AFPAM10-243 covers augmentation requirements, UTC personnel, DAF civilians, ARC and contractor personnel, and federal civilian employee participation. It provides recommended processes for identifying, training, tracking, assigning, and replacing augmentees, while stating that program use is optional and its contents are recommendations only.
Augmentation requirements are used primarily to support temporary, short-term workload surges during wartime, contingency, natural disaster, and exercise situations. (paragraph 3)
Sustained use of augmentees should not be used to offset normal manpower shortfalls. (paragraph 3)
Members assigned to a Unit Type Code (UTC), primaries and alternates, generally should not be assigned augmentation duties until all other eligible resources are exhausted. (paragraph 5)
Types of augmentation performed by members assigned to a UTC should not require extensive or recurring training and should be for short-term usage. (paragraph 5)
Trained augmentees should remain in the program for a minimum of one year after having been trained in their augmentation duties. (paragraph 5)
