CHAPTER 3

FORCE SUPPORT READINESS PLANNING

3.1. Planning and Posturing UTC Force Support Capabilities.

3.2. Planning and Posturing. The premise for the A1 UTCs is based on the lead/follow concept

and is the foundation for the way capability is built, postured, trained and deployed to support the

warfighter. A1 UTCs are approved by AF/A1XO and documented on the A1 UTC Placemat

located on the AF/A1XO Readiness SharePoint®. UTCs will be postured based on the

organization and mission of the Force Support unit using the A1 Force Support Functional Area

Prioritization and Sequencing guidance. (T-1). Guidance is posted on the AF/A1XO Readiness

SharePoint® page located at: https://usaf.dps.mil/sites/10097/KM/A1XO/SitePages/A1XO.aspx.

3.2.1. The Force Support Force Module is a tool for planners to use in adaptive and crisis

planning. This population driven Force Module layout can be used for incrementally building

Air Expeditionary Wings up to 2,200 personnel. Force Support readiness planners will tailor

UTC planning based on the mission and the capabilities required at execution. (T-1).

3.2.2. Contingency Planning. Units must develop local checklists or operating instructions to

outline actions and procedures to support base operation plans and contingency situations. (T-

2). These should include mobility deployments, major accident response, natural disaster

response (including emergency sheltering of off-base civilians), terrorist attack response, Force

Protection Condition changes, Chemical, Biological, Radiation and Nuclear attacks, reception

and beddown of incoming forces, and non-combatant evacuation.

3.3. Installation Level Planning. Force Support units are responsible for planning at the

installation level for Force Support capabilities. Specifically, units will ensure Force Support

requirements are updated in the Base Support and Expeditionary Site Plan, installation level

emergency response plans, operation plans, and local plans as directed by the parent wing. (T-2).

3.3.1. Unit Control Center. Force Support units must establish a unit control center, as

outlined in DAFI 10-2501, with the capability for Command and Control of unit resources for

response to actual or exercise situations. (T-1). Control centers must have clear, concise, and

complete checklists and status boards for command and control. (T-1). They should be located

in a specifically designated area and be ready for immediate operation. Force Support units

will have base and local area maps (including current base grid map), and have adequate

communications systems (and backups). (T-1).

3.3.2. Deployment planning. Force Support units with deployment missions must have

checklists, status boards and Command and Control systems prepared to deploy and operate a

unit control center at a forward operating location. (T-1). Deployable checklists and status

boards should include bed down planning, all field Force Support operations, emergency

response, mortuary/mass casualty, base attack response, and Ability to Survive and Operate

actions. The squadron must track status of critical assets, resources, and capabilities. (T-1).

42 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

3.4. Posturing Guidance. Force Support UTCs are postured to support Defense Planning

Guidance using the established structure in Attachment 2. The AF/A1 FAM publishes posturing

guidance in the Global Force Management cycle to ensure proper capability is postured. UTCs

are postured at a level consistent with the most stringent demand for surge and post-surge

operations in the Defense Planning Guidance. Posturing guidance contains all other specific

missions where capability is required outside of the Defense Planning Guidance.

3.4.1. UTC Posturing Guidance. The AF/A1 FAM determines the appropriate deployable

capability needed to support Defense Planning Guidance. The Force Support UTC guidance

is used to determine deployable, home station support and combatant commander in-place

capabilities. The guidance is used to determine Force Support forces available for rotational

deployments.

3.4.2. FSS leadership will develop and implement home station workload mitigation plans to

offset deployed capability during deployment operations. (T-2). Mitigation plans should

include contractual support, contingency Nonappropriated Fund Memorandum of Agreements,

utilization of available Air Reserve Component capabilities, civilian over hires, delay of non-

essential training and exercises and lastly a reduction in facilities and/or service.

3.4.3. Manpower and Equipment Force Packaging System. Force Support UTCs are

registered in the Manpower and Equipment Force Packaging System under the alphanumeric

series “RF" Mission capability statements and manpower force element listings for each UTC

are contained in the Manpower Force Packaging system of the Manpower and Equipment

Force Packaging System. A Logistics Detail for each UTC is maintained in the Logistics Force

Packaging System.

3.4.4. UTC Response Times. Regular component Force Support teams must be available for

worldwide deployment within 24 hours after initial notice. (T-1). Air Reserve Component

teams must be available for deployment within 72 hours after initial notice and activation. (T-

1). Force Support teams must deploy with team kits as specified in the applicable Logistics

Detail. (T-1).

3.5. Force Providers. As referenced in AFI 10-401, Operations Planning and Execution, force

providers will posture the maximum number of manpower authorizations from warfighting

organizations into standard deployable UTCs. (T-1). The specific UTCs to posture will be based

on the AF/A1 FAM posturing and sequencing guidance. (T-1). This guidance provides the

functional area concepts of operation and the UTC structure that supports it. (T-1). The AF/A1

FAM provides guidance on which UTCs should be postured and made available for planning

purposes based on component headquarters’ requirements and the Air Expeditionary Task Force

force modules.

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 43

CHAPTER 4

FORCE SUPPORT READINESS EDUCATION AND TRAINING

4.1. Force Support Readiness Education and Training. AF/A1XO maintains approval

authority for all readiness education and training for the A1 Functional community. Course

curriculum and additional materials are developed in conjunction with key stakeholders prior to

implementation with Force Support units, Silver Flag sites, and Air Education and Training sites.

4.2. Force Support Readiness Training. Commanders are responsible for ensuring effective

education and training programs are established and executed. (T-1). Commanders are also

responsible for reporting responsibilities for Resource and Capability Readiness per AFI 10-201,

Force Readiness Reporting. (T-1). Personnel assigned to Force Support UTC s are required to

complete ancillary and all non-AF Specialty Expeditionary Readiness Training as outlined in AFI

10-405, Expeditionary Readiness Training Program and AF Guidance Memorandum for

Expeditionary Readiness, as necessary, to maintain individual readiness. (T-1). Personnel

assigned to institutional force positions must complete readiness training as required to meet the

mission needs of their organization. (T-1). Members assigned to institutional force positions will

attend readiness training as required when they are tasked to fill a wartime tasking. (T-1).

4.2.1. Training Requirements. This section contains the Force Support training requirements

for readiness. A significant portion of the training will be required from Force Support Officers

(38F), personnel (3F0), and services (3F1) career fields. This is based on the role of these AF

Specialty Codes in the lead RFLX UTC makeup in the Force Support Force Module in

Attachment 3.

4.2.2. (Added) Education and Training (3F2), Manpower (3F3), Equal Opportunity (3F4),

Admin (3F5), Sexual Assault Prevention Response officer (80C), Protocol Officer (88B),

Protocol Noncommissioned Officer (8A3), and Airmen and Family Readiness (8C0) will

receive targeted mission specific education and training as required to meet the mission

capability statement on the UTC. (T-1).

4.2.3. (Added) Commanders at all levels will ensure Force Support personnel will be trained

to their wartime, contingency and home station positions. (T-1). Reserve commanders will

ensure Individual Mobilization Augmentees will be trained in wartime positions during annual

tours and inactive duty training (IADT) periods. (T-1). ANG developed, funds and conducts

the Casualty Affairs Mortuary Operations (CAMO) course that has been approved by AF

Mortuary Affairs Operations (AFMAO). AFMAO serves as the functional OPR for the ANG

CAMO course, providing curriculum review and approval.

4.3. Force Support Home Station Readiness Training. Training requirements are determined

by AF Specialty Code and will be completed by all members every 18 months (24 months for

AFR/ANG). (T-1). The mandatory blocks for each AF Specialty Code are outlined in the Force

Support Expeditionary Readiness Training matrix posted on the AF/A1XO Readiness

SharePoint® page located at: https://usaf.dps.mil/sites/10097/KM/A1XO/SitePages/A1XO.aspx. (T-1).

Home Station Readiness Training requirements are updated as needed and disseminated by

AF/A1XO. A team from AF/A1XO, in coordination with AFPC and AFSVC, develops and

determines steps to review Home Station Readiness Training to ensure the community is meeting

44 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

the intent and preparing teams/members as necessary. Scheduling training is covered in

paragraph 4.28 of this DAFI.

4.4. Force Support Vehicle Training. 3F1 personnel assigned to lead RFLX UTCs will be

trained in specific vehicle operations. The specific 3F1 skill level requiring the training are

outlined in the Force Support Expeditionary Readiness Training matrix posted on the AF/A1XO

Readiness SharePoint® page located at: https://usaf.dps.mil/sites/10097/KM/A1XO/SitePages/A1XO.aspx

. (T-1). Training frequency/re-occurrence will be based on guidance outlined in AFI 24-301,

Ground Transportation. (T-1).

4.5. Force Support Silver Flag.

4.5.1. Force Support military personnel assigned to lead RFLX UTCs (RFLXA, RFLXB,

RFLXC, and RFLXH) must complete Force Support training assessment at a certified Silver

Flag Training site on opening/establishing the base functions to stand up an Expeditionary

FSS. (T-1). Any Force Support member may be directed to attend Silver Flag training as

required by deployment tasking levied by the component. All 38F officers assigned to

sustainment UTCs will train as required for that capability. This requirement will be reported

in readiness reporting systems to ensure measurement. The Component MAJCOM determines

the number of units with open/establish the base lead, follow-on functional and sustainment

UTCs in coordination with their MAJCOM/A3 and the AF/A1 FAM. CONUS Combatant

Commander in-place with Force Support deployable capability posture functional follow-on

and sustainment UTCs to meet capability needs prescribed in the posturing and sequencing

guidance. Although these forces are in-place, CONUS Combatant Commander with this UTC

capability will be postured and trained as they are required to meet Defense Planning Guidance

surge and Air and Space Expeditionary Force rotational requirements defined by combatant

commander needs. (T-1).

