Section IV
Manning of Mobilizing Units

2-9. Manning

a. Ensure all units are not directly manage by AHRC, as outlined in the manning guidance. If
cross leveling cannot achieve the specified floors, Commands must notify AHRC.
1. Senior Mission Commanders are responsible for ensuring fill of their co-located
subordinate units. AHRC will fill geographically separated/dispersed elements from the Parent
Brigade level Headquarters through inbound assignments or by cross-leveling on the
installation.
2. The Active Component Manning Guidance (HQDA EXORD 165-16) dated 5 April
2016 sets forth the guidance for manning deploying AC units. Under no circumstance, will a unit
drawdown below mission capable status unless approved by HQDA G-3/5/7.
3. Submit ASCC requests for distribution action to HQDA G-3/5/7, DAMO-ODO and
must include a statement that internal distribution actions would require draw down of an active
Army unit below current directed strength management levels.
4. Manning of rotational forces for non-hostile fire pay areas (Korea and European
Reassurance Initiative – Operation Atlantic Resolve (ERI-OAR)) will be executed in accordance
with HQDA EXORD 154-16 Rotational Business Rules.

b. Manning of RC Units. NG and AR are not authorize to cross-level between compos; cross
leveling between AR MSCs requires CG, USARC approval. Cross leveling is to be complete
prior to the effective date of mobilization for the alerted RC units.

c. Cross-leveling of Non-Alerted Units. Reserve Component (RC) units not on alert are
permitted to involuntary cross-level consistent with the reasonable-commuting-distance
limitations found in AR 135-91, and AR 140-10. If a RC Soldier is involuntarily cross-leveled to
a unit outside of the reasonable commuting distance (as that term is defined in AR 140-10, he or
she must be afforded the opportunity to conduct rescheduled Inactive Duty Training (IDT) within
a reasonable commuting distance from his or her residence. Limitation is not applicable to IDT
where the Army provides the RC Soldier with transportation, quarters, and subsistence relative
to such training.

2-10. RC Cross-leveling Non-Alerted to Alerted Units

a. National Guard State Adjutants General (TAGs) and the Commander, US Army Reserve
Command (USARC) have the authority to cross-level RC Soldiers (voluntarily or involuntarily)
from any unit within their command prior to mobilization in order to increase personnel
readiness of an alerted or sourced unit. Non-deploying units, however, will not be decremented
below the minimum acceptable personnel readiness levels in accordance with AR 200-1 ,
b. A Sourced Unit is any unit that is identified to fill a known Theater or COCOM operations
support requirement. These units are given the highest priority for resourcing and are referred to
as Deployment Expeditionary Force (DEF) units. These units are primarily identified during
Sourcing conferences (DA/JFCOM/FORSCOM/CENTCOM). As requirements change, other
units commonly referred to as Contingency Expeditionary Force (CEF) or Ready Expeditionary
Force (REF) will be identified as sourced units to fill these additional requirements.
