How are TAD requirements typically allocated among departments?

TAD (Temporary Additional Duty) requirements are allocated among departments primarily by department to ensure that each department's operational needs and goals are met effectively. This approach allows for a structured way to manage personnel assignments based on the specific requirements of each department, taking into account their unique missions, workloads, and available resources.

By focusing on departmental needs, command leaders can align TAD assignments with the strategic objectives of their units, ensuring that the right skills and personnel are deployed where they are most needed. Departments may have various projects or initiatives that require additional manpower, and allocating TAD requirements in this manner allows for efficient utilization of personnel while minimizing disruption to regular operations.

While factors such as rank, necessity, and availability may influence individual assignments within the overall allocation process, the primary method of allocation is based on the demands and operational priorities of each department.