4.5.2. Force Support Silver Flag Training Frequency. All Force Support personnel assigned

to lead RFLX UTCs (RFLXA, RFLXB, RFLXC, and RFLXH) must attend Force Support

training at Silver Flag every 36 months (48 months for AFR/ANG.) (T-1). Officers assigned

to CONUS warfighting or in-place overseas units will attend Force Support training at Silver

Flag every 36 months (every 48 months for AFR/ANG). (T-1). Field grade officers will attend

Force Support training at Silver Flag one time while assigned to a CONUS warfighting or in-

place overseas unit. (T-1). Officers in Institutional Force or in-place home station units may

attend Force Support Silver Flag one time while assigned to a CONUS warfighting or in-place

overseas unit. Overseas Combatant Commander In-Place (PACAF/USAFE) units and

members (except for Short Tour locations) will attend Force Support training at Silver Flag at

the same frequency as warfighting units in the CONUS, every 36 months (every 48 months for

AFR/ANG). (T-1).

4.6. Silver Flag Training Assessment and Certification. Silver Flag site certification criteria

for Force Support training will be reviewed to ensure it meets the intent of delivering the highest

standard of field training. (T-1). A joint readiness training team from AFCEC, AFPC, AFSVC,

and owning MAJCOM/A1R representatives (AFIMSC for Tyndall) will visit each site using the

AF/A1XO approved guidance and checklist. (T-1). When changes to certification criteria are

made, an appropriate grace period for implementation will be determined by AF/A1XO. A

AF/A1XO representative will attend certification visits when deemed necessary.

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 45

4.6.1. Silver Flag site certification for Force Support training is pass/fail. Pass/fail conditions

will be outlined in the AF/A1XO certification guidance and/or certification checklist.

Adjustments will be made as needed to ensure the highest standard of certification of Force

Support field training.

4.6.2. (Added) A consolidated site certification report will be prepared by the certification

team and forwarded to the site commander, along with AF/A1XO for distribution to the host

MAJCOM/A1, AFIMSC and the Force Support staff within 30 calendar days after completion

of the visit. (T-1). The training site owning MAJCOM/A1 and/or AFIMSC (as appropriate)

is required to coordinate on the completed certification report and address all findings (critical

and non-critical) within 60 days of receipt and execute corrective actions. The host

MAJCOM/A1 and/or AFIMSC will also provide a report to AF/A1XO indicating corrective

action at this time. If a Silver Flag site fails a certification, it will be reevaluated no earlier

than 30 days and no later than 90 days from the completed certification report. (T-1). If the

reevaluation results in a second failure, AF/A1XO will determine the appropriate course of

action.

4.7. Selected Force Support Training. There are four courses included in this subcategory,

Force Support Basic Contingency Course (MFSS100 Air University Distance Learning Course),

Force Support Contingency Course (MFSS275 Air University Resident Course), Deliberate and

Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segments (Wing Level Operators course taught at Keesler

must complete this course every 36 months. (T-1). This course measures the student’s

Expeditionary Manpower Management capabilities, while preparing them for expeditionary

operations.

4.11. Sustainment/Mission Specific UTC Training. The Force Support community organizes,

trains, and equips capability to support specific geographic and Combatant Commander’s

requirements based on the Defense Planning Guidance and other planning guidance. (T-1). In

order to support these needs, the community structures capability for special missions through both

posturing UTCs and coding manpower authorizations to perform these functions. (T-1).

Examples of this include Mortuary, Protocol, and Airman and Family Readiness, which are

identified in Attachment 3. AF/A1XO manages this capability based on wartime needs with the

UTCs’ Functional Area Manager from that respective community. Training for these UTCs is

determined by the program functional authority (i.e. Sexual Assault Response Coordinator,

Manpower, or Mortuary, etc.) with AF/A1XO determining additional readiness training required.

AF/A1XO, in coordination with Career Field Managers, determines the mandatory courses for pre-

deployment training and other training for any postured UTCs in the particular AF Specialty

Codes. Training for sustainment and mission specific UTCs consists of classroom and hands-on

training held at AF formal schools, training sites or at other venues determined by the functional

authority or as outlined by AF/A1XO. The basic requirements for each of these UTCs are laid out

below.

CHAPTER 5

PERSONNEL ACCOUNTABILITY

5.1. Purpose, Background and Scope.

5.2. Purpose. Provide guidance for establishing and maintaining personnel accountability.

Personnel accountability provides commanders, planners, and managers with the status of the force

and can be used in making force management decisions. This instruction also provides guidance

for quickly obtaining personnel accountability and reporting it to comply with DoD requirements

in DoDD 1100.4, Guidance for Manpower Management, DoDI 1336.07, Management of

Personnel Tempo, and DoDI 3001.02, Personnel Accountability in Conjunction with Natural or

Manmade Disasters.

5.3. Background. The AF is required to provide the deployment information on all Temporary

Duties (TDYs) performed and to provide accountability status to the Personnel Accountability and

Reporting System when directed upon the occurrence of a disaster or national emergency. The

objectives of personnel accountability programs are to capture and report all changes in a

member’s strength accounting duty status, and to ensure these changes, regardless of length, are

reported immediately. Personnel accountability is the primary conduit for collecting data

impacting AF personnel and operations tempo information and is often used when making force

management decisions.

5.4. Scope. The roles and responsibilities of involved agencies are fully explained in this

instruction. Understanding and accomplishing these roles and responsibilities are crucial for

ensuring the accurate and timely actions necessary to establish personnel accountability. Central

to accountability during a disaster event or national emergency is a commander’s inherent

responsibility to ensure awareness of the status of personnel under their command.

5.4.1. Specifically, this chapter applies to:

5.4.1.1. RegAF members and their Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System

enrolled family members.

5.4.1.2. Selected Reserve:

5.4.1.2.1. ANG, Active Duty United States Code (USC) Title 10, Active Duty Title

32, State Active Duty, Drilling Guardsmen (Traditional and ANG Technicians), and

Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System enrolled family members of these

Guard categories.

5.4.1.2.2. Reserve on USC Title 5 and 10 AD, Drilling Reservist (Traditional and Air

Reserve Technicians), Individual Mobilization Augmentees, and the Defense

Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System enrolled family members of these Reserve

categories.

5.4.1.3. AF members assigned to Joint or Defense organizations.

5.4.1.4. Department of AF and Non-appropriated Fund AF civilian employees.

5.4.1.5. Family members of Department AF and Non-appropriated Fund employees when

those family members are receiving evacuation entitlements.

52 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

5.4.1.6. Personnel on TDY, on leave, or on a pass.

5.4.1.7. When the impacted area is outside the continental United States, all Department

of the AF sponsored military, civilians, contractors to include all family members. Foreign

nationals are excluded.

5.4.2. Wherever and whenever possible, personnel accountability procedures should follow

the chain of command. (T-1). If regular reporting channels are not viable, individuals and

units must use any available means to report accountability information.

5.4.3. In the event of a disaster or national emergency (real world or exercise) and when

directed by AF leadership, AFPAAS is the system used to attain and report Total Force

accountability.

5.4.3.1. The AFPAAS utilizes data from the Defense Manpower Data Center’s Personnel

Accountability Reporting System database to identify members assigned, living, or

temporarily in the affected area.

5.4.3.2. The AFPAAS provides valuable information to the AF chain of command,

enabling commanders at all levels to make strategic decisions and facilitating a return to

normal operations after a disaster or national emergency.

5.4.3.3. MAJCOM and installation commanders may request a real-world event in lieu of

AF leadership directing local accountability events. Requests will be submitted through

AFPC/DP2WR to AF/A1XO for approval.

5.4.4. The AF Strength Accounting Duty Status Program is used to depict the current status

of the force and is designed to provide commanders, planners, and managers with strength-

affecting information via updates in the Military Personnel Data System.

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 53

CHAPTER 6

IPR AND PERSCO

6.1. Purpose, Background, Introduction, Scope and Concepts.

6.2. Purpose. PERSCO is the collection of manual and automated procedures, systems,

hardware, personnel agencies, and deployable individuals or teams to accomplish Total Force

accountability and reporting, casualty reporting, and personnel program advice.

6.3. Background. The primary missions of the personnel community are Total Force

accountability, casualty reporting and personnel program support.

6.4. Introduction. This chapter provides personnel readiness program guidance for AF personnel

agencies and commanders supporting contingency, wartime, emergency operations, and exercises.

6.5. Scope. The roles and responsibilities of personnel agencies at all levels involved in readiness

operations are explained in this instruction. As an essential element within agile combat support,

the personnel community contributes to the Air and Space Expeditionary Force by providing

mission-ready personnel forces as well as providing Total Force accountability, casualty reporting,

and personnel program support and advice to all levels of command involved in readiness

operations. Understanding and accomplishing these roles and responsibilities are crucial for

ensuring the Personnel Readiness mission is met.

6.6. Personnel Accountability. Personnel accountability is defined as the accurate accounting

for personnel at all times regardless of location.

6.6.1. Additional personnel accountability guidance can be levied by the combatant

commander or the component command to include the requirement to report other Department

of Defense civilians, other Department of Defense-essential contractor personnel, other

Services, allied forces, coalition forces and/or other personnel. Commanders, at all levels, are

ultimately responsible for maintaining accountability of their forces. PERSCO is a tool to

assist commanders in obtaining and maintaining accountability. Commanders must establish

procedures to account for their forces when there is no PERSCO at the deployed location. (T-

1).

