          POC:                               [(b)(2)]

          TITLE: Demobilization-Incorrect Status in System
         
          OBSERVATION: Many demobilized members still retain a
          record status "74" on the PDS, indicating active duty
          status. Others are in a correct record status, but in the
          wrong PAS code and Reserve section. For example, the
          member was returned to a non-participating Reserve status
          instead of to the SG active IMA Reserve program.
         
          DISCUSSION: Extended time involved for return from
          mobilization to correct status at HQ ARPC causes problems
          in several areas. Requests for orders (IDT, AT, RPA)
          cannot be processed since the system indicates the member
          is on active duty. Promotion eligibility, especially for
          unit vacancy, becomes incredibly difficult as each
          potential member's actual status must be verified by manual
          inquiry. Normally simple tasks, such as generating addres~s
          labels for newsletters, become extremely labor intensive
          due to incorrect system status.
         
          LESSONS LEARNED: The system must reflect a correct status
          for demobilized members in a timely manner.
         
          RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Implement system change(s) which,
          upon demobilization, will recapture members on a "real
          time" basis and in the correct status. Provide all
          concerned directorates with a daily status update on their
          members.
