1. (U) GENERAL GUIDANCE

1. (U) Purpose. To provide information on provisions of manpower and personnel service support in the event of a contingency or an OPLAN execution with or without a level of mobilization.
   
   
2. (U) General. The DA DCSPER has primary responsibility to provide manpower and personnel service support to meet the needs of the Army in support of military operations in a contingency or OPLAN execution. He is assisted by the personnel service support structure at all organizational levels. The Secretary of the Army delegates various authorities to execute the mission.
   
   
3. (U) Applicability. This annex applies to all elements of the U. S. Army: Active Army: United States Army Reserve(USAR); Army National Guard (ARNG); Troop Program Units (TPUs); Individual Ready Reserve (IRR): Active Guard/ Reserve (AGR): Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMA); retirees of all components, whether or not in receipt of retired pay; and all appropriated and nonappropriated fund civilian employees. Selected portions of this annex also apply to deployed civilian contractor personnel supporting Army missions, deployed civilian employees from other departments, and deployed American Red Cross employees.
   
   
4. (C) Concept of Personnel Support.
   
   
   1. (U) The Army provides combat, combat support, and combat service support forces to the CINCs. It mans, organizes, trains, and sustains force. Policy making authority resides at DA and policy execution is the responsibility of the Army component commanders of the unified and specified commands and the commanders of the MACCMs.
      
      
   2. (U) The unified or specified CINC, assisted by the theater Army component commander, develops concept plans (CONPLANS) and CPLANS to meet contingences identified in the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan (JSCP) These identified contingencies allow planning for selection and utilization of resources needed to achieve the objectives in the JSCP.
      
      
   3. (U) For contingencies not anticipated in the JSCP, planners and operations develop a new OPLAN or modify an existing OPLAN or CONPLAN to meet the requirements of the contingency. While this scenario is sometimes referred to as a NOPLAN situation, in reality there will be an OPLAN to be supported.
      
      
   4. (U) The theater Army component commander, determines force requirements. The Joint Chiefs of Staff and FERSCOM identify units to meet requirements. Forscom provides DA DCSCPS a list of required RC units to support the CINCs operational concept and CONCS sustaining base requirements. This force list includes major combat arms forces and sufficient combat support and combat support units to accomplish the mission
      
      
   5. (U) Once the force list has been developed, the DA DCSPER will;
      
      
      1. (U) Assure that personnel service support is in place or identified for deployment to support the theater Army component commander and the CINC's operational concept.
         
         
      2. (U) Review priorities for the time phased arrival of personnel service support units and nonunit related personnel to provide the required personnel support, filler, and replacement personnel.
         
         
      3. (U) Announce guidance for the movement of personnel in either a permanent change of station (PCS) or temporary change of station (TCS) status. (See Appendices 1 and 2 to this annex).
      
      
      
   6. (U) To meet individual personnel requirements for military operations executed at less than Presidential Selected Reserve Call-up (PSRC) authority, personnel from the active Army, retiree recall or volunteers from other retired members, volunteers from the IRR, volunteers from IMA program and volunteers from Reserve Component. (RC). TPUs , will be used and in that order. TPU members are the last resource pool to be used and in order to reduce turbulence and disruption to unit integrity and readiness, unless the TPU member is volunteering for a mission normally performed by that unit, i.e., transportation terminal brigades operating at a strategic seaport. Table 1, Appendix 2 page E-2-3, this annex lists the source of individual manpower and Title 10 authorities for military operations without involuntary call-up of RC forces. Tables 2-5, page E-2-4 through E-2-10 lists sources of individual manpower for military operations with mobilization authorities.
   
   
   
5. (U) Assumptions
   1. (U) A graduated mobilization response (GMR) will be utilized in national security emergencies to meet national security objectives.
      
      
   2. (U) The Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) will provide the Army a manpower calling of appropriate force packages, to include forces for various mobilization scenarios, when approved by the National Command Authority (NCA). The manpower ceiling will be provided in sufficient time to adequately plan and implement all personnel related actions.
   
