The document outlines changes to the Overseas Contingency Operation Support Assignment (OSA) program that aim to preserve desirable elements and mitigate unintended consequences of the Global Sailor program. Key changes include enlisted sailors selecting OSA interest 2-3 months before detailing to be sourced in real-time by OSA detailers, eliminating PCS orders for OSA with sailors administratively attached to their parent command, and providing post-OSA choice of coast detailing while exempting sailors from involuntary assignment for 3 years. The changes reduce administrative burdens, increase flexibility, and provide stronger family and command support for sailors participating in OSA.

OSA brief
- 1. USFF N1/NPC Overseas Contingency Operation Support Assignment (OSA)
Editor's Notes
- Subject: CNP OSA TALKING POINTS 1. Executive Issue : Implementation of the OSA (Overseas Contingency Operations Support Assignments) initiative to replace the Enlisted GSA process. 2. Background : The Enlisted OSA initiative has two objectives. Preserve the desirable elements of GSA . Mitigate / eliminate the adverse unintended consequences of GSA . 3. Discussion : We have chopped the OSA brief and accompanying documents; highlights of the changes to the current GSA process are: Via the CMS/ID Preference tab, Sailors will select an interest for an OSA assignment prior to entering their order negotiation window, 9 months prior to PRD. (Optimally, interest will be noted 12-10 months prior to PRD.) A dedicated team of OSA detailers in PERS-4013 will evaluate prospective applicants and tailor the billets offered to those individuals, enabling a better fit for mission and Sailor. Eliminate PCS costs associated with Enlisted OCO assignments. Greater command support for Sailor and Family ( Current Command CIAC will be the POC for all issues. Sailor’s family will keep current support network). Member will return to current command for 60 days post-OSA assignment for a better post-mission stand down and re-integration period Member will return to a familiar setting and peers/friends/family. Eliminates entitlement and compensation inequity of GSA and IA orders. Over time, this will greatly reduce ECRC’s responsibility for tracking and “On Hold” population support. (Officers will continue to utilize the GSA process). A single set of orders and procedures for all enlisted IA members will reduce complexity. (Regional BSOs will take all assignment control of the members once they are entered into the IA Portal by the OSA detailers.) PERS-40 will take action to “cloak” the assigned member once screened for the mission, so that a requisition will be generated for a relief and the IA Sailor will not count towards command Fit. Recommendations : Recommend approval of the OSA initiative for enlisted personnel.
