INDIVIDUAL MOBILIZATION AUGMENTATEE AUTHORIZATIONS
3-1. General information:
This chapter defines individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA)
authorizations and states the policy and procedur-es for -determining
-such authoriz.ations,. The effect of manpower authorizations on
..logistics, personnel, and fiscal planning dictates that these
authorizations receive complete and objective review at all
echelons. All'IMA authorizations will be reviewed annually as part
of the Wartime t .anpower Planning Exercise (MANREQ).
b. IMA authorizations are military manpower requirements
identified by individual skill on a selective basis to meet immediate
needs of contingency and wartime/emergency plans. IMAs are Selected
Reserve members of the Ready Reserve'of the United States Air Force
Reserve (USAFR) assigned to active Air Force units against valid
wartime requirements. The Air National Guard has no IMA
authorizations.
c. MAJCOMs and SOAs with IMA authorizations and limited training
capability may develop agreements with other MAJCOMs and SOAs in
order to effect mobilization readiness training.
3-2. Policies Governing IMA Authorizations:
a. Justify each IMA authorization solely on the basis of a
requirement to support war or contingency plans for which active
force resources are insufficient to meet immediate augmentation needs
(within 24 hours plus travel) (Exception: See para 3-5).

higher, except for those authorizations approved in support of joint
mobilizaticin augment tion documents (Part III of Joint -Manpower
.Pr_ograms)
g. Wor.kload requirements during the initial 30 days of any
contingency will be based on 309 man-hours per month. The -sustained
wartime work-month man-hour availability of 2,42 hours (outlined in
'Vol -III, Chapter 1) will be used with measured and projected wartime
work loads to compute wartime manpower requirements. Also, manpower
made available by the planned wartime reduction or elimination of
'peacetime-only work load will be reapplied to satisfy wartime
requirements before requesting IMA authorizations.
h. Air Force component commands in overseas theaters should
-state unified command OPLAN augmentation requirements in Time-Phased
Force and Deployment Lists (TPFDLs), using the Manpower Force
Packaging System (MANFOR). AFR 28-3 provides direction and guidance
for using MANFOR in the statement of required augmentation forces.
IMA authorizations for overseas commands are discouraged and. will be
validated only when the requirement is stated in approved'TPFDLs.
i. HQ USAF/MPM will allocate specfic grades by authorization to
the MAJCOMs and SOAs through the Manpower Allocation Report, RCS:
HAF-MPM(AR) 7112. Grade authorizations for IMA positions identified
in the Manpower Authorization Transaction Report, Part "A," RCS:

positions are forwarded to the Director of Manpower and Organization
(HQ tISAF/MPM) for inclusion in the appropriate Manpower Allocation
Report.
e. The Judge Advocate General, Surgeon General, and Chief of
Chaplains will develop their individual functional requirements. The
Director of Manpower and Organization (IIQ USAF/MPM) will validate,
these r.equiremetti and allocate them to T IQ ARPC. Each functional
manager will insure each wartime gaining MAJCOM and SOA knows the
specific number of IMA authorizations that will belong to them upon
mobilization. Each MAJCOM and SOA-must document these requirements
in their annual MANRFQ Exercise. '

3-3. Procedure For Determining IMA Authorizations:
a. Base IMA authorizations on the need for wartime augmentation
directly related to wartime/emergency xequirements and other wartime
'manpower tasking that requires an immediate response. _-Each..MAJCOM
and SOA. will dctY rr.ine total wartime manpower -r.equir-ements annually
according to the ;_'__iance for the Wartime Darzpower Planning Exercise
(MANREQ) issued by HC, USAF/:tAPM and for Support Force Sizing (FORSIZE)
issued by HQ USAF/XOX. Based on the guidance provided, MAJCOMs and'
SOAs will determine their capability to meet the established require-
ments using the resources of assigned active units and Reserve Force
units gained through mobilization. Any deficit between peacetime and
wartime-requirements will form the basis for substantiating an IMA
authorization request in the MANREQ Phase III Report.
b. Use the following procedures to determine the requirement for
an IMA authorization:
(1) Identify the specific wartime/emergency plan which states
.'he requirement for augmentation, and document the requirement and
factors bearing on the manpower determination procedure. (Exception:
see para 3-5)
?(2) Apply approved manpower standards and guides,to compute
total monthly manpower requirements by function, grade, and AFSC to
perform wartime missions identified in paragraph 3--3b(l). Use both
surge and sustained wartime man--hour availability in the computations.
Quantify the projected wartime work loads to be supported using the
most current wartime planning guidance.
(3) Subtract applicable active and Reserve Force unit

