Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) / Drilling Individual Mobilization Augmentee (DIMA) Program
The overall objective of the IMA program is to facilitate the rapid expansion of the Active Army wartime structure of the department of Defense and/or other departments or agencies of the U.S. Government to meet military manpower requirements in the event of military contingency, pre-mobilization, mobilization, sustainment, and / or demobilization operations. The IMA Program is governed by Department of Defense Instruction 1235.11 (Management of Individual Mobilization Augmentees), and Army Regulation 140-145 Individual Mobilization Augmentation (IMA) Program.
Key Points
-
The IMA authorized strength for FY 12 is 4000. The Office of the Chief, Army Reserve (OCAR) reviews strength reports from the U.S. Army Human Resources Command for determination of budget execution and Requirements and Management Program (RAMP) strength.
-
IMA position requirements are established on Mobilization Table of Distribution and Allowances (MOBTDA) by active component agencies based on mobilization requirements. Changes are submitted by proponent agencies and entered into The Army Authorization Document System-Reserve (TAADS-R) system during Management of Change (MOC) processing cycles.
-
A Drilling IMA (DIMA) may be authorized to perform up to 48 paid Inactive Duty Training (IDT) periods (depending on available funds) in addition to 12 days Annual Training (AT).
The Soldier and the IMA agency coordinator plan dates for completion of IDT and AT. The agency prepares the DA Form 1380 within 72 hours after completion of IDT and certifies satisfactory performance in accordance with AR 140-145. Certifying officers or their designated representatives must have an AHRC Form 3 on file with the HRC Reserve Pay.
