below.
     a. ADOS Requestor responsibilities:
       (1) The ADOS requestor acquires funding from CG-8 as
per REF B.  IAW REF A, the sponsoring unit or program is
responsible for all ADOS costs, such as, pay and benefits,
travel and per diem, and permanent change of station (PCS)
transfer costs (when applicable).  Per REF B requestors must
work with their respective ADOS cap managers to request ADOS
position creation from CG-8 and submit the approved and
funded ADOS requirements to PSC-RPM-2.  A valid position
number is critical to the ADOS request, as it ensures that
funding has been approved by CG-8 for ADOS-AC or by CG-131
for ADOS-RC.  ADOS requestors are required to contact their
ADOS cap manager, as identified in REF B.
       (2) Once funding and position number(s) are acquired,

managers may submit this information on the requestor’s
behalf.  Allow a minimum of 75 days in advance of the
requested start date for sufficient 
processing.  The form is available on the PSC RPM-2 website:
