TOPIC AREA: RECALL PROCEDURES
 
SUBMITTED BY: HQ AFRES/SGXO 
 
ISSUE: Recall of personnel from a single unit in a piecemeal 
fashion is difficult to manage. 
 
OBSERVATION: Most aeromedical evacuation personnel were recalled by UTC even though most of 
the unit was eventually recalled. 
 
DISCUSSION: Personnel were recalled by UTC making it difficult to plan recall and 
transportation activities. It was common to recall three to four UTCs during a single week. 
This made it extremely difficult on the limited staff to work continuously on recall, 
processing, and transportation requirements of the different UTCs. From a management 
standpoint, it would have been much simpler to have recalled the entire unit at one time. 
 
IMPACT: This would; 1. Increase the cost (in dollars) of mobilization by bringing people onto 
active duty before they are actually needed. 2. This would consolidate many unit level 
administrative and management activities. 
 
RECOMMENDATION: Plans should be prepared to attempt to recall all personnel at one time, 
preferably by unit, if possible. All required UTCs should be drawn from one unit until they 
are exhausted. Only then should a second unit be tasked for that UTC.
