1. This message announces the AY20 Reserve assignment
season kickoff and provides important guidelines and
information for Reserve Chief Warrant Officers (CWOs) and
Senior Enlisted personnel (E7-E9) competing for
assignment, their command cadre or supervisors, and reserve
personnel at large. Supplemental information on the
assignment process, including The Reserve CWO Assignment
Guide and The Reserve Senior Enlisted (E7-E9) Assignment
Guide, is available on the PSC-RPM website:
http://www.dcms.uscg.mil/psc/rpm/rpm-2/Assignments.
Request widest dissemination of this message.
2. Shopping lists: PSC-RPM-2 is developing and validating
AY20 shopping lists, which will identify anticipated
billet vacancies. Updates will be published on the PSC-
RPM website.
    a. Validation: Commencing 1 Sep 19, unit commanders
should verify the accuracy and status of each reserve
position on their PAL as reflected in Direct Access (DA),
along with anticipated vacancies. The Command Concerns
process guide is located on the PSC-RPM website denoted
in paragraph 1. Select the "Command Concerns link after
expanding the "RPM-2" tab on the left.  Submit
discrepancies or comments to the appropriate PSC-RPM
Assignment Officer (AO) via Command  Concerns by 13 Oct
19.
    b. Availability: Shopping lists will be released
OOA 14 Nov 19.
3. AY20 Assignment Candidate Pool:
    a. The primary candidate pool consists of members
reported in DA as tour complete in 2020, members who will
change Reserve Component Category (RCC) to Selected
Reserve (SELRES), members advanced to E7 prior to the e-
resume submission deadline noted in paragraph 9, members
in reprogrammed positions, members projected to be
released from active duty, and members in billets with
more than one member assigned. This includes Reserve
Chief Warrant Officers and senior enlisted personnel
serving on long-term Active Duty for Operational Support
(ADOS) who desire a SELRES assignment following their
release from active duty. PSC-RPM-2 will track additions
and deletions to the pool created by promotions,
advancements, separations, position reprogramming and
other actions.
    b. Members serving on long-term ADOS orders that
terminate at any time during 2020 are highly encouraged
to apply for assignment. Members who do not apply for
assignment will be transferred to the Individual Ready
Reserve (IRR) and may participate in the AY21 assignment
cycle.
    c. PSC-RPM will adhere to tour completion dates when
considering assignments. Members generally will not
rotate prior to completion of their tours. However, early
rotations are sometimes necessary to meet Service needs.
4. Reasonable Commuting Distance (RCD): REF A, Article
5.C. describes policy regarding RCD. As a member becomes
more senior, opportunities for assignment within RCD
become increasingly scarce. If a member wants to continue
to serve in a SELRES status, the member should consider
assignments beyond RCD.
5. Members who will voluntarily accept orders beyond RCD
shall include the following statement in their e-resume
member comments: “I, (rank and name) on (date), understand
the Reasonable Commuting Distance (RCD) policy stipulated
in COMDTINST M1001.28 (series), and will voluntarily accept
orders beyond RCD.”
6. Members who decline orders are subject to a transfer
to the IRR, Standby Reserve, or may request retirement or
separation, IAW REF A, Article 5.A.10. Members who do not
successfully compete for an AY20 assignment will be
transferred to the IRR and may compete in AY21. Members who
do not submit an e-resume IAW paragraph 9 will be
transferred to the IRR and may compete for an AY21 assignment.
7. For e-resume guidance refer to the CG PPC DA II
website at:
http://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Portals/10/CG-
1/PPC/GUIDES/GP/SelfService/Member/Se
lf%20Service%20-%20eResume.pdf.
To ensure that an e-resume endorsement is completed on
time, members should notify their command when an e-
resume requiring command endorsement has been submitted.
The current version of DA will not notify the endorser of
the request and does not allow late e-resume submission.
8. For assignment guidance refer to the PSC-RPM website
denoted in paragraph 1.