   
   
6. (U) Planning Factors.
   
   
   1. (U) Personnel requirements are derived from operational requirements established by the supported combatant commander (s) and approved by the NCA. No OPLAN can be independently executed by the authority of the SPCDEF or his subordinates; however, once Presidential and NCA authorizations for OPLAN execution are received, personnel requirements may be met through graduated mobilization response (GMR) options. (See tables 1 through 5 in appendix 2, this annex.) Condition authorities for the use of RC Forces and the personnel available for each situation are listed below.
      1. (U) OPLAN EXECUTED NOT INVOLVING INVOLUNTARY ORDER TO ACTIVE DUTY OR RESERVE COMPONENT MEMBERS: Active Army only; or active Army, selected retired reserve members recalled voluntarily (10 USC 12301) or voluntary/involuntary recall of retirees who have completed 20 years of active military service or those retirees with 15 years or more years active federal service who retired under the Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA) (10 USC 688 (a), selected volunteer members of the Reserve Components (10 USC 12301) and civilian hire within current operating budgets. No specific authorization is required, except that end strengths cannot be executed without authority, and additional funding may be required.
         
         
      2. (U) PRESIDENTAL SELECTED RESERVE CALL-UPS: All elements specified in para 1f (1) (a) above and additional involuntary augmentation from the Selected Reserve (USAR IPUs, IMAs and ARNG units) may be called under PSRC authority (10 USC 12304 for a period not to exceed 270 days.
         
         
      3. (U) PARTIAL MOBILIZATION; All elements available in para 1f (1) (b) and Selected Reserve (USAR and ARNC) units or individuals not assigned to units, and the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), voluntary or involuntary, requires Presidential (10 Usc 12303 (a)] or Congressional (10 USC 12301 (a)] declaration of national emergency with partial mobilization authority. Units and soldiers may be ordered to active duty for up to 24 months. Authority for the overhire of civilians may be granted.
         
         
      4. (U) FULL MOBILIZATION; All elements specified in para 1f(c) above, and the balance of the RC and retired members, require a Congressional declaration of national emergency with full mobilization authority (10 USC 12301). Individuals and units may be ordered to active duty for the duration of the emergency plus 6 months. Emergency hire authorities for civilians will be authorized.
         
         
      5. (U) TOTAL MOBILIZATION: All elements specified in para 1f (1) (d) above and additional manpower obtained from the civilian community to fill vacancies created by the expansion of the previously structure to one which meets wartime requirements. Congress must grant the President Special Authority to mobilize all additional resources required, including the civilian industrial base (10 USC 12301).
      
      
      
   2. (U) Independent of any particular level of mobilization, Congress may specifically authorize resumption of conscription to provide the required manpower for the armed services. It is no anticipated that the SECDEF will initiate a request for conscription under less than full mobilization conditions.
      
      
   3. (U) Normal acquisition programs for officer, warrant officer, and enlisted personnel remain in effect. Should the need arise as a result of unforeseen losses based on approved force expansion, DA DCSPER (CAPE-MP) will increase Personnel acquisition targets and coordinate with DA DCSCPS (DAMO-TR) and TRADOC (ATIG) to expand training capability to support the increased requirements.
      
      
   4. (U) The active Army may also be expanded through a selective mobilization authorized by the President or Congress. Such a decision is normally reserved to respond to domestic riots or national disasters occurring within the territorial limits of the United States and its territories. Authority for selective mobilization is contained in 10 USC 331, and 333. This authority is normally executed for the purpose of protecting life, federal property and functions, or preventing disruption of federal activities. It is not discussed here because this annex addresses only these authorities required to respond to threats from hostile force outside the Continental United States. (CONUS).
      
