Section III
Emergency—Essential, Key, and Cadre Positions and Employees
1-10. Emergency—Essential positions categories
Civilian employees will continue to support the Army's military mission in all crisis situations. Emergency—Essential civilian positions must be limited to those positions specifically required to ensure the success of combat operations or the availability of combat—essential systems.
a.
Pre—identified positions. Employees assigned to pre—identified positions must sign a DD Form 2365 (DOD Civilian Employees Overseas Emergency—Essential Position Agreement) as a condition of employment. The agreement specifies that the employee must continue to perform the duties and requirements of the E—E position in the event of crisis situation or wartime. For an E—E employee who occupies an overseas E—E position, this agreement takes precedence over any existing transportation agreement. If a person with military recall status, that is, Ready Reserve, Standby Reserve, or other military recall status is selected for an E—E position, his or her nonavailability for military mobilization will be reported promptly to the appropriate military personnel center so that he or she may be removed from military recall status. Any employee selected for an E—E position who cannot be exempted from recall to active duty will not be appointed to an E—E position.

b.
Positions not pre—identified. Because of unforeseen circumstances, it may become necessary to identify positions as E—E that have not previously been so identified. These positions may be located overseas or may be positions in the United States from which an employee would be sent to the location of the military contingency or other crisis

overseas.
(1)
Employees in positions located overseas that are identified as E—E after the outbreak of a military crisis will be asked to execute an E—E agreement. If the employee declines, the employee will continue to perform the functions of the position if no other qualified employee or military member is reasonably available. The employee will be entitled to the benefits and protections of an E—E employee, but will be reassigned out of the position and assigned to a non—E—E position as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

(2)
An employee in the United States who occupies a position that is identified as E—E after a crisis develops or contingency mission begins, will be asked to execute a DD Form 2365 and participate in contingency operations during the crisis. If the incumbent declines to sign the agreement or perform in the newly designated E—E position, the employing activity will seek another employee to volunteer to fill the position. If a volunteer is available, the incumbent will be detailed or transferred to a non—E—E position, if one is available, at the same grade for which he orshe is qualified. If a volunteer is not found, and the incumbent declines to sign the agreement but possesses the skills and expertise, which in management's view renders it necessary that he or she perform in the E—E position without an E—E agreement, the employee may be involuntarily assigned the E—E duties at the location where needed, and directed to perform the duties at that location on a temporary basis.

1-11. Key positions and employees
Some DA civilians occupy positions that cannot be vacated during national emergency or mobilization without seriously impairing the capability of their organization. To ensure continuity in mission, commanders may designate these positions as key. Civilians in key positions must be exempted from recall to active duty because of Reserve or retired military obligation.

1-12. Cadre positions and employees
Cadre positions form the core of emergency or expanded functions at an existing installation or an installation to be activated upon mobilization. Department of the Army civilians designated to fill cadre positions upon mobilization are cadre employees. Any employee selected for a cadre position who cannot be exempted from recall to active duty will not be appointed to a cadre position.

1-13. Alternate positions and employees
Alternate employees, as defined in DODD 1404.10, are DA civilians who agree to perform the duties of an E—E civilian position in the absence of an E—E employee during a crisis situation. Alternate employees must meet the samecriteria required of E—E employees.

(3)
E—E and alternate employees will be encouraged, but not required, to participate in physical fitness and conditioning activities in accordance with AR 600-63.

d. Overseas replacement.
(1)
Replacement of E—E employees will be at the discretion of the combatant commander. Emergency—Essential employees will be released from their agreement and permitted to leave the crisis area after the initial evacuation of noncombatants only when appropriate management authority determines that they are no longer required or able to perform their assigned duties. In making that determination, the appropriate authority will take into consideration any rotation policy and procedures established for military members during the contingency.

(2)
All CONUS—based DA civilians (E—E, volunteers, and replacements) will process through a designated CRC prior to deployment.

(3)
During periods of mobilization, to include a Presidential Reserve Call—up, the commander, USA HRC is authorized (when delegated the authority by DCS, G-3) to task across MACOMs to fill required E—E positions.

(b)
Combatant commanders may approve, under certain conditions, issuance of a personal military weapon for selfdefense to DA civilians. Prior to issuing a personal military weapon for selfdefense to civilians, they must receive weapons familiarization training in the proper use and safe handling of firearms. Acceptance of a personal military weapon for selfdefense is voluntary. Civilians may not be assigned to guard duty or perimeter defense or to engage in offensive combat operations. Only Government—issued weapons or ammunitions may be authorized.
