61% of FA30 positions are in the Operating Force.That being said, BCTs, Division HQs and Corps HQs are the frequent deployers.Currently the FA30 Branch works diligently to ensure the deploying units are filled as specified by HQDA manning guidance.We are still a growing Functional Area. Over the last 12 months, we had a 5% growth in the FA30 Population.Although our personnel inventory is above 100%, just under 30% (29% to be exact) of the total FA30 population is not currently serving in valid FA30 billets.The number of FA30 Authorizations filled is affected by the time it takes to move newly assessed officers from basic branch assignment to FA 30 positions (including 4 month FA 30 Qualification Course)
Although one of the smallest across the Army in overall population, FA 30 is strong as a functional area. The number of FA30 Authorizations filled is affected by the time it takes to move newly assessed officers from basic branch assignment to FA 30 positions (including 4 month FA 30 Qualification Course)
Here are the POCs for additional information.MAJ Yandura is currently the IPO Personnel Chief;Contact her if you have any questions.As soon as you become an FA30, contact LTC Motley for career advice and start working on your FA30QC date and 1st assignment.You can go to IPO homepage and FA30 HRC website to keep updated on the latest information
