APPLICABILITY. This Instruction applies to: a. OSD, the Military Departments, including the Coast Guard at all times (including when it is a Service in the Department of Homeland Security by agreement with that Department), the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Staff, the Combatant Commands, the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense, the Defense Agencies, the DoD Field Activities, and all other organizational entities in the Department of Defense (hereafter referred to as the DoD Components ). b. All active duty personnel counted and reported as part of official Active Component strength as defined in DoD Instruction 1120.11 (Reference (b)) who are participating in or associated with a PERSTEMPO event or activity. c. All Guard or Reserve personnel counted and reported as part of official Reserve Component strength who are participating in or associated with a PERSTEMPO event or activity. d.

4. POLICY. It is DoD policy that: a. A centralized database of all PERSTEMPO events shall provide information for research, actuarial analysis, interagency reporting, and evaluation of DoD programs and policies. b. The requirements and procedures prescribed by DoD 5400.11-R (Reference (c)) must be followed to safeguard the personnel data in that reporting system. Individuals having access to identifiable personnel information may be held personally responsible and punishable for making unauthorized disclosures. The database is subject to computer matching programs, as regulated by the Privacy Act. Computer matching is conducted with other Federal and non-federal agencies for such purposes as to verify eligibility for benefit programs and determine continued compliance with benefit program requirements. Matching is also conducted to recover improper payments made to, or delinquent debts owed by Federal personnel to include current and former military members. 4. RESPONSIBILITIES a. Under Secretary for Personnel and Readiness (USD(P&R)). The USD(P&R) shall provide overall policy guidance for DoD reporting of all PERSTEMPO events. b. Director, Defense Human Resources Activity.

Secretaries of the Military Departments and the Commandant of the Coast Guard. The Secretaries of the Military Departments and the Commandant of the Coast Guard shall implement these reporting requirements whenever Service members participate in or are associated with a PERSTEMPO event or activity. In accordance with section 487 of title 10, United States Code (Reference (d)), such participation or association occurs when Service members are engaged in official duties at a location or under circumstances that make it infeasible for them to spend off-duty time in the housing in that they reside when on garrison duty at their permanent duty station. 5.
