CATEGORY: Manpower and Personnel 
 
ISSUE ITEM : 
 
SUBJECT: Reserve Augmentation 
BACKGROUND: Better identification of ARC skills prior to 
call-up is essential. Unit manning documents identified 
flight surgeons, general surgeons, and general duty nurses. 
Upon activation we found the personnel assigned these 
"generic" AFSCs were actually orthopedic surgeons, 
anesthesiologists, operating room nurses, and other critical 
wartime specialties. 
 
DISCUSSION: Late identification of personnel skills resulted in moving some ARC members twice after activation. This 
caused personal frustration and wasted days of productivity. We could have returned to normal operations much more 
quickly had we known the true skills of the individuals we were calling up. 
 
ACTION RECOMMENDED: Unit manning documents available to the MAJCOMs need to reflected the individuals true 
skill. Primary, secondary, and tertiary AFSC fields could be established and utilized for this purpose. 
 
SUGGESTED OPR: HQ NGB, HQ AFRES, HQ USAF/SGHR
