62 Stabilization and Reconstruction Staffing: Developing U.S. Civilian Personnelformal function carried out by the lead U.S. agency for SSTR operations—S/CRS—andthose agencies that support it. It articulates anticipateddemand and ought to represent a core set of skills and expandablenumbers of billets that are dependent on the situation. In it, therewould be two designated types of billets:••permanent positions authorized to be filledpermanent positions that are not authorized to be filled unlessneeded for a specific operation.An analysis of a proposed JMD, or the collected set of JMDs forall planned operations, should determine which billets fall into whichcategories. In addition, planners should expect that there will be a thirdtype of position that they will have to deal with—• unanticipated positions (i.e., those not on the books of any departmentor agency) created as part of an effort to expand capabilities.These could be either additional positions of known type (i.e.,with existing position descriptions) or requirements for peoplewith unanticipated skills that create demand for new kinds ofpositions. These would most likely be for a looming or existingoperation.These billets are depicted in Figure 4.2, which shows the permanentpositions with authority to be filled (Billets 1, 2, and 3) as being filledby civil servants from departments or agencies of the U.S. government.Some of these personnel might be permanently assigned to the designatedbillets—for example, Department of State personnel assignedto S/CRS. Others could be personnel in agencies designated to fill aparticular billet—for example, members of the response or technicalcorps—who know that they will deploy on an operation, if needed.Recall that the current S/CRS proposed structure is not sufficientfor operational needs beyond small, multinational efforts, and so structuresand arrangements may be needed. We will assume that the personnelfilling these billets make up the professional cadre of the other
