In accordance with ref (A), Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS) is defined as full-time duty of a temporary nature under 10 USC 12301(d) for purposes other than training. Long-term ADOS is defined as any period of ADOS that exceeds 180 consecutive days in duration. Short-term ADOS is defined as any period of ADOS that is 180 consecutive days or less in duration. Ref (A) defines the purpose of ADOS as providing the necessary skilled manpower to temporarily support existing or emerging requirements of the Coast Guard Active Component (AC). 3. For internal control purposes, a ceiling is maintained on long-term ADOS-AC to manage the funding and full-time equivalent (FTE) associated with reserve personnel voluntarily recalled. One FTE is equivalent to one reservist on active duty for one year. In FY13, the total ceiling for long-term ADOS-AC will be capped at 50 FTE. Sponsoring units are required to reimburse the HQ centrally managed account for the associated salary and benefits for each reservist in accordance with paragraph 9 below. Additionally, travel and PCS entitlements associated with the ADOS-AC period are the responsibility of the sponsoring unit. 4. Exemptions: The following types of ADOS-AC are exempt from the FY13 ceiling and allocations described in this message. A. Short-term ADOS-AC: Short-term orders shall not exceed 180 days total whether as a single set of orders or consecutive sets of orders.
