DESERT SHIELD/STORM LESSONS LEARNED REPORT #Q
 
POC: J. HERBERTSON/SGR/6490 
TITLE: Substitution Guidance 
 
OBSERVATION: AFSC substitution for retired regular members who had been exempted became 
a problem. 
 
DISCUSSION: Replacing retired regular members who were exempted became a serious 
problem. SG was unable to fill certain AFSCs and was not given guidance regarding what, 
if any, were acceptable AFSC substitutions. Could a 9156A substitute for a 9156G or a 
90299 substitute for a 90272? The guidance that was given was given after incorrect 
replacements had already been made. SG was only able to fill 3 of a requested 17 
surgeons due to exemptions and no available replacements. We did not have the authority 
to use replacements from the IRR. 
 
LESSONS LEARNED: Substitution guidance is needed for any future contingency. 
 
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Develop a policy at the onset of a contingency regarding allowable 
AFSC substitution.