      
   5. (U) The SECDEF will apportion to the Army part of the approved force package for the military option. DA DCSOPS establishes the priorities for Army resource allocation through development and maintenance of the Department of Army Master Priority list (DAMPL) and publication of the AMPOES. This prioritization includes earmarking units for deployment, establishing their authorized level of peacetime fill (authorized level of organization (ALO) Vs total requirements), designating the mobilization ALO for mobilizing RC units, determining minimum acceptable deployment ALO levels, and providing minimum acceptable level of fill (MSLOF) for commands and organizations worldwide. DA DCSPER is responsible for executing the Army priorities through Implementation of individual personnel distribution and personnel mobilization policies.
      
      
   6. (U) Specific planning factors or adjustments to this plan will be disseminated an required by changing operational concepts or by the threat environment.

   2. (U) TTHS: These soldiers are managed by PERSCOM and will be assigned as they become available to meet individual filler, casualty replacement requirements, and other needs of the Army.
      
      
   3. (U) DEP Enlistees: Persons who enlist in the Ready Reserve under 10 USC 12103, reference (b), for the express purpose of agreeing to a subsequent enlistment in an active component of the military service are in the DEP. DEP members who fail to enlist in a regular component of the armed forces may be ordered to involuntary initial active duty for training (IADT) and complete the remainder of their military service obligation in a reserve component. DEP enlistees are pending a reporting date for entry on AD in the active Army with immediate movement to IADT. Persons who are a least 17 years and six months of age and are enrolled in high school may be ordered to AD on order of DA DESPER.
      
      
   4. (U) Selected Reserve units and individuals (AGR and IMA soldiers) are eligible for involuntary order AD incident to a PSRC or any level of mobilization. Projected show rate is 95%.
      1. (U) Members of RC units are members of the Selected Reserve. RC units are organized to fill specific mission requirements. These units are immediately available for mobilization. Call-up totals must be within approved strength ceilings.
         
         
      2. (U) Members of RC units may volunteer for AD for contingency not requiring the involuntary call-up of RC units . Those who volunteer must obtain approval through their unit of assignment. Once approved by the member's unit commander, the volunteers request will be forwarded through the State Area Reserve Command (STARC) or the appropriate Regional Support Command (RSC) to CDR ARPERCEN. During contingency operations, ARPERCEN will maintain a list of unit volunteers to be voluntarily ordered to AD to meet identified needs. Priorities for use of these soldiers are shown in table 1 and 2 appendix 2, pages E-2-4 through E-2-7, this annex. Unit members Recommended by ARPERCEN are selected by PERSCOM (TAPC-OPP-A) for AD as volunteers will be certified by their unit commander as skill qualified in the proposed AD skill. When authorized by DA, they will be ordered to AC by PERSCOM (TAPC-OPD-RT) as interim backfill for AC units using the temporary tour of active duty (TTAD) authority AR 135-210. The use of USAR and ARNG unit members, brought on AD under TTAD program, should not exceed the 139-day tour authorized under AR 135-210. Once these volunteers are ordered to AD, they will not be available to their unit should it be called-up under PSRC authority. Upon receipt of partial mobilization authority, any USAR and ARNG unit members still serving on TTAD in support of contingency operations should either be immediately released from Ad returned to their unit of assignment; or, if retained on TTAD, USAR soldiers will be permanently reassigned from their unit to the IRR, ARNG members must be reassigned from the National Guard unit to the STARC HQs of home state.
         
         
      3. (U) SMP soldiers are assigned to RC units and are also enrolled in ROTC. SMP participants in Advanced ROTC will not be ordered to AD with their units. USAR unit members will be transformed to the USAR Control Group. (ROTC) to complete training and will be eligible for orders to AD with other ROTC members. ARNG unit members will be transferred to the STARC (or other non-mobilizing unit) to complete training.
         
         
      4. (U) AGR. AGR soldiers are members of the Selected Reserve on AD in support of the RC. AGR soldiers assigned to units will normally mobilize and deploy with their unit.
         
