    1. The Army’s Transformation concept indicates that units are to be organized, manned, equipped and trained to be more strategically responsive, deployable, agile, versatile, lethal, survivable, and sustainable across the full spectrum of military operations. This briefing describes HR capabilities and structure which achieve the intent of modularity by providing capabilities to theater-level Commanders by redesigning and improving theater-level support for postal, R5 and casualty operations. This document introduces the mission, capabilities, structure, employment, and organizational concept of the Human Resource Support Center (HRSC); the Reception, Replacement, Return to Duty, Rest and Recuperation and Redeployment (R5) Personnel Accounting Team; R5 Platoon; and R5 Company Plans and Operations Team; the Casualty Liaison Team (CLT); the Casualty Platoon; the Postal Platoon; Postal Company Plans and Operations Team; the Human Resource (HR) Company Headquarters; the Theater Gateway R5 team; the Military Mail Terminal (MMT) team. Designed to be modular, scalable and flexible, these organizations will provide essential human resource support to the Modular Forces. These organizations and the concepts of support have significant changes from the current concepts and structure, providing more effective and efficient support of the Modular Joint Expeditionary Army. The modular structure of postal, R5 and casualty support allows for the employment of the tailored, minimal force structure required for the unique theater. Additionally, increased network connectivity will provide visibility of human resources and combat power as geographically dispersed units organize for missions. Connectivity is the critical element that allows the concept to succeed. Through the common operating picture, commanders will have total visibility of assigned or attached personnel, regardless of component.

    3. The structure and composition of G1 sections at the Division and higher level operational headquaretrs are not controlled by the HR community, but are determined by the Combined Arms Center (CAC) which is the proponent for higher-level staffs. The structure of the ASCC/Army, Corps/Division G1 sections have evolved during the UEy and UEx conceptual builds held as part of the Modular design. The resulting G1 sections have been reduced from the requirements presented by the AGS. The next section of this brief addresses the structures and capabilities of the higher-level G1 sections. CAC has assumed with the ASCC/Army-level that individual augmentation will remedy structural shortcomings during combat operations, much as ARCENT/CFLCC has significantly increased its staff sections ISO GWOT.The structure and composition of G1 sections at the Division and higher level operational headquaretrs are not controlled by the HR community, but are determined by the Combined Arms Center (CAC) which is the proponent for higher-level staffs.

    8. To provide EPS, PASR, PRM, PIM, and Casualty Operations to the population supported by the STB as directed by the STB Commander and defined by the DIV/Corps, TSC or ASCC/Army G1 and Army policy. Although a battalion, the STBn S1 section is resourced with accesses and equipment similar to the Bde S1 section due to the scope of the HR support provided by the S1 section. The capability to provide this support is not resident in the headquarters G1 section and this section is under resourced to perform assigned tasks and are unable to assume additional tasks. The Special Troops Battalion S1 Section is a personnel staff section at the Corps/Division, ASCC/Army and Theater Sustainment Command (TSC) level providing HR support to the STB Commander and supported population. Under PSDR, this section empowers the commander to care for Soldiers with organic HR assets. While the STB is only a battalion, the supported population is much larger than an average battalion and because they support the Corps/Division, TSC and ASCC/Army headquarters and Command Group, there is a much larger workload generated. The workload more closely mirrors that of a BCT/BDE S1 than that of a BN. The STB S1 also supports attached and associated teams and separate companies supporting the headquarters. In the ASCC/Army level STB S1, there is a W4 HR Technician to provide a more senior level of technical competence to the STB S1 Section. The STB S1 performs some HR Core Competencies that other BN S1 Sections cannot perform such as records management, casualty operations, data reconciliation, systems administration, strength management and production of identification cards.

    11. HR/SUSTAINMENT RELATIONSHIP HR SRC12 structures have no C2 structure above the company-level. Accordingly, HR Companies fall under Sustainment C2 structures both in garrison and when deployed. HRSCs are attached to the geographically oriented TSCs, which support the various theater ASCC/Army HQs. There are two AC and two USAR HRSCs. The AC HRSCs are aligned with the AC TSCs – 8th HRSC in Hawaii and 14th HRSC at Fort Bragg supporting 1st TSC/ARCENT. 14th HRSC is likely to be forward deployed to Kuwait in support of 1st TSC. Expeditionary Sustainment Commands (ESCs) are the other subordinate commands of TSCs. Sustainment Brigades are deployed either under the C2 of an ESC, the short-duration task organization of a Division, or as subordinate headquarters to the TSC. HR Companies are attached to the BTB of the Sustainment Bde for life support and C2. HR Companies have organic mechanics and food service personnel and have VSAT/CAISI for NIPR connectivity. SIPR connectivity and tactical voice commo is provided by the BTB. HR Companies will be attached to Combat Sustainment Support Battalions (CSSB) if the BTB is removed from the force structure by the Modular Force Review or during certain missions. Additionally, there is an HR Operations cell in the Support Operations Section (SPO) of the Sustainment Bde.HR SRC12 structures have no C2 structure above the company-level.

