This instruction applies to OJAG and NLSC commands. If any procedures outlined conflict with local bargaining unit agreements for bargaining unit positions, the negotiated agreement will take precedence.

Purpose. To establish policies and procedures for the Position Management Board (PMB) for the office of the Judge Advocate General (OJAG) and the Naval Legal Service Command (NLSC) in accordance with references (a) through (c). The PMB will assist the Judge Advocate General (JAG) and Commander, Naval Legal Service Command (CNLSC) in ensuring each organizational unit within the command is structured for optimal use of government and OJAG/NLSC resources. The PMB will review prospective changes to civilian billets (encumbered or vacant) that would result in a new series classification, grade, major duties, and/or duty station. The PMB will approve any changes to the current organizational structure while ensuring all staffing changes are mission essential and comply with the priorities of the command. The PMB decisions will consider the potential impacts associated with workforce reductions, reorganizations, hiring constraints, personnel changes, workload fluctuations, accretion of duties promoting efficient production, effective position management and classification programs.