         
      5. (U) IMA. IMA soldiers are Selected Reserve soldiers who are immediately available for mobilization with the organization to which they are assigned upon execution of a PSRC for any higher level of mobilization, subject to strength ceilings in effect.
         1. (U) Organizations must request approval through their MACOM, or their theater Army component commander, to DA DCSCPS (DAMO)-ODM) for the number of IMA soldiers to be ordered to Ad within the force packages of execution of a PSRC or partial mobilization. Upon receipt of authorization, organizations must identify to ARPERCEN (ARPC MOI) the specific IMA soldier(s) to be activated and reporting instructions for production of orders. ARPERCEN will only produce orders to move the soldier(s) to their duty station. Upon full mobilization for total mobilization, if not preceded by full mobilization all IMAs will be ordered to AD.
            
            
         2. (U) IMAs who volunteer for AD for contingency operations not requiring the involuntary call-up at RC units must obtain a release from their organization of assignment. Once a release is obtained, the volunteer's request will be forwarded to ARPERCEN (ARPC-MOP) where a current list of volunteers is maintained during contingency operations. Priorities for use of these personnel is shown in table 1, appendix 2, pages E-2-3 and E-2-4, this annex. IMAs selected by ARPERCEN for AD as volunteers will be certified by their unit commander as skill qualified. When authorized by DA, they will be ordered to AD by PERSCOM as augmentation to AC units using the TTAD authority in AR 135-210. Tours of duty should not exceed the 139-day tour authorized under 135-210: extension is an exception. IMAs ordered to AD with other than their assigned organization whose TTAD tour extends into a PSRC will not be available to their former unit. Upon receipt of partial mobilization authority, any IMA serving on IIAD will either be immediately released from Ad and returned to normal IMA status or have the TTAD order terminated and be ordered to AD under the authority of 10 USC 12302.
      
      
      
   5. (U)IRR soldiers are a source of pretrained manpower. All qualified IRR soldiers are immediately available for AD upon declaration of a partial mobilization or higher level of mobilization. IRR soldiers ordered to AD under these mobilization authorities will be directed to a training installation for skill certification, verification, or refresher training by TRADOC and further assignment by CDR PERSCOM.
      1. (U) IRRs may volunteer for AD to meet the needs of the Army for contingency operations that do not include the authority to involuntarily order members of the IRR to AD . IRR volunteers may be used as backfill or to meet increased augmentation requirements in active Army units. IRRs selected for AD as volunteers will be screened by ARPERCEN and certified through official records as skill qualified. IRR soldiers who are not qualified for a MOS will not be accepted as volunteers for AD. During contingency operations ARPERCEN will maintain a list of IRR volunteers to be ordered to AD to meet identified needs. Under conditions short or a declaration of a partial mobilization and upon direction of DA, accepted volunteers will be ordered to AD using TTAD authority in AR 135-210. Skill qualification of IRRs ordered to AD under TTAD must be confirmed by the gaining unit. Tours of duty should not exceed the 139-day tour prescribed in AR 135-210, with extension an exception. Upon receipt of partial mobilization authority, IRR soldiers serving on TTAD in support of contingency operations will be terminated from TTAD status and ordered to AD under the authority of 10 USC 12303.
         
         
      2. (U) Through MCBPERS, when authorized by DA DCSPER, ARPERCEN may use the following options to assign qualified IRR personnel:
         1. (U) To designated training installations for validation of training status, individual refresher training, or reclassification training and subsequent assignment by CDR PERSCOM based on the needs of the Army.
            
            
         2. (U) To any mobilization station to fill specific requirements in active Army or mobilizing RC units.
         
         
         
      3. (U) CCR ARPERCEN will establish and manage a delay and exemption process for IRR soldiers.
         
         
      4. (U) CDR ARPERCEN, IAW regulatory guidance, will establish procedures to identify and report to the United States Army Deserter Information Point (USADIP) any IRR soldier who fails to report when notified.
         
         
      5. (U) IRR members who are not qualified for a MOS will not be accepted as volunteers for Ad. On direction of the DCSPER, they may be ordered to the nearest Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) for training and evaluation. If found qualified for entry into training, they will be given a training reservation by the Army Guidance Counselor at the KEPS and transported to training TAW their scheduled report date. Those found not eligible for entry into training will be reported to CDR ARPERCEN for appropriate discharge action.
         