6.6.2. Personnel accountability enables planners and managers to support the commander’s

concept of operations by providing strength and casualty information essential for the

commander to make informed decisions concerning force allocation and capabilities. At the

unified command level and above, this information also assists senior leaders in making

informed decisions.

6.6.3. Accounting for deployed and residual forces provides senior military and civilian

leadership visibility of the human resources committed to contingency operations.

6.6.4. The historical capture of personnel accountability data (e.g., Gulf War Syndrome,

follow-up treatment, medical counseling, state bonuses and entitlements) is provided by AFPC

Directorate of Personnel Operations (AFPC/DP2) on a regular basis to the chain of command

(who was deployed where and for how long). This allows the tracking and analysis of

personnel and their association to specific military operations for future programs and

initiatives.

54 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

6.6.5. Force accountability. Force accountability is accomplished with GCCS-AF Systems,

Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segments. This system uses a series of

business rules to alert users to changes in deployment requirements and the status of deployed

persons. This system is also programmed to generate Military Personnel Data System

transactions to inform home-station commanders of the whereabouts and status of their

deployed personnel. PERSCO maintains accountability of deployed personnel using this

system. (T-1). The Employment Requirements Manning Document lists the requirements for

a particular deployed location. PERSCO monitors these requirements and coordinates with

deployed commanders and servicing Manpower office to determine if requirements are valid.

(T-1). There are several elements of Force accountability that must be tracked:

6.6.5.1. Strength accountability. PERSCO teams will maintain accountability over all

personnel on the ground, including transients, at their deployed and designated

geographically separated locations, regardless of status, in accordance with component

command policies. (T-1). All geographical locations serviced by PERSCO teams can be

located in Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segments under Personnel

Functions utilizing the Headquarters AF/MAJCOM routing application.

6.6.5.2. Unit accountability. The deployed unit commander will maintain accountability

for the unit personnel assigned and/or attached. (T-1). This accountability includes

knowing where assigned personnel are at any given time, where they live and where they

work.

6.6.5.3. Replacement accountability. Deployed commanders will initiate replacement

actions to replace a deployed individual that departs prior to completing the specified tour

length. (T-2). PERSCO will track the status of all incoming and/or departing personnel

as well as their arrival and departure plans. (T-1).

6.6.5.4. Transient accountability. Transient forces are those that spend at least one night

at a location but their final duty location is elsewhere. PERSCO, in coordination with

deployed services (lodging) and transportation, will track arrival and departure of transient

personnel. (T-1).

6.6.5.5. Tasked Wing accountability. Unit commanders and IPR Elements will maintain

accountability over their deployed personnel until they have returned to home station. (T-

1).

6.7. Contingency, Exercise, and Deployment Orders.

6.7.1. Administrative Orders. This section establishes guidance for preparation, issuance,

numbering, funding, authentication, distribution, and maintenance of Contingency, Exercise,

Deployment orders. Only IPR or designated individuals on an activated Personnel Deployment

Function are authorized to publish Contingency, Exercise, and Deployment orders.

6.7.1.1. Contingency, Exercise, Deployment orders published by the IPR Element are the

only type of orders authorized for deployment of AF personnel assigned to AF units in

support of contingency, humanitarian or disaster relief operations or Chairman of the Joint

Chiefs of Staff or Command exercises that require a Time-Phased Force Deployment Data.

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 55

6.7.1.2. Use of the computer-generated Contingency, Exercise, Deployment orders in lieu

of the DD Form 1610, Request and Authorization for TDY Travel of DoD Personnel, is

authorized according to AFI 65-103, Temporary Duty Orders.

6.7.1.3. Ensure the information appearing on computer-generated Contingency, Exercise,

and Deployment orders complies with guidelines outlined in the Joint Travel Regulations

(JTR) Uniformed Service Members and DoD Civilian Employees. (T-2).

6.7.1.4. Do not authenticate Contingency, Exercise, and Deployment orders for local

exercises where movement is simulated. (T-2).

6.7.1.5. Generate North Atlantic Treaty Organization orders to fulfill treaty requirements

(refer to AFI 65-103). (T-0).

6.7.1.6. The FSS commander will appoint an orders-issuing or approving official for

Contingency, Exercise, Deployment orders in writing. (T-2). This official must sign

manually prepared orders; however, computer-generated orders do not need to be signed

as long as adequate controls are in place to ensure proper approval before orders are

authenticated (e.g., orders logs, electronic copies of orders, etc.). (T-3).

6.7.1.7. Do not issue verbal orders unless absolutely necessary. (T-2). Verbal orders are

authorized only when time or error prevented written orders from being published in

advance of travel. Confirm verbal orders (in writing) as soon as possible. Include in the

written orders the date and who issued the verbal orders along with a statement on why

written orders were not issued earlier. (T-3).

6.7.1.8. Changes to Orders/Amendments, Rescissions, and Revocations. To amend,

rescind, or revoke Contingency, Exercise, Deployment orders, use a composed amendment

(Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segments generated) or an AF Form

973, Request and Authorization for Change of Administrative Orders. Publish

amendments, rescissions, and revocations in the “TE” series. (T-1). Do not use blanket

statements such as “previous orders are rescinded” or “this order supersedes all previously

published orders.” (T-3).

6.7.1.9. Orders shall be amended, rescinded, or revoked only by the organization

publishing the original orders. (T-2).

6.7.1.9.1. Publish an amendment to add, delete, or change pertinent data to read as

originally intended. (T-2). Correct inaccurate first or middle names and initials and

other personal data when required for an individual to enter a foreign country. (T-2).

Add or change a travel advance payment statement or to authorize leave outside the

local area prior to or after deployment. (T-2).

6.7.1.9.2. Do not publish an amendment to delete an individual, to rescind or revoke

in part the original orders pertaining to the person, or to change an effective date after

it has passed. (T-2). Revoke or rescind an expired order and publish a new order (see

below for guidance on revoking versus rescinding). (T-2). Do not publish an

amendment to include leave taken in the local area prior to or after deployment. (T-2).

6.7.1.10. Rescind an order when some action has been taken on the published order, such

as issuance of airline tickets or issuance or receipt of a travel advance. (T-2).

56 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

6.7.1.11. Revoke an order when no action occurs against the original order such as before

it has gone into effect. (T-2). If an effective date has passed and no action has occurred,

revoke the original order and publish a new order. (T-2). The orders approving official

determines when to revoke “TE” series orders. (T-2).

6.7.1.12. Retroactive amendments to increase or decrease the amount of money due to the

traveler must be fully explained and justified. (T-2). Written requests for such

amendments must clearly show the original order was unclear, incomplete, or lacked

necessary information. (T-2).

6.7.1.13. Contingency, Exercise and Deployment Orders will be produced unclassified.

(T-2). For classified deployments, use “****” to data mask information on all Contingency

Exercise and Deployment Orders. (T-2).

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 57

CHAPTER 7

EVACUATION OF US CITIZENS AND DESIGNATED ALIENS FROM THREATENED

AREAS ABROAD

7.1. Overview. The AF will support evacuation and repatriation operations, as well as assigned

safe haven locations.

7.2. Noncombatant Evacuation Operation Mission. Noncombatant Evacuation Operation is

defined in JP 3-68, Noncombatant Evacuation Operations, as an operation whereby noncombatant

evacuees are evacuated from a threatened area abroad, which includes areas facing actual or

potential danger from natural or manmade disaster, civil unrest, imminent or actual terrorist

activities, hostilities, and similar circumstances, that is carried out with the assistance of the

Department of Defense. As used by Department of State, a Noncombatant Evacuation Operation

is an ordered departure from a threatened area abroad that is carried out with the assistance of

DoD, as opposed to ordered departures that do not require DoD assistance, but are carried out

using commercial or chartered transportation. The Department of State may declare a

Noncombatant Evacuation Operation based on the nature of the threat or the lack of availability of

alternative forms of transportation. Diplomatic or other considerations may make the use of the

term “NEO” inadvisable and require the use of the terms for the operation instead. The US

Government will consider evacuating host nation and other country nationals on a case-by-case,

space available/reimbursable basis. Although normally considered in connection with hostile

action, evacuation may also be conducted in anticipation of, or in response to, any natural or man-

made disaster. Due to the nature of Noncombatant Evacuation Operations, which may require a

broad US Government agency approach, interagency coordination needs to be established early in

the planning of the Noncombatant Evacuation Operation, preferably before the crisis begins,

between DoS, DoD, and any other US Government agencies, if involved, to ensure success.

Appropriate DoD, Joint Staff, and AF offices will be contacted prior to Service-level interagency

coordination.

7.3. Repatriation. Repatriation is the procedures through which US citizens are officially

processed back into the US following evacuation from overseas. Repatriation is not a part of, but

subsequent to a Noncombatant Evacuation Operation. Commander, US Northern Command, and

Commander, US Indo-Pacific Command are identified as offices of primary responsibility for

repatriation. Commander, US Northern Command is responsible for receiving evacuees in the

continental US, Alaska, and the US territories within the Caribbean during repatriation.

Commander, US Indo-Pacific Command is responsible for receiving evacuees in Hawaii and US

territories within the Pacific during repatriation. AF installations within these combatant

commands will develop and maintain a plan for use during repatriation as necessary. (T-1).

Installations will use the DD Form 2585, Repatriation Processing Center Processing Sheet, as

directed. (T-1). Instructions for completion are included on the form. Additionally, installations

may use the needs assessment surveys in the AFPAAS to determine and track evacuee needs.

