                                                 DESERT SHIELD/STORM
 
           
       CATEGORY: Manpower and Personnel

       ISSUE/ITEM:

       SUBJECT: Reserve Augmentation - IMAs

       BACKGROUND: IMAs reporting for duty should possess or have available published
       assignment orders. In Desert Storm, there were delays in receipt of orders for
       some IMAs.

       DISCUSSION: Lack of orders caused great inconviences to the individuals
       concerned, i.e., pay problems, rapid access to base services, and administrative
       hassles. In some cases, because those individuals were not included on orders
       listings, neither the gaining medical treatment facilities or the MAJCOM knew the
       individual was inbound causing personal tracking/requirements errors, and
       complicating base reception efforts.

       ACTION RECOMMENDED:

                                       (1) Ensure orders are provided immediately for IMAs reporting to
       duty.

                                       (2) Ensure gaining HQ USAF/SGHR/MAJCOMs/MTFs are notified in
       advance of IMAs to be gained.

       SUGGESTED OPRs/OCRs: HQ ARPC/SG
