restrictions for ASI are in Table 12-2, DA PAM , (5) The fifth part of the MOSC is the eighth and ninth characters that designate the LIC. These are two-letter combinations that identify foreign language requirements and qualifications provided in AR 11-6 and and may be used with any MOS. Orders, records and reports will use the letters “YY” when foreign language is not required or a Soldier is not foreign language qualified. A Soldier is awarded a language identifier only after demonstrating proficiency in a foreign language through testing. Additionally, the LIC will be withdrawn from MOSC when language proficiency for both listening and reading comprehension fall below the standards specified in AR 11-6.

Reclassification Guidelines
SSG (Promotable) and above: Commander, Human Resources Command (HRC) - Controls SSG (P) and above reclassifications, regardless of MOS. SSG (Non-promotable) and below: Commander, Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) - Approval is further delegated to commanders of Training Activities (installations) and Commandants of Army Service Schools. Commanders of Army Commands (ACOM), Army Service Component (ASCC) and Direct Reporting Units (DRU) - Approval is further delegated to commanders of FORSCOM installations. SHOW SLIDE: PMOS GUIDELINES b. When a Soldier is awarded a new PMOS, it is considered a reclassification. However, at this point it is important to understand who awards PMOS, SMOS, and AMOS. The following organizations have reclassification approval authority (PMOS) consistent with AR : (1) Commander, Human Resources Command (HRC). Develops procedures and programs to implement DA policy pertaining to reclassification for promotable Staff Sergeants and above, regardless of MOS. (2) Commander, Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). Approves reclassification for Soldiers in the grade of Staff Sergeant (non-promotable) and below, when their MOS is authorized by the HRC’s reenlistment and/or reclassification IN/OUT call message or otherwise directed by HRC. This approval authority is further delegated to commanders of TRADOC installations. (e.g., Commanding General, Fort Jackson, SC) NOTE: Explain to students that for initial awarding of a MOS (initial entry training) the training activity commander (e.g., Fort Jackson, S.C.) or the Commandants of Army Service Schools (e.g., Commandant, Adjutant General School) normally awards the PMOS to initial entry soldiers after completion of Advanced Individual Training (AIT). (3) Commander, Army Commands (ACOM), Army Service Component Commands (ASCC), and Direct Reporting Units (DRU). Approves reclassification of Soldiers in the grade of Staff Sergeant (non-promotable) and below, when their MOS is authorized by the HRC’s reenlistment and/or reclassification IN/OUT call message or otherwise directed by HRC. This approval authority is further delegated to commanders of FORSCOM installations. (e.g., Commanding General, Fort Bragg, NC). c. Before a PMOS is awarded, the Soldier must meet the MOS qualifications listed in DA PAM Some MOS require formal school training before the MOS is awarded; in these cases, the Army service school or TRADOC installation that conducts the training awards the MOS upon completion of MOS training. AR , para 2-4, 2-6 and 2-7

SMOS Guidelines SMOS or AMOS provides an alternative specialty for assignment when Soldiers cannot be utilized in their PMOS or CPMOS. Soldiers will not be awarded a SMOS or AMOS that progresses to their PMOS at the rank of Sergeant First Class (SFC) or below. HRC is the approval authority for award of SMOS to Soldiers with PMOS 00Z and within CMFs 18 and 97, or MOS 21D, 21P, 37F, 79R, 79S, 79T, 89D, 92R, and 35L. For other MOSs, commands with reclassification approval authority may award a SMOS or AMOS when it is determined that the Soldier meets the MOS eligibility requirements, which include successful completion of MOS training. Award of SMOS and AMOS will be done without a RCN and will cite AR , paragraph 3-19 as authority on the orders. SHOW SLIDE: SMOS GUIDELINES NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 3-18i for the following discussion. d. The SMOS and AMOS provides an alternative specialty for assignment when Soldiers cannot be utilized in their PMOS or CPMOS specialty. All Soldiers, regardless of grade, may possess one SMOS and one AMOS. However, Soldiers will not be awarded a SMOS or AMOS that progresses to their PMOS at the rank of Sergeant First Class or below. Conditions for award of SMOS and AMOS are as follows: (1) HRC is the approval authority for award of SMOS to Soldiers with PMOS 00Z and for award of SMOS or AMOS within CMF 18 and 42, as well the MOSs listed in paragraph 3-18i. (2) For other MOSs, commands with reclassification approval authority, as identified above, may award SMOS or AMOS when it is determined the Soldier meets the eligibility requirements outlined in DA PAM and other pertinent regulations, including successful completion of MOS training. (3) Award of SMOS and AMOS will be done without a RCN and will cite paragraph i as authority on the orders. AR , para 3-19

Personnel Utilization Objectives
Ensure efficient use of Soldiers in accomplishing Army mission. Place Soldiers in positions appropriate to their PMOS, SMOS, or AMOS. Provide policies that strengthen and broaden MOS qualifications. Prepare Soldiers for career progression, greater responsibility, and diversity of assignment. SHOW SLIDE: PERSONNEL UTILIZATION OBJECTIVES NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 3-9. e. The objective of personnel utilization is to ensure efficient use of enlisted Soldiers in accomplishing the Army mission as well as to place Soldiers in positions that require skills, knowledge, and abilities as shown by their PMOS, SMOS, or additionally awarded military occupational specialty (AMOS). It also provides policies on personnel utilization that will strengthen and broaden MOS qualifications and prepare Soldiers for career progression, greater responsibility, and diversity of assignment.