7.4. Evacuation Planning and Processing. In the CONUS, emphasis should be on evacuations

for natural and man-made disasters. In overseas areas, include evacuation situations involving

political or military conflict. Ensure accountability of personnel as they depart and arrive at the

evacuation location, and develop procedures to provide this information to higher headquarters on

request. (T-0).

58 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

7.4.1. Evacuation orders will not be used solely to create an entitlement to disaster-related

benefits. (T-1).

7.4.2. Evacuation benefits will be used only to pay for evacuation-related costs not covered

by other sources of federal funding. (T-0).

7.4.2.1. Ensure evacuees understand they are not entitled to receive payments from more

than one federal source for the same disaster-related expense. (T-0). For example, if an

evacuee receives Federal Emergency Management Agency relocation assistance to pay for

emergency lodging, that lodging assistance may be deducted from any evacuation lodging

assistance provided by the AF.

7.4.3. Ensure that all requests for payment submitted by evacuated military family members

and/or civilian employees contain a statement that they understand they are not entitled to dual

federal payments for the same disaster-related expenses; and should they receive payments

from another federal agency, such payments will be deducted from any payments made by the

AF for the same expense. (T-0).

7.5. Reception Plans and Assistance in CONUS and in Temporary Safe Haven

Overseas. Commanders overseas, and those at ports of entry and other CONUS locations, must

be ready to respond to requests for help from evacuees. (T-2). Installations will coordinate with

their MAJCOM A4/Air Component to determine their reception/repatriation role. (T-2).

MAJCOM A4 will coordinate with NORTHCOM/J3/5 and the appropriate Air Component to

ensure installations plan for reception/repatriation. Coordination with other government agencies

(such as the Department of State, Department of Health and Human Services, and applicable state

offices) may be required to develop reception/repatriation procedures. Appropriate DoD, Joint

Staff, and AF offices will be contacted prior to Service-level interagency coordination. (T-2).

CHAPTER 8

DESERTION AND UNAUTHORIZED ABSENCE

8.1. Unauthorized Absence.

8.2. Purpose. The AF Strength Accounting Duty Status Program exists to enhance personnel

accountability and improve crisis responsiveness. Unauthorized Absences are pay-effecting

actions and also directly impact a unit’s personnel accountability/readiness; therefore, it is

imperative that commanders and supervisors act promptly when a member is not present for duty.

This instruction establishes guidance, assigns responsibilities, and prescribes procedures designed

to reduce Unauthorized Absences of military personnel.

8.3. Objective: The objective of the Strength Accounting Duty Status Program is to capture and

report all changes in a member’s duty status to ensure these changes, regardless of length are

reported immediately. Specifically, this instruction defines procedures for the accurate and timely

reporting of AF absentees and to support apprehension efforts of military and civilian law

enforcement authorities.

8.4. When Unauthorized Absences Begins and Ends. The commander, first sergeant, and/or

supervisor will investigate a member’s absence to determine whether or not the absent is voluntary

or involuntary. (T-2). An Unauthorized Absence is when an Airman voluntarily absences

themselves from where they are ordered or otherwise required to be present. An Unauthorized

Absence ends when the absentee or deserter returns to military control. An Unauthorized Absence

of 24 hours or less is classified administratively as “failure to go”. Note: If the commander

determines the member’s absence may be involuntary, contact the FSS Casualty Assistance

Representative immediately for possible Duty Status Whereabouts Unknown reporting in

accordance with AFI 36-3002, Casualty Services. (T-2). Further, these admistrative statuses are

separate and distinct from the criminal offenses of desertion or AWOL under the UCMJ. For

further information, reference Articles 85 and 86, UCMJ.

8.4.1. When to classify as AWOL. A voluntary Unauthorized Absence of more than 24 hours

and less than 30 days is classified administratively as “absence without leave” or AWOL

(UCMJ, Article 86). (T-1).

8.4.2. When to classify as a Deserter. A member who has been AWOL for more than 30

consecutive days will be classified administratively as a deserter (UCMJ, Article 85). (T-1).

Example: AMN Doe has been AWOL since 1 Jan 2018. He remains AWOL through 2400

on the 30th consecutive day and his status is changed to Deserter on the 31st day (10th day

during times of National Emergency or war declared by the President or Congress) with an

effective date and time of 31 January 2018 at 0001. Note: An absentee does not have to be

placed in AWOL status prior to being classified as a Deserter status if the member is absent

without authority, regardless of the length of the absence, and meets any of the eligibility

criteria listed below.

8.4.2.1. The commander has determined that the member remains absent from his or her

unit, organization, or place of duty with no intention of returning.

8.4.2.2. Is under the duty or travel restrictions that DoDMAN5200.02_AFMAN 16-1405,

Air Force Personnel Security Program, imposes.

60 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

8.4.2.3. Has had access in the past 12 months to Top Secret information or other classified

information that requires special access authority (see paragraph 8.7.8). Note: Do not

classify a person who appears to be a casualty as a deserter solely because the person has

had access to classified material described herein.

8.4.2.4. Has gone to, or stayed in, a foreign country and, while there, has asked for or taken

any type of asylum or resident permit from that country or its governmental agencies.

8.4.2.5. Has action pending on a previous Unauthorized Absence that has not been

completed.

8.4.2.6. Is an escaped prisoner.

8.4.2.7. Is under investigation for violating the UCMJ or against whom charges for any

offense have been referred to any level of court-martial.

8.4.2.8. Is believed likely to commit violent acts, or may harm themselves or the general

public.

8.4.2.9. AFPC/DPFC has determined member is a deserter.

8.5. Reporting Unauthorized Absences.

8.6. Reporting Responsibilities. Unauthorized Absences must be reported immediately. (T-1).

Supervisors must promptly notify the chain of command of all Unauthorized Absences. Unit

commanders have the primary responsibility to determine the cause of absence and to find and

return the individual to military control.

8.7. Duty Status Reporting. The Case Management System is used to report all Duty Status

Changes requests for AWOL and Deserter as well as when the member is returned to military

control (i.e., Present for Duty, confinement, etc.). Specific processing guidelines can be found in

the Personnel Service Delivery Guide – Strength Accounting Duty Status Program on the AFPC

myPers webpage.

8.7.1. A new Duty Status Change request in Case Management System is required for each

Duty Status Change (e.g., one Case Management System case to place the member in AWOL

status; a second Case Management System case to return inactive the member Present for

Duty). (T-1).

8.7.2. Commanders will initiate the Duty Status Change request in Case Management System

within 1 duty day of the commander’s conclusion of the member’s voluntary absence. (T-1).

The date the Case Management System case is initiated is considered the date of the

commander’s determination of status regardless of the effective date of the member’s

AWOL/Deserter status date. Only a G-series commander may sign/approve the Duty Status

Change request in Case Management System. If the member’s commander is unavailable to

sign due to TDY, deployment, or leave, the section commander (if on G-series orders) or next

level G-series commander may sign/approve in their place.

8.7.2.1. For Air Reserve Component members, commanders contact ANGSC/MPP (for

ANG members), or Headquarters AFRC/A1K (for AFR members), and ask for

instructions. For ANG record types AG/BG, after updating the duty status, no transaction

flows from MilPDS to FSO to update the member’s Master Military Pay Account.

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 61

8.7.3. Unit Commander's 72-Hour Status Report. When a member has been absent for 72-

hours, the commander reports information related to the member’s absence and status of

investigation to local leadership and AFPC/DPFCM. (T-3). The unit commander ensures a

copy of the letter is sent to AFPC/DPFCM and the installation’s chief of security forces. (T-

3). The 72-hours begins the first day of the member’s absence. (See Air Force Personnel

Services Delivery [PSD] guide for detailed instructions for completing this report).

8.7.4. Next of Kin Letter. The unit commander writes a Next of Kin Letter to family members

and payees of allotments (e.g. former spouse receiving alimony or child support allotments)

about the Unauthorized Absence when evidence shows the absentee planned or spoke to others

of a plan to leave without authorization, or the unit commander administratively declares an

absentee a deserter, or when the Unauthorized Absence has lasted 10 consecutive days. (T-3).

(See PSD guide for detailed instructions for completing this letter.)

8.7.5. The 31-and 60-Day Status Reports. On the 31st and 60th days of absence, the unit

commander submits status reports, in writing, to AFPC/DPFCM. (T-3). (See PSD guide for

detailed instructions for completing these reports.)

8.7.5.1. On the 31st day of AWOL, the commander notifies the MPF Force Management

Office or CSS (if applicable) to initiate a new Duty Status Change Request in Case

Management System to change the member’s status from AWOL to Deserter. (T-2).

8.7.5.2. Upon receipt of the Duty Status Change Request, the commander logs into Case

Management System to approve the request and refer Case Management System case to

AWOL/Deserter Program Manager (AFPC/DPFCM). (T-2).

8.7.6. DD Form 553, Deserter/Absentee Wanted by the Armed Forces. Upon determination

of deserter status, the commander, with assistance from the MPF/CSS, Security Forces

Squadron (SFS), and AFPC/DPFCM (if needed), immediately prepares and distributes a DD

Form 553 to place member in deserter status. (T-0). (See PSD guide for detailed instructions

for completing this form.)

8.7.7. Action in Cases Involving Security. When an absentee is administratively classified as

a deserter for a reason in paragraph 8.4.2.3, the unit commander will:

8.7.7.1. Refer the case for investigation to the AF OSI unit servicing the absentee's

installation. (T-1).

8.7.7.2. As soon as possible, account for classified material that the absentee had access

to and notifies AFOSI of any missing material. (T-1).

8.7.7.3. As soon as possible, assess how much damage to national security could result

from unauthorized disclosure of the information, and provides assessment to

AFOSI/ICON/ICW. (T-1).

