Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The objectives of the Officer Personnel Management System
					 (OPMS) are as follows:
a. To properly
				  develop officers in the appropriate numbers and with the appropriate skills to
				  fully satisfy WVARNG requirements, taking maximum advantage of the inherent
				  abilities, aptitudes, and interests of the individual officer.
b. To properly assign officers according to
				  the needs of the WVARNG and according to the individual's competence and
				  desires.
c. To improve the
				  motivation and professional satisfaction of the individual officer and the
				  officer corps of the West Virginia Army National Guard as a whole.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Certain existing factors have dictated the requirement for
					 the establishment of OPMS in the West Virginia Army National Guard, as well as
					 for the USAR and active forces. These factors include:
a. Changing technology results in changing
				  skill requirements in the entire ARNG force structure, with resulting changes
				  in the number, type, and education of officers required to satisfy
				  needs.
b. The increasing complexity
				  of Army jobs, and the greater length of time required to master the knowledge
				  associated with such jobs, has required greater specialization in order to
				  develop competence.
c. Changing
				  attitudes toward job satisfaction, leadership, and discipline are examples of
				  social changes that are reflected in the values of junior officers.
d. Changes in officer strength due to
				  frequent reorganizations in the WVARNG has a significant impact on officer
				  specialization and training needs. The improved management of officer
				  specialization and assignments will result in more orderly and timely recovery
				  from imposed troop level requirements.
e. Discontinuance of use of the term MOS to
				  identify one of the classification elements for commissioned
				  officers.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a. The Adjutant
				  General: The Adjutant General of West Virginia is responsible for the overall
				  direction and effectiveness of classification, operations, preparation,
				  maintenance, and disposition of qualification records for all officers of the
				  West Virginia Army National Guard. Additionally, he is responsible for:
(1) Establishment and direct supervision of
				  the State Officer Career Manager position within the State of West
				  Virginia.
(2) Development of
				  policies affecting all aspects of the individual officer's career.
(3) Development and implementation of
				  appropriate promotion and retention policies in accordance with existing
				  regulations.
(4) Development and
				  implementation of appropriate policies concerning appointment, assignment,
				  transfer, and separation of WVARNG officers in accordance with pertinent

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a. Recognizing the
				  constraints of geography and types of organizations in the West Virginia Army
				  National Guard, OPMS will be adopted to the maximum extent possible.
b. The resultant change in the Officer
				  Specialty Classification System as cited in Section VIII, to Chapter 1, to AR
				  611-101, represents the procedures for identification of all Army National
				  Guard Officer positions, with some specified exceptions.
West Virginia Code of State Rules › Agency 141 - Adjutant General › Title 141 - LEGISLATIVE RULE ADJUTANT GENERAL › Series 141-31 - Introduction To Officer Personnel Management System (OPMS) › Chapter 2 - OBJECTIVES OF OFFICER PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM › Section 141-31-2-2 - EXPANDED USE OF ADDITIONAL SKILL IDENTIFIERS (EASI)

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Project EASI identifies a comprehensive effort to clearly
					 define officer skill requirements. Specialty Skill Identifiers (SSI's) will
					 replace Military Occupational Specialties (MOS). The converted Specialty Skill
					 Identifer (SSI), first two digits, is now being positioned under the Additional
					 Skill Identifier/ Language Identification Code (ASI/LIC) heading on either
					 VTAADS consolidated change documents or on Modification Tables of Organization
					 and Equipment (MTOE).
West Virginia Code of State Rules › Agency 141 - Adjutant General › Title 141 - LEGISLATIVE RULE ADJUTANT GENERAL › Series 141-31 - Introduction To Officer Personnel Management System (OPMS) › Chapter 2 - OBJECTIVES OF OFFICER PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM › Section 141-31-2-3 - REVISION OF THE MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY SYSTEM (ROMOSS)

