SUBJ: FY23 LONG-TERM ACTIVE DUTY FOR OPERATIONAL SUPPORT OF THE
ACTIVE COMPONENT (ADOS-AC) CEILING
A. Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS), COMDTINST 1330.1E
B. Financial Resource Management Manual (FRMM), COMDTINST M7100.3F
C. Reserve Policy Manual, COMDTINST M1001.28D
1. This ALCOAST announces the FY23 long-term Active Duty for
Operational Support (ADOS) caps as well as designated Cap Managers.
2. In accordance with REF (A), ADOS is defined as full-time duty of
a temporary nature under 10 U.S.C. Section 12301(d) for purposes
other than training. Long-term ADOS is defined as any period of
ADOS that exceeds 180 consecutive days in duration. Short-term ADOS
is defined as any period of ADOS that is 180 consecutive days or
less in duration. REF (A) further defines the purpose of ADOS as
providing the necessary skilled manpower to temporarily support
existing or emerging requirements of the Coast Guard Active
Component (AC).
3. For internal control purposes, a ceiling is maintained on long
-term ADOS-AC to manage the funding and full-time equivalent (FTE)
associated with reserve personnel voluntarily ordered to active
duty. One FTE is equivalent to one reservist on active duty for one
year. In FY23, the total ceiling for long-term ADOS-AC will be
capped at 100 FTE. Sponsoring units are required to fund payroll
expense and reimburse the HQ centrally managed account for the
associated non-payroll costs for each reservist in accordance with
paragraph 10 below. Additionally, travel and Permanent Change of
Station (PCS) entitlements associated with the ADOS-AC period are
the financial responsibility of the sponsoring unit.
4. The ability to resource long-term ADOS may vary from year to
year based on the criteria of paragraph 3 of this ALCOAST. Units
with long-term personnel resource needs should consider other
resources from within their base, or developing an on-budget
resource proposal to meet their requirement.
5. Exemptions: The following types of ADOS-AC are exempt from the
FY23 ceiling and allocations described in this message.
a. Short-term ADOS-AC: Short-term orders must not exceed 180
days total whether as a single set of orders or consecutive sets of
orders. Consecutive short-term orders must have a break of 31 days
or more between each set of orders, unless a waiver has been
authorized in accordance with REF (A).
b. Enduring Overseas Missions (EOM): Reservists recalled to long
-term ADOS-AC for these operations are supported by funding specific
to those missions. Contact your appropriate Area Title 10 manager
or COMDT (CG-ODO) with questions pertaining to EOM allocations.
c. Extended Active Duty (EAD): Reservists recalled to active
duty to fill an active duty position on the Personnel Allowance
List (PAL) enter into an EAD contract with the Coast Guard. This
process is managed by Office of Strategic Workforce Planning and HR
Analytics, COMDT (CG-126) and CG Personnel Service Center
(CG PSC-OPM and CG PSC-EPM).
d. Reimbursable positions: Programs that recall reservists for
long-term ADOS to fill a reimbursable position must follow
established reimbursable billet procedures. POC: Ms. Rochita
Jackson, COMDT (CG-835). Procedures are located at:

e. Other Coast Guard appropriations: Any ADOS-AC funded from an
appropriation other than the Operations and Support (O&S)
appropriation must be approved by COMDT (CG-831) prior to issuance
of orders.
6. FY23 ADOS-AC ceiling: Atlantic Area, Pacific Area, COMDTs
(CG-DCMS), (CG-DCO), and (CG-8) must stay within their allocated
ADOS-AC ceiling, which is listed in paragraph 8 of this ALCOAST.
Resource Advisory staffs are authorized to further distribute all
or a portion of their allocation to subordinate units.
7. Upon ADOS-AC ceiling approval, Cap Managers must provide
required data to COMDT (CG-832) for long-term ADOS position
creation. Cap Managers must also provide ADOS position requirements
to CG PSC-RPM for solicitation. Once a candidate has been
identified and approved for assignment, CG PSC-RPM will process the
PCS assignment of the reservist to the long-term, temporary ADOS
position and provide relevant information to the member's command
/Servicing Personnel Office for completion of ADOS orders IAW long
-term, non­ contingency ADOS assignment processes. Per REF (A),
there are limitations and requirements for members who accumulate
over 14 years of total active duty service. Please see paragraph
10d(l)(e)(l-3) of REF (A) for these restrictions and the associated
waiver process. Commands are advised that funding reservists who
complete over 18 years total active duty service and reach
retirement sanctuary under 10 U.S.C. Section 12686 become the
financial responsibility of the unit that recalled them on orders
when they passed through the sanctuary gate until the reservist
reaches regular retirement (i.e., 20 years active duty). Once a
reservist reaches sanctuary, they obtain regular retirement.
8. Cap Managers:
a. Atlantic Area: 20 long-term ADOS positions.
POC: LT Jessica L. Snyder
b. Pacific Area: 20 long-term ADOS positions.

9. Funding: Sponsoring units must provide FY23 accounting line that
will fund the pay and non-pay as stated in the standard personnel
cost (SPC) to the POCs listed above. Specific accounting guidance
will be provided through the cap managers. Provided accounting will
be placed on the ADOS positions so actual payroll expense will
direct expense to the accounting. After orders have been executed,
COMDT (CG-832) will transfer funds from the identified accounts for
non-payroll costs. To determine those costs, a unique ADOS SPC
worksheet has been developed on the COMDT (CG-834) Portal, located
at:
