Individual Manpower Augmentation (IMA)
Director Of Personnel Planning (Mr Harry E. Fitzwater)
1. Individual Manpower Augmentation (IMA) authorizations are
military manpower authorizations to provide individual skills on
a selected basis to meet requirements of contingency and
wartime/emergency plans. All IMA authorizations are reviewed
annually in conjunction with the Wartime Planning Exercise.
2. Documenting the use of IMA authorizatons is an important part
of the Wartime Planning Exercise. Undocumented IMA
authorizations are removed from Manpower Authorizations Files.
3. Attachment one is a copy of the letter sent to the Air Staff
asking submission of justification for their IMA authorizations
for the CY 79 exercise. The same instructions apply for the
CY 80 exercise.
4. We are certain your activity would want an opportunity to
participate since no justification exists for the 176 IMA
authorizations associated with your activity. Attachment two is
a copy of the Unit Manpower Document listing your IMAs.
5. We will appreciate your assistance in documenting the use of
IMA authorizations you may wish to be continued for FY 81.
Members of my staff are available if further information is
desired.
