Individual Augmentation Management
1–1. Purpose
This manual establishes procedural guidance to the individual augmentation managers at major Army commands
(MACOMs) level with regard to request and the tasking of individuals to meet combatant command and Army service
component command temporary individual augmentation requirements in support of National Command Authorities
(NCA) directed operations.

1–2. References
Required and related publications and prescribed and referenced forms are listed in appendix A.

1–3. Explanation of abbreviations and terms

Abbreviations and special terms used in this pamphlet are listed in the glossary.

1–4. Background
The Army’s increased participation in specified operations and exercises has placed a high demand on personnel
resources. The exponential increase in the requirements has required HQDA to develop an Individual Augmentation
Management System (IAMS) to manage the tasking process. It consists of three elements.
a. An individual augmentation cell provides centralized control and management of requirements and sourcing. The
Army Operations Center (AOC) HQDA, ODCSOPS (DAMO-ODOM) and DA, DCSPER (DAPE-PRO-PCC) form the
nucleus of this cell.
b. An integrated information system provides visibility of worldwide individual augmentation requirements and
accountability throughout the augmentation cycle. The Worldwide Individual Augmentation System (WIAS) is an
integrated information system used to record, manage and track validated individual augmentation requirements and
sourcing to support operational needs of the supported and supporting commander in chief (CINCs) and commanders.
Access to the database is password protected. Applicants requesting read or write capability, will submit applications to
HQDA, ODCSOPS, DAMO-ODOM. The Password application form is available at the following website: http://
wias.pentagon.mil/.

Chapter 3
Augmentation Process

Section I
Augmentation Procedures

3–1. Augmentation requests

The Worldwide Individual Augmentation System (WIAS) is the primary method for requesting augmentation. Formal
AUTODIN messages can be used to notify a command of changes or new requirements in WIAS. The AUTODIN may
also be used as a backup if WIAS is not functional.

3–2. Augmentation requirements

The term “requirement” is defined as a CINC validated or Army component command request for additional personnel
that are normally in addition to the authorized personnel/force structure of the organization. The HQDA currently
recognizes four types of individual augmentation requirements:
a. Contingency operations. These are operational requirements with extremely short notice that require immediate
fill. The HQDA will fill out of theater requirements within 21 days of the request being received at HQDA with the
exception of Korean Battle Staff Roster (BSR) positions. The BSR positions are categorized Priority 1 (72 hours), 2 (6-
10 days), or 3 (15-30 days).
a. Recurring operations. These are operational requirements with a long term standing requirement such as Opera-
tions in Bosnia or Kosovo, United Nations or NATO liaison or observer type requirements that may rotate between the
services.
a. Korean battle staff roster. These are wartime staffing positions for USFK and EUSA in Korea and use the BSR
timelines established and published by USFK and EUSA. The EUSA will submit validated requests for activation of
BSR positions to HQDA. The HQDA will task MACOMs by WIAS or AUTODIN message to prepare IAs for
deployment.
a. Exercise. These are Joint Chiefs of Staff directed exercise requirements, such as Ulchi Focus Lens and Reception,
Staging, Onward movement and Integration (RSOI) in Korea. The Joint Staff, Unified/Joint combatant command
directed exercise. The IA requirements are managed in the same manner as recurring operations.

Section II
Requirements Validation and Requisition Process

3–3. Validation and revalidation

The supported Air Combat Command (ACC) and MACOM determines the additional personnel assets needed to
perform a mission or those personnel required to support a valid exercise and forwards the request for augmentation
support to HQDA, DCSOPS.
a. Combatant commanders validate all the requirements. The Army Component Command DCSOPS will validate all
Army specific requirements.
b. At a minimum, the approval authority for the revalidation of each augmentation requirement is the Army
Component Command DCSOPS.

3–4. Requisitions
The flow chart in Figure 3-1 shows the augmentation requisition process as outlined in CJCSI 1301.01A. The flow
chart in Figure 3-2 summarizes the augmentation process for Army assets. The WIAS Users Guide (Http://wias.pe-
ntagon.mil) provides online instructions for submitting an augmentation request. The process steps are:
a. Combatant command tasks the Army component to fill a validated requirement.
b. The Army component first attempts to source the requirements using internal assets to include the use of assigned
IMAs and nonmilitary theater assets (with approval of the CINC), volunteer IRR, and retired military members.
Because of the uniqueness of two existing and co-equal MACOMs, USARPAC, and EUSA in the Pacific Theater,
EUSA is the Army’s executive agent in Korea and will manage and track all Korean Battle Staff Roster requirements,
to include Army specific and Joint requirements for both exercises and war. The EUSA will request assistance from
HQDA (DA passback) for those requirements it cannot fill internally. The USARPAC is the executive agent for Army

