Has anyone been on ADOS-RC (Active Duty for Operational Support- Reserve Component) orders for 30 days or less?

I’m an IMA soldier who will be going OCONUS on ADOS orders. Wondering if anyone knows anything about this and if anyone has pointers or guidance for me as far as pay or other matters. Any and all advice is welcome.

I have multiple times, back on the Army side. Less than 30 days works a lot like AT orders, don’t count on 1st/15th pay day, it depends on when the orders are processed.
Over 30 days works like RA pay.
Usual advice about keeping an eye on your trave voucher and GOVCC payments until it clears applies.

I did several tours as an individual augmentee. I never had any pay issues on any of them. The biggest issue I has was on my last one, I was actually assigned to the IRR. So when I went through the REFRAD process, I did not have a home unit to sign off on my travel voucher. I went to a local recruiting station and got one of them to sign the form. Otherwise, everything went fine.
