         called to active duty or other special needs that needed more time
         to work out.
      
               RECOMMENDATION: The Push-Pull Mobilization System policy and
         procedures need to be changed to allow individuals at least a two
         week notification prior to having to report for PIM processing.
      
         12. OBSERVATION: After Reserve, Guard, IMA, and PIM personnel were
         mobilized to their initial duty location, MAJCOMs relocated them
         within their own command or to another command. These relocations
         were accomplished either by amending EAD or PCS orders issued by
         another agency, or placing them on TDY orders using their funds.
         These relocations were done to accommodate members personal needs or
         to realign specialties to meet requirements.
      
              DISCUSSION: During Push-Pull Mobilization, AFMPC received
         numerous phone calls from CBPOs concerning the reassignment of these
         personnel and how do they access them to their personnel files.
         Commands called wanting to swap IRRs with IMAs or ANG or Reserve
         personnel. The OPRs and procedures for relocating mobilized
         personnel was not clearly defined and some MAJCOMs asked questions
         after they had already accomplished their crossleveling or swaps.
         When CBPOs had questions concerning these type of problems, guidance
         was not available. The appropriate agencies were coordinated with
         prior to movement of mobilized personnel. The only agency that can
         send a member in PCS status is AFMPC. Many overages occurred at
         MTFs because a Reserve, Guard, IMA or IRR reported to fill a
         requirement already filled from one of those sources. It seemed the
         total force was integrated prior to requirements being generated for
         PIM personnel.
      
              RECOMMENDATION: There needs to be a better system/method
         developed to insure that all mobilized categories are integrated and
         allocated to fill backfill requirements prior to their final
         assignment. It does not make fiscal sense to spend money to send a
         member to fill a identified requirement and then spend additional
         funds to relocate the member within days of their arrival.
         Likewise, if we are going to swap or relocate members to get them
         closer to home, then make that a consideration prior to their
         initial assignment rather than afterwards. Procedures need to be
         established to accommodate those relocations that cannot be helped.
         There should be involvement by ARPC, AFRES, NGB and AFMPC depending
         on which category reservist is involved (under the current
         mobilization guidance). In a nutshell, if the personnel community
         is to be held accountable for providing service to those mobilized
         personnel, we must be notified of personnel movements prior to their
         completion. Policy guidance should be provided to all CBPOs and
         agencies involved on the processing of ANG, Reserve, IMA and PIM
         personnel.
      
              NOTE: It would make it a lot easier if all mobilized
        categories were treated the same rather than each having their own
        procedures.
      
        13. OBSERVATION: The personnel data system was not responsive
        enough for short notice assignment processing of PIM personnel.
