What is this?

You have just opened a new type of UPDATE publication.

In the future all administrative regulations and some DA pamphlets will beconverted from the standard, two-column looseleaf format to the three-columnUPDATE format.

Some UPDATE publications will be published separately like this one, whileothers will be organized as functional handbooks — like the Uni t Supplyhandbook already in use in supply rooms throughout the Army. In allinstances, users will not be required to post changes. They will alwaysreceive a fresh, up-to-date "posted" copy to make their jobs easier. Use ofmodern, computerized typography in UPDATE publishing gives the Army theability to do this along with the potential for tremendous cost savings byfreeing units from the time-consuming task of maintaining looseleafpublications.

In addition to a new format , UPDATE publications include some unique featuresas follows:

o Summary of Change. Every UPDATE issue contains a Summary of Change.In the first printing of a book, the summary outlines the major topics coveredby the publication. In subsequent printings, the summary outlines the majorchanges that have been made to the publication. Look for this summary in thefront of every issue. It should help you "zero in" on areas that need yourimmediate attention.

o Subscription Card and Resupply. Look for the cutout subscription cardin the back of this publication. Use this card to increase or decrease thecopies you receive of this UPDATE publication. Do this by completing part oneof the card and routing it to your publications clerk. The publications clerkthen completes part two by consolidating your un i t ' s total requirement andplaces it in an envelope and mails it to the address listed at the top of thecutout page. You should do this right away in order to receive the quanti tyyou need of the next updated issue. You can also use this card to stopreceiving this publication. Just place a zero in the quanti ty required blockon the card and mail it and you will no longer receive this publication. Alimited resupply of this UPDATE issue is available from the BaltimorePublications Center by completing DA Form 4569 (USAAGPC Requisition CodeSheet) as you would for other resupply requests.

2-12. Assignment policyPersonnel to serve in authorized administra-tive support personnel positions inUSAREC, to include the Recruiting Sup-port Command, will be assigned by the CG,MILPERCEN. Table 2-1 lists supportMOS common in USAREC.

2-13. Selection procedures forsupport personnel

a. To the maximum practical extent, ad-ministrative support positions in USARECwill be filled with volunteers returning fromoverseas service. USAREC experienceshows that highly qualified volunteers servewell in these positions. Volunteers are nor-mally better prepared for the demands ofUSAREC service and the relatively highcost of living they will experience throughassignment to metropolitan areas that char-acterize the USAREC environment. Proce-dures for volunteers are as follows:

(1) Personnel serving in CONUS or inoverseas commands may request assignmentto recruiting support duties by submitting arequest through their chain of command toCommander, MILPERCEN, ATTN:DAPC-(appropriate career branch), 2461Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia22331-0400 (see AR 614-200, table l-l).Requests will be submitted on DA Form4187 listing a minimum of three USARECorganizations in order of preference.USAREC organizations and their locationsare listed in appendix B. Final determina-tion of the USAREC assignment will bemade through coordination betweenUSAREC and MILPERCEN based oncommand needs.

(3) Applicants will state on the DAForm 4187 that they have sufficient time re-maining on current enlistment (as of DER-OS, if overseas) or will take the requiredaction to acquire sufficient remaining serviceto complete a normal 3 year tour of duty inUSAREC if selected for that assignment.

(4) One copy of the individual's DAForms 2A and 2-1 will accompany theapplication.

(5) The immediate commander of the ap-plicant will make recommendations by in-dorsement, specifically addressing theapplicant's probable ability to perform inthe USAREC environment, considering thesame factors that apply to recruiter person-nel (see para 2-4).

b. In the absence of sufficient volunteers,MILPERCEN will direct the assignment ofqualified personnel for USAREC adminis-trative support positions. Procedures are asfollows:

(1) Personnel ordered to USAREC willbe identified to USAREC and losing com-manders using existing Centralized Assign-ment Procedures (CAP III).