Commander’s Utilization Priorities
(1 of 2) 1st Priority – (PMOS/CPMOS) (3-10a & 3-10a(6 & 10)) Can utilize in same grade or up to two grades higher. Certain Soldiers must work in PMOS/CPMOS – First Term Soldiers / Bonus Recipients/AIT Graduates. 2nd Priority – (SMOS) (3-10d(8)) Can utilize in the same or one higher skill level. Assignment not to exceed 12 months. 3rd Priority – (AMOS) (3-10d(8)) SHOW SLIDE: COMMANDER'S UTILIZATION PRIORITIES (1 of 2) NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 3-10 f. With regard to Army utilization criteria, Soldiers will be assigned to an organizational element according to the authorized MTOE/TDA/DMO positions, consistent with their PMOS or CPMOS qualifications. Ideally, each Soldier is utilized in his or her PMOS and skill level; however, this is not always possible due to current inventories of authorized and actual strengths. Therefore, the following priorities are established to assist commanders in properly utilizing their Soldiers: (1) First Priority. A commander’s first priority is always to utilize the Soldier in his or her PMOS or CPMOS. The commander may choose to utilize the Soldier up to two skill levels higher, if no higher ranking Soldiers in that MOS are available. Bonus recipients and non-bonus first term Soldiers must serve in their PMOS. Also, commanders will assure PMOS utilization through the first 12 months after completion of Advanced Individual Training (AIT). (2) Second Priority. The commander’s second priority is to utilize a Soldier in his or her SMOS, provided there are no other Soldiers available in the proper rank or MOS. Soldiers utilized in their SMOS can be assigned up to one grade higher, as authorized in DA PAM Soldiers utilized in their SMOS should not exceed 12 months. (3) Third Priority. The commander’s third priority is to utilize the Soldier in his AMOS if a valid vacancy exists. Soldiers utilized in an AMOS can work one skill level higher, as authorized in DA PAM This assignment should not exceed 12 months. AR , para 3-10

SHOW SLIDE: COMMANDER'S UTILIZATION PRIORITIES (2 OF 2) (4) Fourth Priority. The commander’s fourth priority is MOS substitution. Substitution must be based on the substitution rules in DA PAM Soldiers utilized in a substituted MOS can work one skill level higher (if no comparable skill level rule) and this assignment should not exceed 12 months. (5) Fifth Priority. Soldiers that cannot be properly utilized are considered immediately available (IA), previously known as surplus. Commanders will report IA Soldiers to HRC (AHRC–appropriate career branch) as soon as their availability date is known but no later than one day after availability date. NOTE: Refer students to AR , para. 3-15, regarding immediately available Soldiers. (6) Sixth Priority. The commander’s sixth priority is that as an exception, when the assignment is to meet an urgent military requirement to satisfy an exceptional need for special duty. Time is limited to 90 days, after which Soldiers must be returned to duties in their PMOS or CPMOS. Extensions will not be granted. NOTE: Refer students to the glossary for definition of “Special Duty” and its two subsets, “Borrowed Military Manpower” and “Troop Diversions”. AR , para. 3-10

Enlisted Distribution Target Model (EDTM) Overview
Software program that creates enlisted distribution targets by MOS, grade, and UIC. Fills each UIC reflected in the Personnel Manning Authorization Document (PMAD) with projected available inventory according to DCS, G-1 enlisted distribution policy. Model targets each UIC for fill according to DCS, G-1 enlisted distribution policy; therefore, units may be targeted at less than authorized. EDAS view capability (CM+4 through CM+12). Targets are produced monthly, or more frequently, if warranted. SHOW SLIDE: ENLISTED DISTRIBUTION TARGET MODEL (EDTM) OVERVIEW Learning Step / Activity 3. Define the basic principles of enlisted personnel distribution Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:36 Time of Instruction: 2 hr Media: Large Group Instruction SHOW SLIDE: ENLISTED DISTRIBUTION TARGET MODEL (EDTM) OVERVIEW NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 3-6. a. The Enlisted Distribution Target Model (EDTM) is a software program that creates enlisted distribution targets by MOS, grade, and unit identification code (UIC). The model fills each UIC reflected in the personnel manning authorization document (PMAD) with projected available inventory from the MOS Level System (MOSLS) according to DCS, G–1 distribution policy. b. The EDTM constrains the assignment process to coincide with the projected operating strength targets. It represents assets the Army realistically expects to be available for distribution. The model targets each UIC for fill according to the DCS, G–1 enlisted distribution policy. Therefore, the possibility exists (depending on the fill priority and projected inventory) for a unit to be targeted at less than authorized strength. c. By using the EDAS management information subsystem, field personnel managers may view the targets—grouped by Private (PV1) through Specialist (SPC), Sergeant (SGT) through MSG, and SGM– –for the current month plus four through 12 months (CM+4 through CM+12). d. The targets are produced monthly, or more frequently if changes to projected authorizations or operating strength warrant an update. NOTE: Explain to students that based on the contemporary operational environment the Army G-1 may frequently change the distribution policy so that higher priority units (deploying units, etc.) have priority of fill for available inventory. Explain that as BDE S-1s, it is important to know their unit's priority and be able to explain this to unit leadership. It is also imperative to understand Army Manning Guidance. AR , para. 3-6

