Reserve Component Managers (RCMs). The information provided will be
of particular interest to RCMs anticipating AY26 reassignment, it

Communication is the key factor in the overall Assignment Year
success, and PSC-RPM is committed to serving our RCM Corps.
2. A complete listing of all boards and panels, including eligibility

assignment tour length. In select cases, officer tour lengths may be
extended or reduced based on Service need. All requests to short-tour
or extend must include a Command endorsement with backfill
requirements.