(2) For administrative support personnel,MILPERCEN and USAREC will conductinitial screening similar to that specified forrecruiter nominees in paragraph 2-4. If de-rogatory information surfaces concerningUSAREC replacements, it will be evaluatedby MILPERCEN and USAREC. If it ap-pears that the individual's duty performancein USAREC will be impaired, the CG,MILPERCEN, exercises decision authorityfor deletion.

22 JULY 1985 UPDATE »AR 601-1

(3) Losing installation commanders willensure unit commanders interview person-nel identified by MILPERCEN for assign-ment to USAREC. General guidancecontained in paragraph 2-4 will be used toconduct the interview. Unit commanderswill request the deletion of personnel un-qualified for USAREC service in accor-dance with this regulation. Installationcommanders will use deletion proceduresoutlined in AR 614-200, paragraph 7-6 andtable 7-1. Rule 1 of the table will be usedfor CONUS replacements; rule 5 forreplacements in oversea commands.

c. Administrative support personnel inUSAREC incur a 36 month assignment sta-bilization, beginning the date the servicemember reports to the USAREC unit of as-signment. Administrative support personnelwill not normally be reassigned withinUSAREC.

d. Monthly reports of operational assign-ments approved by the CG, USAREC, willbe furnished the CG, MILPERCEN, perparagraph 3-11.

Section IIInitial Assignment of RecruiterSelectees to USAREC

3-2. Overseas returneesUpon notification from MILPERCEN thata service member overseas has been accept-ed for recruiting duty, USAREC will imme-diately send a welcome letter and anassignment worksheet to the soldier. Theletter will request prompt return of theworksheet to USAREC as it contains neces-sary information to be used as a basis for es-tablishing a specific USAREC assignment.The soldier's command and MILPERCENwill be notified by USAREC immediatelyupon determination of the duty location.

Personnel scheduled to attend the ARC up-on completion of their overseas tour will begiven orders to a recruiting battalion assign-ment prior to departure from the overseasarea.

3-3. CONUS selecteesa. Regular Army personnel who arrive at

the ARC from CONUS installations will re-ceive a recruiting battalion and station levelassignment prior to completion of ARCschooling. Procedures for determination ofthe assignment are as follows:

(1) During the first week of the ARC,each individual will be interviewed and willcomplete an assignment worksheet whichwill be utilized during the assignment pro-cess. Individual preferences will be honored,when possible, provided the primary consid-erations of command distribution and pri-orities can be met.

(2) Recruiting battalion assignments willbe announced by USAREC during the sec-ond week of the ARC.

(3) Once the initial assignments torecruiting battalions have been established,recruiter assignment worksheets will be sentby USAREC to the gaining units. Gainingunits will then determine station level as-signments (considering the assignment limi-tations outlined in paragraph 3-36) andnotify HQ USAREC by an established sus-pense date.

(4) HQ USAREC will report station as-signments to MILPERCEN and appropri-ate assignment instructions will beforwarded to servicing personnel offices forpublishing of orders. Reporting dates ofARC graduates will normally be established45 days after graduation from the ARC.

(5) The station level assignment programis intended to—

(a) Facilitate reassignment processingand sponsorship programs by allowingsoldiers to ship household goods direct to astation area.

(b) Aid in making sound and logicalplans/decisions about family issues early inthe tour with USAREC.

(c) Develop an identity with and commit-ment to the gaining organization andstation.

(d) Allow gaining personnel adequate op-portunity to assist the new recruiter andfamily members in their transition to therecruiting environment.

(6) Once a station level assignment hasbeen made and reported to MILPERCEN,the assignment remains firm. In extraordi-nary circumstances when a change in sta-tion assignment appears necessary, a requestmay be forwarded to HQ USAREC in writ-ing with complete justification for thechange. Facsimile or electronic mail capa-bilities may be used to request a change instation assignments.

b. New recruiters should not be consid-ered for the fol lowing station levelassignments:

(1) To one-person recruiting stations inwhich vacancies are filled by the operationalreassignment of experienced recruiters.