Enlisted Distribution Target Model (EDTM)
The Target Model can also be used to simulate or explore: …alternative manning strategies, the impact of inventory changes, while accounting for the effects of Stabilizing Deployed Units. UNIT AUTHORIZATIONS PMAD + UAD + DMO + other “offline” inputs Monthly Distribution Targets MANNING GUIDANCE Army G-1 EDTM SHOW SLIDE: ENLISTED DISTRIBUTION TARGET MODEL TARGET (EDTM) e. How do we identify what a unit’s strength should actually be? While it sounds easy to compare a unit MTOE against the projected strength, and thus, calculating what personnel a unit should still be able to receive, the process is much more complicated. The inventory doesn’t exist to fill everyone to authorization; therefore, the Army G-1 creates an annual manning guidance document, as previously discussed in the PRM Overview. Targets ensure the equitable distribution of scarce resources (people) according to the manning guidance; however, it should be noted that units should expect to operate in an austere personnel environment with significant shortages across the force, complicated by continuous changes to operational requirements. f. When calculating monthly distribution targets, several factors have to be taken into consideration. First, we take the units’ authorizations, which are based off PMAD, UAD, and DMOs. Next, we look at what the Inventory Projections (APAS) should look like, and factor in the latest Army G-1 manning guidance. After all three factors are taken into consideration, the EDTM then calculates what the monthly targets for the Army will amount to. g. How do targets help achieve Army G-1 manning guidance? Targets for some MOS and grades are higher than authorizations to make up for the shortages of other MOS/grades. In order to achieve manning guidance published by the Army G-1, it is necessary to over target the healthy MOS. Likewise, if the manager of an unhealthy MOS fills to higher than target, there won’t be enough inventory to spread around – some unit will pay the price. A target represents the strength that a unit should have! The REAL challenge is determining what the unit’s strength will be!

(5) Provides interactive update capability to post information directly to the total Army personnel database (TAPDB) for authorized users, including field users, to delete or defer Soldiers. i. Installations primarily use eMILPO to update data on the TAPDB. The principal data bases used by EDAS are— (1) Total Army personnel data base (active enlisted) (TAPDB(AE)). (2) Requisition data base (REQDB). (3) Organizational data base (ORGDB). (4) Statistical data base (STATDB). j. Field users use EDAS to create requisitions and to read data that they are authorized—for example, information on Soldiers assigned to their commands and incoming personnel. NOTE: Inform the students that detailed instructions and specifics on the various data bases can be found in the EDAS Users Manual. AR , para. 3-5

Requisition Process Monthly process
Allocation limited to share of available inventory, as determined by the EDTM Allocated via EDAS at 4-character MOSC Requisitioning activities expand allocations to 9-character MOSC Lead times subject to change based on priorities Once approved, requisitions are released via EDAS to HRC Career Management Branches for nominations SHOW SLIDE : REQUISITION PROCESS NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 3-7. k. Monthly allocation of requisitions is limited to the command's share of available inventory, as determined by the EDTM (not authorizations/requirements). (1) Requisitions are allocated to the field via EDAS at the four-character MOSC level. HRC will accept SQI/ASI/LIC identifiers; however, they are often not required; as a BDE S-1, the requisition process must be closely managed. (2) Requisitioning activities then expand the allocations to the nine-character MOSC level, adding security requirements, other details, and special instructions (SI), if necessary, and transmit them to HRC by verifying requisitions in EDAS. If no requisitions are received from a particular requisitioning activity during the month, the assumption is that no requirement exists. (3) The lead time required in submitting personnel requisitions provides time for selecting and preparing Soldiers for movement. Actual lead times necessary for each ACOM/ASCC/DRU are established during the requisition allocation process or via direct communication between HRC and the supported command. Lead times are subject to change based on priorities; however, as shown in paragraph 3-6, the minimum lead time is CM+4 and the maximum lead time is CM+12. (4) Once approved, the requisitions are released via EDAS to the appropriate HRC Career Management Branch for nominations to fill the requisitions. AR , para 3-7

