  PERSONNEL ACCOUNTING AND STRENGTH REPORTING
  7-88. Throughout the redeployment process, the most critical of all HR functions is PASR. Personnel
  accounting and strength reporting includes all personnel listed in the theater database and includes Soldiers,
  joint, and multinational personnel, DOD and DA Civilians, and CAAF.
  7-89. The following organizations have responsibilities for the redeployment of personnel:
  * ASCC G-1/AG – Develops the theater-level plan in coordination with the TPOC and the ESC
  HROB. The redeployment plan includes unit and command responsibilities; processing
  procedures for joint, DOD and DA Civilians, and CAAF; and specific procedures for processing
  for demobilizing RC Soldiers.
  * TPOC – Establishes and maintains the theater database; coordinates with the ESC HROB to
  identify points of departures; determines how to provide HR support during the drawdown;
  identifies HR units and planned redeployment schedules; and if necessary, develops a plan to
  sustain any residual force for post conflict activities.
  * ESC and sustainment brigade HROBs – Develops a redeployment schedule for redeploying HR
  units while simultaneously maintaining PASR, and ensures HR units redeploying late in the plan
  have the necessary communications and logistics support.
  * HR company – Provides HR unit redeploying recommendations to the HROB; personnel
  accounting coverage at designated points of departure; CAC support at departure points; and
  considers use of HR elements previously conducting casualty liaison as augmentation to personnel
  accounting elements or the plans and operations section.
  7-90. Generally, most unit personnel redeploy with their unit. However, some unit personnel redeploy before
  the unit. These personnel can be unit advance parties, individual augmentees, or other personnel who deploy
  separately from their units. Unit S-1s have a responsibility to maintain accountability of personnel
  redeploying with the unit. They also have the responsibility to manifest their personnel and to provide the
  personnel accounting elements at theater exit point a list of their manifested personnel. The personnel
  accounting elements then have the responsibility to inactivate personnel from the theater database who have
  departed from the theater of operations. The personnel accounting elements perform the same responsibilities
  for redeploying personnel as they do for theater opening and sustainment operations.
  HR SUPPORT TO CASUALTY OPERATIONS
  7-91. Depending on the operational environment, casualties may continue to occur during operations to
  consolidate gains. Individuals may also be killed or injured due to non-battle injuries. As such, the capability
  to provide HR support to casualty operations during the redeployment of personnel and units must be
  maintained. This includes the operation of the theater CIC. Casualty operations are one of the last theater HR
  functions to close.
  7-92. Once the decision is made to close the theater CIC, the synchronization and coordination to transfer
  the casualty function is made with CMAOD to ensure casualty-reporting responsibilities are appropriately
  handed off to another designated theater CIC or casualty element.
  CLOSING POSTAL OPERATIONS
  7-93. When closing postal operations, the redeployment of postal units in theater requires more detailed
  planning than PASR and HR support to casualty operations. Redeployment planning involves not only
  theater-wide postal units, but also supporting HROBs, ESC, TPOC, and the ASCC G-1/AG. It also involves
  coordination and synchronization with external agencies (for example, MPSA and JMPA). Redeployment of
  postal elements and closing of APOs is synchronized with the redeployment schedule for units supported by
  the APO or postal element.
  7-94. It is critical that HR planners at all levels be involved early in the redeployment planning process. At
  a minimum, closing or relocating an APO requires 90 days advance notification. If possible, notifications
  should be at least 120 days before closing the APO. This notification is needed to––
  * Ensure appropriate notifications are submitted to JMPA and MPSA and approved.