22 JULY 1985 UPDATE • AR 601-1

(2) To multi-person recruiting stations inwhich all assigned recruiters are newrecruiters.

(3) To a multi-person recruiting stationin which the station commander is junior ingrade or date of rank to the new recruiter.

(4) To any cadre (MOS OOR) position.c. Exceptions to the assignment limita-

tions in b above may be approved by HQ,USAREC for new recruiters who are for-mer successful recruiters and who have beenawarded the PMOS OOR upon graduationfrom the ARC.

3-4. Diversion of recruiterreplacements

a. To respond to operational require-ments, better distribute the recruiting force,preclude personal hardship on recruiterreplacements, and quickly offset unpro-grammed losses, the CG, USAREC, maydivert overseas replacements en route toUSAREC recruiting battalions. This au-thority may not be further delegated belowHQ, USAREC level.

b. Diversion action must be justified byclearly established operational necessity.Due consideration will be given to the po-tential adverse personal impact of short no-tice relocation of du ty s ta t ions onreplacements and their families.

c. The CG, USAREC, will report all ap-p r o v e d d i v e r s i o n s t o t h e C G ,MILPERCEN.

Section IIIStabilization and Assignment/Reassignment Policies

3-5. GeneralThe following policies apply to assignmentsand reassignments, both voluntary and op-erational, within the US Army RecruitingCommand.

a. Detailed recruiters will be establishedin USAREC for 36 months. (Procedures forrequesting retention in USAREC beyondthe initial detail period are covered in chap-ter 4 and chapter 6 for AGR personnel.)

b. Individuals (PMOS OOR) who are re-assigned to a new recruiting battalion, bri-gade headquarters, or HQ USAREC incur anew 3-year stabilization.

c. Recruiters must serve a minimum of24 months in a geographical location beforeany cost reassignment is authorized. De-tailed recruiters must also have approvalfrom MILPERCEN for ^classification toPMOS OOR before a cost move is author-ized. PMOS OOR is not currently authorizedfor AGR recruiters.

d. Station commanders, guidance coun-selors, operations NCOs, recruiting first ser-geants, and professional development NCOswill be stabilized for 24 months in their du-ty position as well as their duty location.This is necessary to reduce turbulence inthese key positions and to maximize the spe-cialized training provided. Every attemptshould be made to program attendance, atthe appropriate course of instruction priorto assignment to the key position. . *itf

e ARC instructors assigned to the Sol-dier Support Center are stabilized for 3years./ Reassignments should balance talent,

experience, and strength levels across thecommand.

g. Reassignment to a contiguous recruit-ing battalion is not authorized. An excep-tion to this policy is authorized for thereassignment of a recruiter from a recruitingbattalion to a co-located recruiting brigadeheadquarters, provided the reassignmentclearly provides for career progression.

h. Rehabilitative reassignments will notbe authorized as cost reassignments withoutdetailed justification (see para 3-7g).

I Individual preferences will be consid-ered when possible. Preference statementsmay be updated and submitted to HQUSAREC as often as an individual desiresfor use in the event that reassignment isnecessary to meet the needs of thecommand.

j. Normal and maximum tour lengths forcareer recruiting personnel are outlinedbelow:

(1) Command sergeant majors. Normaltour in the same recruiting brigade or inHQ USAREC is 30 months. CSM personnelare eligible to be moved upon the needs ofthe command within fiscal year PCSconstraints.

(2) Sergeant majors, and master ser-geants. Normal tour in the same recruitingbattalion, brigade, or in HQ USAREC is 3years; maximum time in the same unit is 4years. SGM and MSG personnel are eligibleto be moved between the 2d and 4th yearbased upon the needs of the command.

(3) Sergeant first class (P) and below.Normal tour in the same recruiting battal-ion, brigade, or in HQ USAREC is 3 years;maximum time in the same unit is 6 years.SFC(P) and below are eligible to be movedbetween the 2d and 6th year based on theneeds of the command.

(4) Active Guard/Reserve. AGR tourlengths will be as directed by HQDAOCAR and Cdr, ARPERCEN.