4 DA PAM 500–5–1 • 28 December 2001

requirements in the remainder of the Pacific Command AOR (non-Korean specific). The USARPAC will either fill or
passback to HQDA for assistance.
c. When the Army component command determines that requirements cannot be filled using theater assets, the
requirement is passed back to HQDA. This is accomplished by WIAS when the Army Component builds a valid
requirement and subsequently releases it to DA.
d. The HQDA analyzes the requirement and tasks the appropriate MACOM to fill.
e. The MACOMs fill the requirement or reclama the tasking to HQDA.
f. In the event of a reclama, HQDA would then grant or deny the reclama. If granted, HQDA will task another
MACOM or request Joint Staff assistance to fill the requirement. Submission of a reclama consideration does not
constitute relief for the requirement. The MACOMs will continue to fill the position until officially relieved by HQDA.

 Figure 3–2. Augmentation Requisition — Army Process

Chapter 4
Requirements for Timelines and Priority of Fill
Requirements must be timely and accurate. Each requirement will be checked to ensure that all essential and critical
information is included. To meet the CSA guidance, requirements should be submitted in accordance with the timelines
set forth below. Requirements for nonmilitary personnel will be checked by the supported CINC staff to ensure that all
knowledge, skills and abilities are listed correctly and the title, series, grade, and duty description are appropriate to fill
the requirement. The Army component commander may enlist the MACOM Civilian Personnel Director and staff to
review and ensure the appropriateness of civilian positions. Include a point of contact with knowledge of the position
requirements for nonmilitary positions. To execute title 10 responsibilities and provide the Unified combatant com-
mander and the Army component commander trained and ready individuals who have had sufficient time to prepare for
deployment, it is imperative that each step in the augmentation process be completed in a timely manner.

4–1. Emerging and contingency operations

Emerging and contingency operations require responsiveness and decisiveness to fulfill title X responsibilities (table 4-
1). The HQDA directed and or out of theater sourcing of IAs normally requires 21 days. The CRC report dates are
determined by the CRC operations cycle, typically requiring a Sunday report date and a Sunday departure date en route
to the supported command.

4–2. Recurring and exercise requirements
The established timeline parameters for recurring operations and exercises should be adhered to in order to ensure
timely identification and deployment of personnel (table 4-2). During mature contingency operations with recurring
requirements and all exercise related requirements, the Chief of Staff of the Army’s guidance is that soldiers will have
a minimum of 30 days notice prior to departure from home station. The HQDA suspense timeline for CINC validated,
recurring operational and exercise requirements are:
(D-Day is the day that the soldier reports for duty at the CRC for movement processing.)

a. The timeline will be adhered to in order to allow sufficient time for sourcing. If the timeline for submission is not
met for passback requirements, the requirements will be refused unless it is authenticated by the senior leadership of
the requesting Army component command. A waiver is required if the timeline is not met IAW the appropriate level of
command as outlined in table 4-1. Additionally, changes in LAD, or date required in country (DRI), may only be
approved by HQDA and the supported command. The DRIs and LADs may not be changed by the sourcing
organization. Late submission of requirements requires a waiver from the appropriate level of command as outlined in
table 4-3.
b. Stability and predictability for all individuals and unit personnel are essential. When these two elements are not
present, soldiers, training, and quality of life suffer. It is the moral responsibility of all leaders to ensure that no soldier
deploys into ’harms way’ untrained, unprepared, or unresourced. Predictability is enforced by established standards.
The following standards are comprehensive in nature and encompass all individual, unit, or resource type taskers from
the HQDA level down to battalion or equivalent level. The Vice Chief of Staff of the Army (VCSA) is the approval
authority for all tasking originating from HQDA to MACOMs that provide less than 180 days notification from
execution.

 c. The supported unified combatant command validates and revalidates requirements for each rotation of an
operation. The request is due IAW the timeline policy.
d. The Joint Staff (J3/J1) coordinates with the Army component command to establish the deployment criteria for
individual augmentees deploying into the theater. The Army component command forwards this information to HQDA.
The HQDA, DCSPER notifies MACOMs by WIAS or official message traffic personnel guidance in support of the
specific operation.

4–3. Establishing priority

The HQDA, DCSOPS establishes priority of fill and provides sourcing criteria guidelines to be followed to fill
augmentation requirements. The standing priority of fill is listed. This priority may change as the situation changes:
a. Contingency Operations.
b. Recurring Operations/Mature Contingency Operations.
c. Exercises.
d. Battle Staff Rosters (except in time of war).