Requisition Validation Tool
New process/system to produce and validate requisitions. - Authorizations/priorities - Current strength - Known gains and losses The projected strength is compared to the DMSL’s target at MOS & grade level. If the projected strength is below the target, requisitions are built to increase the projected strength. Current Strength Gains Losses Open Requisitions Projected Strength Target SHOW SLIDE: REQUISITION VALIDATION TOOL l. It is important to understand that Brigade S-1's do not specifically build requisitions, but rather report shortages. It is imperative that Brigade S-1's know who their HRC account manager is and maintain communication with them to report shortages and understand strength projections. Additionally, by proficiently using EDAS, BDE S-1’s can view requisitions that are already built as well as what gains, including IETs, are projected. m. In an effort to help produce and validate requisitions as needed, the Army has adopted a new system. This system was designed to help maintain unit strength at the target range, but should not exceed it. This process can be completed when a unit takes its projected strength and compares the numbers to the DMSL target at MOS and grade level. The projected strength can then be calculated by adding all outstanding requisitions and projected gains to the units’ current strength and deducting all known projected losses. Should calculations fall below the target, it is the units’ responsibility to report shortages, and thus have requisitions built. Exactly how many and what types of requisitions to build are questions the Distribution Manager at HRC must answer using the Requisition Validation Tool. n. In the validation process, Career Branches review the proposed requisitions for their MOS/grade and determine how many Soldiers (the distributable population) are available to move during the desired time period. At that time, they recommend that requisitions be opened, “killed”, or “pushed.” After requisitions are validated by the Career Branches, they are opened to the Division and Installation Strength Managers for inclusion of ASI/SQIs, security clearances, male only positions, and Special Instructions, if applicable. Requisitions are then opened for all to see and fill. NOTE: Inform the students that the Distribution Division at HRC builds and fills requisitions for Initial Entry Training (IET) Soldiers by using an IET Distribution Tool. IET Soldiers are managed separately; the goal is to fill 80% of SL1 shortages with IET Soldiers. Only 20% of SL1 shortages will have requisitions.

Career Management Individual File (CMIF)
Maintained by Career Management Branches at HRC for grades SSG through SGM; may be maintained for SGT and below depending on MOS. Files are separate and distinct from the Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). HRC uses the CMIF to make career management decisions. It contains the following information: ERB and most recent copy of OMPF Copy of enlisted evaluations and academic reports Copy of relief for cause actions (DS, Recruiters, and Career Counselors) Copy of most recent assignment instructions Copy of pending applications, requests, and other personnel actions relating to individual personnel management and administration DA Photograph (SSG through SGM) SHOW SLIDE: CAREER MANAGEMENT INDIVIDUAL FILE (CMIF) NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 3-4. o. The career management branches maintain a Career Management Individual File (CMIF) IAW AR 600–8–104 for grades SSG through SGM. However, depending on the PMOS, files are also maintained for Sergeant and below. These files are separate and distinct from the Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) maintained at U. S. Army Soldier Record Data Center (USASRDC) at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. HRC uses the CMIF in making career management decisions and contains the following (list not all–inclusive): (1) ERB. (2) Copy of enlisted evaluations and academic reports. (3) Copy of relief for cause actions (DS, recruiters, and career counselors). (4) Copy of most recent AIs. (5) Copy of pending applications, requests, and other personnel actions relating to individual personnel management and administration. (6) Photograph (SSG through SGM). (7) Most recent copy of OMPF performance and service fiche. NOTE: Inform the students that the USASRDC furnishes copies of enlisted evaluation reports and annual performance fiches to the appropriate career management branch. The MPD/BCT/BDE S-1 forwards the other documents listed. 21

Assignment Instructions (AI)
EDAS cycles are transmitted on a weekly basis to the losing command’s BDE/BCT S-1 or MPD. Reassignment processing functions must be completed within 30 days of the EDAS cycle transmittal. Losing command actions are pivotal for timely verification of Soldier eligibility. Initiation of Deletion / Deferment requests. Reassignment Briefing/Orders issued. SHOW SLIDE: ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS (AI) NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 2-1. p. EDAS cycles are transmitted on a weekly basis to the losing command’s BDE/BCT S-1 or Military Personnel Division (MPD) who will complete the following enlisted reassignment processing functions within 30 calendar days of the EDAS cycle transmittal. The losing command plays a pivotal role at this point in ensuring that the Soldier is eligible for the assignment. The losing command must verify the assignment, since delays in reporting and errors in the databases may make the selected individual disqualified for the assignment. (1) Reassignment processing procedures consist of receipt of AI and initial screen of EDAS cycle, reassignment notification, request for personnel security investigation (PSI), briefings, interviews, and processing additional service remaining requirements (SRR). (2) Overseas requirements consist of managing assignment of overseas returnees and request for change of tour. (3) Deletion/deferment/early arrival function includes requests initiated by Soldiers on AI, HRC deletions and deferments, operational deletions/deferments initiated by local chain of command requests, and compassionate action requests. (4) Functional management of military service schooling instructions when in-conjunction with reassignment. Work center management includes reassignment involving temporary duty for the Noncommissioned Office Education System (NCOES), reclassification, ASI, Drill Sergeant and Army Recruiter programs, to preclude reassignment failures and loss of scheduled school seats. q. If the Soldier is qualified and the assignment is in keeping with announced DA policy, the process is finished when the Soldier receives a reassignment briefing and movement orders are issued. If the Soldier is not qualified and cannot qualify in time to meet the requirements, a deletion or deferment request must be submitted according to the reassignment eligibility rules of AR NOTE: Tell the students that AR , paragraph 2-5, describes procedures for processing assignment instructions and initial screening of the EDAS cycle.

