Due to current operations, larger numbers of augmentees are required and with the need for stability, augmentation is now being accomplished with long duration TDY orders or unaccompanied PCS orders in most cases.\n\nFurthermore, certain commands are being task with supplying IA's in non critical jobs to support efforts.  Recently, incentive programs have been established with substantial bonuses to entice volunteers.  \n\nHope this answers your question.
