Yet since announcement, changes have been made-lik- e changes in job descriptions, changes in position titles, and changes in grade. The Command has answered charges to this by , stating that the AMCR does not apply to DTC in this case. This seems strange, since the Command applies 690-- 2 in other areas when advantageous to the Command. AMCR 690-- 2 states that a reorganization may not occur when a RIF is in process yet that is exactly what is occurring. It also stales that vacancies le filled by assignment if such action affects the retention standing of other personnel-ye- t that also is occurring.