Slide 25 describes the Personnel Readiness Management (PRM) processes of strength management and strength distribution directed by the CSA as part of the Modular Transformation HR IPT: Strength is managed from HRC direct to BDEs and BCTs. This slide describes the major roles and tasks which comprise this process. The critical players are the DMSL managers at HRC and the BDE S-1 section. The majority of assignments will be made direct from HRC to the BDE and all gains will be reflected in HR systems so the BDE S-1 can track future strength changes and initiate, finally, a responsive sponsorship program. Note that the Division G-1/Cdr are still involved in this process, but focus on by exception distribution management. The Division CG is directed with TRO for subordinate BDEs/BCTs and has an interest in BDE PRM. However, the current efficiencies of HR systems and directive Army Manning Guidance make BDE-direct distribution (for the largest majority of inbound Soldiers) viable. Division G-1s may make by exception distribution diversions, but are required to coordinate the same moves with HRC and the gaining/losing BDEs. HRC has developed detailed TTPs for this process to better prepare BDEs/BCTs and Divisions for this process. -AMG: ARMY MANNING GUIDANCE -PMAD: PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT AUTHORIZATION DOCUMENT -PRM: PERSONNEL READINESS MANAGEMENT -DMSL: DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT SUB-LEVEL -TRO: TRAINING AND READINESS OVERSIGHT X -REPORT SHORTAGES W/EMILPO, -DISTRIBUTE TO BNs/SEP COs -MANAGE DMSL UIC MAPPING -DATABASE ERROR RECONCILIATION -ENSURE G-1 BY EXCEPTION DISTRIBUTIONS REFLECTED IN EMILPO S-1 23

Key Take Aways (1 of 2) HRC assigns direct to BDE.
BDE S-1 manages strengths and assignments within the BDE. Assignments between divisional BDEs: Coordinated between BDE S-1, Division G-1, and HRC (Readiness Division for Enlisted Personnel). If all agree: BDE S-1s will complete eMILPO departure and arrival transactions. If there is a disagreement between BDEs: Division G-1 will work to resolve internally and coordinate final action with HRC. If there is a disagreement between units and HRC: The issue, with the field commander’s recommendation, will be worked through HRC channels. SHOW SLIDE: KEY TAKE AWAYS (1 of 2) s. As discussed, HRC assigns directly to BDE level. However, should an assignment need to be changed for readiness, professional, or personal reason, the procedures in the next two slides apply. t. One for one swaps (like grade, specialty, and ASI/SQI when applicable): These changes do not impact strength at the unit level and generally have no impact across the Army. However, S-1s will advise HRC of their intended actions and make appropriate inputs in eMILPO. Local orders coordination is required between BDEs and DIV G-1 and they will initiate action for documenting the change. u. One for none (not like grade, specialty, ASI/SQI): For example, an inbound Soldier, 11B4O, with an initial assignment to a BCT is being diverted to fill a position on the division staff as an Operations NCO. Changes like this impact strengths and require HRC coordination before execution. Based on specialty, density of MOS, and Army wide strength posture, certain assignment changes could have readiness implications beyond the BDE. BDE S-1s must coordinate these moves/changes with the division or higher headquarters G-1 and the appropriate account manager at HRC. BDE S-1s will complete the eMILPO departure and arrival transactions. These reassignments must be documented on local orders. MILPER Message Number:

Key Take Aways (2 of 2) Assignments between divisional and nondivisional BDEs: Coordinated between the BDE S-1, Division G-1, Corps G-1, and HRC. HRC will publish orders reassigning the Soldier(s). Units will ensure eMILPO transactions are completed. If there is a disagreement between units: Corps G-1 will work to resolve internally and coordinate final action with HRC. If there is a disagreement between units and HRC: The issue, with the field commander’s recommendation, will be worked through HRC channels. Soldier assignments between BDEs on the same installation in different ACOMs will be managed by HRC. SHOW SLIDE: KEY TAKE AWAYS (2 of 2) v. Intra post reassignments/diversions (movement between divisional and non divisional units or between DMSLs): For example: a 19D3O SSG in a divisional BCT completing his Platoon Sergeant assignment is being considered for reassignment to the local criminal investigation division (CID) office on the same installation to serve as their Operations NCO. These actions require involvement/coordination between gaining/losing unit S-1s and G-1s as appropriate. Once coordinated, HRC must be contacted and advised of the planned reassignment. Once finalized, HRC will publish the assignment instruction since this action moves Soldiers between DMSLs. BDE S-1s will complete eMILPO departure and arrival transactions. w. Reassignments between installations (movement between subordinate units in a DMSL on different installations): For example: a 96B5O 1SG assigned to a battalion on an installation not co-located with the BDE HQs has completed her first sergeant tour and is being considered for assignment to the MI BDE HQS staff. Inter-post reassignments or diversions generally constitute a PCS move and will require coordination between the S- 1s/G-1s, and HRC. Once finalized, HRC issues the assignment instructions. x. Specialty branches (AMEDD, JAG, and CHAPLAIN): Special branches personnel will be assigned based on existing procedures, due to the low density of these specialties at the BDE level. Any anticipated changes to assignments for soldiers in these MOS must be coordinated with HRC. NOTE: Inform the students that there are no changes to existing procedures regarding Sergeants Major assignments. MILPER Message Number:

