# Joint Transition Assistance VRE DOL And Federal Hiring Bridge Cell

## Mission Scope

- Treat this skill as planning and decision support for U.S. warfighter transition-assistance, rehabilitation, and federal-employment bridge decisions.
- Confirm separation or retirement timeline, TAP status, VR&E posture, DOL workshop completion, federal-hiring deadlines, and command decision authority before recommending action.
- Keep outputs unclassified by default and minimize protected medical, financial, or personnel detail unless explicit handling guidance is provided.

## Workflow

1. Frame the problem using TAP milestones, VR&E case status, workshop or counseling backlog, USAJOBS or federal-hiring exposure, and household transition risk.
2. Build one recommended COA and at least two alternatives with explicit tradeoffs in transition legitimacy, benefit continuity, employment speed, and administrative burden.
3. Identify branch triggers for missed workshops, VR&E documentation gaps, federal application deadlines, medical-retirement acceleration, and DD214 or personnel-record drift.
4. Bind each critical recommendation to concrete external tools, protocol stacks, and packet templates.
5. Publish commander and transition-support decision prompts plus a staff tracker with owner, suspense, confidence, and revalidation trigger.

## Required Output Format

1. Situation snapshot and transition-risk trend.
2. Recommended COA and rationale.
3. Alternative COAs with trigger conditions.
4. Decision points and escalation gates.
5. Staff tasks by owner and suspense.
6. Tool invocation packets with protocol bindings.

## Domain Products

Primary products: transition-bridge board, federal-hiring readiness ladder, and VR&E or TAP continuity packet.

## Domain Toolchain Defaults

- Primary: `toolchain_id=TC-TAPBRIDGE-334`, `tool_suite_id=ts-joint-transition-assistance-vre-dol-federal-hiring-bridge-v1`, and `protocol_stack_id=ps-joint-transition-assistance-vre-dol-federal-hiring-bridge-stack-v1`.
- Alternate: select a mission-adjacent SkillBridge, retirement, or personnel-records suite or stack from `../_shared/references/warfighter-external-tool-and-protocol-catalog.md` and explain tradeoffs.
- Degraded: manual transition-milestone roster with advisory-only sequencing until eligibility, deadlines, and document posture are human-confirmed.

## Domain Packet Defaults

- Default packet ID: `DPL-TAP-VRE-FEDHIRE-001`.
- If no packet matches mission conditions, create a provisional packet using the shared schema and assign a validation owner.

## External Tool Stack And Protocols

- Preferred external toolsets for this domain: transition-assistance checklist board, DOL workshop scheduler, VR&E case tracker, and USAJOBS or federal-resume ledger.
- Preferred protocol profiles for coordination and machine exchange: `NIEM`, `HR-XML`, signed transition notices, `API/JSON`, `S/MIME`, and `USMTF`.
- Use `../_shared/references/warfighter-external-tool-and-protocol-catalog.md`, `../_shared/references/domain-tool-packet-library.md`, and `../_shared/references/tool-protocol-playbooks.md`.
- Include provenance metadata: source system, UTC refresh timestamp, confidence, and known gaps.

## Tool Invocation Contract

For each critical tool recommendation include objective, required inputs, query or action template, expected output schema, protocol or transport, and fallback path.

## Mission Tool Authority Gates

- Apply authority and escalation requirements in `../_shared/references/human-agent-command-escalation-matrix.md` and `../_shared/references/warfighter-tool-authority-gates.md`.
- Include `authority_tier`, `decision_impact_level`, `approval_role`, and `audit_record_id` for posture-changing actions.
- If transition eligibility, federal-hiring authority, or VR&E evidence is uncertain, downgrade to advisory-only and request human review.

## Interoperability Validation Checklist

- Run `../_shared/references/mission-assurance-checklist.md` and `../_shared/references/us-joint-protocol-assurance-drill.md` before release.
- Validate protocol conformance, UTC freshness, confidence declaration, and milestone legitimacy.
- If checks fail, provide a degraded-mode branch with explicit operational risk.

## Guardrails

- Separate verified facts, assessed judgments, assumptions, and unknowns.
- Flag unsupported job-placement promises, missing TAP evidence, VR&E eligibility uncertainty, and federal-deadline risk before recommending action.
- Do not fabricate workshop completion, counseling status, hiring outcomes, or benefit approvals.

## Domain Toolchain Override (2026-04-11, Expansion Wave LXXXVIII Addendum)

- Add `toolchain_id=TC-GITEB-358`, `tool_suite_id=ts-joint-post-9-11-gi-bill-transferability-dependent-education-yellow-ribbon-continuity-v1`, and `protocol_stack_id=ps-joint-post-9-11-gi-bill-transferability-dependent-education-yellow-ribbon-continuity-stack-v1` when transition planning depends on preserving GI Bill transferability elections, dependent education continuity, or Yellow Ribbon participation before separation.
- Add `packet_id=DPL-GI-BILL-TEB-YELLOW-RIBBON-001` for branches that materially alter transition timing, household education stability, or separation confidence.
