In accordance with COMDTINST 1330.1E, Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS), PSC-RPM is responsible for centralized management of Long-Term, Non-Contingency ADOS.  This encompasses ADOS assignments that are greater than 180 days in duration, and not supporting a Coast Guard contingency (e.g., Overseas Contingency operations supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom/Enduring Freedom, Deepwater Horizon, etc.).  ADOS assignments in support of contingency operations and Short-Term ADOS are managed by PSC’s Personnel Services Division, Surge Staffing Section (PSC-PSD-SSS).

PSC-RPM announced the centralization of Long-Term Non-Contingency ADOS management in ALCGPSC 099/22.

The Long-Term Non-Contingency ADOS assignment process mirrors the established SELRES PCS assignment process and is managed within Direct Access. Effective FY18 the Direct Access Mobilization System is being utilized to solicit requests for Long-Term Non-Contingency ADOS support. 

The basic process for Long-Term Non-Contingency ADOS management is as follows:

1. ADOS Requestor:

   1. The ADOS requestor acquires funding and submits approved position number, position requirements, description of duties, and a unit POC to the PSC-RPM-2 Long-Term Non-Contingency email address at: HQS-SMB-LTNon-ContingencyADOS@uscg.mil. ADOS cap managers may submit this information on the requestor's behalf. A valid position number is critical to the ADOS request, as it ensures that funding has been approved by CG-832. ADOS requestors should contact their ADOS cap manager, as identified in ALCOAST 279/22, with any questions concerning funding and position numbers. The Long-Term Non-Contingency ADOS for Personnel Support Request Form can be viewed here (Long-Term Non-Contingency ADOS for Personnel Support Request Form).