Guidance from EPMD DMSL Managers
Identify real problems and report them in a clear manner. Understand the “total Army” picture. Be familiar with the Army Manning Guidance, Lifecycle Manning, Army Campaign Plan, and Deployment Cycles. Understand difficulties with Lifecycle Management. Communicate with your unit representatives. Learn and understand the capabilities of EDAS and COPS. Be familiar with the S-3 training calendar. Assist the S-3 or Brigade Commander by providing comments for the S-1 portion during USR. Be familiar with FORSCOM C2 EXORD/Concept. SHOW SLIDE: GUIDANCE FROM EPMD DMSL MANAGERS y. The most important thing is for the BDE S-1 to learn how to identify real problems and report them in a clear manner. To ensure the commander is properly informed, it is imperative that BDE/BCT S-1s understand the total Army picture. For example, if the BDE S-1 is calling about a skill level shortage, they should know what their total strength for that MOS is (with promotables). Learn what MOSs are substitutable for another. Research the total Army picture for the MOS being reported - HRC unit representative can assist. Communication and timing is critical. Keep HRC informed as far out as possible about deployment shortages...three months before deployment is too late. Becoming familiar with the Army Manning Guidance, Lifecycle Manning, Army Campaign Plan, and deployment cycles prior to a unit’s deployment will allow S-1 managers to be set up for success as S-1s understand what the underlying concepts of manning a unit prior to, during, or upon completion of a deployment. BDE S-1s must understand that Lifecycle Manning is very difficult to manage in its current environment. Units undergoing LM will not always have 100% of Soldiers meeting LM requirements and dates and length continually change. dd. Maintaining good communications with unit representatives will also assist in establishing a common operating picture for everyone involved from BN level to HRC. For example, ensuring effective communications with HRC will also ensure that the BDE S-1 is able to explain to BN S-1s why they should/should not report an MOS during USR or why they should/should not raise an issue to HRC. On the monthly USR, the BDE S-1 should play the key role in building the personnel comment. Too often the S-3 or Brigade Commander write the comment without S-1 input. Commenting that a unit has low density shortages, for example, is a waste of time. Allow the comment to be specific and accurate. Do not manipulate the numbers and ensure to verify with EDAS and FMS-Web that the unit is reporting the correct authorizations. z. Learn and understand EDAS and the COPS. Although COPS is a step up for the field in terms of being user friendly and strength data provided in a single system for officer and enlisted, the program still lacks some of the capabilities EDAS can provide. Therefore, S-1s should become familiar with EDAS in order to look at Valid, Open, Unfilled (VOU) requirements, IET plans, organization tables, and so forth. HRC recommends that S-1s contact their unit representative if they encounter any difficulties and are looking for assistance. 26

Define the Basic Principles of Enlisted Personnel Distribution Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:32 Time of Instruction: 50 mins Media: Large Group Instruction NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 3-2. a. Soldiers become available to be applied against requisitions for various reasons. Soldiers who enlist in the Army are available for assignments upon completion of training and award of an MOS. Except for CONUS requirements that will be filled with OCONUS returnees who are immediately available, the primary considerations in reassigning a Soldier shall be the Soldier’s current qualifications and ability to fill a valid requirement. Other factors such as availability, volunteer status, TOS, and other criteria shall be secondary. When Soldiers with the required qualifications are identified, then the other factors and criteria shall be considered. NOTE: Explain to students that in some assignments Soldiers are stabilized for specific periods. Give examples of stabilized assignments, such as Drill Sergeant duty, Recruiter, ROTC, etc. AR , para 3-2 28

Assignment Preferences
CONUS and OCONUS Areas of Preference are considered; however, assignments are made to fulfill Army requirements. Choose installations or geographic areas where PMOS, SQI, and ASI are required. Detailed Recruiter Assignment Preference Program (DRAPP) – Must submit three assignment preferences; two CONUS locations from a Divisional Installation listing and one CONUS location from a more expanded listing. Must complete their tour of duty as Detailed Recruiters. Preferences must be updated through the Assignment Satisfaction Key (ASK) no less than 18 months prior to projected release date from Detailed Recruiter duty. Drill Sergeant Assignment Preference Program (DSAPP) – Must submit three assignment preferences; in any combination of CONUS or OCONUS locations. Must complete their tour of duty as a Drill Sergeant. Preferences must be updated through the Assignment Satisfaction Key (ASK) no less than 18 months prior to projected duty release date from Drill Sergeant duty. SHOW SLIDE: ASSIGNMENT PREFERENCES NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 3-3. b. Soldiers’ CONUS area of preference (CONAP) and overseas area of preference (ORSAP) are considered in the assignment process; however, assignments are made to fulfill Army requirements. When selecting a preference, Soldiers should choose installations or geographic areas where their PMOS, SQIs, and ASIs are required. c. Detailed Recruiter Assignment Preference Program (DRAPP). Soldiers serving as detailed recruiters must submit three assignment preferences for consideration for their next duty assignment. Soldiers must successfully complete their tour of duty as detailed recruiters. Preferences must be updated through the Assignment Satisfaction Key (ASK), giving two CONUS locations from a Divisional installation listing and one CONUS location from a more expanded listing. If an overseas location is preferred, then Soldiers will enter that preference in the Volunteer Assignment section of ASK. Information should be updated no later than 18 months prior to projected release from detailed recruiter duty. d. Drill Sergeant Assignment Preference Program (DSAPP). Soldiers serving as drill sergeants must submit three assignment preferences, in any combination of CONUS or overseas locations, for consideration for their next duty assignment. Preferences must be submitted no less than 18 months prior to projected duty release date. Soldiers must successfully complete their tour of duty as DS. Preferences must be updated through ASK, using the Assignment Volunteer. If no volunteer selections have been posted to ASK, assignment managers will consider assignment preferences. If no preferences have been posted, Soldiers will be assigned according to the needs of the Army.

