CATEGORY: Manpower and Personnel

ISSUE ITEM :

SUBJECT: Reserve Augmentation

BACKGROUND: Better identification of ARC skills prior to
call-up is essential. Unit manning documents identified
flight surgeons, general surgeons, and general duty nurses.
Upon activation we found the personnel assigned these
"generic" AFSCs were actually orthopedic surgeons,
anesthesiologists, operating room nurses, and other critical
wartime specialities.

DISCUSSION: Late identification of personnel skills resulted
in moving some ARC members twice after activation. This
caused personal frustration and wasted days of productivity.
We could have returned to normal operations much more quickly
had we known the true skills of the individuals we were
calling up.

ACTION RECOMMENDED: Unit manning documents available to the
MAJCOMs need to reflected the individuals true skill.
Primary, secondary, and tertiary AFSC fields could be
established and utilized for this purpose.

SUGGESTED OPR: HQ NGB, HQ AFRES, HQ USAF/SGHR