Chapter 5
Sourcing

Section I
MACOM Analysis

5–1. MACOM analysis process

Once any requirement is released (passed back) to HQDA DCSOPS it is passed to the PCC (by WIAS). The PCC then
determines which organization will conduct the MACOM analysis. The PCC will handle the request in one of three
ways—
a. Requests for JAG, Chaplains, MEDCOM officer personnel, and categories of civilians other than DA civilians,
will be forwarded to their respective headquarters for MACOM and sourcing analysis and then returned to HQDA
(PCC then ODCSOPS) for tasking. The headquarters will review the request and determine the MACOM best suited to
fill the requirement. The headquarters will return the request to the PCC with a recommendation or comment on
MACOM to be tasked. The PCC will review and forward to ODCSOPS for tasking.
b. All other requests for Active Army (AA) military and DA civilian individual augmentees, to include Public
Affairs, will be sent to DA PERSCOM. The MACOM analysis is run by DA PERSCOM based on the parameters
established in the original request for augmentation. The MACOMs requesting IAs should ensure that the requirement
lists all critical and essential skills. Requirements builders should consider building the least restrictive requirement
possible. The more specific the requirement, the less likely that DA PERSCOM will be able to match the request. The
DA PERSCOM will conduct the MACOM analysis and forward with recommendations/comment to the PCC. The PCC
will review and send to ODCSOPS for tasking.
c. Requirements that cannot be filled by AD soldiers or that can only be found in the Reserve Components will be
forwarded to FORSCOM/USARC, AR PERSCOM, or NGB for sourcing recommendations. Recommendations or
comments will be sent to the PCC. The PCC will review and send to ODCSOPS for tasking. Chapter 7 covers use of
Reserve Component soldiers.

5–2. Fenced units

The DA PERSCOM will manage the ODP/EDTM figures and fenced unit information for use in the MACOM analysis.
The DA PERSCOM will also provide comments or recommendations in the remarks section when sending the results
of the MACOM analysis to HQDA.

5–3. Exclusions
The MACOM commander’s may establish internal exclusions for fill. However, HQDA will use total number of a
specific grade and skill assigned when initially determining which MACOM is best sourced to fill. The HQDA cannot
task for special operations, psychological operations, and civil affairs skills. Combatant commands will request these
skills through special operations command channels. Additionally, HQDA will accept individual augmentation passba-
cks for special operations exercises on a case by case basis because soldiers with general military skills are also
assigned to special operations units and are available for tasking through special operations command channels.

Section II
Reclama/Extension Procedures and Joint/Multinational Requirements

5–4. Reclama procedures

A reclama action is generated when there is a disagreement concerning the validity of the augmentation request or a
disagreement between HQDA and the MACOM/agency concerning the sourcing selection. The MACOMs and/or
agencies will use the WIAS to communicate all reclamas to HQDA. All reclamas should be received by HQDA,
DCSOPS not later than 7 calendar days from receipt of requirement. Reclama requests will be submitted through the
reclama node of the WIAS system. Justification will be detailed and include all relevant information to clearly
articulate the MACOM or agency’s position and inability to meet the specified tasking. Justification for the request will
include the following information:
a. Status of all soldiers assigned to the MACOM or agency by skill/grade, duty position, and conflicting
requirements.
b. Total number of qualified personnel available.
c. Number of authorized and assigned qualified personnel in requested grade and skill assigned to joint/combined
staffs and defense agencies.
Submission of a reclama does not constitute relief from the tasking. The tasked organization will provide a standard
name line and continue to fill until officially relieved by HQDA.

5–5. Extension procedures.

The supported combatant command may request augmentees be extended beyond their expected rotation date (tours
over 179 days TCS) subject to the concurrence of the appropriate supporting MACOM. The MACOMs submit requests
for extension beyond 179 days TCS as outlined in AR 600-8-105, (Military Orders) to Commander, PERSCOM
(TAPC-PDO-PO) for final approval. Should there be objection to the tour extension, the issue will be forwarded to the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who will attempt to resolve the matter, consult with the other Chiefs as
considered appropriate, and if necessary, refer the matter to the Secretary of Defense for decision. The same process
will be used for UN and NATO missions provided the extension is consistent with US policy.
a. Requests for tour extensions for RC soldiers (TTAD/COTTAD). Requests for extension of TTAD tours less than
180 days will be submitted through the chain of command to DA PERSCOM, TAPC-OPD-RT. Requests for TTAD
tour extensions, which will exceed 180 days (including travel time), will be submitted to Commander, PERSCOM
(TAPC-OPD) for approval. Requests for extension of a Contingency Temporary Tour of Active Duty (COTTAD) will
be submitted for approval to HQDA DCSPER and DCSOPS (DAPE-ODO). Consent from the Governor or other
appropriate state or territorial authority is required for ARNGUS soldiers.
b. PRC. In the case of reserve soldiers mobilized under 10 USC 12304, the extension will not go beyond 270 days
total mobilized time (this includes time to redeploy and be demobilized).