8.7.7.4. Consider appointing an inquiry officer under DoDI 5200.48, Controlled

Unclassified Information if the absentee had access to classified information. (T-1).

8.7.8. War and Mobilization Absence without Leave (AWOL) Reporting Procedure. When

Congress or the President declares a National Emergency or war, reporting procedures are

accelerated to involve law enforcement agencies to assist in returning absent members to the

military. this occurs, immediately prepare and distribute DD Form 553 on the 10th day of

62 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

AWOL, not the 31st day. (T-1). Also due on the 10th day are the Notice to Next of Kin

Letter(s) and 31-Day (10-Day) Status Report. (T-1).

8.7.9. Upon determination of Deserter status, the commander notifies the FSO of the duty

status change and retrieves all dependent Identification (ID) card(s) (ref: AFI 36-3026_IPV1,

Identification Cards for Members of the Uniformed Services, Their Eligible Family Members,

and Other Eligible Personnel, Table 8.3). (T-3).

8.7.10. On the 180th day of the member’s Unauthorized Absence, ensures the CSS or MPF

obtains the member’s medical and dental records and forwards them to AFPC/DPFCM. (T-

2).

8.8. After-The-Fact Reporting. Commanders ensure timely reporting of absentees to expedite

their return to military control as well as for pay-affecting transactions in MilPDS. (T-2). If

circumstances result in reporting unauthorized absentees after the member has been returned to

military control, the commander must submit a memorandum to AFPC/DPFCM explaining the

circumstances of the absence, return to military control, and reasons for delayed reporting. (T-2).

The memorandum includes (but is not limited to):

8.8.1. Circumstances of the absence. (T-2).

8.8.2. Explanation of actions taken to locate and return the absentee, including circumstances

of absentees return to military control. (T-2).

8.8.3. Reason for late reporting. (T-2).

8.9. General Apprehension Information and Cooperation with Civil Authorities.

8.9.1. Apprehension Procedures. Commanders start investigating the case and begin

apprehension efforts as soon as an Unauthorized Absence occurs. (T-2). These efforts not

only assist in returning absentees to the military sooner, they also deter others from

Unauthorized Absence.

8.9.2. Who Has Authority To Apprehend:

8.9.2.1. Military law enforcement personnel and commissioned, warrant, petty, and non-

commissioned officers may apprehend absentees and deserters. See Article 7, UCMJ, and

Rules for Courts-Martial 302(b)(1) and 302(b)(2). Commanders should consult the

servicing Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) and SFS concerning apprehension authority.

8.9.2.2. Civil officers authorized to arrest offenders under federal and state laws may arrest

a deserter and deliver the offender into the custody of the Armed Forces (see Article 8 of

the UCMJ and the Rules for Courts-Martial 302[b][3]). These officers may also arrest

absentees at the request of military or federal authorities.

8.9.3. United States authorities may arrest absentees and deserters in foreign countries only:

8.9.3.1. When an international agreement with the country authorizes it.

8.9.3.2. Under an agreement with appropriate local authorities that does not violate an

existing international agreement.

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 63

8.9.3.3. In these cases, carefully consider and consult with the servicing SJA about

possible international implications and adverse foreign relations.

8.9.3.4. If apprehension is impossible, or in any case of unclear apprehension authority,

report the facts to AF/JAO at DSN 225-9631 or 703-695-9631 to expedite submission to

the Assistant Secretary of the AF for Manpower and Reserve Affairs for resolution.

8.10. Notice of Air Force Deserters to Civil Authorities:

8.10.1. Within the Jurisdiction of the United States. The unit commander, working with

security forces and the MPF, if needed, promptly sends DD Form 553 for a member

administratively classified as a deserter to Armed Forces and civilian law enforcement

agencies most likely to help apprehend the absentee. (T-1). AFPC/DPFCM sends notices to

AFOSI/ICON and to the Department of State in certain cases (i.e., those in which others know

or strongly suspect the absentee has gone to a foreign country). (T-1).

8.10.2. Outside the Jurisdiction of the United States. MAJCOMs act as needed, respecting the

primacy of international agreements to secure cooperation in apprehending absentee and/or

deserted members.

8.11. Investigations, Apprehension, and Cooperation with Civilian Law Enforcement

Authorities:

8.11.1. Unit commanders work closely with local security forces and AF OSI field units to

pursue every avenue possible to locate and ensure the apprehension of absentees. (T-1). Leads

developed as to the location of absentees shall be conveyed as expeditiously as possible to

appropriate civilian law enforcement authorities who shall be asked to assist in the return of

such persons to military control. (T-1).

8.11.2. In cases where the member has been dropped from unit rolls, AFPC/DPFCM and

AFOSI/ICON work together to resolve the case. (T-1). AFOSI/ICON and local field units

establish liaison and maintain a level of coordination with civilian law enforcement agencies

necessary to encourage active participation in apprehension efforts. (T-1). AFPC/DPFCM

provides any leads to AFOSI/ICON for further pursuit. (T-1).

8.11.3. Absentees detained by civilian law enforcement authorities. In some cases,

AFPC/DPFCM and/or AFOSI/ICON may be the first AF agencies contacted by civilian law

enforcement authorities regarding the apprehension of an AF absentee. (T-1). If

AFPC/DPFCM is the first agency contacted, they will notify AFOSI/ICON (if a deserter) and:

8.11.3.1. Contact the nearest AF installation SFS within 1 duty day of the apprehension to

expedite the absentee’s return to military control. (T-1). The SFS coordinates with civilian

law enforcement as well as other military law enforcement, as necessary, to expedite the

absentee’s return to the closest military installation with appropriate facilities. (T-1).

8.11.3.2. For members absent for less than one year, AFPC/DPFCM contacts the unit

commander within one duty day of the apprehension in order to coordinate with security

forces to expedite the absentee’s return to military control. (T-1).

8.11.4. Civilian law enforcement authorities arrest and hold absentees to assist military

departments. (T-1). The commander of the installation nearest where the absentee is being

detained is responsible for taking custody of the absentee from civilian law enforcement

authorities. (T-1).

needed.

8.11.6. If foreign authorities hold the absentee, consult with the JA before acting. (T-1).

8.11.7. Pick up all absentees, regardless of Service, from civilian law enforcement authorities

in the CONUS.

8.11.7.1. Take absentees or deserters to the nearest military installation having facilities to

process them. (T-1).

8.11.7.2. Inter-Service agreements will be used to facilitate the transfer of custody of

absentees and deserters of all Military Services. (T-1).

8.11.8. If Air Force officials cannot pick up any absentees or deserters from another Service

who are being held by civilian law enforcement authorities, notify the relevant Services of

those individuals remaining in civilian custody before leaving the confinement facility. (T-3).

8.12. Rewards and Reimbursements:

8.12.1. Any authorized communication, oral or written, from a military or federal law

enforcement official or agency, requesting active cooperation in apprehending or delivering to

military control an absentee or deserter wanted by a military department constitutes the basis

for a reward. After this communication, the AF rewards or reimburses (but not both) persons

or agencies apprehending, detaining or delivering absentees, deserters, escaped military

prisoners, or parole violators to military control under an AF Centrally Managed Allotment

Account. If a non-AF military absentee/deserter/escapee is brought to an AF installation and

a reward or reimbursement is due, the apprehendee’s parent military department Military

Personnel Pay Account pays, not the AF Centrally Managed Allotment.

8.12.1.1. Payment of a reward shall not exceed that named in 10 USC § 956. (T-0).

Contact the base FSO for specific guidance. (Reference AFI 65-601, Volume 1, Budget

Guidance and Procedures.)

8.12.2. To request reward or reimbursement, persons or agencies must submit DD Form 553

to the FSO where the deserter is returned to AF control. (T-1). The remarks section of DD

requesting reward or reimbursement. (T-1).

8.13. Actions Taken When an Absentee Returns to Military Control.

8.14. Notice of Return to Military Control. The unit CSS, MPF, or commander at the AF

installation taking initial control of the absentee must notify AFPC/DPFCM immediately of the

apprehension. (T-1). In accordance with AFMAN 31-115V1, Department of the Air Force

Corrections System, installation commanders maintain the capability to house pretrial detainees

and adjudged inmates with sentences up to 1 year, through organic confinement facilities, adjacent

DoD facilities, civilian contracts, or a combination of organic, Support Agreement, or contract

derived bed space.

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 65

8.15. Where Absentees Return to Military Control:

8.15.1. At any military installation staffed by AD personnel, immediately transfer an

individual to the nearest installation of the individual's branch of military Service that has

facilities to process absentees. (T-1). Military authorities will take absentees and deserters

being detained temporarily in the hands of civil authorities into custody within 48 hours after

receiving notification of the absentee’s or deserter’s place of detention. (T-1).

8.15.2. In foreign countries, military attachés, the chief of the Military Assistance Advisory

Group, or similar organizations, may not help an absentee who asks to return to military control

unless the US is directly responsible for the individual's presence in the country. (T-1).

8.15.2.1. Generally, these organizations advise such absentees to report, at their own

expense, to a proper US military installation in the US or overseas.

8.15.2.2. Unless absentees are citizens of the country in which US assistance is requested,

they must be reported to the country’s proper authorities with a view toward deportation.

attaché or chief of the Military Assistance Advisory Group arranges for the individual's

custody upon arriving in a territory where US military officers have arresting authority.

(T-1).

8.16. Defining an Absentee’s Return to Military Control. An absentee in the hands of civilian

law enforcement authorities is no longer considered to be at large when AF authorities lodge a

detainer with civil authorities. A detainer is a written or verbal request to hold the member for AF

authorities when his or her presence is no longer required by civilian law enforcement authorities.

