Support Assignments Gives Sailors More Options

Week of November 19, 2007

More predictability for Sailors is the goal as the Navy transitions from individual augmentee (IA) assignments to Global war on terrorism Support Assignments (GSA). The GSA detailing process allows Sailors to negotiate for an IA when it fits their needs. The plan allows Sailors to negotiate eight-month or 14-month Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders to an Expeditionary Combat Readiness Center (ECRC) for an assignment in theater in support of GWOT. Approximately 1,500 enlisted GSA billets are currently available on Career Management System-Interactive Detailing, the program enlisted Sailors use to apply for orders. Billets are listed under the category code 90GS. Officers can contact their detailer directly for information on GSA billets.