Some exceptions apply: Reassignment to OCONUS Reassignment of first-term Soldiers Reassignment for compassionate reasons To fill a higher-priority assignment (AEA) codes are used to identify Soldier’s eligibility and availability for reassignment AEA transactions are submitted through eMILPO Stabilization actions approved by HRC; HRC-processed AEA codes will have precedence over field processed AEA codes Currently there are 35 approved AEA codes SHOW SLIDE: ASSIGNMENT ELIGIBILITY AND AVAILABILITY (AEA) CODES NOTE: Refer students to AR , para. 3-8 and Table 3-1. g. With regard to the stabilization of tours, the minimum TOS requirement for Soldiers assigned in CONUS is 48 months. Exceptions to this requirement are as follows: (1) Reassignments to OCONUS. (2) Reassignments to a different duty station for training or educational purposes including Soldiers being reassigned to the Sergeants Major Academy and all other schools requiring a PCS. (3) Reassignments that are a direct result of major weapons system changes or unit conversions (for example, formation of a new unit manning system unit). Moves associated with replacing a Soldier selected to man a new weapons system or unit are not covered by this exception. (4) Reassignments to retrain Soldiers into new specialties in-conjunction with reenlistment. In these instances, a 12-month minimum TOS will apply. (5) Reassignments from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, (OJCS), or a joint defense agency where the tenure is limited by statute or other provisions to a shorter tour. (6) Reassignments for compassionate reasons. (7) Reassignments to a different duty station in preparation for a unit deployment. (8) Reassignments of first-term Soldiers. (9) Reassignments to keep married Army couples together. In these instances, a 24-month minimum TOS will apply.

For mutual convenience, Soldiers may request on a DA Form 4187 (Personnel Action), exchange assignments, often referred to as SWAP assignments (current duty only), with other Soldiers. Both Soldiers must agree and be of the same grade and MOS and be similarly qualified. Exchanges must be CONUS to CONUS or OCONUS within the same OCONUS command. The commanders of both Soldiers concerned must concur in the proposed exchange assignment and agree on the date of assignment. Soldiers must have served at least 12 months at current duty station and have at least 12 months time remaining in service upon arrival at the gaining installation. l. Soldiers will pay all costs incurred in relocation, and all travel time will be charged as ordinary leave. Eligibility for foreign service does not change, and no stabilization period is authorized for either Soldier. Soldiers in receipt of AIs, or in a deployed status, are not eligible. If a married Army couple currently occupying a common household is separated because one Soldier is granted an exchange assignment, the other Soldier may not apply for reassignment to the same installation to reestablish a joint residence.

Soldier may waive entitlement to the assignment limitation; if waived, may request reinstatement of the status at any time. SHOW SLIDE: SOLE SURVIVING SON/DAUGHTER NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 5-12. m. A sole surviving son or daughter is the only remaining son or daughter in a family where the father, or mother (or one or more sons or daughters), served in the Armed Forces of the United States and because of hazards with such military service - (1) Was killed. (2) Died as a result of wounds, accident, or disease. (3) Is in a captured or MIA status. (4) Is permanently 100-percent physically disabled (including 100-percent mental disability), as determined by the Veterans Administration or one of the military Services. n. The continued existence of a family unit (any other living family member) is not a requirement to gain or retain sole surviving son and/or daughter status. This also applies to the existence of a sole surviving son or daughter having one or more brothers or sisters. o. Sole surviving sons or daughters, upon request for non-combat duty by the Soldier or the Soldier's immediate family, may not be assigned to duty normally involving actual combat or where they may be subjected to hostile fire. Soldiers may waive the entitlement to the assignment limitation, whether entitlement is based upon the Soldier's own application or the request of the Soldier's immediate family. Soldiers who waive the entitlement may request reinstatement of the status at any time. AR , para 5-12

Compassionate Actions
Requests from Soldiers when personal problems exist. Temporary family problems can be resolved in one year; extreme family problems cannot be resolved in a year. Can be reassigned, deleted or deferred from AI, or attached as a result of an approved compassionate. Medical problems of a Family member require signed statement from attending physician. Legal problems must include signed statement from a licensed attorney. Requests based upon other than medical or legal require supporting statements from responsible persons (clergy, social workers, etc). Soldiers are not authorized to submit more than one request for reconsideration for the same or similar extreme family problem. SHOW SLIDE: COMPASSIONATE ACTIONS NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 5-14 through 5-19. p. Compassionate actions are requests from individual Soldiers when personal problems exist. The two types of compassionate requests are when personal problems are: (1) Temporary (resolvable within a year). (2) Not expected to be resolved within a year. q. Soldiers may be reassigned, deleted, or deferred from AIs, or attached as a result of an approved compassionate request. Soldiers requesting reassignment may be assigned to an area other than their requested geographical preference based on availability of medical services and the needs of the Army.

