Which document is required to propose changes to the UMD?

The correct document required to propose changes to the Unit Manpower Document (UMD) is the Authorization Change Request (ACR). The ACR is specifically designed to facilitate updates and modifications to manpower requirements and allocations within the UMD. It provides the necessary framework for requesting changes, ensuring that those changes are documented and reviewed through the appropriate channels within the organization.

The ACR also helps maintain a structured process for managing manpower adjustments, which is crucial for the effective and efficient functioning of a unit. This structured approach supports the alignment of personnel resources with mission requirements, ensuring that units are properly staffed and resourced for their operational needs.

In contrast, while the UMD itself contains details about current manpower allocations, it does not serve as a means for proposing changes. The Project Management Report and Personnel Action Form, although essential for other purposes, do not specifically address the procedural requirements for altering the UMD. Therefore, the ACR is the designated document that effectively communicates and processes changes to the unit’s manpower needs.
