would not be earlier than 10 Sep. When assignment selections are done manually,
assignment OPRs take into account how stabilized tour Date of Availability are computed
and make assignment selections accordingly. EXCEPTION: For officers, the joint duty
assignment Date of Availability is computed based on joint duty credit guidelines.
5.11.2.2. For assignment availability codes based on a quality control indicator (Table 2.1,
assignment availability codes 10 through 21, except 14) establish the Date of Availability
as the month following completion of the action. Example: an Airman receives an Article
15 on 22 June 2011 with a six month suspended reduction, or is placed on the control roster
22 June 2011 for a six month observation period. Although the actions expire 21 December
2011, the correct Date of Availability in each case is January 2012. This action ensures a
departure date (mo/yr) no earlier than the completion of disciplinary, rehabilitative, or
administrative action. As a rule, Airmen are matched to requirements and report no later
than dates (RNLTDs) are established so the departure date is not earlier than the first day
of the availability month and year. The MPF will reclama an assignment or request a
change of RNLTD for assignments not meeting this criteria. (T-2) EXCEPTION: A
reclama is not necessary to change the RNLTD nor is a waiver required when the Airman
desires to depart after the actual day punishment, or an observation period, etc., expires
and the commander concurs.
5.11.2.3. When multiple assignment availability codes apply to an Airman, the code with
the longest period of deferment is entered as the first assignment availability code, the
assignment availability code for the next longest deferment is second, and so forth.
5.11.2.4. The MPF is not authorized to update the following assignment availability codes
(these assignment availability codes are updated by the assignment OPR only): 36 (enlisted
only), 46, 48, 54 and 56.
5.11.2.5. The MPF may place Airmen in the following assignment availability codes when
they receive “by-name” deferment authority: 21 (for other reasons as shown in Table 2.1
and paragraph 5.20), 28, 30, 34, 39, 41, 51 (enlisted only), 52, 58, and 85. NOTE: MPF
may use the assignment action reason for an Airman’s PCS, assignment trailer remarks, or
other approval (such as a letter/memo, approved application, PCS orders, etc.) as authority
for deferment.
5.11.2.6. The MPF may place Airmen in the following assignment availability codes when
they receive “by-name” deferment authority, or when the MPF confirms the Airman is
authorized deferment as a result of being assigned to an organization, function, position,
etc., as shown in the Stabilized Tour Guide (see paragraph 5.11): 22, 36 (officers only),
42, 43, 44, 45, 47, 50, 51 (officers only), 55, 57 or 59. NOTE: MPF may use the
assignment action reason for an Airman’s PCS, assignment trailer remarks, or other
approval (such as a letter/memo, approved application, PCS orders, etc.) as authority for
deferment.
5.11.2.7. The MPF may place Airmen in the following assignment availability codes when
this instruction or some other instruction or directive requires or authorizes deferment: 02,
05, 08, 09, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25, 27, 29, 32, 38, 40, 52 (enlisted
only), 53, 65, 67, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, and 77. NOTE: MPF may use the assignment
action reason for an Airman’s PCS, assignment trailer remarks, or other approval (such as
a letter/memo, approved application, PCS orders, etc.) as authority for deferment.