The detainer ensures civilian law enforcement authorities inform military authorities when they

are ready to release the absentee.

8.16.1. An absentee’s return to military control occurs at the date and hour that:

8.16.1.1. An absentee surrenders to, is delivered to, or is apprehended by military

authorities.

8.16.1.2. A civilian law enforcement authority informs the military that it holds the

absentee for some reason other than the military's request.

8.16.1.3. An absentee otherwise comes under the control of military personnel.

8.17. Disposition of Absentee Returned to Military Control:

8.17.1. Absentees gone for less than 1 year are returned to the unit they were assigned to at

the time of their Unauthorized Absence. (T-1).

facilities to handle the case. (T-1).

8.17.3. For members in a permanent change of station status, refer to AFPC/DPFCM

procedural guidance.

8.17.4. In some cases, the rules outlined above (paragraph 8.17.1 through 8.17.3) may not be

appropriate. Under these circumstances, contact AFPC/DPFCM for further guidance and

determination of unit of assignment. (T-1).

66 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

8.17.5. The detaining unit contacts AFPC/DPFCM to make notification of the return of a

deserter to military control. (T-1).

8.17.6. For deserters requiring escort, do not release the deserter except to identify escort(s).

(T-1). See paragraph 8.18 for escort delineation.

8.17.7. For deserters who do not require escorts, the detaining security forces unit will issue a

DD Form 460, Provisional Pass, and the member will travel to their duty station. (T-1).

8.17.8. In accordance with AFI 65-601, Volume 1, paragraph 12.7.4, the Air Force may

furnish military personnel who are in an absent-without-leave, desertion, or escaped-military-

prisoner status (under apprehension) the necessary transportation and meal tickets to return to

their duty station or as determined in paragraph 8.17.1 through paragraph 8.17.4. (T-1).

Contact the local FSO for specific guidance.

8.17.9. The detaining unit processes a one-way TDY order or memorandum for the deserter

in accordance with AFI 65-103, Temporary Duty/Special Orders, Table 2.1 and the Joint

Travel Regulation. (T-1). In the Remarks section (Block 16), type the following statement:

“Member is a deserter returned to military control.” (T-1).

8.18. Escorts. The action unit commander coordinates with security forces to determine if

absentees need escorts. (T-1). Use security forces escorts only when an armed escort is needed

as determined by the installation chief, Security Forces. (T-1). Prisoners not considered being a

threat to themselves or the general public can be escorted by unarmed personnel such as

supervisors and first sergeants. The commander authorizes escorts for members detained outside

their country of assignment only after consulting the servicing JA. (T-1).

8.18.1. Generally, use escorts if the member:

8.18.1.1. Escaped from prison. (T-1).

8.18.1.2. Has been charged with other serious offenses. (T-1).

8.18.1.3. Was apprehended by civil authorities. (T-1).

en-route. (T-1).

8.18.3. Transportation and travel expenses for AF personnel acting as guards or escorts of AF

or other Military Service absentees, deserters or escaped military prisoners are provided in

accordance with AFI 65-601, Volume 1, Budget Guidance and Procedures, paragraph 12.7

and 12.8. Contact the local FSO for specific guidance.

8.19. Actions Taken After an Absentee is Returned to a Servicing Air Force

Installation. The following items are an integral part of an absentee’s return to the AF:

8.19.1. Notification of return of absentee to the military. The unit CSS or commander with

the assistance from the MPF immediately notifies AFPC/DPFCM of the member’s return to

military control. (T-2).

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 67

8.19.2. DD Form 616, Report of Return of Absentee (Applies to Deserters when a DD Form

553 was processed). The unit commander, with CSS, MPF and SFS assistance as needed,

completes and forwards the DD Form 616 (refer to myPers) to AFPC/DPFCM and all agencies

in receipt of the associated DD Form 553 within 1 duty day of the member’s return to military

control. (T-2).

8.19.3. AFOSI/ICON/ICW removes the member’s name from the National Crime Information

Center upon receipt of the DD Form 616 confirming the member’s return to military control.

(T-2).

8.19.4. The unit CSS, commander or MPF immediately prepares a Duty Status Change

Request using Case Management System reporting the member’s returned to military control.

(T-2).

8.19.5. Deserters dropped from unit rolls (i.e., deserter for 180 days or more) are assigned to

an AFPC personnel accounting symbol code. Upon notification of return to military control,

AFPC/DPFCM coordinates with the MPF to determine the unit of assignment based on

duration of deserter status (see paragraph 8.17.1 through 8.17.3) and reassign the member to

the appropriate unit personnel accounting symbol code. (T-2).

8.19.5.1. Once the personnel accounting symbol code is updated in MilPDS, the unit

commander, CSS, or MPF completes processing a HR Type Personnel Program

Application-Duty Status Change (AWOL/Deserter) Case Management System case to

AFPC/DPFCM to update the member’s duty status in MilPDS accordingly. (T-2).

8.19.5.2. AFPC/DPFCM forwards the returned deserter’s medical and dental records to

the assigned MPF. (T-2). If the member’s personnel record is not in Automated Records

Management System Office, AFPC/DPFCM will forward the Unit Personnel Record

Group to the MPF. (T-2).

8.19.5.3. MPF forwards the medical and dental records to local military treatment facility

for filing. (T-2).

8.19.6. Financial Service Office will coordinate with Defense Finance and Accounting

Service to have member’s Master Military Pay Account updated accordingly. (T-1).

8.20. Commander’s Determination. The action unit commander:

8.20.1. Takes responsibility for disposition of Unauthorized Absence. (T-1).

8.20.2. Reviews case circumstances and consults with JA to determine if the absence was

avoidable or unavoidable. (T-1).

8.20.3. A commander who finds that an absence was:

8.20.3.1. Avoidable, consults with JA and takes appropriate disciplinary action as

warranted. (T-1).

8.20.3.2. Unavoidable, the commander excuses the absence. The period of absence does

not count as lost time to be made good. (T-1). Charge it to leave if not authorized for

another reason (ref: AFI 36-3003, Military Leave Program). A new HR type Personnel

Processing Application AWOL/Deserter Case Management System case is required to

revoke the Unauthorized Absence report. (T-3). Examples of excused absences not

charged to leave include, but are not limited to:

68 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

8.20.3.2.1. When a member's lack of mental capacity causes the absence.

8.20.3.2.2. When civilian law enforcement authorities hold, try and acquit a member.

8.20.4. If a member dies during an Unauthorized Absence, the commander of the unit of

assignment makes a new status determination. (T-2). After considering all available facts, the

commander determines if the member was in duty status, absent on leave, absent without leave,

or a deserter. (T-2).

8.21. Erroneous Reports of Unauthorized Absence. When a commander determines that a

desertion or Unauthorized Absence was reported in error, contact AFPC/DPFCM immediately to

revoke the absence and remove the associated documents from the member’s Master Personnel

Record. (T-1).

8.21.1. If DD Forms 553 and 616 were distributed, another DD Form 616 must be

accomplished. Provide a full explanation of the error in item 9, remarks section, and forwarded

to AFPC/DPFCM. (T-1).

8.21.2. The commander sends new letters explaining the error to the next of kin, dependents,

and others notified of the Unauthorized Absence. (T-1).

8.21.3. An HR type Personnel Processing Application AWOL/Deserter Case Management

System case must be accomplished revoking or changing the HR type Personnel Processing

Application AWOL/Deserter Case Management System case placing member into or

written or electronic, and maintain a trackable record. (T-1).

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 69

8.25. Reporting Unauthorized Absences. The unit to which the member is attached for active

duty coordinates with the home unit before processing the AWOL/Deserter action. (T-1). If

Special Activities Branch (AFPC/DP3SP) or Headquarters USAF Academy, Cadet Accessions

(AFA/A1A) ordered the member to extended active duty, contact the appropriate office

immediately to determine if substantial proofs of delivery of orders exist before taking any

Unauthorized Absence action. (T-1). The unit of assignment completes appropriate actions.

Include the Military Personnel Division, National Guard Bureau, NGB/A1PR (for ANG members)

and the Personnel Utilization Branch, AF Reserve Command, AFRC/A1KK (for AFR members)

Chapter 10 (Added)

*(ADDED) NON-CONTINGENCY TDY STRENGTH ACCOUNTING DUTY STATUS

REPORTING PROCEDURES, MISCELLANEOUS UPDATES, AND PERSTEMPO

TRACKING AND MANAGEMENT

10.1. (Added) Purpose. The Strength Accountability Duty Status Program (SADSP) is the unit

commander’s responsibility; it is event-oriented which encompasses numerous and varied types

of strength accounting duty status conditions. Information in this chapter is provided to assist in

the management and update of non-contingency TDY strength accounting duty status conditions

and conditions not clearly reflected in Attachment 5. Strength Accountability Duty Status

reporting is the keystone of the PERSTEMPO reporting, tracking, and management process. The

PERSTEMPO Events listed in Attachment 6 can and must be reported via the Strength

Accounting Duty Status Program in the personnel system.

10.2. (Added) Background. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2000 requires all

Military Services to track, manage, and report high-deployment events. Service secretaries are

directed to pay service members high-deployment per diem of $100 per day for each day a member

is deployed in excess of 401 days out of the previous 730-day period. (T-0). In addition, the

Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) requires commanders to report and track activities that

do not count for high-deployment per diem, but still keep members away from their homes for 24

hours or more (e.g., individual training, hospitalization, confinement). The primary means to track

high PERSTEMPO events is through accurate and timely strength accounting duty status

reporting. Attachment 6 provides a list of PERSTEMPO Deployment and Non-deployment

Events. Only PERSTEMPO Deployment Events qualify for high-deployment pay. Event tracking

began on 1 October 2000. Note: Effective 8 October 2001, the Deputy Secretary of Defense

suspended the accumulation of deployment days for the purpose of determining eligibility for high

deployment per diem until further notice.

