COMDTINST 12910.1A
transferred to the Standby or Retired Reserve, discharged or retained in the Ready Reserve, and
will notify G-WPC of its decision. As members of the Standby Reserve, individuals may not be
paid for their voluntary participation in weekend drills or annual training periods. They can,
however, earn reserve retirement credit for participation in such training activities.
b. Notify Military Reserve Center When Key Position is Occupied by a Member of the Standby
Reserve or Retired Military. When members of the Standby Reserve and certain retired military
members are designated key employees, a reserve notification letter (enclosure (3)) should be
submitted to the appropriate military reserve personnel center (enclosure (2)). Such individuals,
when identified as key employees, will not ordinarily be issued a military mobilization
assignment, thus precluding the possibility of being called to active military service during a
national emergency.
c. Removal from Key Position. Normally, upon notification, military reserve personnel centers
will remove key employees from their military mobilization obligation. However, there may be
instances when the key employee is retained in a mobilization obligation status. When this
occurs, the official designated in paragraph 7(3) b, who made the final determination must again
review the position, and make a new determination of the essentiality of its designation as a "key
position." With respect to positions occupied by Coast Guard reservists, Coast Guard Personnel
Command (CGPC-rpm) will have authority for making a final determination regarding retention
of Coast Guard reservists in key positions. With respect to positions occupied by reservists from
other military services, however, if the review confirms that the position should be designated as
key, G-WPC will forward to the applicable military reserve personnel center, the justification for
removing the employee from the military mobilization obligation. In the event the military
reserve personnel center still determines that the key employee will be retained in the Ready
Reserve, Commandant (G-CCS) will decide whether to further appeal the decision to the Deputy
Secretary of Defense. In accordance with reference (c), the Deputy Secretary of Defense has the
authority to adjudicate, before mobilization, conflicts between the mobilization needs of the
civilian and military sectors that the reserve screening process has identified but has not
resolved. In the event Commandant (G-CCS) decides not to appeal the decision, or if the Deputy
Secretary confirms the decision of the responsible military reserve personnel center, G-WPC, in
consultation with the cognizant Command, will take action to remove the employee from the key
position.
10. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. G-WPC will complete an annual Federal Employment Screening
Questionnaire for submission to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs in
accordance with reference (d).
11. RESPONSIBILITIES.
a. Commandant (G-WPC) is responsible for:
(1) Developing and implementing policy on the screening of civilian employees.
(2) Submitting screening reports to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs.
(3) Conducting surveys annually to identify Ready Reservists who occupy key positions.
