When assigned to a high-risk billet, when will PSVAs be initiated?

The initiation of a Pre-Deployment Screening and Validation Assessment (PVSA) is a critical process when personnel are assigned to high-risk billets. The correct timeframe for initiating PVSAs is within 90 days of such assignment. This 90-day window allows for a comprehensive assessment of the readiness and fitness of the individual to ensure they are adequately prepared for the unique challenges and demands associated with high-risk duties.

Completing the PVSA within this timeframe also ensures that any issues identified can be addressed promptly, thereby optimizing operational efficiency and safety. Understanding this timeline is essential for maintaining the operational readiness of personnel and safeguarding both individual and unit effectiveness.
