SUBJ: UPDATE 1- RESCISSION OF COVID-19 VACCINATION MANDATE – GUIDANCE FOR RESERVE
OFFICER AND ENLISTED MEMBERS
A. ALCGRSV 003/23
B. ALCOAST 270/22
1. This ALCGRSV provides additional guidance, beyond what was initially
provided in Reference A, on three key issues: Reserve Component Category (RCC)
change requests, ability to accept active duty orders, and assignments for
reaffiliating members.
2. RCC change requests: the prohibition in paragraph 2 of Reference B is removed.
Unvaccinated reservists are authorized to submit an RCC change request.
3. Active duty orders: the prohibition in paragraph 2 of Reference B is removed.
Unvaccinated reservists are authorized to be issued voluntary active duty orders
of any type.
4. Selected Reserve (SELRES) Reaffiliation: Reserve officers and enlisted members
in the ISL seeking to reaffiliate with the Ready Reserve shall submit an RCC
change form (CG-1001) from the ISL to the IRR, as the first step. ISL members
desiring a SELRES assignment shall annotate their intention in block 19 of the
CG-1001 form. ISL members should submit completed forms to PSC-RPM-3 at:

HQS-SMB-CGPSC-rpm-3-Query@uscg.mil

Please note that members being transferred from the ISL to the Ready Reserve
will not receive back pay or participation credit.
5. Reserve Officer and Enlisted Assignments for Members Requesting Reaffiliation:
PSC-RPM-2 will evaluate whether the member's previous assignment and tour
completion date can be restored. This may not be possible in every case and new
assignment options will be provided with the goal to be as close to Reasonable
Commuting Distance as possible without exceeding unit training capacity.
6. Commands with questions or concerns regarding this guidance should be
directed to the POCs below:
A. PSC-RPM-1 Reserve Boards/Promotions, Separations, Advancements, and
Evaluations: CDR Jesse Webster at Jesse.D.Webster@uscg.mil or (202) 795-6525.
