1. This message further explains policy announced in REF A for
transition to Permanent Change of Station (PCS) entitlements for
reservists on long-term voluntary Active Duty Operational Support
(ADOS) in support of contingency operations.  This message does not
apply to reservists involuntarily activated under any other statutory
authority (i.e., 10 U.S.C. 12302, 14 U.S.C. 712), or reservists who
perform active duty in the same location for less than 180 days.
2. To continue good stewardship of financial resources and support
family cohesion as much as possible, the Coast Guard will continue to
emphasize and reinforce expeditious transition to PCS entitlements
for all reservists on long-term ADOS who remain in the same duty
location for greater than 180 days.
3. In addition to the guidance published in REF A, the following
rules apply:
    A. Effective 1 October 2013, all new orders issued to reservists
for any type of long-term ADOS performing duty in the same location
for more than 180 days shall be PCS orders with full PCS
entitlements.
    B. Effective immediately:
       (1) All reservists currently on any type of long-term ADOS
performing duty in the same location for more than 180 days may be
issued PCS orders with full PCS entitlements in accordance with REFs
B and C.
       (2) Reservists transitioning from involuntary active duty to
any type of long-term ADOS, with the expectation to perform duty in
the same location for more than 180 days continuing into FY14 and
there are less than 180 days remaining in FY13, shall be issued PCS
orders with full PCS entitlements.
       (3) Reservists volunteering for long-term contingency ADOS,
with the expectation to perform duty in the same location for more
than 180 days continuing into FY14 and there are more than 180 days
remaining in FY13, may be issued PCS orders with full PCS
entitlements or TDY orders with flat-rate contingency per diem
through 30 September 2013.
    C. Changes regarding how long-term contingency ADOS orders are
categorized (TDY or PCS) will be incorporated into the next changes
to REFs C and D.
