Army Expeditionary Civilian Workforce

The Army Expeditionary Civilian Workforce (AECW) has deployment opportunities available for current Army civilians.  These are TDY assignments for 6, 9, or 12 months, with a variety of locations available. The deployments are considered details to a set of duties, with no change to an employee's permanent grade or position of record.  The grade level listed is a suggested grade for the experience desired; employees can be at a grade level that is close (plus or minus 1 grade interval) from what is listed.  The assignment is considered a Detail to a set of duties in a TDY status.

Some locations offer financial incentives such as Post Differential or overtime, but this varies by position and location.  Most importantly, these deployments offer career broadening experiences at a level and scope that is difficult to match in a non-deployed setting.  It is the chance of a lifetime to truly make a difference and to contribute in a meaningful way in direct support of our deployed Soldiers.

These are deployments in field conditions.  Individuals should expect to be housed in government-provided quarters (to include tents, barracks, or other similar facilities), with shared rooms, shared restroom/shower facilities, and meals provided in a DFAC.  All deployments are in an unaccompanied status (Family Members cannot accompany the deployer).

The assignments are available to current permanent Army civilians. Individuals on overseas assignments must have at least 18 months remaining prior to their Date of Return from Overseas Station (DEROS). Civilians who are in the Reserves must be in a Retired or Standby status (i.e., cannot be in the Ready Reserves as this would be a dual obligation for deployment). Civilians must have or be able to obtain a security clearance, at least at the Interim Secret level.  Some positions require higher clearances as noted.

The AECW directly funds the TDY expenses for deployment and provides reimbursement to commands for other deployment-related expenses such as post differential, danger pay (if authorized), and overtime (if authorized).

Here a list of current and projected future deployment opportunities. Will you answer the call?
