4-4. Qualification Criteria

a. Procedures to source, request, deploy and receive individual augmentees. This includes
IRR, retirees, and IMA Soldiers. All regulatory personnel requirements for mobilization apply to
each Soldiers status. There are four distinct actions required for each Reserve component (RC)
alert/mobilization request: approval, coordination, notification, and release. All requests must
process through the weekly Joint Mobilization Meeting and the Secretary of Defense Operations
Book (SDOB) to ensure timely release of alert/mobilization orders. The military Department
Secretaries may approve individual mobilization orders for emergent requirements and special
capabilities with no less than 30 days notification, and all Military Department criteria met.

b. All voluntary mobilizations, including those exceeding 12 months, individuals with a dwell
ration less than 1:4 or individuals with less than 90 days between mobilization order approval
and the Military Department Secretaries may approve mobilization date. Service members may
waive the 30-day notification requirement for voluntary or involuntary mobilizations. A Derivative
Unit Identification Code (DUIC) may be created to form a tailored force to meet Forces
Command (FORSCOM) defined requirements when a full parent unit is not required. Issue a
DUIC base on approval by HQDA G-3/5/7.

4-5. REFRAD
Units and individual Soldiers will demobilize from the same installation that processed them to
active duty unless otherwise directed.

4–6. Requirements for Fill

a. Individual Augmentation (IA):
These requirements are commonly referred to as WIAS requirements because they are found in
the Worldwide Individual Augmentation System (WIAS). Using WIAS, HQDA through Army G-
3/5/7 will task Army Commands (ACOM), Army Service Component Commands (ASCC) and
Direct Reporting Units (DRU) to provide the personnel to fill Joint Staff approved Joint Manning
Document (JMD) positions or Request for Forces (RFF).
IA’s are temporary duty positions (military or civilian) identified by a supported COCOM to
augment operations during contingencies. This includes positions required to satisfy a
heightened mission need in direct support of contingency operations. IAs may be assigned for
performing a specific mission, even though their assignment exceeds unit-authorized strength
(Reference DA PAM 500-5-1, Individual Augmentation Management).
In order to gain approval for IA fill, ACOMs, ASCCs and DRUs must follow the procedures
outlined in CJCSI 1301.01D and DA Pam 500-5-1. Units can request a WIAS account at
https://wias.pentagon.mil/.

b. HQDA G-3/5/7 DAMO-ODO tasks Active Army units for fill, or can solicit for volunteers
among all Army components IAW reference in 5-2(a)(1). ACOMs, ASCCs and DRUs can solicit
volunteers from the Reserve Component (to include retired Soldiers) to fill their WIAS takings.
Unfilled positions in Army organizations that HQDA G-3/5/7 has validated through the Force
Management System Web Site (FMSW eb) for fill under ADOS or retiree recall. This includes
vacancies in Table of Distribution and Allowances (TDA)/Modification Table of Organization and
Equipment (MTOE) deploying units (MOB TDA vacancies) and vacancies in deploying RC units.
ACOMs, ASCCs and DRUs can solicit volunteers from the Reserve Component (to include
retired Soldiers) to fill their vacancies by using Tour of Duty at https://mobcop.arm
