4-2. Validation and Approval Authorities for OS Requirements

a. CO-ADOS Requirements. AR 135-210, the DCS, G-3 (DAMO-ODM) validates CO-ADOS
requirements in support of contingency operations and defined in Title 10, USC, Section 101
(a)(13).

1) The DCS, G-3 validates and approves specific Soldiers for fill against validated CO-
ADOS requirements.
2) The DCS, G-3 will revalidate and approve extensions of all CO-ADOS requirements.
3) The DCS, G-3 will use the Department of the Army Mobilization Processing System
(DAMPS) in validating CO-ADOS requirements and approving Soldiers for fill against CO-ADOS
requirements, and DAMPS information will made available to HRC program managers to ensure
there is an authoritative and reconcilable record of all CO-ADOS Soldiers.

b. ADOS Requirements. In accordance with AR 135-210, the DCS, G-1 validates ADOS
requirements for non-contingency, operational support missions that are funded by the Military
Personnel, Army (MPA) appropriation.

1) The DCS, G-1 will use Tour of Duty (TOD) in validating ADOS requirements and
approving Soldiers for fill against ADOS requirements.
2) The DCS, G-1 revalidates and approves extensions of all ADOS requirements.

4-3. Management Controls

a. Regardless of the duration of OS orders, RC Soldiers will remain in Reserve systems for
management and officers will remain on the Reserve Active Status List (RASL). RC Soldiers will
move to active management and officers will move to Active Duty List (ADL) only if they apply
and approve for accession into the Active Army.

NOTE:
Commanders are responsible to ensure Soldiers on OS orders are REFRAD from active duty by
the termination date. If the mission is ongoing and valid, units must initiate a request for
amendment to orders in a timely fashion (60-90 days). The needs of the Army is the primary
consideration, termination of orders for Soldiers on ADOS, ADOS-RC, or FTNGD-OS orders
may be released before their orders termination date.

b. The Army will work with Soldiers who wish to remain on orders and can fill another valid
position/mission. Things that will fall into consideration:
1) Soldiers limited to 1095 days of OS service, and missions must meet the needs of the
Army. Big Army will always look to RC resource, to prevent "three year" or "three-out-of-four-
year" rule. (AR 135-200 para 1-5)
2) Commanders should always identify in detail why the Soldier they request fill the
position, RC count against Active Duty or AGR end strength (as appropriate).
3) Accordingly, OS orders will count against Active Duty or AGR end strength and
require a signature from a BG or SES equivalent.

c. The request will be sent through HRC to the approval and validation authorities. However,
before doing so, consider documenting long-term manning requirements as full-time billets on
unit staffing documents.