10.3. (Added) Non-Contingency Strength Accounting Duty Status Procedures:.

10.3.1. (Added) Strength accounting duty status conditions are reported when an individual

is or will be projected to be in a strength accounting duty status other than Present for Duty

(PFD) for more than 24 hours. Most Temporary Duty (TDY) strength accounting duty status

conditions are updated prior to the event via Personnel Data System. The idea is to set up the

information-gathering process and then use the information to make timely and accurate duty

status updates. Contingency TDYs (strength accounting duty status Codes 20 or 21) are

updated by the Military Personnel Flight Installation Personnel Readiness (IPR) only.

10.3.2. (Added) Members will out-process through their unit Strength Accounting Duty

Status Program manager the duty day prior to departure for their TDY location. (T-1). The

duty day after the member returns to home station from the TDY location, the member must

in-process though their unit. (T-1).

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 73

10.3.3. (Added) When a member is projected for a TDY, it is imperative the TDY is updated

in a timely and accurate manner. Be sure to use the appropriate codes when updating TDYs

for individuals. These codes will indicate whether a particular TDY will be a PERSTEMPO

deployment or PERSTEMPO non-deployment event. If a code is erroneously updated, it will

affect the calculation of days for the PERSTEMPO threshold. Use Attachment 5 to determine

which duty status code to update.

10.3.4. (Added) Sick in Quarters, strength accounting duty status Code 08, will be used when

a member has been placed in quarters by the Medical Treatment Facility. (T-1). If the

expiration date is unknown, use the best estimate based on the facts available. When future

hospitalization or sick in quarters information is known, project the strength accounting duty

status by using future dates. (T-1). Exception: The Medical Treatment Facility updates

strength accounting duty status Code 13, for members assigned to the hospital in patient status.

10.4. (Added) After-the-Fact Strength Accounting Duty Status Updates. TDY history data

is extremely important to the member and to the Air Force for tracking PERSTEMPO; it is used

to determine entitlements for high-deployment pay. TDY history and the data used to measure

PERSTEMPO are derived from strength accounting duty status. If, for some reason, a TDY

strength accounting duty status was not updated via strength accounting duty status reporting and

the member has subsequently returned from TDY, the data in his/her TDY history record must still

be updated. For contingency TDY history updates, one of the following source documents must

accompany a completed travel voucher to verify the validity of the deployment and a deployment

in support of a named operation:

10.4.1. (Added) Certified Contingency, Exercise, and/or Deployment (CED) Order.

10.4.2. (Added) Certified non-CED Order (e.g., Defense Travel System (DTS) travel order,

DD Form 1610, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Travel Order).

10.4.3. (Added) Approved decoration.

10.4.4. (Added) Performance report.

10.4.5. (Added) Finalized letter of evaluation.

10.4.6. (Added) Unit commander/deployed commander (squadron level or higher) letter

providing justification. Note: All source documents must identify the individual and state the

named operation supported for the duration of the TDY. Source documents must also include

the total inclusive period for the supported deployment, e.g., TDY departure date from home

station, TDY arrival date in theater AOR, TDY departure date from the final deployed location,

and TDY return date to home station. EXAMPLE: “In support of Operation

ENDURING/IRAQI FREEDOM.” After-the-fact TDY History inquiries and requests should

be coordinated through the member’s Military Personnel Flight first. For requests not meeting

the above criteria, the IPR obtains approval from the Force Support Squadron (FSS) Operations

Officer (FSS/OPSO) to update the TDY History. The FSS/OPSO has approval authority;

however, AFPC/DPA or ARPC/DPA (for ARC) are the final disapproval authority.

74 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

10.5. (Added) Personnel Tempo (PERSTEMPO) and Tempo Management Tracking

System (TMTS):

10.5.1. (Added) PERSTEMPO Events reported though the Duty Status Reporting Program

and from travel voucher data are compiled at AFPC and made part of the Personnel Data

System record. AFPC/DP2W is required to provide this data to the Defense Manpower Data

Center (DMDC) and others upon request. Duty status data input at base level is collected at

AFPC as part of the military Personnel Data System record –often referred to as the TDY

History File.

10.5.2. (Added) Duty status data is augmented with travel voucher data provided to AFPC

by the AF financial services offices. Travel voucher data comes from three travel systems and

is used to build a TDY entry into the personnel record when a duty status entry was not

received, to adjust the start and stop dates for the duty status entries with overlapping dates,

and to adjust service date periods for TDYs served overseas.

10.5.3. (Added) Travel systems have been modified to collect and forward TEMPO codes to

AFPC. These codes can be used to determine if the trip does or does not count towards the

PERSTEMPO threshold.

10.5.4. (Added) AFI 65-103, Temporary Duty/Special Orders, has been changed requiring

TEMPO codes be added to TDY orders. Travel computations systems have been changed to

collect and forward these codes to AFPC.

10.5.5. Travel data is provided to AFPC after the PERSTEMPO Events have been terminated.

PERSTEMPO management must be done before the event occurs. MPF or CSS must use the

Duty Status Reporting program to report the SADS change.

10.5.6. (Added) PERSTEMPO Events data received by AFPC will be available on AFPC

Secure via the Tempo Management and Tracking System (TMTS). (T-0). This data will serve

as the official record of accumulated threshold days and the data sources used to manage

individual PERSTEMPO. Data displayed in this application was received from CSS and MPF

duty status updates and from travel voucher data received from the Air Force financial services

offices.

10.6. (Added) Permissions. There are six distinct user groups authorized access to TMTS.

10.6.1. (Added) All military personnel. This group includes all Regular Airmen and

Guardians, Reserve and Guard personnel. They are authorized access to their accumulated

PERSTEMPO Events information. If they find errors in the data, they can have it changed by

their CSS or MPF, by providing a source document showing the data is incorrect (e.g., paid

travel voucher).

10.6.2. (Added) Commander’s Support Staff and Military Personnel Flight personnel.

Individuals assigned to a CSS or MPF with permissions to Personnel Data System are

authorized to view, add, change, and delete individual PERSTEMPO Events in TMTS. The

records you have access to in TMTS are the same ones you have access to on your Personnel

Data System access. Note: you should verify PERSTEMPO Events data against source

documents (travel vouchers, TDY orders, etc.) before making additions, deletions, or changes

to the PERSTEMPO Events. Changes made to events in TMTS will alter the service member’s

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 75

Personnel Data System record. All changes to these events will be registered in a log file and

will include identification of the person who made the change. (T-1).

10.6.3. (Added) Personnel assigned to the Air Staff. All individuals assigned to the Air Staff

will be able to see PERSTEMPO Events for all Regular Airmen and Guardian records in

TMTS.

10.6.4. (Added) Personnel assigned to MAJCOM or Field Command Staffs. Individuals

assigned to MAJCOM or Field Command staffs are authorized to read the PERSTEMPO

Events data for Regular Airmen and Guardian personnel assigned within their MAJCOMs.

Personnel assigned to the Air Force Reserve Command staff will have read access to the TMTS

records for all unit Reserve personnel. (T-1).

10.6.5. (Added) Personnel assigned to the Air National Guard Headquarters. Individuals

assigned to the Air National Guard Headquarters (MAJCOM ID “21”) are authorized read

access to the TMTS records of all Air National Guard personnel.

10.6.6. (Added) Trusted Users. This group was created to provide read permissions to TMTS

records for personnel who are assigned “outside” the Air Force where it is necessary to

centrally manage PERSTEMPO. Agencies requiring Trusted Users should advise

AFPC/DP2WR and include the names of the Trusted Users and the Personnel Accounting

System (PAS) codes for the individuals they need TMTS record access to.

10.7. (Added) Tempo Management Tracking System (TMTS) Capabilities. TMTS offers a

number of capabilities to help commanders and their support staffs determine who will exceed or

have exceeded the PERSTEMPO threshold policy. These capabilities include various inquiries to

show the PERSTEMPO Events for one, some, or all individuals assigned. Individuals assigned to

CSSs and MPFs with access to the Personnel Data System have the capability to add, delete, or

change/update PERSTEMPO Events.

10.7.1. (Added) TDY Calculator. This feature provides the capability to determine if a

future/projected PERSTEMPO Event will cause an individual to cross the threshold. The

process works by adding the number of days to the future trip to the number of days already

accumulated and computing the total accumulation on a 365-day calendar from the end of the

projected event. If the threshold will be crossed, the unit must acquire the concurrence of a

general officer before the member proceeds on the trip.

10.7.2. (Added) Individual Inquiry. Using this capability, the user can see and add, change,

or delete PERSTEMPO Events of one individual. Indicate the name of the individual record

you wish to see and a screen will appear showing a row for each PERSTEMPO Event. The

screen will show all events (those that count toward the threshold and those that do not). If

there are no events on file, the screen will appear, but there will be no PERSTEMPO data

shown. Those with the update capabilities can add PERSTEMPO Events that for some reason

were not reported via duty status reporting.

10.7.3. (Added) Group Inquiry. Provides the user PERSTEMPO Event data on all records

they have access to. This feature has several subordinate capabilities to help the user focus on

individuals who have crossed the PERSTEMPO threshold.

