Overseas officers are considered mission critical. Therefore, overseas officers can volunteer for deployments but are currently not included on the OFRD response teams or ready roster. Overseas officers should not be on the OFRD response teams or ready roster, and CIOs should submit the names of officers in international assignments through OCCP to OFRD, and should make CAPT Cline aware of this issue. Domestic officers are called first to meet domestic public health needs. In cases where there is an overwhelming public health response need, overseas officers may be called to deploy. This policy relates to resources required to travel the officer and the usually lengthier time period for an overseas officer to arrive in the response destination.