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
ROMOSS is a logical and rational system for the
					 identification of skills required of and possessed by all commissioned officers
					 in the Army National Guard, as well as the active army and the USAR. There are
					 several basic differences between ROMOSS and the current commissioned officer
					 military occupational specialty (MOS) classification system, which are as
					 follows:
a. Elimination of the words
				  "MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL" as they apply to the word "SPECIALTY". The key word is
				  now "SPECIALTY",
not
"MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL
				  SPECIALTY".
b. Since MOS will no
				  longer apply to commissioned officers of the Army National Guard, it changes
				  the concept of an individual being awarded a primary MOS, a secondary MOS, or
				  an additional MOS. Under OPMS, an officer is designated a Primary Specialty and
				  an Alternate Specialty (if he possesses necessary qualifications for the award
				  of such). These specialties are identified by two digit specialty codes; the
				  first specialty (Primary) code identifies the specialty in which an officer is
				  currently assigned and the latter (Alternate) identifies the specialty planned
				  for his future assignment.
c.
				  ROMOSS also eliminates the single digit Special Qualification Identifier (SQI)
				  and replaces it with an Additional Skill Identifier (ASI).
d. Under ROMOSS, appropriate codes (SSI, ASI,
				  or LIC) will be applied to military and civilian education and training. This
				  means that all courses of instruction will be identifiable with Army
				  requirements and utilization of officer skills acquired through these courses
				  can be properly charted and monitored. This will provide the DCSPA with a
				  better capability of matching talent or skills with spaces and projecting
				  training requirements.
e. ROMOSS
				  will also be applied to officer records and files in an area oniled "Acquired
				  Skills". This will be a summary of SCI date resulting from education, training
				  and/or experience.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
On authorization documents, position requirements will be
					 identified by the three character SCI (2 digits and 1 letter), supporting or
					 secondary specialty (2 digits) . and two ASI (digit and latter each), or one
					 ASI and one LIC (2 letters). The following table; as well as the one found in
					 Section II, to chapter 1, to AR 611-101 depicts a diagram of Position
					 Requirement: Codes:

NOTE: The above table shows as an example. A position
					 requirement for an Armor Officer (12A), qualified as a Maintenance Management
					 Officer (91), and qualified as an Aviation Safety Officer (IS), for an
					 assignment to Greece (knowledge of Greek language necessary (GR)-would look
					 like this
"12A911SGR"
.
a. The basic elements of the classification
				  system are coded and have the following data uses as indicated below:
(1)
Specialty
: Two
				  digits which are used to identify principal position requirements, secondary
				  position requirements, and officer's designated primary and alternate
				  specialties. Note that the two digit specialty codes are the first two
				  characters of the specialty skill identifier codes included within the
				  specialty.
(2)
Specialty skill Identifier (SSI)
: Three characters (2
				  digits and 1 letter) which are used to identify the specialty skill
				  requirement(s) of a position and specialty skill qualification of
				  officers.
(3)
Additional Skill Identifiers (ASI)
: Two characters (1
				  digit and 1 letter) which are used to identify the additional skill
				  requirement(s) a position and additional skill qualifications of the
				  officer.
(4)
Language

