Relief in Place/Transfer of Authority Checklists
Appendix A
The transition from the outgoing agribusiness development team (ADT) to the incoming ADT is called relief in place/transfer of authority (RIP/TOA). Done correctly, the RIP/TOA allows the departing team to "pass the baton" to the incoming team with minimal interruption. Initially, the only change should be different faces and identifying patches on uniforms.
RIPs/TOAs follow the "right-seat/left-seat ride" concept; the incoming team shadows the outgoing team to observe the process-with a transition to the incoming team performing the mission and the outgoing team shadowing the incoming team to ensure understanding of the process.
Following are key areas that should be addressed during the RIP/TOA. They may apply to the incoming team, the outgoing team, or both.
- Drive and vehicle equipment training
