What is an IA?
- Individual Augmentees (IAs) are Sailors who support or “augment” another Navy, Marine Corps or Army command.
- Sailors usually go to their IA assignment on temporary or TAD orders and return to their current or “parent” command once they complete their assignment.
- Assignments vary in length from a few months to a year or more.
