  OVERVIEW OF HR SUPPORT TO REPLACEMENT OPERATIONS
  3-80. The mission of the replacement system is to move personnel from designated points of origin to
  ultimate destinations while ensuring they are equipped and trained. The goal of the individual replacement
  process is to fill units with trained Soldiers to maintain operational readiness and sustain combat power for
  the commander. The process includes the physical reception, accounting, processing, support, reequipping,
  training, and delivery of military and civilian personnel. This includes both replacement and RTD Soldiers.
  It does not include the decision-making process associated with determining allocation of replacements,
  which is described under PRM.
  3-81. Due to the relatively low levels of casualties the Army has experienced during recent conflicts, the
  personnel demands on the replacement system have been limited. Although HR formations and G-1/AGs and
  S-1s at echelon still have a role in replacement operations, they do not have the holistic responsibility they
  did when HR replacement formations existed. The sustainment community has shared ownership over the
  execution of replacement operations and is in the process of codifying roles and responsibilities by echelon
  and organization. Human resources support to replacement operations includes the following:
  * Personnel accounting and strength reporting as part of the reception process at echelon.
  * Providing EPS to NRP (individual replacements).
  * Informing the sustainment enterprise of allocation decisions so movement of personnel (NRP,
  RTD personnel, and DOD and DA Civilians (excluding contractors)) within the theater can be
  coordinated/synchronized.
  3-82. Headquarters, Department of the Army, DCS G-1, Directorate of Military Personnel Management,
  establishes individual replacement policy; the HRC implements the policy. That policy guides the
  development of individual replacement plans for each established theater of operations, based on casualty
  estimates and replacement requirements developed and approved by combatant commanders. Casualty and
  replacement estimates are determined through MPTk. The replacement requirements go back to the Army
  G-3 to determine sourcing: Individual Replacement System, Small Team Replacement System, Unit
  Replacement System (company/troop/battery) or larger, or a hybrid approach.
  3-83. The HQDA, DCS G-3/5/7, in coordination with FORSCOM, sources unit replacements and informs
  the HRC how many of the remaining replacement processes for managing and filling the Army’s manning
  requirements are expected to be filled by an Individual or Small Team Replacement System during war,
  crisis, and national emergency. The HRC sources individual replacements as determined by the HQDA
  approved replacement policy from Army G-1, Directorate of Military Personnel Management and HQDA
  DCS G-3/5/7 prioritization. Refer to AR 600-8-111, Army Mobilization, Manning, and Wartime Replacement
  Operations, for policies. When required, individual replacements move from their home station to the CRC
  for training for those requirements sourced by individual replacements. Figure 3-3 depicts a notional NRP
  replacement operations framework.
