As Public Health Service Officers and America’s Health Responders, we stand ready to preserve public health and national security during national or global health emergencies. Our mission is to be out the door as soon as requested, as this is an “all hands on deck” situation. All Corps officers were placed on involuntary deploy or "alert" status effective Wednesday, March 25, 2020, irrespective of the 'on-call month' status. Under Commissioned Corps Directive 121.02, "Deployment and Readiness," as directed by Assistant Secretary for Health, Commissioned Corps Headquarters will deploy Commissioned Corps officers assigned to HHS OpDivs/StaffDivs, either voluntarily or involuntarily and without supervisory approval, who are not considered mission critical, for deployments, under the current National Emergency. Mission critical requests sent to CCHQ are not final until the request is approved by the CCHQ Director as per the POM 821.76 ”Deployment Procedures”. An officer with a non-HHS organization may be deployed in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement/Understanding between the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the non-HHS organization.

Promotion Information
Curriculum Vitae (CV)
The Curriculum Vitae (CV) is the best place to present a concise picture of your entire career and to convey information not reflected on the Promotion Information Report (PIR). It is very important that a current CV is in your Official Personnel Folder (eOPF). An absent, outdated, or improperly formatted CV will make you less competitive for promotion.
When uploading your CV, please note that only the most recently submitted CV document is retained in the eOPF. The CV coversheet should be uploaded with your CV.
In collaboration with our Chief Professional Officers, CCHQ has created a standardized CV format for use by all 11 categories. As of Promotion Year (PY) 2023, all officers shall use the one standardized CV format.
The new CV format will assist board members in quickly locating information to score specific precepts. You may access the new Cover Page Guidance Document, the Promotion CV format instructions and the new Continuing Education Summary Sheet by clicking on the links below.

- Promotion CV Format Instructions
- Continuing Education Summary Sheet
- Promotion Curriculum Vitae Template
Your CV will not be available to the Promotion Boards unless it is uploaded through eDOC-U no later than the deadline listed on the Promotion checklist.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you submit documentation of claims made on your CV to your eOPF. For example:
- Interim transcripts, if working on an advanced degree, or final transcripts if you have completed an additional degree beyond your qualifying degree. For instructions for submitting transcripts, refer to the eOPF FAQs, Continuing Education section
- Certificates or letters or appreciation for PAC, Work Group, or community activities
CCHQ will NOT accept photographs, publication reprints, and program agendas for inclusion in the eOPF; this information is most effectively documented in writing through the CV.
