SUBJ: SOLICITATION FOR AY19 PATFORSWA AFLOAT AND ASHORE 
A. Military Assignments and Authorized Absences, COMDTINST M1000.8A 
B. Personnel and Pay Procedures Manual, PPCINST M1000.2 (series) 
C. Coast Guard Personnel Service Center Instruction 1300
1. BACKGROUND: OPM is soliciting for officers interested in afloat and 
ashore assignments in the Patrol Forces Southwest Asia (PATFORSWA) operational 
theater. All ashore assignments and WPB CO/XO positions are open to men and 
women. Due to berthing configurations, WPB Operations Officer positions will 
likely be limited to male candidates. Female officers may still apply for these 
positions and if berthing for a particular cutter allows for an assignment of 
a female officer, they may be considered.
2. DISCUSSION: These challenging and demanding one year tours of duty are 
dependent restricted PCS assignments. Highly motivated officers applying for 
PATFORSWA should expect high optempo duty in support of a highly visible 
national defense mission. Officers selected for this opportunity will be 
required to attend pre-deployment training (PDT). PDT lasts approximately 
4-5 weeks based on the requirements of the billet assigned. Deployment to 
PATFORSWA will occur between Apr - Jun 2019 with the exception of the 
Admin/Pers Officer position (PERS CWO) who will report OOA 1 November 2019. 
Actual report dates are set by the Admin Officer at PATFORSWA.  Each billet 
requires a 14 day overlap between the arriving and departing officer to ensure 
successful orientation and mission accomplishment.
3. POSITION INFORMATION: Officer positions are being advertised in 
Direct Access for PATFORSWA shoreside billets, six WPBs, and the WPB 
relief CO/XO. Desired skill sets for these billets include law enforcement, 
naval engineering, training, admin, finance, procurement, intelligence, 
operations afloat, and operations ashore. A detailed description of duties 
for each of these positions may be found on the OPM-2 portal webpage at 
https://cgportal2.uscg.mil/units/psc/opm-2/SitePages/Home.aspx