3-6. Senior NCO ReassignmentProgram

o. The maximum tour lengths prescribedin paragraph 3-5; provide the basis for theSenior NCO Reassignment Program (4/6-year program). The intent of this program isto ensure cross-leveling and distribution ofexperienced recruiters to new recruiting en-vironments and to provide for career pro-gression throughout the recruiting force.The Senior NCO Reassignment Programapplies to all career recruiting personnel as-signed to USAREC. Specifically, the pro-gram requires that—

(1) SGM and MSG personnel move atthe completion of 4 years in a recruitingbattalion, brigade headquarters, or HQUSAREC.

(2) SFC and below move at the comple-tion of 6 years in a recruiting battalion, bri-gade headquarters, or HQ USAREC.'

b. Due to the transition of maximumtour lengths from 6 years (for E7 and be-low) to 4 years (for E8 and above), individu-als in the grade of SFC(P) are unique andmay incur maximum tour lengths that fallbetween 4 and 6 years. For example, as longas an individual remains an SFC(P) he orshe is considered to have a maximum tourlength of 6 years in the same unit. However,upon actual promotion to E8, maximumtour length becomes 4 years. Accordingly, ifan SFC(P) is promoted to E8 after 1 year inthe unit, the individual must be reassignedat the completion of 5 years. If an SFC(P) ispromoted to E8 after 2 years in the unit, themaximum tour length is 6 years. The maxi-mum time in the same unit will not exceed 6years, or 4 years as an E8, whichever comesfirst.

c. In determining appropriate assign-ments for newly-selected E7(P) personnelinto E8 positions, consideration must begiven to insuring that the individual canserve up to 24 months in the new positionprior to reaching 6 years in the same unit. Ifthe individual has insufficient time remain-ing to accomplish this, he or she will beprogrammed for reassignment to an E8 po-sition in another unit.

d. Individuals must move at the comple-tion of their maximum tour lengths, regard-less of time served in the current dutylocation.

e. Individuals within 6 months of theirmaximum tour length will normally be con-sidered for command priorities and vacan-cies before ind iv idua l s who are notapproaching their required reassignmentdates./ If a recruiter is assigned to a station or

company that is redesignated as a unit in adifferent recruiting battalion, the initial re-porting date to that station or companycounts as assigned time in the new recruit-ing battalion. The total time assigned to thestation or company is considered toward themaximum tour length under the SeniorNCO Reassignment Program.

g. The Senior NCO Reassignment Pro-gram prescribes maximum tour lengths onlyand does not restrict earlier reassignment ifotherwise eligible.

3-7. Operational recruiterreassignments

a. Operational reassignments of Armyrecruiters impact on production capabilityand as such, are time sensitive. To respondto these requirements, the CG, USARECmay approve a maximum number (estab-lished yearly by Cdr, MILPERCEN) of ful-ly funded operational reassignmentsmonthly which involve a permanent changeof station (PCS). This authority may not befurther delegated below HQ, USAREC, lev-el. A monthly report of operational assign-ments approved by CG, USAREC, will befurnished to the CG, MILPERCEN.

b. All operational reassignments whichinvolve entitlement to a second payment ofa dislocation allowance within a fiscal year

22 JULY 1985 UPDATE »AR '601-1

and those assignments that would exceedthe CG, USARECs monthly approval ceil-ing will be forwarded to the CG,MILPERCEN, for approval. All operation-al reassignments for AGR personnel will beforwarded through command channels. Allassignments/reassignments for AGR per-sonnel wil l be forwarded to Cdr,ARPERCEN for approval.

c. Operational reassignments must bebased on valid requirements and sound jus-tification. Operational reassignments willnot be used as a substitute means to reassignrecruiters with personal problems thatwould normally be resolved through appli-cation for a compassionate reassignmentunder AR 614-200 or as a substitute meansfor joint domicile or other assignments. Ap-proval authority for these types of assign-ments rests with the CG, MILPERCEN/Cdr, ARPERCEN. Requests for compas-sionate reassignments must be submittedthrough the servicing military personnel of-fice (MILPO).

