It seems that the Commissioned Corps Ready Responders do not easily fit into the mold for the new billets system. Would these billets be considered multidisciplinary billets?
If the Ready Responder duties are inherent in the position encumbered by a Commissioned Officer (i.e. the duties are permanently linked to the position regardless of the officer who holds the position), then these duties would be reflected in the free-text “additional duties” section of a category-specific (e.g. Medical, Dental, Nurse, etc.) billet. If the duties are officer-dependent (i.e. when an officer leaves the position, the officer who backfills the position may or may not be a Ready Responder), then these duties are considered collateral duties and would not be reflected in the billet; they would only be reflected in the officers CV and profile. In our new billets system, billets describe positions and not officer capabilities and collateral assignments. In the latter scenario, the billet would not be a multidisciplinary billet, either. Multidisciplinary billets are defined as billets that may be encumbered by officers from greater than one professional category.
