    Study Notes

    Allocation Manager

    • PERS-4013 (NAVPERSCOM Enlisted Placement Management Branch) manages personnel allocation.
    • They oversee assignments and personnel actions to fill vacancies, adhering to MCA policies.

    Excess Personnel Assignments

    • Sailors in commands exceeding funded billets lack guaranteed backfill.
    • Unfunded billet alignments are typically one-time actions.

    Excess Positions

    • Commands create excess positions for specific purposes (e.g., temporary, specialized assignments).
    • MCA-created positions (by rating, pay grade, and NEC) can be "refillable excess billets" for Sailor assignments.
    • After a Sailor rotates, the MCA determines if the "refillable excess billet" continues.
    • If the need persists, a requisition is generated; assignments proceed normally.
    • If the need ceases, the MCA removes the "refillable excess billet."

    Held Billets

    • Some billets remain unfilled at a command.
    • These billets are flagged "held" in MNA.
    • Requisitions exist but detailing isn't advertised until the MCA releases the hold.

    Assignment Process & Personnel Readiness

    • Placement Coordinators ensure assignment process success and personnel readiness.
    • Receiving commands review and verify orders for detailed personnel.

    Manning Actions

    • FRIs initiate manning actions correcting mission capability deficiencies via PMAR.
    • TYCOMs ensure compliance with PERSMAR reporting, assist units, and meet minimum manning thresholds.
    • TYCOMs require submission of modified PERSMARs annually in October from aviation squadrons, ships, or other commands that are homeported overseas, permanently deployed, or employ a detachment concept of operations.
    • PMAR functions inside MNA route manning actions affecting alignment, location, training or transfer status.
    • PERS-4013 will initiate a deployment manning plan of action and milestones messages to all deploying units, to include a guide for planning and addressing command personnel manning issues and information regarding the strike group manning workshops.

    Personnel Turbulence Mitigation

    • PRD Adjustment minimizes personnel turbulence, improves manning stability during deployments, overhauls, and special missions, and gives the distribution system time to resolve manning issues.
    • PRD adjustments can range from -6 months (early transfer) to +6 months (extended assignment).
    • CO may request PRD adjustments at a maximum of plus or minus 90 days from established PRD per sea to shore flow.

    PCS Divert

    • PCS Divert resolves another command's manning deficiency. Entries are made in MNA; ideal if the old and new activities are similar.

    Extraordinary Personnel Actions

    • OPHOLD is a personnel action affecting Sailors under sea duty orders. It's used in exceptional circumstances at sea duty commands only.
    • OPHOLD requests are sent by commands using naval message to their PC.
    • OPHOLD requests for type-4 duty (overseas sea duty) will not normally extend more than 2 months beyond the DoD area tour applicable to the Sailor.

    Assignment in Incorrect Pay Grade

    • Assignment of personnel in a pay grade not equal to the requisition pay grade is a PAYSUB.

    Other Personnel Actions

    • DRATE: Aligning a Sailor to a billet outside their actual rating.
    • DNEC: A management tool to match an individual to a command's authorization for an NEC.
    • EMIR: MNA provides commands with near real-time enlisted distribution information.

    • Pregnant Sailors will not normally remain on board a sea duty command past the 20th week of pregnancy.
    • A command with a BA of 35 should have no more than seven pregnant Sailors from sea duty assigned at any one time.

    PERSMAR Program

    • The PERSMAR Program was developed to provide a means for exchanging information between personnel managers and activities scheduled for deployment.
    • Commands submit a PERSMAR Initial Report twelve months prior to deployment.
    • Commands submit a PERSMAR SITREP message to identify and report personnel shortages below BA by rate, rating or NEC six months prior to deployment.
    • For Sea Operational Detachments (SEAOPDET), PERSMARs will be submitted within the first 10 days of January each year.
