Purpose

This instruction provides guidance for assigning individual augmentation (IA), to meet the combatant commanders' (CC) and other government agencies temporary duty requirements supporting the President of the United States or the Secretary of Defense directed or approved operations. It defines a process and is intended for use in conjunction with the doctrinal guidance found in Joint Publications 0-2, 1-02, 1-0, 3-0, and 5-0 (references b-f). The goals of this process are to:

Ensure IA positions are consistent with strategic policy. Prioritize IA positions to support the strategic policies.

Provide the best-qualified, available Service member or Department of Defense civilian to the supported CC in a timely manner.

Ensure the accountability of individuals filling IA positions.

These operations may require IA positions to support permanent organizations, temporary organizations, and United Nations (UN) or multinational (MN) mission requirements. To accomplish these goals, the supported CCs must anticipate potential IA positions and provide a validated Joint Manning Document (JMD) in a timely fashion to the CC Service component and the Joint Staff (JS) for review and tasking. The positions must be sourced promptly to ensure personnel arrive at their temporary duty location on time, as requested by the supported CC. Staffing delays or Service unique procedures must not keep a supported CC's operational positions from being filled.

Applicability.

CJCSI 1301.01C applies to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Services, combatant commands, combatant command joint activities, and DOD agencies.
