RMKS/1. PER REF A, STARTING 1 NOVEMBER 2010, THE OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY
OPERATIONS (OCO) SUPPORT ASSIGNMENT (OSA) PROGRAM WILL REPLACE THE GSA
DETAILING PROCESS FOR ENLISTED SAILORS. THE OFFICER GSA PROCESS WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK IN PARALLEL WITH THE INDIVIDUAL AUGMENTATION MANPOWER
MANAGEMENT (IAMM) PROCESS TO MEET ACTIVE COMPONENT (AC) OFFICER IA
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THIS NAVADMIN UPDATES OFFICER
GSA BUSINESS RULES AND SUPERCEDES REFS B AND C.
2. GSA BUSINESS RULES: GSA DETAILING NORMALIZES THE IA ASSIGNMENT
PROCESS BY USING THE EXISTING DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM TO FILL AC IA
REQUIREMENTS. UNLIKE THE IAMM ASSIGNMENT PROCESS, GSA DETAILING
PROVIDES OFFICERS THE OPTION OF FILLING IA ASSIGNMENTS IN A PREDICTABLE
WINDOW AT THEIR REGULAR PROJECTED ROTATION DATE (PRD).
A. GSA ORDERS:
(1) ONCE IDENTIFIED FOR A GSA, OFFICERS WILL RECEIVE PERMANENT
CHANGE OF STATION (PCS) ORDERS TO EXPEDITIONARY COMBAT READINESS CENTER
FORWARD (ECRC) SAN DIEGO, CA, OR NORFOLK, VA. ALL ECRC FWD UICS ARE
DESIGNATED TAC C/TYPE TWO SEA DUTY. GSA TOUR LENGTHS VARY, BUT THE
STANDARD PCS DURATION FOR A GSA IS BETWEEN SIX AND 14 MONTHS.
(2) CONCURRENTLY, OFFICERS WILL RECEIVE TDY ORDERS FROM
COMNAVPERSCOM (PERS-4G3) DETACHING THEM FROM ECRC FWD FOR TRAINING,
TRANSPORTATION AND DEPLOYMENT (OCONUS) IN A TEMPORARY DUTY (TEMADD)
STATUS FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THEIR PCS ASSIGNMENT. OFFICERS CAN
VIEW TEMADD ORDERS ON BUPERS ONLINE (BOL):
(A) LOG ONTO BUPERS ONLINE AT HTTPS://BOL.NAVY.MIL/;
(B) SELECT THE "NMCMPS" LINK OR "VIEW IA ORDERS" LINK; AND
(C) CLICK "VIEW MY ORDERS" IN UPPER MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN.
B. GSA PRE-SCREENING REQUIREMENTS. ALL GSA SAILORS REQUIRER
MEDICAL, DENTAL, AND PERSONNEL SUITABILITY SCREENING PER THE
EXPEDITIONARY SCREENING CHECKLIST POSTED ON HTTP://WWW.IA.NAVY.MIL
WITHIN 30 DAYS OF TEMADD/ITDY ORDERS DTG. DEPENDENT SCREENING IS NOT
REQUIRED.
C. GSA DETAILING ADMINISTRATION:
(1) DETAILERS WILL INFORM OFFICERS OF AVAILABLE GSA ASSIGNMENTS
DURING NORMAL ORDER NEGOTIATION WINDOWS, WHICH CAN VARY DEPENDING UPON
THE UNIQUE CAREER PATH REQUIREMENTS OF EACH OFFICER COMMUNITY.
(2) CONSISTENT WITH NORMAL DETAILING PRACTICES, AUXILLIARY
NOMINATIONS WILL NOT BE IDENTIFIED FOR GSA REQUISITIONS. IF A GSA
SELECTEE FALLS OUT GREATER THAN 120 DAYS BEFORE FIRST I-STOP, DETAILERS
WILL ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE UNPLANNED LOSS. IF FALLOUT OCCURS AT 120
DAYS OR LESS BEFORE THE FIRST I-STOP, COMNAVPERSCOM SHALL ATTEMPT TO
FIND A REPLACEMENT FILL WITHIN 48 HOURS AND, IF UNABLE TO FIND A
REPLACEMENT, THE REQUIREMENT WILL PASS TO USFF FOR IAMM SOURCING.
(3) OFFICERS WHO OPT FOR GSA ORDERS WILL BE CONSIDERED VOLUNTEERS
FOR THOSE ORDERS AND WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE WAIVED FOR DWELL/ITEMPO
REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN OPNAVINST 3000.13C.
D. FOLLOW-ON DETAILING:
(1) POST GSA DEPLOYMENTS. OFFICERS WHO HAVE FOLLOW-ON SEA DUTY
ORDERS SUBSEQUENT TO A GSA DEPLOYMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED VOLUNTEERS FOR
THOSE ORDERS AND WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE WAIVED FOR DWELL/ITEMPO
REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN OPNAVINST 3000 .13C.