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Initial classification into Primary Specialties for all
					 WVARNG Officers will be completed in accordance with instructions contained in
					 letter from NGB, Subject: "ARNG Officer Personnel Management System (OPMS)
					 (OPMS2-76), dated 20 May 1976. The DCSPA will adhere to the following criteria
					 for the initial officer classifications:
a. Assignment of Primary Specialty to each
				  officer will be made according to the duty position that the officer presently
				  occupies authorized by the organization MTOE in accordance with the conversion
				  tables contained in Appendix C, DA Circular 611-44, dated 2 October 1975
				  provided that the individual officer is properly qualified in the
				  position.
b.
Alternate
				  Specialty
: The following considerations will be given the
				  attainment of Alternate Specialties by officer in the West Virginia Army
				  National Guard:
(1) Since there may be few
				  opportunities for an officer in the West Virginia Army National Guard to
				  acquire a Military Alternate Specialty within the State due to TOE/TDA and
				  geographical limitations, the Alternate Specialty may be acquired primarily
				  from prior assignments frequently caused from reorganizations and the
				  coincidence of civilian occupations and/or education. Since the State ARNG has
				  no control over civilian occupation or education of our members, only minimal
				  programming and planning will be possible in this area.
(2) The changing of an officer's Primary
				  Specialty may occur more frequently as a result of reorganization and
				  geographical moves caused by the officer's civilian occupation. In these cases,
				  the new Primary Specialty might compliment the former specialty but
				  nevertheless, would establish a valid alternate specialty.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a. The
				  basic functions of OPMS Management at all levels, beginning with the individual
				  officer himself and continuing through the entire chain of management involves
				  effective processes of planning, organizing coordinating, and controlling.
				  These processes must be applied at all levels, from procurement to
				  training/education, utilization, assignments, transfers, all the way through
				  separation/retirement. Development and motivation of all WVARNG officer
				  personnel is a must in order to successfully accomplish the overall mission,
				  especially at the organizational level.
b. In order to properly establish and
				  administer the OPMS in an effective and timely manner, an adequate system of
				  records and reports is vital for the successful operation of the
				  system.
c. The prime consideration
				  that must continually be emphasized at all levels of command concerning OPMS is
				  the development of individual potential and development of an organization
				  climate that enhances the attitude, motivation, commitment, and sense of well
				  being of all WVARNG officers and their families.
d. Proper career management of WVARNG
				  officers must be exercised throughout all command levels beginning at the unit
				  level of assignment and continuing through immediate/intermediate headquarters
				  to the DCSPA, who functions under the direct control of the State Adjutant
				  General and the direct supervision of the Military Personnel Officer. Unit
				  commanders and ARNG technicians; battalion personnel officers; and the
				  Battalion/Major Command Commander must assume an effective role as OPMS
				  managers, then function as such under the guidance and control of the
				  DCSPA.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a. Coordinating is
				  the process of integrating the manpower, materials, and resources necessary to
				  effectively implement and administer OPMS at all levels in the WVARNG. The
				  primary purpose of coordination is to secure the cooperation and agreement of
				  all individuals concerned in the proper and timely process of officer career
				  management in the WVARNG. Proper coordination will prevent conflict and
				  duplication of effort by allowing necessary adjustments in plans and policies
				  before implementation.
b. Some
				  specific coordination procedures relating to OPMS in the WVARNG include:
(1) Formal and informal conferences conducted
				  at State and Major Command levels within the state. As a minimum, such
				  conferences should include all personnel involved in the actual mechanics of
				  implementing and operating OPMS in the WVARNG.
(2) Briefings conducted for the purpose of
				  familiarizing commanders, staffs, and others not involved in the day-to-day
				  implementation and administration of OPMS in the WVARNG.
(3) Individual contacts must be made with all
				  officers concerning their responsibilities and desires involved in OPMS in the
				  WVARNG.
(4) Written correspondence
				  must be utilized to maintain updated familiarization with changing procedures
				  and requirements related to officer career management.
(5) Prompt distribution of essential
				  information, discussions, and other matters to all levels down to and including
				  the individual officers concerned.
(6) Maintaining close contact and exchange of
				  information by all organizational elements with corresponding elements at
				  higher, lower, adjacent, and supporting organizations.
(7) Continuing visits to subordinate units by
				  responsible personnel from the office of the DCSPA and orientation tours of the
				  State level operations by responsible personnel from subordinate units. This
				  will promote understanding between State level officer career management
				  personnel and organizational level personnel of the total system from input to
				  output.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a. Directing is
				  defined as the effective communication of decisions and ideas to all
				  individuals to enable a more efficient attainment and maintenance of
				  objectives. As previously stated, an effective manager at all levels must
				  assign responsibilities and delegate authority to key personnel to properly
				  accomplish the mission of OPMS Management in the WVARNG. An effective manager
				  knows his job, the capabilities and limitations of his available personnel, his
				  resources, and is thoroughly familiar with the principles of sound management.
				  The following steps should more clearly outline the essential elements of
				  directing:
b. Direction. The
				  effectiveness of a Career Manager is measured by the extent he has established
				  and improved the efficiency of his real of responsibility.
c. Motivation of Personnel. Proper motivation
				  of all individuals provides a desire or stimulus by all concerned to achieve
				  the stated objectives.
d. Issue
				  Timely Instructions. Timely instructions include the when, where, and by whom
				  each function in the chain of OPMS Management is to be accomplished. A rule of
				  thumb when issuing instructions is to remember "if it can be misunderstood - it
				  will be misunderstood."
e. Proper
				  Supervision. Supervise the execution of instructions but be careful not to
				  oversupervise.
West Virginia Code of State Rules › Agency 141 - Adjutant General › Title 141 - LEGISLATIVE RULE ADJUTANT GENERAL › Series 141-31 - Introduction To Officer Personnel Management System (OPMS) › Chapter 3 - MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS OF OPMS › Section 141-31-3-6 - CONTROLLING