5–6. Sourcing joint and multinational requirements

The Secretary of Defense or his designee will approve augmentation support before the individuals are assigned.
Requirements to support CINC validated Joint and NATO staff positions will be passed to the appropriate Army
theater supporting command for fill. If the theater command can not fill the requirement it is passed to HQDA,
DCSOPS. If unable to source the requirement, HQDA will forward a request for assistance to the Joint Staff.

Chapter 6
Personnel Accountability Process
6–1. Personnel accountability
The owning MACOM/agency is responsible for maintaining accountability of the individual’s departure from home
station to arrival at CRC/IDS/mob station.
a. The personnel servicing battalions (PSB) submits Standard Installation/Division Personnel System (SIDPERS) 3
transactions when the individual departs home station in a TCS status. The owning MACOM/agency has responsibility
for accountability of the individual from home station to arrival at CONUS gaining unit or CRC/IDS mob station. The
CONUS gaining unit assumes responsibility for accountability of the augmentee when he or she arrives and SIDPERS
3 arrival transactions are made. The DA PERSCOM is responsible for maintaining accountability of all individual AC/
RC/CIV augmentees processing through CRC/IDS for deployment in support of a CONOP/exercise. The Army
component command and supported CINC are responsible for maintaining accountability of deployed AR/RC/CIV until
their redeployment through the ORC/JRC to the CRC/IDS/mob station and return to home station. The ACC/supported
CINC will report strength figures to DA PERSCOM (all Army nonmilitary personnel will be designated to a military
unit. Unit designation and UIC will be included in block 5 of DD Form 1610). The Worldwide Individual Augmenta-
tion System (WIAS) is HQDA’s primary management tool to maintain accountability of augmentees during the

DA PAM 500–5–1 • 28 December 2001 9

augmentation process. All U.S. Army-sponsored contractor employees deploying to area of operations will be desig-
nated to a military unit identified in a Letter of Accreditation (LOA) to maintain administrative oversight and
accountability. In some instances when an individual is assigned to a joint force where an administrative element for
the Army does not exist, the J-1 must assume accounting responsibility for them. The J-l uses the strength reports
submitted daily.
b. The accountability process is initiated when the individual submitted to fill a valid requirement is approved by
HQDA. The tasked MACOM/agency enters the personnel data into WIAS. If the agency does not have access to the
WIAS it will forward personnel data by official message to HQDA. Upon approval from DAMO-ODOM, this becomes
a permanent entry into the WIAS and a file is created on the individual augmentee. Owning agencies of U.S. Army
sponsored contractors, DA Civilians, Red Cross and AAFES personnel will provide personnel data by WIAS or by fax/
e-mail to HQDA. If submitted by fax/e-mail, the agency will ensure orders are forwarded to the gaining unit/CRC/IDS
before the individual departure from home station. The CRC/IDS will input arrival and departure information into
WIAS and the Replacement Operations Automated Management System (ROAMS). The DA PERSCOM will be
notified by WIAS of late arrivals or if an individual does not report to CRC/IDS. The RC members who have been
mobilized will be assessed onto AD and entered into SIDPERS 3. The WIAS and ROAMS provide the theater advance
arrival information of the individual departing CRC/IDS/mob station. Arrival information is entered into WIAS when
the individual arrives in theater at the ORC and JRC. The installation will enter arrival information into WIAS or relay
by email or fax from the assigned unit (forward support unit) to the theater personnel command that then enters arrival
data into WIAS. The SIDPERS 3 transactions will be made by gaining unit once member arrives and again upon
redeployment and departure back to home station. Upon redeployment, departure date is entered into WIAS or relayed
again by fax or email to the theater personnel command. Arrival/departure information is inputted at ORC/JRC with
entries into WIAS/ROAMS, which will provide advance arrival information to CRC/IDS/mob station. Arrival/departure
information at the CRC/IDS is recorded in WIAS. The CRC/IDS will notify home station of individual arrival.

