SUBJ: FY25 WORKFORCE PLANNING TEAMS MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
1. This ALCOAST announces the FY25 Military and Civilian Workforce
Planning Team (WPT) meetings. The WPT, consisting of the Military
Workforce Planning Team (MWPT) for both active duty and reserve

meet to identify and evaluate intervention strategies for
recruiting, retention, and specialty management for implementation
in FY25. The Special Duty and Assignment Pay Panel will meet
separately in April 2024. A separate Special Duty Pay/Assignment
Pay (SDP/AP) ALCOAST will announce more details.
2. The WPTs will consider workforce intervention strategies using
cross-programmatic input to maximize effectiveness of available
resources as well as non-monetary strategies in order to recruit
and retain the best talent for a Mission Ready Total Workforce
(MRTW). This comprehensive review of intervention strategies is
necessary to Transform our Total Workforce, Sharpen Our Competitive
Edge, and Advance Our Mission Excellence to meet the demands of
America's most complex maritime challenges.

convene on the following dates:
     a. Q1 meetings for CWPT/MWPT will not be held.

submitting non-monetary/monetary interventions and SDP/AP requests.
     c. Q3 CWPT/MWPT meetings will convene between 06-17 MAY 24.

gather lessons-learned for implementation during the FY26 WPT
planning cycle.