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a. Controlling is
				  the action taken by a career manager to insure that plans, orders, directives,
				  and policies that pertain to officer career management in the WVARNG are being
				  accomplished in such a manner that the objectives are being obtained. Effective
				  career managers of officer personnel management at all levels should make wide
				  use of such controls as data logs, suspense files, check lists, checksheets,
				  proper verification of one document against another containing similar
				  information, and timely methods of supervisory review.
b. Control methods which are intelligently
				  devised, judiciously applied, and closely monitored are some of the most
				  valuable tools in the hands of a career manager at any level to aid him in
				  controlling work flow, estimate requirements, reducing errors, and fixing of
				  responsibility for actions taken. Once adequate control methods are
				  established, provisions must be made to insure:
(1) Responsible elements and individuals are
				  promptly notified of required actions to properly handle a given
				  situation.
(2) Take immediate
				  action to fix responsibility for errors revealed by effective control measures
				  and correct such situations to prevent recurrence.
(3) Keep individual officers continually
				  informed of suspense situations requiring actions on their part in order to
				  properly guide their career development.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a. To the DCSPA,
				  training presents a two-pronged situation. First and foremost he must
				  effectively guide and assist in the proper training programs of each individual
				  officer within the State, in order to properly channel the officer's career
				  development. Secondly, he must insure the proper training of his subordinates
				  involved in officer career management at all levels who will assist him in
				  administering the program.
b. The
				  training mission for the career development of WVARNG officers is somewhat
				  different from those in the Active Army. Primarily, the WVARNG is concerned
				  with the prepartion of units rather than individuals for possible mobilization
				  and combat. The "dual tracking" concept of OPMS development (the development
				  and qualification by each officer in an alternate (secondary) as well as
				  primary specialty) should be encouraged and developed whenever possible. First,
				  however, consideration and available resources will be focused on the definite
				  qualification by each officer in his primary speciality in order that he can
				  effectively perform in his assigned unit TOE/TDA position.
c. All officers will be encouraged to develop
				  an alternate (secondary) specialty. Necessary training for the award of
				  alternate specialties will be predicated upon the availability of programs and
				  funds that remain after proper utilization for required primary training. The
				  following management factors should be considered in the award of alternate
				  specialties to an officer:
(1) Previous
				  Military Education and Experience.
(2) Civilian Education successfully
				  completed.
(3) Civilian
				  Occupation.
(4) Available positions
				  within the State for possible MOBDES assignments.
(5) Personal preference of the officer
				  concerned.
(6) Any other factors
				  deemed appropriate on evaluation of each officer concerned.

Accurate and timely records are essential in the
					 development of the OPMS for West Virginia. Data entered on individual personnel
					 records, both at unit level and at higher headquarters, form the basis for all
					 determinations pertaining to the individual officer's career while in the
					 WVARNG. The records and systems described in this chapter will form the basis
					 by which decisions will be made by officer career managers and commanders
					 concerning officer specialty classification and assignments under requirements
					 of the OPMS.
