   Provide and forecast future HR platoons to operate the TG PAT and other intra-theater APOD
  personnel accounting points.
  * Postal operations:
   Augment MMT and postal platoons with additional personnel to support distributing prograde
  mail.
   Assist as a liaison for logistical and transportation support between postal elements and the
  battalion and brigade S-4 and SPO.
   Coordinate with area commanders for APOs and satellite APOs and continued support of
  mobile mail teams.
   Anticipate increased volume of casualties during LSCO (defensive/offensive) which
  increases requirements to hold mail until casualty notification takes place. Anticipate longer
  casualty reporting and notification times (due to sheer volume), which in turn affects storage
  capacity and distribution for large volumes of mail.
   Anticipate possible postal platoon shortages based on division size element (assigned
  population).
  * HR support to casualty operations:
   Prioritize and rotate casualty liaison elements based on operational tempo and proximity to
  troop engagement.
   Anticipate possible increased requirements for casualty liaison and grave registration sites
  beyond rules of allocation due to high number of casualties and temporary interment sites.
   Anticipate increased numbers of casualties as corps and division forces advance. Casualty
  liaison teams must coordinate with Role 3 MTFs to ensure accurate tracking and PASR.
   Execute manual casualty tracking and reporting during degraded and disconnected operations
  (casualty liaison elements).
   Reestablish appropriate HR systems access for casualty elements through the authorized HR
  systems access manager if needed.
  * Other HR considerations:
   Anticipate effects on HR systems. Any cyber threat or attacks on automation and
  communication systems during LSCO (defensive/offensive) will degrade split based
  operations and limits responsiveness to support supported units. Contingency for degraded
  HR systems is the use of manual data entry/delivery.
   Monitor and retrain, if needed, HR and postal elements on procedures for manual reporting
  during degraded and disconnected for follow-on operations.
   Monitor rules of allocation and coordinate with HROB and TPOC for potential additional
  SRC 12 augmentation.
   Refine tracking metrics for all HR elements assigned.
   Advise HROBs on location and workload of personnel accounting, casualty liaison, and postal
  elements. Additionally, advise HROBs on follow-on assignment or redeployment of
  personnel accounting, casualty liaison, and postal elements.
   Disseminate mission changes from the HROB and TPOC to subordinate HR and postal
  elements.
   Assist as a liaison for signal support between HR and postal elements and the battalion or
  brigade S-6.
   Plan for loss of HR platoons if attacked. Possible use of RC forces or OCS to replace HR
  platoons.