76 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

10.7.4. (Added) Add PERSTEMPO Events. CSS and MPF personnel use this capability to

add a PERSTEMPO Event that was not previously reported. To add a PERSTEMPO Event,

click the Add Data button at the bottom of TMTS Individual Data screen and the Add Data

screen will appear. Fill in the duty status, TDY Start Date, TDY Stop Date, Travel Voucher

Number, and the Travel Order Number blocks, and then click the Submit button to add the

event. TMTS will add the event and calculate the total number of days for this individual. The

duty status code used when adding a PERSTEMPO event determines if the event counts

towards the threshold days.

10.7.5. (Added) Delete a PERSTEMPO Event. CSS and MPF personnel use this capability

to delete PERSTEMPO Events from a member’s record. To use this feature, merely click on

the delete button next to the event you wish to delete. Once clicked, you will receive a notice

asking for confirmation to delete. By answering “OK,” the event will be permanently deleted

from the record.

10.7.6. (Added) Update a PERSTEMPO Event. CSS and MPF personnel use this capability

to make updates/changes to individual PERSTEMPO Events. To use this function, click the

Update Data button at the bottom of the Individual Data screen. Next, a screen listing all

PERSTEMPO Events will appear. Click the button labeled “Update” which is next to the

PERSTEMPO Event you wish to change. Once clicked, the Update Data screen will be

displayed. On this screen, you can change the duty status reason, TDY Start, and TDY Stop

Dates, Travel Voucher Number, and the Travel Order Number. Changes made through this

process will instantly update the PERSTEMPO Event.

10.8. (Added) Add, Update or Delete Events in TMTS. TMTS was developed to track all Air

Force PERSTEMPO events. It is a total force web-based application that displays all events

reported through strength accounting duty status updates and travel vouchers sent by finance

offices. This tracking system has the capability to pinpoint individuals who accumulate high-

deployment management/pay thresholds. TMTS also allows Military Personnel Sections (MPS)

and units to add, update, and delete events that were or were not captured by a strength accounting

duty status update. Strength accounting duty status updates are imperative to the success of

tracking events through TMTS and key to helping commanders comply with Burdensome Tempo

management policies. Without the initial update from the personnel community, commanders at

all levels have no way to monitor the availability of their personnel. In addition, without these

updates, TMTS becomes an historical database instead of a real-time monitoring tool. TMTS

displays all TDY related events to include contingency deployment TDYs, (strength accounting

duty status Codes 20 and 21); only non-contingency deployment TDYs can be updated, corrected,

or deleted by using TMTS. Contingency deployment TDYs can only be updated by FSS/IPR

personnel through Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segments and Personnel

Data System. Every person of every component of the USAF can view their own TDY history in

TMTS by visiting the AFPC secure web site at AFPCSecure 4.0 - Check Portal

10.9. (Added) Special Access. Special TMTS access can be granted to commanders, strength

accounting duty status managers, MAJCOMs, Field Commands, etc., on a case-by-case basis by

e-mailing the AFPC/DP2WR inbox at [email protected]. Special access is

usually reserved for personnel, whose duties include verifying, tracking, updating, correcting, and

deleting TDY events in TMTS that do not have access to Personnel Data System. T hree different

types of special access are available. They are Unit level access (View and Update) capability;

MPS level access (View and Update) capability; and Command level access (View/Inquiry Only)

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 77

capability. When submitting requests for special access users must supply their: full name, access

level required, unit(s) PAS code(s) required or MPS/MAJCOM or Field Command ID, and a brief

explanation/justification of duties required for TMTS access support.

10.10. (Added) Leave in Conjunction with Another Strength Accounting Duty Status.

10.10.1. (Added) Leave in Conjunction with a Routine TDY. Adjust the start date and/or

number of days if a member was projected for a TDY of which the leave will be taken outside

the local area at the beginning or end of the TDY. If leave is to be taken within the local area,

follow procedures outlined in AFI 36-3003.

10.10.2. (Added) Leave in Conjunction with a Contingency TDY. IPR will follow

appropriate combatant commander guidance for processing leave in conjunction with a

contingency TDY. (T-1). If leave will be taken within the local area prior to deployment,

follow procedures outlined in AFI 36-3003. If leave is taken within the local area upon

completion of the deployment, follow procedures outlined by individual MAJCOMs in Post

Deployment Stand-down Policy.

10.10.3. (Added) Consecutive Overseas Tour (COT) and In-Place COT (IPCOT) leave.

Personnel who do not use COT leave during their permanent change of station must use this

leave within 1 year. A DD Form 1610 is used to facilitate this process. Unlike ordinary leave,

when an AF Form 988, Leave Request/Authorization, is processed by the local financial service

office (FSO), COT leave is not processed by the local FSO until after the leave has been taken.

This creates a situation where the member is in strength accounting duty status Code 00, PFD,

when they are, in fact, on leave. Commanders’ support staffs will update strength accounting

duty status Code 14, Not PFD -Other, on personnel taking COT/IPCOT leave not in

conjunction with their PCS move. (T-1). Upon return from COT/IPCOT leave and subsequent

filing of the travel voucher, the member’s leave will be charged.

10.10.4. (Added) Convalescent Leave. Authorized personnel going on convalescent leave

for prescribed recuperation are not in a chargeable leave status. When an AF Form 988 is

accomplished, units will update the member’s strength accounting duty status Code to 14. (T-

1).

10.10.5. (Added) Emergency Leave from Overseas. Use AF Form 972, Request and

Authorization for Emergency Leave Travel, in accordance with AFI 36-3003, and Defense

Finance and Accounting System (DFAS) Defense Entitlement Manual (DEM) 7073-2, Unit

Leave Procedures, Chapter 7, for members authorized funded emergency travel. Emergency

leave is travel-generated leave processed after the fact on an AF Form 985, Report of Travel

Time/Leave, and accomplished by the local FSO travel section. In addition, units or MPS will

update strength accounting duty status Code 14 in these instances to maintain accountability.

(T-1).

10.10.6. (Added) Not PFD at Home Station (strength accounting duty status Code 14). For

personnel attending professional military education (PME), performing resource augmentation

(READY) or correctional custody duty, on a contingency pass (days off as a result of a

deployment), or another event which makes a person not PFD within their assigned unit at their

home station, update strength accounting duty status Code 14. Strength accounting duty status

Code 14 does not impact the TDY history or accumulator files and is not counted towards

high-deployment pay. Note: Strength accounting duty status Code 14 should only be updated

78 DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019

as a current change in the person’s strength accounting duty status and not projected. If

strength accounting duty status Code 14 is projected, it will not consummate on the effective

date.

10.11. (Added) Management of PERSTEMPO. It is the commander’s responsibility to

manage PERSTEMPO within their units by using the tracking system available on AFPC Secure.

They must ensure all TDYs are reported to CSS personnel so they can be updated in the Personnel

Data System and flowed into the calculator.

10.11.1. (Added) Commanders must make every effort to avoid sending members on TDYs

that count towards the threshold that would ultimately prevent them from supporting AF Force

Generation (AFFORGEN) requirements. (T-0). Not only will commanders have accessibility

to the tracking system, members will also be able to check their own PERSTEMPO record on

AFPC Secure. This is a key link in the data validation process.

10.11.2. (Added) Threshold Waiver Authorities. A waiver of the threshold will be requested

prior to a member exceeding the threshold days. (T-0). The Secretary of the Air Force may

grant waivers to the threshold. Approval authority for waivers may be further delegated in

writing by not below the level of a one-star general, flag officer, or senior executive service-

equivalent (SES), in the member’s chain of command.

10.11.3. (Added) Threshold. DoD established a uniform, DoD-wide PERSTEMPO

deployment event threshold of 400 days out of the preceding 730 days. An Airman’s or

Guardian’s commander must request and obtain approval from the first general officer or SES

in the chain of command to allow a member to cross that threshold. (T-1).

10.11.3.1. (Added) Commanders are responsible for timely and accurate information

ensuring members do not proceed on TDYs over the threshold without appropriate general

officer/SES approval. (T-0).

10.11.3.2. (Added) TDY orders will not be processed for individuals crossing the

threshold until appropriate approval is received. (T-0).

10.11.4. (Added) Documentation and Disposition of Threshold Letters. Copies of all

threshold approval letters will be distributed by the CSS to the member, unit commander, any

intermediate general officer authority, and respective finance office (for pay level only). (T-

0). The CSS will also be place a copy in the member’s Personnel Information File (PIF) at the

unit for AF Inspection Agency or Audit Agency reviews. (T-0). PERSTEMPO information

from the PIF must be forwarded to the member’s gaining unit upon reassignment by the CSS.

(T-0).

10.11.5. (Added) Verification Procedures. To ensure PERSTEMPO events are recorded

properly, Airmen and Guardians must follow paragraph 10.3.2. (T-1). If the projection for

the TDY is updated in MilPDS and the member files their completed travel voucher, the system

edits will validate the TDY. If the voucher is filed without a projection in MilPDS, this creates

what is called an “X” record and a remark will appear on the daily transaction register in the

MPF and/or unit. The MPF and/or unit will work with the member to correct the information

in MilPDS following the steps outlined in paragraph 10.8. (T-1).

DAFI36-3802 9 JANUARY 2019 79

10.11.6. (Added) Appeals of threshold data. Onus of accuracy of PERSTEMPO data is upon

the member and they must provide documentation to support any changes to MilPDS.

Documentation can be but are not limited to TDY orders, voucher and/or decoractions.

Members will provide these documents to the MPF and/or unit. (T-1). The MPF and/or unit

will follow the steps outline in paragraph 10.7.4, paragraph 10.7.5, or paragraph 10.7.6.
