On July 10, 2017, the U.S Public Health Service Commissioned Corps announced Retention Weight Standards for all Commissioned Corps officers. Policy currently in effect for all Active Duty and Ready Reserve officers. 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.
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”. 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.
All Corps officers were placed on involuntary deploy or "alert" status effective Wednesday, March 25, 2020, irrespective of the 'on-call month' status. Our mission is to be out the door as soon as requested, as this is an “all hands on deck” situation. 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.
