Long-Term, Non-Contingency Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS)
Management Process
In accordance with COMDTINST 1330.1D, Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS), PSC-RPM is responsible for central management of long-term, non-contingency ADOS. This encompasses ADOS assignments that are greater than 180 days in length, which are not supporting a Coast Guard contingency (e.g., Overseas Contingency Orders supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom/Enduring Freedom, Operation Deepwater Horizon, etc.). ADOS assignments in support of contingency operations are managed by PSC’s Personnel Services Division, Surge Staffing Branch (PSC-psd-ssb).
PSC-rpm announced the centralization of long-term, non-contingency ADOS management via ALCGPSC 096-12.
To the extent possible, the long-term, non-contingency ADOS assignment process will mirror the established SELRES PCS assignment process with all long-term, non-contingency ADOS assignments being managed within Direct Access. Effective FY13, the Mobilization Readiness Tracking Tool (MRTT) will no longer be used to solicit requests for long-term, non-contingency ADOS support.

As outlined in the flowchart, the basic process for long-term, non-contingency ADOS management is as follows:
- PSC-rpm-2 receives a request for long-term, non-contingency ADOS support from a unit/entity with an approved ADOS allocation. Click here for a sample message format to request long-term, non-contingency ADOS support.
- PSC-rpm-2 releases an ALCGRSV message soliciting volunteers for the ADOS assignment based on the requestor’s ADOS support requirements. Click here for a sample solicitation message.
- Interested members apply for the ADOS assignment via E-resume submission in Direct Access.
- PSC-rpm creates a slate of candidates based on E-resume submissions received and selects the best-qualified candidate for the ADOS assignment.
- PSC-rpm notifies the member, the member’s command, and the ADOS requestor of the selection and processes the member’s PCS assignment to the ADOS unit. Click here for a sample notification message.
- PSC-rpm provides the member’s command with information required to complete the member’s ADOS orders.
