Welcome to Assignment Year 2023 (AY23). This message describes the AY23 timeline and presents informational resources available to all Reserve Component Managers (RCMs). While the information provided in this message will be of particular interest to RCMs anticipating reassignment in AY23, it also includes important information to commands and supervisors. Communication will continue to be a key factor in the overall success of the Assignment Year, and PSC-RPM is excited to continue serving our RCM Corps this year. 2. A complete listing of all boards and panels, including eligibility criteria, can be found in Refs A and B. PSC utilizes Ref C for assignment tour length. In select cases, officer tour lengths may be extended or reduced based on Service need. All requests to short-tour or extend must include a Command endorsement with backfill requirements. 3. The AY23 timetable is as follows: A. Now thru 15 Aug 2022: RPM Assignment Officers (AOs) are available for RCM career counseling and e-resume guidance. Please review Ref D prior to career counseling. B. 10 Jun: Draft AY23 RCM shopping list published on PSC-RPM Portal Page for command concerns validation. Provided in a spreadsheet format, the AY23 shopping list will allow units and/or directorates to view all RCM-coded positions and email command concerns for any RCM position. Tour lengths are also included for each position. RPM will release specific instructions for command concern email submission and validation via ALCGRSV. C. 08 Jul: Deadline for commands to validate AY23 shopping list and submit command concerns. D. 01 Aug: AY23 RCM shopping list released via ALCGRSV E. 01 Sep: E-resume submission deadline for all RCMs. F. 01 Nov: Requested submission deadline to PSC-OPM-1 for any RCMs asking to voluntarily separate in AY23. Members should communicate any off-season retirement plans with their AOs to ensure that PSC-RPM can identify a suitable backfill. G. 06-09 Dec: O6 Assignment Panel. H. 24-26 Jan: O5 Assignment Panel. I. 01 Apr: All O4 and below assignments completed. 4. Meeting the E-resume submission deadline will ensure that all RCMs are afforded full competition to all positions applied for, including both in and out of RCM program opportunities. 5. Special considerations for RCM Captains and RCM Commanders in zone for selection to Captain in PY23: A. Due to the dynamic nature of O6 assignments, RCM Captains and RCM Commanders in zone for promotion should ensure updated biographies are provided to the O6 RCM AO. Email bios directly to Mr. Jody Nunnery at Jody.M.Nunnery@uscg.mil. Because bios need to be in standard format for the O6 ADPL Assignment Panel managed by PSC-OPM, O6 RCMs should utilize the template found in Ref E. B. RCM Commanders in zone for selection to Captain in PY23, even if not tour complete in AY23, should submit an E-resume with Captain positions by the 01 Sep submission deadline. 6. Career Counseling: RPM AOs will conduct career counseling for all RCM officers who are tour complete or anticipate transferring in AY23. Career counseling for all officers who are not tour complete or do not anticipate transferring in AY23 may be scheduled as time permits or in the off-season. PSC-RPM will incorporate guidance with sub-specialty breakdown from CG-R found in Ref D into their career counseling. 7. Assignment points of contact: A.