6–2. Automated Tracking System

The WIAS provides the means to retain visibility of the individual augmentee. The WIAS will only be an effective
management tool if the augmentees process through central checkpoints (CRC/IDS, ORC/JRC) where the deployment/
redeployment activity can be documented and responsible personnel agencies provide/input movement (arrival/depar-
ture) data. Personnel that have processed through a CRC within a 12-month period are not required to process through
the CRC a second time. To maintain accountability; however, these individuals will process through the ORC/JRC
upon arrival and departure. The WIAS system will interface with other personnel systems.
a. The WIAS workstations will be supported with CARD Swipe/SMART CARD capability. This will facilitate
personnel accountability at all key nodes of the individual augmentation lifecycle. As personnel arrive at the various
processing points they will use their ID cards/SMART CARD and swipe into the system.
b. All WIAS users will ensure that IAs process into the system. Users will monitor the progress of IAs as they
progress through their processing.
c. Accountability and accuracy of information is critical to the process. WIAS will be used to track the individuals
and assist in meeting requirements as set forth in the FY 2000 NDAA for tracking number of deployed days.
d. When CARD Swipe/SMART CARD is not available or nonoperational, processing points should manually input
individual data into WIAS.

Chapter 7
Reserve Components
7–1. Background
a. The RC requirements to support an operations plan (OPLAN) are an integral part of the deliberate and crisis
action planning process and are established in the RC requirements summary tables. These tables provide the basis for
requesting specific legal authorities and levels of mobilization.
b. Graduated Mobilization Response (GMR) allows for five levels of response options depending on the circum-
stances. Information on forces available, mobilization requirements, lead times, and procedures for obtaining a Reserve
Call-up are provided in, Army Mobilization Operation Planning and Execution System (AMOPES).
c. If a mobilization is required, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff prepares the RC Call-up Decision Support
Package for the NCA. The services in the DSP will address manpower ceilings with the Secretary of Defense’s
guidance.
d. In cases of an immediate crisis response where there is not sufficient time to process a Presidential Reserve Call-
up (PRC) authority, members of the Reserve Component may volunteer for AD at anytime under 10 USC 12301(d).
Readily available RC volunteers can be acquired from RC units, IMAs, involuntarily recalled retirees and individuals
from the IRR.
e. It is DOD policy that when conditions permit, maximum consideration will be given to accessing volunteer RC

10 DA PAM 500–5–1 • 28 December 2001

units and individuals before seeking mobilization authority to order members of the RCs to AD under involuntary
conditions.
f. In cases where RC volunteers are not available, retired military personnel with 20 or more years of active military
service or TERA (Temporary Early Retirement Authority) retirees are subject to voluntary or involuntary recall to AD
for peacetime contingency operations through full mobilization whenever the Secretary of the Army determines the
need exists (10 USC 688).
g. The use of RC soldiers for individual augmentation is dependent upon the level of authorized response, available
funding and duration. The level of authorized response will affect the category of reserve soldiers who are available
and the limitations on length of tours, and the funding available.
h. The RC commands should approve individual members of reserve units and IMAs by verifying that loss of the
soldiers will not impact on the unit’s capability to perform its mobilization mission. Retirees and IRR members should
coordinate with the AR PERSCOM commander in order to volunteer.
i. Reservists may volunteer for TTAD or Active Duty Special Work (ADSW) if qualified, and are within ceiling and
funding limitations, for emerging contingency operations when additional manpower is required (prior to PRC authori-
zation). Normal TTAD tour lengths are 139 days. Tours exceeding 179 days are accountable against the AD end
strength and will have prior approval from HDDA, DCSPER to exceed the 139 limit.

7–2. Peacetime operations (without PRC authority)

a. The DA PERSCOM will coordinate with the USARC, AR PERSCOM, and CNGB to identify qualified volun-
teers from the RC to serve on TTAD. The priority of consideration of RC volunteers for a TTAD tour in support of a
contingency operation is as follows:
(1) IRR soldiers
(2) IMA soldiers
(3) ARNGUS and USAR unit soldiers
(4) Retired Reserve soldiers who were retired under 10 USC 1293, 3911, and 3914
(5) Retired Reserve soldiers not covered in (a) above
b. The RC members volunteering for TTAD, who are assigned to a unit will obtain approval from their RC unit of
assignment to serve on AD. Consent from the Governor or other appropriate state or territorial authority is required for
ARNGUS soldiers to serve on TTAD. Volunteers supporting a contingency operation will be ordered to AD under
COTTAD in accordance with DA DCSOPS guidance.