    12. Mission: to provide theater-level support to the ASCC/Army G1 and Theater Sustainment Command (TSC) Commander to plan, integrate and coordinate the HR support to the theater. The HRSC is a multifunctional, modular organization (staff element) that integrates HR support throughout the theater as defined by the ASCC/Army Commander through the G1. The HRSC provides technical support to the TSC DMC and ASCC/Army G1 and technical guidance to HR Operations cells in Sustainment BDEs and Expeditionary Sustainment Command (ESC) and supported G1s. The HRSC’s flexible, modular and scalable design increases the commander’s ability to tailor HR support based upon the number of Soldiers supported and METT-TC. The modular design of the HRSC further recognizes the requirement to provide support to the ASCC/Army G1 which establishes HR support requirements, priorities and policies for the theater and the TSC DMC which is responsible for providing the HR support, especially in terms of postal, R5, and PASR support. The HRSC consists of a Director, HRSC, Plans and Operations Division, PASR/PRM/IM Division, Casualty Operations Division, R5 Operations Division, and Postal Operations Division General Functions of the HRSC include providing technical guidance to HR Companies and S1 sections in the area of operations, operational planning and current and future operations coordination to support the TSC and ASCC/Army G1; ensuring connectivity and resource support for postal, R5 and casualty units; and integrating personnel data when necessary, and participating in the TSC distribution management process.

    18. MILITARY MAIL TERMINAL (JOINT) SUST BDE W/TO MISSION To provide postal support to a Theater of Operations by coordinating, receiving and processing incoming mail as well as dispatching mail to CONUS. The Military Mail Terminal (MMT) Team is an organization in the Sustainment Brigade with Theater Opening mission. It establishes and runs the Army Component of a Joint Military Mail Terminal with the manpower support of an HR-Postal Company at the Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD). The modular structure is the direct link to other services for postal support. The MMT team provides specialized postal expertise and experience and limited augmentation manpower. The structure allows the commander to add the necessary level of seniority and experience appropriate for a joint theater level mission as well as consolidates the necessary specialty equipment to do this bulk mission. The main function of this team is to process incoming mail as well as dispatch mail to CONUS at the APOD. The MMT team consists of a headquarters section, operations section, and 2 postal squads. The headquarters section consists of a Director, Deputy Director, and Team Sergeant Major as well as 2 vehicle mechanics. The Director becomes the senior Army officer in the JMMT for all technical matters. The headquarters section provides a direct link with other services for operating space at the terminal, flight schedules and ground transportation of mail. The headquarters section also provides a single theater level executor with the expertise to support the TSC DMC and ASCC/Army G1 and other senior military leaders on the theater staff concerning MMT operations and issues. The operation section consists of a 4-man team providing logistical planning, operating guidance, and all other postal staff support. The operations section is the vital link for all theater postal operations planning implementing all necessary input from the other services and guidance from Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA) into the operating plan. It is the operational interface between the MMT and Sustainment BDE SPO HR Ops Sections which coordinate the distribution of mail received from the MMT. Equipment is crucial to the success of this theater level postal team. All heavy postal equipment for the theater is associated with the MMT Team.

This concept represents data provided by the last two PSBs used to execute this mission in SWA. The A/DACG or MCT receives inbound aircraft and offloads pax and baggage. The MCT turns the chalk over to the TG R5 Center at the Personnel Processing Center (PPC). R5 personnel are responsible, as their principle task, to ensure all chalks are completely and accurately entered into the theater deployed database, currently operated in DTAS. The R5 team provides initial theater welcome and base security briefs as well as ensuring initial military pay data is collected to initiate hostile zone pays. R5 personnel supervise the process of returning equipment (body armor, weapons) to R&R and Emergency Leave returnees. A limited, short duration transient holding facility is part of the PPC.

    27. This concept sketch depicts outbound operations at the PPC of the TG R5 Center at an Inter-theater APOD. Pax are received at the PPC by the TG R5 Tm/HR Company (R5-C) from either the RSOI Staging areas for redeployers or intra-theater pax holding areas run by the A/DACG/MCT or the CSSB. Soldiers enterring the PPC receive final theater clearance briefings, secure equipment (R&R), are removed from the theater database (most critical R5 task), go through customs inspections and are kept in a sterile area prior to be turned over to the MCT for loading on outbound aircraft. The TG R5 Team provides the C2 and accomplishes the external coordination with the CSSB and Sustainment Bde HR OPS Cell while the HR Company Cdr runs the internal operations of the center.

