Chapter 10
PRIORITY PLACEMENT AND REDUCTION IN FORCE
10.1. Priority Placement of Overgrade Airmen. The Priority Placement Program (PPP) is
designed for the management of overgrade AGR Airmen. Reductions in Force (RIF) actions
take precedence over the PPP. Because of unique mission requirements and unit force
management plans, each HRO must develop written PPP procedures that incorporate the
following:
10.1.1. Ensure that the fewest number of personnel are administratively reduced in grade or
released from AGR status.
10.1.2. Ensure that AGR personnel in an overgrade status and military technicians in a
retained grade status will be given simultaneous PPP consideration. Neither category has
priority over the other.
10.1.3. Placement must be based on the least amount of impact to the individual and the
mission.
10.2. Implementation of PPP. 10.2.1 AGR personnel who become overgrade to their UMD
assignment will be entered into the PPP as described below.
10.2.1.1. Airmen will be entered in the PPP on the same date as the action that causes
them to become overgrade for a maximum of 24 months or until the situation is resolved,
whichever comes first. For overgrade situations that exceed 24 months, the Airman must
be separated, retired, or demoted. Demotions apply to enlisted Airmen only.
10.2.1.2. The HRO will notify an Airman in writing (with an information copy to the
FSS) that the AGR Airman has been placed in the PPP. In addition, Airman will be
notified 90 days prior to the expiration of the PPP by the HRO.
10.2.2. An Airman in the PPP will be offered, in writing, the first available UMD full-time
AGR position within the State for which the Airman is fully qualified for assignment as
outlined in Chapter 6.
10.2.2.1. The written offer will identify the position, unit of assignment and unit
location.
10.2.2.2. The position offered should be in a unit within normal commuting distance of
the Airman's residence. This does not preclude entitlement to PCS, if reassigned to
another installation.
10.2.3. Overgrade AGR Airmen must accept or decline a position offered under the PPP
within 10 workdays of the date of receipt of the written offer. If the Airman accepts the
position, the HRO will direct the FSS to reassign the Airman within 30 days of acceptance of
the position.
10.2.4. An overgrade enlisted AGR Airman who declines a position offered under the PPP
must be reduced in grade to the maximum grade of the UMD position not later than 30
workdays after the declination IAW ANGI 36-2503, Administrative Demotion of Airmen.
Officers will be separated from AGR status. However, if the officer is within the sanctuary
