1. Per REF A, the Personnel Service Center, Reserve Personnel Management
Division (PSC-RPM), manages the following long-term, non-contingency
ADOS:
   a. Long-term ADOS-AC authorized by CG-8 for a given fiscal year as
part of the annual ceiling. Fiscal year ADOS-AC ceilings were announced
by REF B.
   b. Long-term ADOS-AC authorized by CG-8 in support of an approved
reimbursable agreement.
   c. Long-term ADOS-RC authorized by CG-R82.
2. The long-term non-contingency ADOS assignment process mirrors the
established permanent change of station (PCS) assignment process and
is managed within Direct Access. Procedures for long-term non-contingency ADOS are outlined
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 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-R82 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, the unit
may submit a “Long-term Non-Contingency ADOS Request for Personnel
Support” form to: ARL-SMB-LTNon-ContingencyADOS(at)uscg.mil. ADOS cap
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 under the “ADOS Requestor”
section: https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-Human-
Resources-CG-1/Personnel-Service-Center-PSC/Reserve-Personnel-Management-PSC-
RPM/RPM-2/ADOS-Management/.
     (3) If the same non-contingency, non-reimbursable ADOS requirement will exist for
three consecutive years, then the sponsoring unit or program shall submit a waiver request to
CG-R to continue resourcing the requirement as outlined in article 10.c. of REF A.
     (4) The sponsoring unit or program must completely exhaust all alternatives to filling an
ADOS requirement prior to submitting a waiver request for a reservist they elect as a by-name-
candidate who requires a waiver (e.g., 16/18 years active duty, age 60, etc.) IAW article 10.c. of
REF A.
   b. ADOS Applicant responsibilities:
     (1) All applicants, including those currently on long-term
non-contingency ADOS, shall follow this application guidance.
     (2) Interested applicants shall apply for ADOS positions in Direct Access Mobilization
System.
     (3) ADOS applicants must comply with the requirements outlined
in article 10.d. of REF A, to include obtaining any waiver approvals (e.g., 16/18 years active
duty, age 60, etc.) within the required timeframe.
     (4) All applicants must obtain Command approval via Direct Access Mobilization System
prior to being considered for long-term non-contingency ADOS.
     (5) Reservists accepting ADOS orders must contact their
Assignment Officer (AO) to inform them of their assignment status. For
AO contact information, see PSC-RPM website: https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-
Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-Human-Resources-CG-1/Personnel-Service-Center-
PSC/Reserve-Personnel-Management-PSC-RPM/RPM-2/, under the “Points of Contact” section.
     (6) IAW with REF A, reservists on long-term ADOS must compete for
assignment to a permanent position on PAL as part of the deactivation
process. Reservists who fail to compete will be released from active
duty to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) until successfully competing
for an assignment to a permanent reserve position on PAL.
     (7) Reserve members, particularly officers, must carefully
weigh long-term career considerations, including potential impact on
SELRES assignments, against short-term benefits of performing ADOS, and
are encouraged to contact their AO for assignment guidance.
   c. PSC-RPM responsibilities:
     (1) Solicit applications for all funded ADOS positions via
Direct Access Mobilization System.
     (2) Input position data, position requirements and unit POC
information into Direct Access Mobilization System.
     (3) Create a slate of candidates based on Direct Access Mobilization System applicants.
PSC-RPM assignment officers will use the criteria outlined in article 10.h. of REF A to assign
members to long-term non-contingency ADOS on a best-qualified basis from among candidates
responding to Coast Guard-wide solicitations.
     (4) Notify members Servicing Personnel Office (SPO), drilling
unit, and the sponsoring unit of the selection.
     (5) Provide applicable information to the members SPO to create
ADOS orders in conjunction with the ADOS assignment.
     (6) Function as final authorizing official for long-term non-
contingency ADOS orders.
