Section I
Deployment Cycle Support

3–1. Purpose

To provide guidance, business practices, and policy for all personnel supporting the Overseas
Contingency Operation (OCO). This includes Active Component (AC) Soldier, Reserve
Component (RC) Soldier (USAR and ARNG), appropriated/non-appropriated DA civilian,
contractor, Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) civilian personnel, Red Cross
volunteer, and any other military service member deploying or re-deploying in support of OCO.

3–2. Deployment Eligibility

Deployment eligibility is determined in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary
of the Army. All military personnel must meet Soldier readiness standards in accordance with
AR 600-8- 101, Human Resources (HR)-General HR Processing (In-, Out-, Soldier Readiness,
and Deployment Cycle Support (DCS)).

3–3. General Guidance

If pending voluntary separation, discharge, or transfer to the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) or
the Retired Reserve, for other than maximum age or other disqualifying reason, the voluntary
action must be effective prior to the unit/individual's mobilization date. Other voluntary and
involuntary separations will be handled on a case-by-case basis as they occur.
Voluntary Separation Actions include Title 32 AGR Soldiers who have been non- selected by
the Active Service Tour Continuation Board (ASTCB) and who have elected to retire. They must
begin transition leave prior to publication of the unit alert order by HQDA. These Soldiers will
continue to process for separation.