d. The policies outlined in paragraph 3-5apply to all operational reassignments,

e. Individuals in the TTE Program (seepara 2-11) will not be considered for opera-tional reassignment./ Operational reassignments should pro-

vide for career progression.(1) Examples of career progression reas-

signments are—(a) Field recruiter to station commander.(b) One-person station commander to

multi-person station commander.(c) Station commander to a staff recruiter

position.(2) Reassignments to identical positions,

such as field recruiter to field recruiter, willnot be supported unless they are submitteddue to station openings or closures or as re-habilitative operational reassignments.

g. Rehabilitative operational reassign-ments are authorized on a no cost or lowcost basis when an excellent possibility ex-ists that a marginal or unsatisfactory re-cruiter will be successfully retained inUSAREC as a result of the rehabilitativeaction. Rehabilitative reassignments at fullcost will be limited to exceptional caseswhich provide detailed justification and doc-umentation, to include evidence of remedialtraining, counseling statements, trainer'sevaluations, production records, etc. Otherrequirements that pertain to all requests forrehabilitative reassignments are as follows:

(1) Requests for rehabilitative reassign-ments must include a statement from the re-cruiter acknowledging that he or she hasbeen advised of the basis for the proposedrehabilitative reassignment.

(2) Individuals in the New RecruiterProgram should not be rehabilitatively reas-signed unless an exception to policy isgranted for extension of the New RecruiterProgram. Detailed justification and trainingdocumentation is required.

(3) Cadre personnel wil l only berehabilitatively reassigned to authorizedOOR positions.

t

(4) Upon approval of a rehabilitative op-erational reassignment, all supporting docu-mentation such as counseling statementsand training evaluations will be forwardedto the gaining unit. The recruiter will thenbe observed for a period of 6 months andevaluated. If sufficient improvement in per-formance has not occurred, action should beinitiated to request involuntary reassign-ment under paragraph 5-5 or 5-i.

h. Recruiter vacancies created by opera-tional reassignments normally will be filledby replacments who are newly assignedgraduates of the Army Recruiter Course.

i. Operational reassignments are catego-rized as either cost, low cost, or no costreassignments. Determination of the specificcategory will be made using the followingcriteria:

(1) Cosr move. A fully funded permanentPCS. Relocation of household goods andfamily members is authorized at Govern-ment expense.

(2) Low cost move. Reassignment to apcrmanenl duty station which obligates theGovernment to not more than J100. Relo-cation of household goods and family mem-bers at G o v e r n m e n t expense is notauthorized with a low cost move.

(3) No cost move. A change in duty sta-tion or duty position that involves no costwhatsoever to the Government.

j. Requests for all types of operationalmoves must be submitted for approval toHQ, USAREC. All reassignments, includ-ing those that involve a position change on-ly, affect indiviudal records, utilitization,variable bousing allowance (VHA) etc., and,therefore, must be centrally managed.Recruiters will not be moved without theapproval of HQ, USAREC and not prior toissuance of reassignment orders by the ser-vicing MILPO. The Cdr. ARPERCEN willissue reassignment orders on all AGR per-sonnel. Commanders who direct movementof recruiters without proper authority maybe personally liable for costs incurred. HQ,USAREC. will not backdate the authorityfor movement in order to compensate forlack of obtaining proper approval.

k. The format for submission of opera-tional reassignments is at figure 3-1. Thesubject line on the request will reflect thespecific type of move requested (cost, lowcost, or no cost). Requirements for submis-sion are as follows:

(1) Operational requests will includecomplete gaming/losing station informa-tion, to include names of incumbents andreplacements, unit identification codes(UIC), Recruiting Station IdentificationCodes (RSID). city. State, and ZIP Codes.

(2) Cost moves should be submitted atleast 60 days prior to requested reportingdate and low cost/no cost moves at. least 45days, except in unusual circumstances suchAS relief.

