In the event of a crisis situation, the incumbent may be required to deploy via temporary reassignment or be required to stay in place to support contingency operations. The incumbent may be required to take part in readiness exercises. This position cannot be vacated during a national emergency or mobilization without seriously impairing the capability of the organization to function effectively; therefore, the position requires the incumbent to be screened from military recall. Military Reservists selected for an EC position must arrange for removal from the reserve component prior to appointment to an EC position. This requirement must be met prior to placement in an EC position. Positions identified as EE are subject to deployment to combat support situations. Deployment will be via Temporary Duty (TDY) orders. Deployment may entitle the employee to additional monetary compensation dependent upon the deployment location. Additional allocations are based on the Department of State's determination of a combat zone. The incumbent is subject to repeated deployments. Duration of deployment generally does not exceed six months with a possible dwell time of 12-18 months. The incumbent may be required to deploy as soon as 90 days from their return. The incumbent must sign the Statement of Understanding and Agreement for Expeditionary Civilian (EC) positions indicating at all times to meet and maintain readiness requirements and be fully equipped, trained and qualified to deploy. When not in a deployment status the work performed at your home station is to compliment the operations at the DLA Disposition Services location.
