text: HR Support and HR Planning Considerations during the Army Strategic Roles
  Note: The TG PATs mission does not include conducting any other sustainment related
  requirements for life support and RSOI (for example, billeting, feeding, equipping, and
  transportation of transient personnel). The ASCC tasks the TSC who assigns the theater opening
  sustainment brigade, division sustainment support battalion, combat sustainment support
  battalion, or movement control team to conduct these activities.
  7-9. Planning requirements include determining the number required and placement of HR elements and
  units within a theater of operations. Critical HR functions required during theater opening that must be
  considered during the MDMP for early entry elements include––
  * Initiate and establish theater PASR and personnel tracking.
  * Establish, operate, and maintain the theater personnel database.
  * Establish HR support for replacement operations; establish replacement operations plan.
  * Initiate, establish, and operate the theater CIC and conduct HR support to casualty operations.
  * Coordinate and synchronize the establishment of an MMT to support theater postal operations.
  * Estimate intra-theater mail movement usually by ground between the MMT and APOs.
  7-10. The HROB is part of the early entry element of the theater opening sustainment brigade SPO, focusing
  on ensuring TG PAT personnel are included as part of the early entry element for theater opening and the
  establishment of initial personnel accounting and postal support. Early establishment of postal infrastructure
  during theater opening or early entry operations limits the requirements for postal restrictions and allows the
  flow of mail to commence earlier. The HROB receives technical guidance from the TPOC and higher-level
  HROBs and HROCs, while receiving sustainment and execution guidance from the SPO section and the
  commander.
  HR PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS BY ECHELON FOR
  OPERATIONS TO SHAPE
  7-11. In general, planning considerations include a known or anticipated support requirement, a known or
  anticipated problem, a readiness issue, a capability shortfall, a threat, or an aspect of operational or mission
  variables influencing HR support. Human resources staff officers at every command level, starting with the
  battalion S-1, perform HR planning. Human resources planning is also conducted by the HROB within the
  ESC DMC and sustainment brigade SPO, the HR company, theater CIC, and all divisions within the TPOC.
  Human resources planning is a continual process that supports a commander’s ability to exercise command
  and control. Human resources planning requires an understanding of how to deliver HR support in the
  operational environment during LSCO. The following paragraphs, listed from strategic to tactical level,
  include HR planning considerations by echelon for operations to shape to support LSCO.
  HQDA G-1
  7-12. Human resources planning considerations for the HQDA G-1 during operations to shape may include,
  but are not limited to—
  * HR support to replacement operations:
   Synchronize with Army staff elements to optimize force-wide personnel readiness to serve
  the needs of the Army.
   Coordinate with HQDA DCS G-3/5/7 to determine manning levels and turbulence thresholds
  for units within the operational force, operational depth, and generating force to include the
  institutional Army.
   Provide integration and synchronization to identify/provide filler/personnel replacement
  requirements for each OPLAN (ASCC responsible).
  * HR support to casualty operations: Develop casualty reporting policy contingencies that go into
  effect in the event casualty reporting requirements exceed capacity.
