2. DAWG - BLUF
1. Fast way to spin up is to read AFI Duty Limiting Conditions, 15 Jan 2013
Tier 1: Read Chapter 4 (8 pages) & Atch 4 (1 page)
Tier 2: Search for “DAWG” & read relevant hit
Tier 3: Review all of AFI (49 pages)
2. Decide if you want “combined” or “split” DAWG
i.e. “administrative DAWG” + “case review DAWG”
3. Use Atch 4 template or templates in this briefing to jump start your documentation.

3. DAWG – meeting interval
- AFI The DAWG at ARC installations should meet monthly, but not less than quarterly.
IMHO….
…monthly meeting is overkill for admin functions
…quarterly meeting is inadequate for case review
So, a quarterly administrative DAWG and a monthly case review DAWG is probably close to optimal.

4. DAWG – meeting model
1. DAWG mtg combined w/ AMC +/- OEHWG quarterly mtg
2. Separate DAWG mtg
2.a. Address all DAWG req in one quarterly mtg
2.b. Address DAWG admin req in quarterly mtg
& address DAWG case review req in monthly mtg

5. DAWG – meeting model
1. DAWG mtg combined w/ AMC +/- OEHWG quarterly mtg
-Advantage: only 1 quarterly mtg to schedule
-Advantage: all 3 mtgs chaired by SGP
-Advantage: quarterly DAWG interval aligns w/ AMC & OEHWG AFIs
-Disadvantage: long mtg to cover all required items
-Disadvantage: attendees of each mtg vary, so potential for suboptimal use of attendees time
-Disadvantage: quarterly interval is probably inadequate for DAWG case review functions

6. DAWG – meeting model 2. Separate DAWG mtg
2.a. Address all DAWG req in one quarterly mtg
-Advantage: one quarterly meeting
-Disadvantage: quarterly interval is probably inadequate for DAWG case review functions
2.b. Address DAWG admin req in quarterly mtg
& address DAWG case review req in monthly mtg
-Advantage: optimal intervals for both admin & case management
-Advantage: isolates PHI to case management DAWG allowing anyone to attend admin DAWG
-Disadvantage: monthly meetings for case review

7. DAWG – meeting model: Admin Attendees
Per AFI
SGP (chair),
SGH,
SPO (if not the SGP or SGH),
Profile Officers,
MSME (ANG full time health technician),
ARC Fitness Prgm MLO (if not the SGP)

8. DAWG – meeting model: Admin Attendees
- Note: Chair may elect to have reports from other sections with prgms that impact deployment availability, such as Optometry for gas-mask inserts, Public Health for immunizations, and Dental.
- Note: requirement for FSS rep gone. However, I think it is still a good idea to have a FSS rep given the need for a good working relationship for ASIMS/MilPDS data reconciliation and NDDES Prgm execution.
- Note: if no PHI is addressed, anyone may attend DAWG (AFI )