7–3. The PRC authority and higher levels of mobilization

a. The IMAs are voluntary and involuntary. All individual mobilization orders are published with Secretary of the
Army approval. This authority may be delegated to the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve
Affairs) (ASA (M&RA)). Upon execution of PRC (or higher level mobilization), IMA soldiers are immediately
available for mobilization with the organization to which they are assigned. For existing SSC PRCs, Army policy
requires an individual soldier to volunteer to be transferred to the SELRES in order to be involuntarily mobilized.
b. Under PRC, authorization members of the Selected Reserve are available for up to 270 days. Current DA policy
limits the length of overseas employment for units supporting Operations Other Than War or Small Scale Contingen-
cies to 179 days, plus a short transition period between units. Excluded from this employment limit are routine
activities related to RC mobilization, including pre-employment training either within CONUS or OCONUS. Upon
receipt of authorization to mobilize IMA assets, ODCSPER, in accordance with ODCSOPS, DAMO-ODOM, notifies
agencies of their allocation of IMAs. If they have not received authorization, organizations should request approval
through their MACOM, or their theater Army component commander, or if a joint requirement through CJCS to DA
ODCSOPS (DAMO-ODOM). Upon approval, organizations should identify to AR PERSCOM (ARPC-PLM-O) the
specific IMAs and the reporting instructions to be placed on the orders. Organizations with IMAs are also responsible
to fund associated TDY costs while the IMA is on AD. Requests for the use of activated IMAs within CONUS to
support a PRC will be submitted to the Chief of Staff, Army for concurrence prior to being forwarded for the Secretary
of the Army approval.
c. The IMA ordered to AD (PRC, Partial or Full Mobilization). The theater Army Component commander or
MACOM will identify requirements to the Theater CINC for validation. The ACC request with CINC validation is
forwarded to DAMO-ODOM for mobilization approval by (ASA(M&RA)), as the delegated approval authority by
Secretary of the Army. Once approved by ASA(M&RA), DAMO-ODOM notifies the requesting MACOMs, AR-
PERSCOM will publish the orders directing the IMAs in theater to report to their designated theater MS and IMAs in
CONUS to report to the reception station for activation. CONUS destined IMAs will be brought onto AD by the
receiving unit’s Personnel Service Center (PSC). The OCONUS destined IMAs will be brought onto AD at a reception
station.
d. Individual volunteers (IMA and TPU) temporarily attached to another organization with the parent unit’s
concurrence. Individuals who volunteer for AD under a PSRC with other than their assigned organization/unit will
obtain approval from their unit of assignment if USAR, or if ARNG, receive approval from the Governor or other

DA PAM 500–5–1 • 28 December 2001 11

appropriate state or territorial authority. Individual volunteers who mobilize will not degrade their parent unit below
readiness standards outlined in ANNEX C, AMOPES. Exceptions to the readiness standards should be submitted to
HQDA (DAMO-ODOM) for waiver authority. The request for mobilization is submitted in same manner as for TTAD
tour. The request should indicate any previous PSRCs served and dates for the individual is required for AD service. If
necessary, the USARC creates a UIC (mobilization support detachment) for purposes of mobilization. If only one or
two individuals volunteer from a unit, a derivative UIC (DUIC) from the parent unit is created and they are attached to
the DUIC, in which case the Reserve Support Command, AR PERSCOM, USARC, USARPAC, or USAREUR
reassign the individual to the DUIC. Movement orders to the MS/CRC/IDS are published from home station. The MS
will publish additional movement orders for overseas deployment. If a parent unit is mobilized to AD under a PSRC
authority which have active IMAs serving elsewhere, the IMAs remain assigned to the temporary assigned unit. Upon
receipt of partial mobilization authority or higher, any IMA serving on TTAD will either immediately be released from
AD and returned to normal IMA status or have the TTAD order terminated and be ordered to AD under the authority
of 10 USC 12303.
e. Retirees. Agencies will identify requirements for augmentation and forward to DA, DCSPER. The DA, DCSPER
will authorize AR PERSCOM to publish orders to recall individuals to Active status.

Chapter 8
Civilian (Nonmilitary) Personnel
8–1. Civilian augmentation process
In this text civilian (nonmilitary) applies to the following: Department of the Army and Department of Defense
civilians (appropriated and nonappropriated), and Army sponsored contractors. The Army component commander, in
coordination with the unified or specified CINC, identifies civilian personnel requirements in theater. The Army
component commander is responsible for maintaining accountability of and reporting the status of all categories of
civilians above. The HQDA DCSPER/PERSCOM publishes guidance of deployed civilians. The supported command
will provide theater and/or specific operation deployability requirements and reporting procedures to HQDA DCSPER
(DAPE-PRO-PCC) prior to deployment. A civilian personnel cell may be established at the theater headquarters to
provide civilian personnel support and advise on civilian issues to the Army component commander. Accountability
data will be provided on deployed nonmilitary personnel from subordinate units within the theater and reported to
PERSCOM (TAPC-PLO), DA DCSPER (DAPE-PRO) and ASA (M&RA), or agency headquarters by WIAS or
official message traffic. If there is not an established civilian personnel cell at the theater headquarters, the Army
component commander will coordinate any nonmilitary mobilization and deployment issues with DA PERSCOM and
the responsible MACOM/agency. When CONUS support is being provided for OCONUS duty location, it is the
owning MACOM/agency responsibility to ensure the augmentee meets deployment criteria and deploys and redeploys
through the CRC/IDS and ORC/JRC. Nonmilitary personnel qualifying for exemption from processing through the
CRC (for example, deployed through CRC during previous 12 months without change in deployment or training
criteria, or reporting from OCONUS to OCONUS duty location), will process through ORC/JRC.