         
      6. (U) OCONUS IRR soldiers. IRR soldiers who live in the area of responsibility of CDR USAREUR or CDR USARPAC, are preassigned by ARPERCEN to the area command replacement detachment. The appropriate overseas commander will order them to AD upon direction of the DCSPER. Other IRR soldiers living outside COCUS and not preassigned to a unit will be ordered to AD by ARPERCEN.
      
      
      
   6. (U) Inactive National Guard (ING) soldiers are inactive members of National Guard units and are not in the Selected Reserve. ING soldiers will not be called up with their unit of assignment on declaration of a PSRG. ING soldiers will mobilize with their units on declaration of a partial mobilization or higher level of mobilization.
      
      
   7. (U) Standby reservists, less volunteers for AD, will be mobilized by ARPERCEN after the Secretary of the Army (SA) determines IAW 10 USC 12306 that available skills in the Ready Reserve have been exhausted. Assignment, reclassification, and training policies are the same as for members of the IRR.
      
      
   8. (U) Army retired members.
      1. (U) Army retired members who have completed 20 years of active military service or TERA retirees are subject to voluntary or involuntary recall to AD for peacetime contingency operations through full mobilization whenever the SA determines the need exists (10 USC 688). Retired members are a source of trained manpower and are available for military assignments and deployment (subject to physical or other restrictions dictated by the DCSPER). Planners should use as many retired members as necessary to meet national security needs. Retirees recalled to AD prior to full mobilization will be issued orders by ARPERCEN, which will supersede any preassignment orders. These new orders will provide a specific reporting date and location.
         
         
      2. (U) Army retired members who have not completed 20 years of active military service, other than TERA may only be involuntarily ordered to AD in the event of a full mobilization and only when all other elements of the pretrained manpower pools have been exhausted (10 USC 12307 and 10 USC 12301). Utilization rules are for Category II and III retirees. They may volunteer for AD (10 USC 12301) in the same manner as retired members who have completed 20 years at active military service.
         
         
      3. (U) Retired members may be used for reasons not limited to:
         1. (U) Fill shortages or augment deployed and deploying units.
            
            
         2. (U) Fill shortages or augment supporting units and activities in CONUS, Alaska, or Hawaii (to include family assistance centers).
            
            
         3. (U) Release active Army soldiers for deployment overseas.
            
            
         4. (U) Fill federal civilian work force shortages in the DOD, U. S. Coast Guard, or other government entity.
            
            
         5. (U) Meet national security needs on defense related missions in organizations outside the federal government.
         
         
         
      4. (U) ARPERCEN maintains a retired member asset database. These retired soldiers will be matched against validated CONUS installation requirements. The requirements are extracted from The Army Authorization Documents System (TAADS). Recall orders will be issued at the time of need via Mailgram. Retirees living in select OCONUS locations will be preassigned to the respective theater replacement center without respect to specified personnel requirements.
         1. (U) Installation commanders, or other activities responsible for development of TDA/MOBTDAs, must identify retiree fill requirements by position IAW AR 310-49, Appendix b.
            
            
         2. (U) Retiree assignments will be made as follows:
            1. (U) Category I retirees may be used to meet all assignments stated in paragraph 2 c (a) of this annex.
               
               
            2. (U) Category II and III retirees will normally only be used to meet those assignments stated in paragraph 2 (8)(c) (2 through 4) of this annex. DCSPFR may designate selected category II retirees for assignments to meet paragraph 2c (8) (c) 1 of this annex.
         
         
         
      5. (U) Planning for the assignment , use and support of recalled retirees is the responsibility of each potential receiving activity. Detailed planning by installation mobilization planners will address retiree accession, assignment, administrative in-processing, medical examination, support (billiting,mess, clothing issue, etc.), dependent related activities, and other appropriate matters.
         
         
      6. (U) Requests for recall (voluntary or involuntary) of retirees for an operation or a mobilization less than full mobilization will be forwarded through MACCM channels to DCSPER (DAPE-PRO) for appropriate action.
