2. Cancellation. COMNAVRESINTCOMINST 1080.1G

3. Background. References (a) and (b) set forth the organization of the Naval Reserve Intelligence Command (NAVRESINTCOM) and establish RIACs as the local area commanders reporting directly to Commander, Naval Reserve Intelligence Command (COMNAVRESINTCOM). In order for the 15 RIACs, two Transitional Coordinators and 15 Area Command Chiefs to carry out their mission, they must each drill in their own geographical area while being assigned to the Office of Naval Intelligence Headquarters Detachment Reserve Unit (ONIHQ DET 0170), which is administratively managed by NAS Dallas. Normal reserve services for RIACs and Command Chiefs should be provided by the RIPO and local host air activity.

4. Procedures.

a. Unit assignment orders. All RIACs and Command Chiefs will be attached to a local pay unit and cross assigned out to ONIHQ DET 0170 (UIC 88717) in the billets shown in enclosure (1).

b. RIAC orders should read as follows:

"Report to Commander, Naval Reserve Intelligence Command, Dallas, TX, for inactive duty training in a pay status. You are designated Reserve Intelligence Area Commander, Area. For administrative purposes, report to Commanding Officer, (name of local unit, RUIC, base, city, state of local unit) in a cross-assigned out billet. Your permanent drill site is (local base, city, state). All your records will be maintained at your permanent drill site. You are cross-assigned out to NR ONIHQ DET 0170, RUIC 88717, billet (RBSC/AUIC from enclosure (1)). Report for additional duty to Commanding Officer, (RIA Host Air Activity). For fitness report purposes, your regular reporting senior is Commander, Naval Reserve Intelligence Command."

c. For Command Chiefs: modify orders to show RIAC as regular reporting senior. Also, ensure the local RSTARS/RTSS operator assigns the Command Chief to the appropriate cross-assigned out billet shown in enclosure (1).

d. RIACs and Command Chiefs will receive the same support services as any other member attached to a local RIA unit, i.e., mustering, drill accounting, pay, AT/ADT orders, service record and medical/dental record maintenance, travel claim liquidation, etc.

e. RIACs must establish a regular drill schedule for themselves and their staff. Whenever possible, this schedule should coincide with the first drill weekend of the month as established by COMNAVRESINTCOM in reference (c).

f. RIACs/Command Chiefs will appear on the muster of the local unit to which assigned. That unit must account for RIAC/Command Chief drills the same as for any other unit member. The RIPO should coordinate with the local unit to ensure RIAC/Command Chief drills are properly recorded.

5. Action.

a. For incoming RIACs, RIPOs are to ensure that order modifications are written per paragraph 4.b. above, effective 1 October. Similarly, for incoming Command Chiefs, modify orders per paragraph 4.c. above. Ensure local RTSS/RSTARS operators assign RIACs/Command Chiefs to the correct cross-assigned out billets.

b. For outgoing RIACs, RIPOs are to ensure order modifications are written transferring RIACs to IVTUs effective 1 October. For outgoing Command Chiefs, modify orders to make the unit CO the reporting senior.

c. RIACs should publish their drill schedules before 1 October. Send copies to this command and to the local RPD.