Approved For Release 2002/10/21: CIA-RDP86-01-129R000100040003-6
-authorizations from wartime requirements derived in 3-3b(2) to obtain
total unfilled requirements. `IMA authorizations may be developed
against this unfilled ..-requirement. if the requirement occurs..on M--Day
for a ''.full" or "tot-alt .mobilization and the -overall MAJCOM or SOA's
MANREQ Phase II report does not show untasked authorizations in the
requested skill.(AFSC). Requirements for general officers and
authorizations external to the Air Force are exceptions to this
procedure. They will.be determined by the responsible agency.
C. Identify individual wartime. skill shortages in, the MANREQ
(Phase II)` . Establish IMA authorizations when no other alternatives
have been found to satisfy immediate wartime manpower augmentation
requirements.
d. IMA authorizations found to bQ excess to immediate wartime
requirements will be deleted within 12 months or, when a position is
vacated, whichever occurs first. Validated requirements without IMAS
assigned will be filled from other sources upon mobilization (e.g.,
ti'ntasked active duty, IRR, Reserve or retired individuals).
e. Any change in an existing IMA authorization in organization,
grade, or AFSC constitutes a change of requirement. Therefore, the
existing authorization will be deleted and a request for a new IMA
authorization justified and requested through HQ USAF/MPMX as part of
the annual MANREQ Exercise (Phase III). Out-of-cycle changes will
not normally be made except in circumstances that would seriously
affect the prosecution of the war or national security.
f. Use the following justification format when submitting a new
IMA request:
(1) Identify specific organization to he augmented.

( 2~ppr~ dk I~ ~T28(9 /16721 t~GA F{3P8 -a'I~1v191 &O 00040003-6;
(3) Identify number, grade and AFSC of added positions.
(a) Number of current active-duty authorizations in
work center. (military and -civilian) by grade and -AlSC.
(b) 1y.:mber of current. MA authorizations in work center
by grade and AF'SC
(4) .'Identify an appropriate training and pay category and
program element code (PEC) for each added pc ition.
(5) Identify the specific wartime or emergency plan which
states the requirement for augmentation. Document the requirement
.and factors bearing on the-manpower determination procedure.
(a) Specify if the requirement is not stated in a
specific wartime or emergency plan but is required for national-
security per paragraph 3-5a and b.
(b) Develop work load data according to paragraphs
3-2g and 3-3b(2)(3).
(c) Explain why IMAs are considered the most mission--
effective resource to meet the requirement.
(d) Explain why the requirement is military essential.
(e) Justify why the position should not be reimbursable.
This applies only to requests originating in fed'er_al agencies outside
of the DOD unless the provision for such resources is a statutory
responsibility of DOD.
(6) Attach an AF Form 271 summarizing the current MAJCOM or
SOA IMA program plus new totals based on this request. An example is
in attachment Al 2.

Approved For Release 2002/10/21 : CIA-RDP86-011 iF 000100.040003-6~
a. Wartime -manpower augmentation requirements for agencies
external t6 the Air -Force, such as joint -or unified commands,
international organizations,, other 'DUD services and agencies,- and
other gover.nment.agencies, will be considered with all CONUS wartime
-augmentation requirements and processed in the same manner.. Both
.internal and external USAF augmentation requirements will be tasked
to..appropriate.commands. Commands tasked for support of external
augmentation requirements in joint augmentation documents (Part III
of Joint: Manpower Progr,Lms) will annually evaluate their ability to
support these requirements from allocated active,and Reserve Forces
unit resources not required for deployment, CONUS training, systems
development, or.logi_stic support for the national strategy. External
R
requirements that exceed tasked command's available resources may be
justification for the allocation of IMA authorizations under the
procedures in paragraphs 3--.3b and c.
b. MAJCOMs and SOAs will assist HQ USAF/MPM by providing
information related to validation of IMA requirements at commands and
agencies outside of the Air Force. -
3-5. Assistance in Support of National Security Requirements or
Administrative Management and Training of Reserve Members:
a. IMA authorizations may be justified on the Air Staff or in
organizations above wing level to support national security
requirements when a iIi tary --essent- ia:I wartime requirement cannot be
filled from act ive `o!ce resources.

"national security" includes those_requirement:s directly related to
*the war effort but not covered in any specific war. or contingency
plan. .An. example -would be Air Force augmentation of external DOD or.
federal agencies or CO:I US--sustaining requirements not -addressed in .an
OPLAN but vital to vi-a ---.fighting efforts.
c. IM.A authorizations maybe partially justified to -assist in
the administrative management and training of USAFR personnel
participating in the -11'4A program when it can be demonstrated that:
(1) the use of. Reservists is economical, and
(2) an IMA will exercise the leadership and supervisory
.skills normally required for a person in that position and associated
rank, and
(3) it would not degrade proficiency in their primary wartime
responsibilities.
d. Administrative management will not be the sole justification
for an IMA authorization, but may be an additional duty of senior IMA
positions that have a valid primary wartime tasking. Active-duty
personnel in MAJCOMs and SOAs retain prime responsibility for
operation and management of IMA programs.
3-6. Reporting Instructions:
'a. Instructions in chapter'7 of this regulation and AFM 26-749
will, be used for creating and maintaining comitiand manpower data