    28. This concept sketch describes the intra-theater R5 Center, and in detail, the Personnel Processing Center of the R5 Center. This R5 Center is different from the Inter-theater TG R5 Center which has a significantly larger daily flow which requires significantly more R5 structure to accomplish this task. The pax flow required to generate this center is a flow greater than 600/day. Like the TG R5 Center, the A/DACG or MCT receives inbound aircraft and offloads pax and baggage. The MCT turns the chalk over to the R5 Center at the Personnel Processing Center (PPC). R5 personnel are responsible, as their principle task, to ensure all chalks are completely and accurately entered into the theater deployed database with the change in location, currently operated in DTAS. The R5 PLOPs works closely with the MCT to coordinate the offloading of inbound aircraft and the loading of outbound aircraft. Generally, ASCC/Army G1 or the Corps G1 will determine flow rates through R&R planning guidance. A limited, short duration transient holding facility is part of the PPC. This portion of the facility, as well as the DFAC – if present, is contracted through LOGCAP or is provided by the Force Provider company which is part of the Staging area CSSB.

    29. Casualty Plt Mission: To provide command and control to casualty liaison teams. The Casualty Platoon Headquarters is a headquarters that provides command and control of 3 to 6 Casualty Liaison Teams (CLTs). The Casualty Platoon HQ consists of a platoon leader and platoon sergeant. When deployed, 1 Casualty Plt HQs will augment the Theater CAC at the ASCC/Army G1. The casualty platoon receives all administrative guidance through the HR Company headquarters and the Theater CAC. The Casualty Platoon functions as part of the Casualty Operations Center in a deployed environment. The headquarters ensures that all CLTs are properly resourced to perform the casualty reporting tasks and provide assistance to Soldiers when needed at the CSHs To provide accurate casualty information (reporting and tracking) at medical facilities, mortuary affairs collection points and higher headquarters as well as facilitate real-time casualty information for commanders. Assist in management of casualty operations as needed based on location. CLT Misiion: to provide accurate and timely casualty information to the deployed theater Casualty Area Command formed by the HRSC Casualty Operations Division that serves under the control of the ASCC/Army G1. The CLT consists of 5 personnel led by an E5. See Figure 4-24. The CLTs primary function is to ensure timely casualty reporting to the deployed CAC and ultimately to the CMAOC at HRC. They also assist commanders in keeping accurate casualty statistics throughout the course of an operation. When necessary, based on a split mission, the CLT is capable of splitting the team to support smaller more forward locations such as a Corps/Division mortuary affairs collection company or a CSH that executes split based operations as a result of a task organization change. CSHs that split at the start of a rotation will each receive a full CLT. CLTs not only provide accurate casualty information, but they also act as a liaison for each effected commander. The CLT provides updated status reports to the effected unit and informs the unit if the soldier leaves the theater. The CLTs assist with coordinating a soldier’s return to duty with the unit and/or an R5 unit. The CLT acts as an administrative liaison for the injured Soldier ensuring he or she has access to necessary services such as finance, MWR, or any HR related service. CLTs use DCIPS-Fwd to ensure that subordinate commanders and G1s are able to maintain updated status of casualty location and condition.

    30. When a casualty occurs, the unit reporting the casualty generates a DD Form 1156 which flows to the BCT/BDE S1. The Casualty Report using the Defense Casualty Information Processing System - Forward (DCIPS-FWD) comes from the BCT/BDE S1 and/or the Casualty Liaison Teams located at the CSHs and Mortuary Affairs Collection Company. The reports are digitally sent to the Theater Casualty Area Command formed from the Casualty Operations Division of the HRSC as an element of the ASCC/Army G1 using DCIPS-FWD. ASCC/Army/Corps/Division G1s will ensure Commander-directed guidance on clearance of casualty reports (both DA1156 and DCIPS-FWD traffic) is strictly adhered to by BCT/BDE S1 and CLTs operating in support of the Commander. Accuracy is the more critical element of the casualty report over timliness (which is also critical). The reports are verified through the medical or mortuary affairs systems and the Casualty Operations Division sends the report to HRC. Simultaneously to the formal casualty reporting process, CLTs provide any status changes back to the effected unit and its headquarters. Supplemental reports are done each time status or location changes. CLTs update patient tracking data in eMILPO and perform duty status changes when necessary. The CLT located at the Corps/Division G1 provides the Corps/Division G1 with a link to the CLTs and the Casualty Area Command keeping the commander informed of all casualty information, updates and statistics. The Casualty Operations Division of HRSC (with augmenting Casualty Platoon HQ and CLT) provides the ASCC/Army G1 with the necessary casualty information to keep the ASCC/Army Commander informed.