L Operational reassignments may be di-rected by HQ, USAREC to balance com-mand strength and experience levels, to fillcritical recruiting vacancies, or to manage

the recruiting force in accordance with es-tablished priorities and polices. All person-nel are eligible to be invo lun ta r i lyreassigned by HQ USAREC upon comple-tion of 2 years in their current duty loca-tion, although every effort will be made toavoid such situations and allow completionof a normal 3 year tour. Priority for invol-untary reassignment will be given to indi-viduals within 6 months of their maximumtour lengths in accordance with the SeniorNCO Reassignment Program (para 3-6).Procedures for HQ, US AR EC-directed op-erational reassignments are as follows:

(1) Individual preference statements willbe taken into consideration, if previouslysubmitted.

(2) If the individual's preference cannotbe honored, then the service member will benotified of available command priority as-signments identified by HQ, USAREC. Eve-ry effort will be made to offer the individualat least three choices. However, in isolatedcases, a selection may not be offered due toa priority requirement.

(3) When the individual is given a choiceof alternative assignments, selection must besubmitted in writing by the established sus-pense dale. If no response is received by theestablished suspense date, HQ. USAREC.will issue assignment instructions to a com-mand priority assignment.

(4) Once the assignment is determined,coordination will be made with the gainingunit for a station level assignment. The re-quest for orders w i l l be publ ishedaccordingly.

m. Once an individual has been identifiedin writing for an operational reassignmentand notified by the chain of command, novoluntary request for reassignment will beaccepted from the individual. Local com-manders are responsible for expeditiouslynotifying individuals of operational reas-signment actions.

3-8. Nominative USAREC assignmentsa. Selected USAREC staff, liaison NCO,

and instructor positions require exceptional-ly qualified personnel wi th specializedrecruiting skills. These positions are identi-fied as nominative positions and are author-ized only for career OOR personnel. Theexception will be for AGR positions withcareer OOE personnel who are not currentlyauthorized MOS OOR. Nominative positionsare managed as follows:

(1) Recruiting brigades are responsiblefor providing qualified nominees for a se-lected number and type of positions. Thesepositions arc identified to recruiting bri-gades on a "fair-share" basis, given theoverall personnel strength of the brigadeand the number of positions to be filled.

(2) Once nominated, individuals undergoa detailed screening process before final se-lection is made. Appropriate commandersand individuals are notified concerning theselection process.

SDAPPwill not be terminated prior to departure forindividuals being reassigned unless suspen-sion is directed as an exception to policy.However, on a case-by-case basis, recruitersin these two categories may be suspended bythe recruiting battalion or brigade com-mander, provided detailed justification isforwarded through command channels withthe reassignment action.

c. Suspended recruiters are not entitledlo SDAPP because they arc removed fromtheir recrui t ing dut ies . Termination ofSDAPP is effective on the date of suspen-sion. Accordingly, commanders must re-view each case t h o r o u g h l y prior tosuspension to ensure that the basis for theaction is adequate. When a recruiter is sus-pended, he or she must be notified in writ-ing, both of the basis for the suspension andof the action to terminate SDAPP per AR600-200, paragraphs 6-3 and 6-4 or AR135-205, chapter 6 for AGR personnel.

the chain of command. Prior to taking anyaction to reinstate an individual to duty, thebrigade commander will obtain a legalreview.

b. Au tho r i t y is delegated to eachUSAREC Deputy Commanding General(East and West) to reinstate suspendedrecruiting personnel in cases of alleged im-proper recruiting practices where the allega-tions made against them are adequatelyrefuted by rebuttal or by information pro-vided by commanders in ihe chain of com-mand. Legal review will be obtained priorto reinstatement.

c. A letter of notification will be fur-nished to the recruiter concerned when rein-statement is approved. The letter ofnotification will provide the effective date ofthe reinstatement, if different from the dateof the basic letter.

a. All recruiters recommended for invol-untary reassignment will continue to worknormal duty hours in an authorized Gov-ernment place of duty in accordance withthe guidelines below. Under no conditionswill a recruiter's domicile be designated orconsidered a place of duty pending receiptof assignment instructions.

