What is the Annual Screening Questionnaire (ASQ)?
As a member of the IRR/ ISL/ ASL, you are obligated by U.S.C. Title 10, to keep the U.S. Coast Guard informed of any changes that would prevent you from being mobilized and to update your address on an annual basis. We track your information through the use of a form named the Annual Screening Questionnaire (ASQ). The ASQ is usually mailed at the beginning of October each year. As a reminder, failure to keep the Coast Guard informed of your mobilization status via the ASQ may result in either your recall to active duty for a period of up to 45 days, transfer to the Standby Reserve Inactive Status List, or immediate processing for separation. Please ensure that you respond to these annual ASQ’s and that you maintain your most current address with us throughout the year so that we may reach you if needed. See also our ASQ page.
