Expeditionary Civilian (EC) Position This is an Expeditionary Civilian (EC) position, and the incumbent will be designated as EE. In the event of a crisis situation, the incumbent may be required to deploy via temporary reassignment or be required to stay in place to support contingency operations. The incumbent may be required to take part in readiness exercises. This position cannot be vacated during a national emergency or mobilization without seriously impairing the capability of the organization to function effectively; therefore, the position requires the incumbent to be screened from military recall.

This requirement must be met prior to placement in an EC position. Positions identified as EE are subject to deployment to combat support situations.

Additional allocations are based on the Department of State's determination of a combat zone.
