       CATEGORY: Manpower and Personnel

        ISSUE/ITEM:

        SUBJECT: Reserve Augmentation - (Push-Pull Mobilization)

        BACKGROUND: Implementation of Push-Pull was required in order to access
        personnel in required AFSCs. Single site processing of these personnel through
        Lackland AFB went, overall, surprisingly well. However, notification to gaining
        MAJCOMs and gainings bases of inbound PIM was not accomplished in a timely
        manner.

        DISCUSSION: Although PIM assignment projections had been provided to MAJCOMs,
        actual assignments were not reported to functional managers. With reported no-
        shows, delays enroute, etc., for the most part, we did not know what personnel
        were actually inbound or when until after they arrived. This directly impacted
        our ability to adjust requirements, track personnel, and prepare to receive
        personnel at the units. This situation would be even further complicated had
        multiple processing sites been activiated.

        ACTION RECOMMENDED:

                                 (1) Ensure outbound assignments are reported to gaining
        MAJCOM/units and to HQ USAF in a timely manner.

                                 (2) Report issue of orders to MPC and HQ ATC/DPX for upload to
        common database and subtraction from outstanding requirements.

          SUGGESTED OPRs/OCRs: Tech Training Center/DP
