1. Welcome to Assignment Year 2022 (AY22). This message describes the AY22
timeline and presents informational resources available to all Reserve Component
Managers (RCMs). While the information provided in this message will be of
particular interest to RCMs anticipating reassignment in AY22, it also includes
important information to commands and supervisors. Communication will continue
to be a key factor in the overall success of the Assignment Year, and PSC-RPM is
excited to begin our second assignment year serving our RCM Corps.
2. New for AY22: In March of 2021, the Assistant Commandant for Reserve (CG-R)
published the inaugural RCM Officer Career Guide, Ref A, and emailed it to all
RCMs. RPM Assignment Officers (AOs) will use this document as programmatic
guidance for AY22.
3. A complete listing of all boards and panels, including eligibility criteria,
can be found in Refs B and C. PSC utilizes Ref D for assignment tour length. In
select cases, officer tour lengths may be extended or reduced based on Service
need. All requests to short-tour or extend must include a Command endorsement
with backfill requirements.
4. The AY22 timetable is as follows:
A. Now thru 13 Aug 2021: RPM AOs available for RCM career counseling and e-resume
guidance.
B. OOA 25 Jun: Draft AY22 RCM shopping list published on PSC-RPM Portal Page for
command concerns validation. Provided in a spreadsheet format, the AY22
shopping list will allow units and/or directorates to view all RCM-coded
positions and email command concerns for any RCM position. Tour lengths are
also included for each position. RPM will release specific instructions for
command concern email submission and validation SEPCOR.
C. 23 Jul: Deadline for commands to validate AY22 shopping list and submit
command concerns.
D. 02 Aug: AY22 RCM shopping list released.
E. 01 Sep: E-resume submission deadline for all RCMs.
F. 01 Nov: Requested submission deadline to PSC-OPM-1 for any RCMs asking to
voluntarily separate in AY22 who are NOT tour complete. Members should
communicate any off-season retirement plans with their detailer to ensure
that PSC-RPM can identify a suitable backfill.
G. 07-10 Dec: O6 Assignment Panel.
H. 25-27 Jan: O5 Assignment Panel.
I. 01 Apr: All O4 and below assignments completed.
5. Meeting the E-resume submission deadline will ensure that all RCMs are afforded
full competition to all positions applied for, including both in and out of RCM
program opportunities.
6. Special considerations for RCM Captains and RCM Commanders in zone for selection
to Captain in PY22:
A. Due to the dynamic nature of O-6 assignments, RCM Captains and RCM Commanders
in zone for promotion should ensure updated biographies are provided to the O-6 RCM
AO. Email bios directly to Mr. Jody Nunnery at Jody.M.Nunnery@uscg.mil. Because
bios need to be in standard format for the O6 ADPL Assignment Panel managed by
PSC-OPM, O6 RCMs should utilize the template found in Ref E.
B. RCM Commanders in zone for selection to Captain in PY22, even if not tour
complete in AY22, should submit an E-resume with Captain positions by the 01 Sep
submission deadline.
7. Career Counseling: RPM AOs will conduct career counseling for all RCM officers
who are tour complete or anticipate transferring in AY22. Career counseling for
all officers who are not tour complete or do not anticipate transferring in AY22
may be scheduled as time permits or in the off-season. PSC-RPM will incorporate
guidance with sub-specialty breakdown from CG-R found in Ref A into their career
counseling.
