Trooper Transfer Process

The following guide contains the whole process of initiating and forwarding a transfer request within the 7th Cavalry Regiment. It also sets the authority of approving transfer requests. This guide is valid for transfer requests at all levels (Section, Platoon, Company, Battalion).

If a Trooper wishes to file a transfer, the following steps have to be taken:

1. Creating a PM with the Trooper's immediate CoC (please make sure that any participant is able to add other members to this conversation). He then needs to fill out the following template (it contains all neccessary information):
   • Trooper's Name:
   • Reason for Transfer:
   • Practice Days that work best:
   • Practice Times that work best:
   • Requested Section/Platoon/Company/MOS change (if any):
2. The recipient of the original PM adds all pertinent level of CoC. This continues until the lowest joint authority has been added. Also, both the sending and the receiving party need to be part of that PM.
3. The lowest joint authority approves or denies the transfer.

The approving authority for transfers changes due to the dimension of the transfer. Authority of Approval lies with:

• Platoon Staff for transfers within the Platoon
• Company Staff for transfers within the Company
• Battalion Staff for transfers within the Battalion

If a Trooper wishes to transfer between billets in the Cav, they will use the updated PAF:

This includes moving to and from the reserve.

Transfers within a Company can still be handled internally. Possible transfer to/from:

• HQ
• A/1-7
• B/1-7
• C/1-7
• C/2-7
• E/2-7
• Reserve
• Starter platoons

An exception to this are transfer requests to a Starter Platoon. Since the Starter Platoon is set up at Regimental level, all transfers have to be approved by at least the Chief of Staff or his designate.

This process aims for streamlining the transfer process on all levels. It also ensures that no request is blocked at any level. All participants below the approving authority can and have to add information to this process, so that an informed decision can be made.