(1) Recruiters recommended for reassign-ment as unqualified or ineffective per para-graph 5-4 or 5-5 should remain on positivemission performing normal duties untiltheir departure. This policy is based on theneed to use all personnel productively.Recruiters used in this manner will continueto be authorized SDAPP and should contin-ue to work in their assigned duty station sothat temporary duty expenses are not in-curred. Exceptions to this policy are theprerogative of the recruiting battalion com-mander but must be documented with sup-porting justification in the forwardingcorrespondence to the recruiting brigadecommander.

(2) Recruiters pending reassignment asunsuitable per paragraph 5-6 (and ineffec-tive and unqualified recruiters suspended asan exception to paragraph (1) above) will besuspended and removed from the directprocessing of applicants for enlistment.SDAPP will be terminated, and the individ-ual will be given administrative/logisticalduties in support of the command in a placeof duty that will be determined on a case-by-case basis, considering—

(a) The reason the recruiter was recom-mended for reassignment.

(b) The geographical, time, and distancefactors involved.

(3) Recruiters pending involuntary reas-signment will be used within their own unitsin USAREC if possible. The first priority

13

for utilization location must always be theindividual's permanent duty station since nofunding is involved. If the recruiter cannotbe used productively in his or her assignedduty station, or if the nature of his or herconduct makes retention in the assigned sta-tion counterproductive to mission accom-plishment, the recruiter may be directed toperform temporary duty at the closest prac-ticable station, company, or USAREC loca-tion within the recruiting battalion. Becausetravel and other entitlements are involvedwhen temporary duty arrangements are di-rected, commanders must ensure adequatefunding is available and that the temporaryduty is properly administered.

b. Recruiting brigade commanders areauthorized to approve attachments of bri-gade personnel to a recruiting -battalion,area, or station headquarters within theirarea of responsibility. This authority doesnot extend to attachments of brigade per-sonnel to other brigades, installations, arse-nals, reserve units, or any other unit that isnot a USAREC unit, regardless of location.Brigade commanders must adhere to all re-quirements within paragraph 5-15, prior toapproving an attachment, and ensure that acopy of all attachment correspondence isfurnished to Commander, USAREC,ATTN: USARCPA-PS-E. AGR personnelwill not be reassigned without prior approv-al and issuance of orders by Cdr,ARPERCEN.

5-15. Attachment of recruiters toCONUS military Installations pendingreassignment

a. Recruiters who are pending involunta-ry reassignment from recruiting duty for al-leged violations of a serious or violentnature, or who arc so disruptive or discred-itable to the daily operation that local con-trol is not considered manageable, may beconsidered for attachment to CONUS in-stallations. Attachments of this nature areto be requested only as a last resort andmust be fully justified. A request for reas-signment of a recruiter under this regulationdoes not in itself provide evidence that therecruiter should be attached outside thecommand. Every effort must be made—

(1) To use personnel productively forUSAREC.

(2) To ensure personnel are available fornecessary processing of personnel actions.

(3) To minimize unnecessary hardship onsoldiers and family members.

(4) To minimise costs to the government.b. All requests for attachments outside of

USAREC must be submitted through therecruiting brigade headquarters to Cdr,USAREC, ATTN: USARCPA-PS-E, forapproval. Requests should be forwarded toHQ, USAREC only after a determinationhas been made by recruiting battalion andrecruiting brigade commanders that attach-ment to their headquarters or to anotherUSAREC unit within their area of responsi-bility will not alleviate the problem. All re-quests for attachment will contain thefollowing information:14

(1) Detailed justification, to include—(a) The violations of the recruiter.(b) The date the relief packet was

initiated.(c) An explanation of why the recruiter

should not be used within his or her ownunit

(2) Projected daily cost of the attachmentand basis for the projection (within oroutside commuting area, location in relationto the soldier's permanent quarters, mileage,etc.)

