File: 970207_aadcl_006.txtcalled to active duty or other special needs that needed more time to work out. RECOMMENDATION: The Push-Pull Mobilization System policy and procedures need to be changed to allow individuals at least a two week notification prior to having to report for PIM processing. 12. OBSERVATION: After Reserve, Guard, IMA, and PIM personnel were mobilized to their initial duty location, MAJCOMs relocated them within their own command or to another command. These relocations were accomplished either by amending EAD or PCS orders issued by another agency, or placing them on TDY orders using their funds. These relocations were done to accommodate members personal needs or to realign specialties to meet requirements. DISCUSSION: During Push-Pull Mobilization, AFMPC received numerous phone calls from CBPOs concerning the reassignment of these personnel and how do they access them to their personnel files. Commands called wanting to swap IRRs with IMAs or ANG or Reserve personnel. The OPRs and procedures for relocating mobilized personnel was not clearly defined and some MAJCOMs asked questions after they had already accomplished their crossleveling or swaps. When CBPOs had questions concerning these type of problems, guidance was not available. The appropriate agencies were coordinated with prior to movement of mobilized personnel. The only agency that can send a member in PCS status is AFMPC. Many overages occurred at MTFs because a Reserve, Guard, IMA or IRR reported to fill a requirement already filled from one of those sources. It seemed the total force was integrated prior to requirements being generated for PIM personnel. RECOMMENDATION: There needs to be a better system/method developed to insure that all mobilized categories are integrated and allocated to fill backfill requirements prior to their final assignment. It does not make fiscal sense to spend money to send a member to fill a identified requirement and then spend additional funds to relocate the member within days of their arrival. Likewise, if we are going to swap or relocate members to get them closer to home, then make that a consideration prior to their initial assignment rather than afterwards. Procedures need to be established to accommodate those relocations that cannot be helped. There should be involvement by ARPC, AFRES, NGB and AFMPC depending on which category reservist is involved (under the current mobilization guidance). In a nutshell, if the personnel community is to be held accountable for providing service to those mobilized personnel, we must be notified of personnel movements prior to their completion. Policy guidance should be provided to all CBPOs and agencies involved on the processing of ANG, Reserve, IMA and PIM personnel. NOTE: It would make it a lot easier if all mobilized categories were treated the same rather than each having their own procedures. 13. OBSERVATION: The personnel data system was not responsive enough for short notice assignment processing of PIM personnel.
