RESERVE ASSIGNMENTS

Mission: Execute reserve assignments to equip commanders with Ready Airman

The Air Force Reserve is an integral part of our country's dominant presence in air, space and cyberspace, contributing daily to the Total Force mission and is actively involved in global operations.

DPAA is responsible for executing 9.3K annual assignment actions in support of 6.1K Active Guard Reserve (AGR) and 7.2K Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) personnel. They provide regulatory guidance to CCs/CFMs/FSSs/Dets for advertising vacancies and job placement.

The division is separated into two branches; the Reserve Assignments Branch (DPAAA) and AGR Assignments Management Branch (DPAAG).
