Secondary Billets as a Primary Billet

In some cases, the work being done within a Secondary Billet by a particular individual may be more than what would be considered an additional duty. As such, a particular individual may request that their Secondary Billet become their Primary Billet, and transfer into such position.

Requesting a Secondary Billet as a Primary Billet

In order to request a Secondary Billet, as listed above, to become a Primary Billet for a particular individual, said individual will need to submit a request the department's 2IC, 1IC, and Regimental Oversight Staff. Such personnel can be found on the department's respective WIKI pages.

Removal of a Secondary Billet as a Primary Billet

Regimental Oversight Staff may remove personnel that are in a Secondary Billet as a Primary Billet at any time. Personnel will be then transferred back into an available and appropriate Primary Billet, as listed above, of their choice. If they fail to transfer to any suitable position within fourteen days they will be retired/discharged as applicable.
