Updates --
CRSA for Katrina and ISOHAR Award for New Isolated/Hardship Duty
Sites
|
|
| Crisis Response Service Award
|
|
|
The CRSA (Crisis Response Service Award) that was
authorized for officers in January 2006 for deployment in response to
Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma should be listed on the Promotion
Information Reports (PIRs) under ‘Uniformed Service Decorations and
Awards.’ However, the hard copy documentation has not yet been placed in
the officer's electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) by the Office of
Commissioned Corps Operations
(OCCO).
|
|
| OCCO has been working with information
technology personnel to develop an automated method for scanning and indexing
this award documentation (and future similar, large-scale awards) into the
eOPF. OCCO hopes to have the documentation placed in the eOPFs by the end of
November 2006.

|
| Award for New ISOHAR Duty Sites
|
|
| On 12 September 2006, the Assistant
Secretary for Health signed Personnel Policy Memorandum (PPM) 06-006, “Service
Awards – Isolated/Hardship Sites,” which updated the list of ISOHAR
(Isolated/Hardship) duty sites that qualify for the ISHOAR Service Award. PPM
06-006 is posted on the Commissioned Corps Management Information System Web
site at http://dcp.psc.gov/eCCIS/documents/PPM06_006.pdf.
|
|
| OCCO is currently determining which
officers are eligible to receive an ISOHAR Service Award based on assignment to
the designated duty sites listed in the PPM, with an effective date listed by
duty assignment or later, and who meet the eligibility requirement listed in
Commissioned Corps Instruction (CCI) 511.01 of the Commissioned Corps Issuance
System (Subsection E.3.e. of CC27.1.1, “Commissioned Officer’s Awards Program”)
which can be found at http://dcp.psc.gov/eCCIS/documents/CCPM27_1_1.pdf.
|
|
| Once officers are identified and
administrative checks are completed (for valid license, satisfactory
Commissioned Officers’ Effectiveness Reports, and no adverse actions), OCCO
will process the ISOHAR Service Awards, submit the documentation to the
officers’ eOPFs, and add the listing to the ‘Uniformed Service Decorations and
Awards’ section of the officers’ PIRs. OCCO hopes to have the documentation
placed in the eOPFs and on the PIRs by the end of January 2007.
