  Phase III – Clear the Market
  4-48. This phase begins with the conclusion of the market and ends with officers receiving their request for
  orders. Commanders will ensure that officers inbound to their unit are sponsored IAW Army regulations.
  The brigade S-1 confirms incoming officer data and provides the unit commander with the data before the
  officer’s arrival. Officer and unit preferences will be the primary factors to determine assignment matches.
  Professional development and senior leader guidance are secondary assignment considerations.
  Note: While the current marketplace processes only apply to Active Duty officer and warrant
  officer cohorts, the Army is engaged along multiple lines of effort among all cohorts to create a
  modern talent management program. Many of the new policies around promotions, evaluations,
  and accessions are designed to attract, develop, and retain talent.
  HR DIVISION OF LABOR
  4-49. Human resources organizations, such as the installation Directorate of HR, are important partners in
  the overall HR support plan for units and organizations. The installation Directorate of HR provides HR
  support to all table of distribution and allowances units and table of organization and equipment units,
  battalion and below, that are geographically separated from their brigade. This partnership requires planning
  and preparation to ensure uninterrupted HR support to units and Soldiers whether they are deployed or at
  home station. Army National Guard Joint Forces Headquarters and USAR geographic commands
  respectively perform similar functions in the military personnel division for the ARNG and Reserve in
  non-deployed environments. To determine where organizational level HR support is conducted, leaders
  should use the following guidance:
  * Tasks performed by table of organization and equipment units while in garrison and deployed are
  performed by S-1 sections at brigade and battalion-levels (for example, awards and decorations,
  issuance of CACs and ID tags, promotions and advancements, and PASR). The installation
  Directorate of HR may provide selected support to non-deployed table of organization and
  equipment units geographically separated from their battalion or brigade S-1. This support may
  include issuance of CACs and promotions.
  Note: The IMCOM will not have a role in promotions once IPPS-A is live in December 2021.
  Home station units will have visibility of Soldiers across installations and will be able to generate
  reports and perform transactions associated with promotions.
  * Tasks performed while in garrison only are performed by the installation directorate of HR (for
  example, retirement processing, mobilization and demobilization, Transfer and Discharge
  Program, Army Career and Alumni Program, and centralized in- and out-processing). Army
  National Guard Joint Forces Headquarters and USAR sustainment commands perform similar
  functions in the military personnel division for the ARNG and Reserve in their garrison
  environments.
  * Tasks performed while deployed only are performed by HR organizations (for example, postal
  and wartime casualty operations).
  REAR DETACHMENT HR RESPONSIBILITIES
  4-50. An important unit function during deployment is rear detachment operations. The rear detachment
  assumes the daily workload of the deployed unit and provides home station support for the unit. The rear
  detachment leadership maintains regular contact with the deployed unit and is responsible for the
  administrative operations of the rear detachment, including maintaining command and control, accounting
  for unit property and equipment, and managing personnel. Regardless of availability of HR professionals in
  the rear detachment, the rear detachment leadership is required to maintain these responsibilities IAW Army
  policy.
