Reassignments

Reassignments: The goal of the personnel assignment system is to place the right Soldier in the right job at the right time. AR 614–100 and AR 614–200 provide overviews of the personnel assignment system. Department of the Army (DA) directed enlisted reassignments are in accordance with guidance contained in AR 614–200 and AR 614–30. DA directed officer reassignments are in accordance with guidance contained in AR 614–100. The personnel reassignment process ensures that the eligibility of Soldiers who receive AI is verified, that travel assistance is provided, that Soldiers are prepared for movement, and that their departure is verified. Reassignment processing begins upon receipt of AI, and ends with the issuance of PCS orders in accordance with AR 600–8–105.

 

The Reassignment Work Center (RWC) processes the following orders:

  •          PCS orders (including amendment and revocations)
  •          North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Travel orders
  •          IPCOT (In Place Consecutive Overseas Tour) orders
  •          SRU (Soldier Recovery Unit) orders
  •          Confinement orders
  •          Excess Leave orders
  •          TCS (deployment) orders
  •          Casualty orders

You have been notified that you are on assignment, how do you get your PCS Orders?

STEP 3: COMPLETE THE REASSIGNMENT CHECKLIST AND GATHER APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

 

Note: The DA Form 5118 is provided by the Military Personnel Division Reassignment Work Center to your S1.

STEP 4: SUBMIT COMPLETE REASSIGNMENT PACKET WITH ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO YOUR S1

*Incomplete packets will only delay the receipt of your orders.

Once your reassignment packet has been received by MPD, it will be worked in the order received. We have 10 days from the receipt of your packet to produce your orders. Again, an incomplete/inaccurate packet will only delay the receipt of your orders. We will review your reassignment packet when we begin to prepare your orders. Any incomplete packets will be returned at that time, thus delaying the process.

YOU RECEIVED YOUR PCS ORDERS, WHAT IS NEXT?

First, please verify that your PCS orders are correct. Are you dependents listed if Command sponsored or going to another OCONUS assignment? If married or you have dependents and you are going CONUS if there a city, state and zip code of your dependents location on your orders?  

If any changes are needed to your PCS Orders, you will require an amendment. Please submit a copy of your orders along with the documents to support the requested changes to your S1. If you are recently married (during this tour) please provide a DD Form 1172.

Please note that if you are going FROM, THROUGH or TO a restricted area a waiver will be required at your final out. Please ensure that you get with your S1 to determine if a waiver is required and if so that they are processing it.