8–2. Requirements and sourcing

All validated nonmilitary augmentation requirements supporting Army specified operations will be entered into WIAS.
The following procedures will be used to process validated augmentation requirements using nonmilitary personnel:
a. DA Civilians. All requests for DA Civilians must be coordinated between the requesting MACOM and servicing
Civilian Personnel Advisory Center (CPAC) to ensure that position title and description of duties to be performed are
compatible with the occupational series and grade requested. Requirements for DA civilians will be forwarded by
WIAS entry or official message traffic to DAMO-ODOM for approval. This process mirrors the request for an AC
requirement.
b. Red Cross/AAFES personnel. Mission requirements for Red Cross/AAFES personnel will be submitted to the
Theater Personnel Command and entered into WIAS and forwarded to the appropriate agency headquarters for
sourcing recommendations. The agency/HQS coordinates with Theater Personnel Command to identify requirements to
meet mission demands. Headquarters/agencies act as the approval authority for requirements and sourcing recommen-
dations and provide entries into WIAS.
c. Contractor personnel (Army Support). Validated requirements for contractors in support of Army operations and
exercises are coordinated with Army component command and supporting MACOMs/agencies/companies. A validated
requirement is generated when a contract supporting an Army operation has been approved. The contractual agreement
(requisition number) will be entered into WIAS. The supporting MACOM, agency, or company will provide augmenta-
tion requirements and sourcing data to fulfill contractual agreements by WIAS or report data by e-mail or fax to
DALO-POD/DCSPER-PRO. Augmentation requirements entered into WIAS will generate a sequenced control number
providing theater location, operation or exercise. Contract personnel will process through CRC/IDS/JRC/ORC unless
qualified for exemption from processing through CRC/IDS. Individual accountability in the theater of operations is

12 DA PAM 500–5–1 • 28 December 2001

maintained through the theater logistical support element or military support unit to which assigned and the theater
personnel command.

Chapter 9
Worldwide Individual Augmentation Information System (WIAS)
9–1. General
The Worldwide Individual Augmentation System (WIAS) is an integrated information system used to request, record,
manage, and track validated individual augmentation requirements to support operational needs of the combatant and
noncombatant commander. The WIAS was developed with the intent of providing a mechanism to provide complete
and comprehensive life-cycle management of individual augmentation requirements. Development of WIAS is proceed-
ing in three phases. Phase I development provides HQDA visibility of worldwide individual augmentation require-
ments. Future developments of WIAS (Phase II/III) will provide MACOMs and installations the capability to manage
internal augmentation requirements. Accountability is maintained on IAs from deployment through CRC/IDS/JRC/
ORC/mob station to redeployment through the JRC/ORC/CRC/IDS/mob station to home station. It also serves as a
historical reference for recurring requirements and sourcing information. This is a relational database. As information is
entered into the database, it is cross linked to other tables within the database to reduce repeated entries. The database
will be linked to other personnel database systems, for example, ITAPDB, JPAV, ROAMS and SIDPERS 3. The
WIAS consists of three modules, Requirements (WIAS(R)), Sourcing (WIAS(S)), and Deployment (WIAS(D)). It also
has a query and report capability allowing the user the ability to tailor a search for specific information.

9–2. Access
Access to the database is password protected. Applicants requesting read and/or write capability, will submit applica-
tions to HQDA ODCSOPS, DAMO-ODOM, which will grant limited write and view permission. ASM Research Inc.
will maintain user ID codes. The password application form (Form 9R) is available at the following website: http://
wias.pentagon.mil/.

9–3. The Worldwide Individual Augmentation System – Requirements, WIAS (R).

