Requesting MPA Orders
MPA are orders that are funded by the active component. The MPA orders process begins with the unit MPA man-day manager submitting a request for the IR to perform duty in the Manpower MPA Man-day Management System (M4S). The IR is given an M4S Task ID which he/she then enters in an AROWS-R orders request.
When requesting MPA orders that require travel and per diem, the IR needs to work with the MPA-owning organization to have them "cross org" the units Line of Accounting (LOA) and the DTSs routing list. This will allow the IR to see that LOA and routing list in their DTS profile and select it when using the MPA-owning units fund for travel. Previously members were instructed to do a "catch and release" of the IR's DTS profile between the detachment and the MPA-owning unit. This is no longer allowed.
Members who will exceed 1825 days in the previous 2,190 days (5 years out of 6 years) who want to go on MPA or RPA must get an 1825 waiver to do so. More information can be found in the
AFRC 1825 Waiver Guide.
