Chapter 1: General 1-1. RSP MISSION. The mission of the Recruit Sustainment Program (RSP) is to reduce the overall
training pipeline loss rate by creating a strong foundation of training and Soldier ethos that will set the standard for Soldiers to succeed at Initial Entry Training (IET) and Advanced Individual Training (AIT). The most important byproduct of the RSP is a maximum success rate in terms of providing MOSQ Soldiers to ARNG units. The RSP does this by ensuring that Soldiers are mentally prepared, administratively correct, and physically ready.
1-2. DIRECT SHIP MISSION. To align resources and shipping alternatives in a manner that positions the Soldier for optimum success and the best possible transition to IET/AIT.
1-3. SHIP OPTIONS. There is currently no Department of Defense requirement that services use MEPS for the inspect process prior to shipping already assessed Soldiers to their respective training sites. The use of MEPS for inspects is done solely for the convenience of the respective services. Many RSP Sites have the capability of verifying prerequisites for new recruits reporting to IET/AIT. Commanders have two options for shipping Soldiers to IET/AIT. It is the sole discretion of the ARNG to determine which method(s) best meets the needs of the ARNG. The intent of this SOP is to outline the process to implement Direct Ship.
a. Traditional MEPS Processing: This is the method used currently by the majority of Soldiers who
ship to their training sites. RSP Soldiers ship from their associated MEPS. All associated processing is accomplished at MEPS.
b. Full Direct Ship: RSP Direct Ship (DS) without the use of Traditional MEPS Processing. All ship requirements are completed at a Direct Ship Site. RSP Soldiers do not return to MEPS for processing.
1-4. ENLISTMENT OPTIONS. Today’s Soldiers come to the RSP from a variety of enlistment categories, including Quick Shippers, the Recruit Force Pool, Active First, and, of course the traditional enlistment process. The optimum time in the RSP is 120 days. However, a successful ship program of any option will come by way of proactive monitoring and preparation that begins the day of enlistment.
1-5. DIRECT SHIP SITE. The Direct Ship Site (DSS) is any location in which Soldiers are processed for immediate departure to IET/AIT.
1-6. DIRECT SHIP SOP CONTENTS. The contents of this SOP are designed as a template, arranging key
elements to key tasks. The differences in JFHQ level operational requirements will certainly require local modification of this SOP. It is recommended that commanders provide ongoing feedback to NGB-ASM-RSP for future changes of this SOP.

Chapter 4: Administration
4-1. DUTY STATUS. RSP Commanders may elect to conduct DSS activities in an IDT, ADOS, or AT status. The duration of training and processing at the DSS will be determined by the RSP Commander. For recommended timeline for training see Chapter 8. 4-2. ADMINISTRATIVE PREPARATION.
a. A Shipper Report will be generated weekly from REQUEST NLT 120 days prior to ship date. RSP
sites should review and identify shipper issues/concerns and potential at risk issues.
b. The DSS will project DS applicants by name to the ARNG MEPS GC not later than 30 days prior to ship date IAW USMEPCOM Regulation 55-2, Recruit Travel, and local MEPS policy. (1) The ARNG MEPS GC will identify the mode of travel and the hometown departure location
(airport or bus terminal along with the city and state) on the request for orders (RFO). Ensure the request for orders specifies to make the report date to the DSS the same as the ship date to training.
(2) The ARNG MEPS GC will annotate the mode of travel (to include airport name) and ensure “Direct Ship” is included in the remarks field of the projection in United States Military Entrance Processing Command Integrated Resource System (USMIRS).
c. Prior to ship week, the DSS NCOIC retrieves records from MEPS and screens them for accuracy.
DSS must be in close coordination with RSP Sites to take immediate action on any needed corrections. Soldiers identified with issues requiring special medical tests and applicable waivers are better served by MEPS processing as they are equipped to handle these issues more expeditiously.
d. The DSS will conduct an interview using USMEPCOM Form 601-23-5-R-E, Introductory Pre-Accession Interview. MEPS will provide a blank copy in the shipper packet. If the applicant discloses any disqualifying information not previously stated during MEPS processing, the Service Liaison/Counselor will have the applicant’s record reflect an “N” status. The applicant will not be allowed to ship under the DS Program and must return to MEPS to have the “N” status cleared.
e. DSS personnel will brief applicants on travel guidelines and materials identified in USMEPCOM Regulation 55-2 and ensure applicants review and understand the information on the Recruit Travel Card (RTC) as well as any additional relevant travel and contact information as needed.
f. DSS personnel will ensure each applicant has government-issued photo ID that will be valid on ship day.
g. DSS personnel will complete the Packet Breakdown Checklist IAW USMEPCOM Regulation 601-23.
h. DSS personnel will contact MEPS NLT 0900 MEPS local time on ship day to confirm previously identified Shippers and report “no shows”.
DIRECT SHIP SOP

i. When issues arise, the RSP Site/DSS will provide to the RSP Commander a list of Soldiers with potential medical, legal or other issues that could cause a Soldier not to ship. Soldiers with unresolved issues will be serviced by MEPS.
4-3. RECORDS PROCESSING. a. RSP Contractors or RSP Administrative Personnel will prepare shipper packets using the RSP
Form 08-02, Soldier Pre-Ship Checklist (see Appendix A).

08-01, RSP Soldier Monthly Pre-Ship Counseling (see Appendix B). Include the completed RSP 08-02, RSP Soldier Pre-Ship Packet Checklist, in the shipper packet that is provided to the DSS. DSS personnel will review and verify that DD Form 1966 is properly completed and compare all entries to verification documents and SF 86. Any changes made will be annotated in block 34b. If no changes were made, DSS will write “no changes made” and signed by the DSS and Soldier. The MEPS GC or designated personnel will scan the completed form into “additional forms” under the core admin folder in GCR prior to shipping.
b. RSP Site will conduct records reviews with each Soldier. Records review includes verification of emergency data, rank, direct deposit, family care plan, dependency data, and pay data. Soldiers that have no changes to moral and financial status are not required to conduct a second security interview.

COA: Inspector will certify in the remarks section of DA Form 3081 that the screening above took place and will ensure that this certification includes their name, unit, and date. This statement should read “I (Inspector’s Name) of (Unit) performed a physical inspection of this soldier on (Date). Soldier denies any change to medical status and presents themselves with no evidence of such. Soldier is cleared to ship to IADT.”

a “Direct Shipper”.
i. The ARNG MEPS GC, in USMIRS system under personal data, replaces the “Y” with an “N” from required medical. This allows MEPS operations to override the USMIRS system and allow the Soldier to ship without MEPS medical inspect.
4-6. GUIDANCE COUNSELOR DIRECT SHIP PERSONNEL PROCESSING.
a. MEPS GC or DSS will verify the accuracy of all information on each Soldier’s training orders and Reservation Print Out such as name, SSN, rank, training location, number of weeks, etc. Direct Ship site training orders must have the shippers “report date” the same as their actual “ship date”. Ensure that the report date to the DSS is the same as the ship date to training.
b. Ensure that all Direct Ship Site projections to the MEPS are projected as a No Processing
Required. The MIRS system calls this a "BOMO" or "no medical required" projection.
c. Confirm the MOS for which the Soldier enlisted.
d. Verify the training base the Soldier is attending is appropriate for his or her MOS/gender.
e. Double-check that the Soldier is still qualified for the MOS to be trained.
