Individual Volunteers & Replacements

4-1. Background

a. The Army continues to streamline the process that the RC Soldiers volunteers for active-
duty; it has been a team effort.

1) In 2003, G-3's technical support team (Team DAMPS) built the original DAMPS-S system, a
classified web application that accepts manually scanned RC CO-ADOS volunteer paper
requests for HQDA validation and approval.

2) In 2008, Human Resources Command sponsored a Lean Six Sigma ADOS initiative, which
included stakeholders across the Army. That effort led to simplified manual ADOS procedures
that reduced and standardized document requirements across component. The L6S team
further advocated completely automated procedures for ADOS.

3) DAMPS-A makes automated procedures a reality. Today, Soldiers are supporting missions
around the world due to the progressive change DCS-G-3/5/7 makes to bringing volunteers and
valid mission positions together.

Today, RC Soldiers of the Selective Reserve may access MOBCOP to view what positions
are available for fill for Operational Support.
The Army continues to streamline the process that the RC Soldiers volunteers for active-duty; it
