validated in accordance with AR 570–4 and this regulation. APF personnel resources will be used to support MWR
programs as authorized in this regulation. Resulting requirements are approved per AR 570–4. In addition to the
specific authorizations in appendix D, APF personnel performing the following common support functions are
authorized:
(1) HQDA and IMCOM Region levels management functions. The following criteria must be met:
(a) A person will perform functions related to regulatory requirements and devote most of the duty day to
developing or implementing policy, monitoring compliance and providing oversight, conducting onsite inspections,
reviewing program performance, or providing direct administrative support to the aforementioned functions.
(b) Functions actually performed will match the job description and be included in the organization’s mission and
functions statement.
(c) The persons performing the functions will not directly operate a program that generates revenue (see para
12–2c(14)).
(2) Garrison-level command supervision. These are functions for general management and operation of more than
one MWR program, including:
(a) Directors, division chiefs, and their assistants.
(b) Comptrollers and FAOs.
(c) CAOs.
(d) Administrative support positions directly related to the above.
b. When both APF and NAF functions are performed by the same office, APF functions will qualify for APF
support.
c. For military personnel temporarily assigned or detailed to MWR programs, see appendix D and AR 570–4 and
AR 614–200.
d. Civilians will be used to staff MWR programs to the maximum practical extent consistent with SOFAs and
country-to-country agreements and treaties.
14–4. Requirements for nonappropriated positions
a. DA Form 5556 (Personnel Requirements Document) (PRD) documents NAF personnel requirements. The PRD,
functionally similar to the TDA, which documents APF personnel requirements, is used by management to control
authorization levels and for budgeting, developing 5-year plans, and pricing strategies. The CPAC–NAF uses DA Form
5556 as a basis for NAF staffing actions. A sample of a completed DA Form 5556 and instructions for using the form
are on the MWR Web site, www.armymwr.org, in the policy documents under Human Resources.
b. Each NAFI/entity employing NAF personnel will maintain a PRD. Upon annual approval, the Director, FMWR
will ensure that the MWR 5-year plan includes sufficient NAF resources and budgets to meet projected NAF personnel
expenses.
c. The PRD is based on validated positions. Additional considerations included in the preparation of the PRD
include—
(1) The PRD will indicate those positions that are authorized APF support (under the DOD MWR USA/UFM (paras
5–2 and 5–3)) whether or not APFs are available to reimburse the expenses of the employee occupying the position.
(2) Excess flexible personnel requirements are included on the PRD, because flexible employees only require
obligation of funds for hours actually worked. Excess regular requirements, however, are not included since they
require the obligation of funds, regardless of hours worked.
d. The completed PRD is submitted by each program manager to the servicing financial management office, which
will review the submission for accuracy and compare estimated costs with budget guidance. Upon completion of the
review, the PRD will be forwarded to the Director, FMWR for coordination and final action by the fund manager/entity
administrator. Upon approval by the fund manager/entity administrator, the PRD is submitted to the CPAC–NAF to
assign the paragraph and line numbers. The CPAC–NAF will return the PRD to the manager who will insert the name
of the incumbent on the PRD.
e. Policies and procedures for filling NAF positions are described in AR 215–3.