(2) AS SOON AS THE OFFICER IS GAINED BY ECRC FWD, FOLLOW-ON
ORDERS TO THE NEXT DUTY ASSIGNMENT MAY BE ISSUED CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT
NPC ORDERS RELEASE GUIDANCE.
(3) DEPENDING ON SPECIFIC OFFICER COMMUNITY DETAILING WINDOWS,
OFFICERS WITH GSA ASSIGNMENTS OF MORE THAN NINE MONTHS MAY HAVE TO WAIT
TO NEGOTIATE FOLLOW-ON ORDERS UNTIL THEY HAVE EXECUTED THE GSA AND ARE
IN THEATER.
3. AS COMMUNITY-SPECIFIC INVENTORY AND BILLET CONSTRAINTS ALLOW,
OFFICERS COMPLETING A GSA TOUR FROM A SHORE SLATE WILL RECEIVE THE
FOLLOWING UPON RETURN FROM IA DEPLOYMENT:
A. THE FLEET-CONCENTRATION AREA OR HOMEPORT (IF AVAILABLE) OF THEIR
CHOICE.
B. IF DESIRED, DETAILING INDEPENDENT FROM THE STANDARD COMPETITIVE
SLATING PROCESS; ORDERS WILL BE DEVELOPED INDIVIDUALLY IN A ONE-ON-ONE
CONSTRUCT.
C. FOR FUTURE SLATES, IA "SLATING CREDIT," WHICH RANKS AN OFFICER
WHO HAS COMPLETED AN IA ASSIGNMENT ABOVE PEERS WITH SIMILAR
QUALIFICATIONS/FITNESS REPORTS.
D. UNLESS A VOLUNTEER FOR ANOTHER IAMM OR GSA, THE OFFICER WILL
HAVE TOTAL INDEMNITY FROM ANOTHER IA TOUR FOR THE THREE YEARS FOLLOWING
IA SERVICE. DESIGNATORS THAT DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT INVENTORY TO
SUPPORT A THREE-YEAR EXCLUSION WILL BE HANDLED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS.
4. GSA SAILORS ARE ENTITLED TO MOVE DEPENDENTS TO THE NEW DUTY STATION
(ECRC SAN DIEGO, CA OR ECRC NORFOLK, VA, AS APPROPRIATE) OR TO LEAVE
THEM AT THEIR CURRENT PERMANENT DUTY STATION (PDS). DUE TO STATUS OF
FORCES AGREEMENTS (SOFA) WITH HOST NATIONS, MEMBERS AT FOREIGN OCONUS
DUTY STATIONS MAY NOT BE AUTHORIZED TO LEAVE DEPENDENTS IN PLACE AT THE
CURRENT PERMANENT DUTY STATION (PDS). IF DEPENDENTS STAY AT THE FOREIGN
OCONUS DUTY STATION, THEY MAY NOT BE COVERED BY THE SOFA EVEN IF
OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED TO STAY. DEPENDENTS REMAINING AT CURRENT DUTY
STATION MAY BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN MILITARY HOUSING AND BAH ENTITLEMENTS
BASED ON CURRENT CONUS PDS OR DEPENDENT LOCATION. SEE REF (F) FOR
DETAILS.
5. OFFICERS UNDER IA ORDERS THAT REQUIRE 210 DAYS OR MORE AWAY FROM PDS
ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ITDY ORDERS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. FOR OFFICERS WITH
GSA ORDERS, THE PDS IS DEFINED AS THE ECRC FWD LOCATION LISTED ON THE
MEMBER'S PCS ORDERS. OFFICERS WHO MEET THE 210-DAY REQUIREMENT AND HAVE
NOT EXECUTED THEIR TDY ORDERS AND REQUIRE MOVEMENT OF DEPENDENTS TO AN
ALTERNATE PLACE OF RESIDENCE SHOULD CONTACT PERS-4G3 AT IAHHG@NAVY .MIL
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. REQUESTS MUST INCLUDE THE NOBLE EAGLE (NE)
NUMBER PROVIDED UNDER BILLET INFORMATION IN THE OFFICER'S ORIGINAL TDY
ORDERS.
6. THE NAVY REMAINS COMMITTED TO RECOGNIZING AND SUPPORTING OUR IA
OFFICERS AND FINDING THE BEST BALANCE BETWEEN IA MISSION REQUIREMENTS,
OFFICER DESIRES AND COMMAND READINESS. WHILE EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO EXECUTE GSA BUSINESS RULES AS PUBLISHED IN THIS NAVADMIN AND POSTED
AT HTTP://WWW.IA.NAVY.MIL, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT
CANNOT BE ANTICIPATED AND WILL REQUIRE TAILORED SOLUTIONS NOT COVERED IN
CURRENT BUSINESS RULES.
7. YOUR SUPPORT REMAINS CRITICAL TO ENSURING THE NAVY PROVIDES THE
RIGHT OFFICER WITH THE RIGHT SKILLS AT THE RIGHT TIME TO MEET OUR
NATION'S OCO REQUIREMENTS.
