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:

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. 
(2) Once funding and position number(s) are acquired, the unit 
must submit a “Long-term Non-Contingency ADOS Request for Personnel 
Support” form to: ARL-SMB-LTNon-ContingencyADOS@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-

(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 when 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.

       (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

       (1) Solicit applications for all funded ADOS positions via 
Direct Access Mobilization System.
       (2) Input position data, position requirements and unit POC

to long-term non-contingency ADOS on a best-qualified basis from 
among candidates responding to Coast Guard-wide solicitations.