Married Army Couples Program
(MACP) Joint assignment to establish common household (Joint Domicile (JD)). Enrollment into MACP guarantees JD assignment consideration; does not guarantee that the couple will be assigned together. Consideration is continuous as long as the couple remains enrolled. Assignments may be within 50-mile radius or one hour driving time of each other. SHOW SLIDE: MARRIED ARMY COUPLES PROGRAM (MACP) NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 5-20 through Inform students that para 5-25 discusses disenrollment procedures from the MACP. NOTE: Inform the students that the provisions of the MACP apply to RA Soldiers married to members of the RA, other U.S military services, or Reserve Components. Soldiers married to civilians are not included. r. Married Army couples desiring joint assignment to establish a common household (joint domicile (JD)) must request such assignment by enrolling in the MACP. Application for enrollment must be submitted not later than 30 days from the date of marriage. Marriage must be valid per AR Action based on intended marriage will not be considered even as an exception to policy. Married Army couples that do not enroll in the MACP indicate that JD assignments are not desired; therefore, this is not a basis to request deletion from an assignment. The following criteria apply to the MACP: (1) Enrollment guarantees JD assignment considerations; however, it does not guarantee that the couple will be assigned together at the same location and/or at the same time. (2) Consideration is continuous as long as the couple remains enrolled in the program. (3) The guideline for a JD is assignments that are close enough for Soldiers to establish a common household (50-mile radius or one-hour driving time of each other). Married Soldiers will not be assigned so that they will be in their spouse’s rating chain. AR , paras 5-20 thru 5-22 and 5-25

Permissive Assignments
Another means to establish joint domicile CONUS to CONUS/OCONUS to OCONUS (long tour and in the same theater) Valid requirement must exist at gaining location for Soldier’s grade and MOS Served 12 but less than 24 months on station; cannot be waived A no cost move to government; travel time is charged as ordinary leave Must have at least 12 months service remaining SHOW SLIDE: PERMISSIVE ASSIGNMENTS NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 5-24. s. A permissive assignment (at no cost to the government) CONUS to CONUS or intra- theater OCONUS areas is another means for a married Army couple to establish JD; only one Soldier needs to apply. Area moves that are CONUS to OCONUS, OCONUS to CONUS, inter-theater, and short tour OCONUS under permissive conditions are not authorized. An application for permissive assignment will include a statement that the application, if approved, is subject to the following rules: (1) Soldiers must have at least 12 months but less than 24 months at current station, which cannot be waived. (2) A valid requirement must exist for the Soldier’s grade and MOS at the gaining location. (3) Soldiers must have, or acquire, sufficient service to complete at least 12 months of service at the gaining location. (4) Soldiers will pay all expenses related to the move, including transportation of family members and shipment of household goods, since it is no cost to the government. (5) Travel time in-conjunction with the move is charged as ordinary leave. AR , para 5-24

Stabilization for Soldiers with High School Seniors
Intent of program is to provide stability for family members in their junior and senior years of high school. Provisions of this program apply to RA Soldiers only. Requests must be submitted no earlier than March of the student’s sophomore year and not later than the start of the student’s junior school year. HRC is approval/disapproval authority. SHOW SLIDE: STABILIZATION FOR SOLDIERS WITH HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS NOTE: Refer students to AR , para 5-26 and 5-27. t. Soldiers with family members in high school may request stabilization from PCS movement during the child’s senior year. The intent of the program is to provide stability to Soldiers with family members in their junior and senior years of high school. The provisions of this section apply to RA Soldiers only. Army National Guard and Army Reserve Soldiers should contact their servicing personnel office for guidance. RA Soldiers assigned to non-Army agencies or units must comply with all directives and regulations that apply to their command before submitting their request (for example, Soldiers assigned to the Defense Courier Service (DCS) must comply with DOD Directive ). u. Requests should be submitted no earlier than March of the student’s sophomore year, and not later than the commencement of the student’s junior school year (for example, student’s projected graduation date is Jun 2008; submit request between March – September 2006). Requests submitted outside of this timeframe will be considered as an exception to policy and must be justified as to the delay of submission. Soldiers may be eligible to PCS before the start of the student’s junior year of high school. v. HRC (Director, EPMD) is the approval/disapproval authority. All requests will be submitted to HRC for consideration, regardless of chain of command recommendation. Soldier will request stabilization using a DA Form 4187 or memorandum. The request will be submitted through the chain of command to the ACOM/ASCC/DRU level, for a recommendation prior to forwarding to HRC-Alexandria (AHRC-EPO-P) for consideration. NOTE: Inform the students that Soldiers enrolled in the MACP must both apply if both desire stabilization under these provisions. Additionally, stabilization under these provisions may be changed or canceled due to the changing needs of the Army. AR , paras 5-26 and 5-27