In accordance with CJCSI 1301.01B, combatant commands establish and validate the need for requirements to
accomplish an assigned mission and fill operational or contingency requirements. The CINC and the Joint Staff, J-1
task the service components to identify and assign individuals to meet the requirements. Service requirements once
identified, are validated by the theater CINC. When requirements are entered into WIAS, a control number is
automatically generated to identify the requirement. The control number identifies the theater command, specified
operation or exercise and sequences the requirement. Requirements for military and DA civilian support that can not be
sourced within theater are forwarded by WIAS to DAMO-ODOM. The WIAS (Phase I) is also designed for augmenta-
tion requirements forwarded to HQDA by MACOMs in support of JCS operations and exercises and military
operations (disaster relief, etc.).
a. The DAMO-ODOM acknowledges receipt of all passback requirements and processes for action or returns
requirement to the originator. Rejected requirements will include comments explaining reason for rejection and will
include recommended course of action. Requirements and requests entered into WIAS by MACOMs and forwarded to
DAMO-ODOM for review and approval for sourcing will be temporary until approved by DAMO-ODOM.
b. Information included with each requirement entry includes: assigned WIAS control number , paragraph and line
number, old paragraph and line number, contingency operation, compo, supported command, TCS station UIC, duty
location, MPC, duty title, MOS/AOC/series, grade, security class, language requirement, special requirements, rotation
number, validation date, deletion date, requirement message date, LAD, reporting instructions, ULNs (as appropriate),
points of contact, and remarks.

9–4. The Worldwide Individual Augmentation System – Sourcing, WIAS (S).

The WIAS (S) documents the fill for each of the validated individual requirements identified on the WIAS(R). The
Theater/MACOM DCSPER and Personnel Command (PERSCOM) will conduct a theater/MACOM analysis and
identify and recommend to DCSOPS fills for individual military and civilian requirements from theater/MACOM
assets. The DCSOPS then determines and tasks the identified assets to provide fills for the requirements. The
requirements that cannot be filled with internal assets are forwarded (passbacks) to DAMO-ODOM by WIAS. Fillers
for the passbacks to HQDA become the basis of the WIAS (S) as well as fills for the validated requirements for HQDA
and Joint OCONUS exercises. Once names have been identified against a requirement, they are referenced with the
permanent control number tied to the requirement, which will allow HQDA, unified commands, all MACOMs, NGB,
and USAR to track incoming and departing soldiers and civilians. This document also allows MACOMs the ability to
project future requirements tied to operational needs as well as lend visibility to the senior leadership of individual
augmentation commitments worldwide.

DA PAM 500–5–1 • 28 December 2001 13

 a. Information contained on the WIAS (S) that is displayed on various tables assists in tracking an individual and
the requirement to include: name, SSN, pay grade, MPC, MOS/AOC/Civilian Occupational Series, compo, supporting
command, DOD service, home UIC location, tour length, loss date, projected departure date, security information
requesting info for position, CRC information, theater arrival,and departure information, CRC arrival, departure,
redeploy information, and reclamas. It also provides tasked MACOM and replacement information, LAD, and depar-
ture date from theater.
b. Projected losses can be identified on time phase basis.
c. The database also has query and report capability allowing the user the ability to tailor a search for specific
information. Current report information available includes: requirement/sourcing data, CONUS Replacement Centers
deployment/redeployment information, extensions, requirement vacancies, missed suspenses, and messages pertaining
to valid requirements.

9–5. The Worldwide Individual Augmentation System Deployment, WIAS (D).

The WIAS (D) documents the location for each individual tasked to fill the validated individual requirements identified
by WIAS(R). The deployment phase begins after the individual is notified of deployment. When the individual departs
home station, the parent unit will process the departure transaction to reflect that the IA is en route to CRC/IDS.
Responsible agencies will ensure that proper actions are taken to track the individual through the entire deployment
lifecycle. The lifecycle includes the IA arrives at CRC/IDS, IA en route to ORC/JRC , IA at the ORC/JRC, IA en route
to unit, IA at unit performing mission, IA redeploying to ORC/JRC or IA redeployed to ORC/JRC, IA redeploying to
CRC/IDS, IA redeployed to CRC/IDS, IA redeploying to home station, and IA redeployed to home station.

Active duty for special work (ADSW)

A tour of AD for Reserve personnel authorized from military or Reserve personnel appropriations for work on AC or
RC programs (ADSW–AC funded or ADSW–RC funded). The purpose of ADSW is to provide necessary skilled
manpower assets to support existing or emerging requirement. ADSW tours are normally limited to 139 days, or less,
in one fiscal. Tours exceeding 180 days are accountable against C or AGR end strength.

AMOPES
Army Mobilization and Operations Planning Execution System. The single integrated mobilization and deployment
system the Army uses to implement the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan (JSCP). It provides administrative and
operational guidance on the employment and support of Army /forces to Army agencies, commands, and component
commanders of unified commands.

Augmentees
Soldiers/civilians reassigned as individuals in a TCS/TDY (active duty) or TTAD/mobilization (Reserve Component)
status to temporarily fill a position that normally exceeds a deploying or deployed unit’s authorized structure.