(3) Ant ic ipa ted d u r a t i o n of theattachment.

(4) Individual's PMOS/SMOS and ETS.(5) Individual's marital/family situation

and the effect that attachment will have, ifany, on that situation.

(6) Name, location, and distance of theArmy installation nearest the individual'spermanent duty station.

c. In those cases of attachments outsideUSAREC that appear justified, the CG,USAREC will coordinate with the properCONUS MACOM for the attachment. TheCONUS MACOM will accept recruiters forattachment to installations under their juris-diction when requested by the CG,USAREC. Once the action has been coordi-nated USAREC will notify the units con-cerned and request attachment orders fromthe servicing personnel office. Funding isthe responsibility of the recruiting battalionor brigade concerned.

d. Attachments will normally not exceed60 days. Every effort must be made to ter-minate the attachment as soon as possibleand return the individual to USAREC con-trol. If attachment beyond the initial 60days is necessary, detailed justification isagain required.

e. Recruiting battalion and brigade com-manders must ensure that soldiers attachedto CONUS installations are monitored andthat all actions are processed promptly.

/ The Cdr, ARPERCEN, will be the fi-nal approval authority on attachment ofAGR personnel outside USAREC.

^ F o r u M of thii form. !•• AR 601-1; tht proponent agtncv '• DCSPER.NAME OF CANDIDATE (Lait. Middle) GRADE SSN LENGTH OF TIME COMMANDER

In items 1 through 12 below there it a brief narrative describing environmentalfactors of recruiting duty followed by a related question. Considering thesefactors, for each item indicate the degree of agreement with the followingquestions as being descriptive of the assessed candidate.

1 . A recruiter is normally assigned to a station consisting of two to fiverecruiters. Recruiting requires that an individual perform many tasks withminimum direct supervision. Each station has an overall recruiting mission tobe successful and requires a combined team effort to accomplish this mission,la the candidate reliable, loyal, cooperative, and a team player?

2. A recruiter hat a great deal of independence of action. The recruiter must becapable of working with minimum aupervision and must motivate himself/herself to prospect on a daily basis. Is the candidate an independent worker,a self-starter? Doei he/she seek responsibility?

3. Recruiters must interact and communicate with people of various educationalleveli. They must be capable of speaking to small and large groups as well asindividuals, Could the candidate maintain a, conversational dialogue with schoolofficials, civic leaders, etc.?

4 . Recruiting is similar to selling in that it requires personnel who can presentthe Army story in a convincing and innovative manner, and be able to closesales. The basic tools are provided; however, each recruiter must develop atechnique for using them. Is the candidate industrious, aggressive, imaginative,and organized?

5. Recruiters should represent the best the Army has to offer in terms ofpast performance and potential fu ture contributions to the Army. Does thecandidate demonstrate promotion and school potential?

6. The average duty day for a recruiter is a minimum of 10 hours. Recruiter*routinely work in the evenings and on Saturdays. Although he/she may presentlybe an outstanding NCO, without a solid family life at home, duty performancecould rapidly decline A soldier's family is the cornerstone of his/her morale.Does the candidate have a stable family home life?

7. The recruiter is the Army in the community. First impressions are lastingimpressions. Does the candidate present an above average appearance? Pridein uniform? Physical condition?

8. Recruiters are viewed within the community as leaden. They must presentthemselves in such a manner as to always inspire confidence in our Army. Theymust lead by setting the example. Does the candidate demonstrate leadershipappropriate to grade**

9. Because they live in the civilian community, recruiters are constantly underscrutiny. Recruiter standards of conduct must be exemplary. Does thecandidate demonstrate professional and personal maturity on and off duty?

10. Due to the wide-spread geographic assignments within USAREC. recruitersdo not always have access to the normal benefits of military life. Recruitersmust be capable of overcoming this separation from normal support andperforming the mission despite it. Positive attitude must be influential onothers. Does the candidate display a positive attitude? Is he/she motivatedand enthusiastic?
