  * Postal operations:
   Continue management of postal operations within the theater G-1/AG AO.
   Restart mail flow if restricted during LSCO (defensive/offensive); retrograde postal
  operations.
   Consider/authorize placement of the MPO in the corps consolidation area due to mobility of
  division HQ.
   Consider adjusting roles and responsibilities by echelon depending on operational
  environment.
   Process casualty mail (mass casualties).
   Maintain liaison with the SPM, TSC/ESC, TPOC, and host-nation for postal functions.
   Process requests to the SPM for APO activations and deactivations.
   Assist the TSC/ESC, TPOC, and MMT in obtaining postal resources to support the theater
  postal mission.
   Monitor postal irregularities and postal offenses reported by the TPOC.
   Ensure the TSC/ESC, TPOC, and MMT have systems in place to identify deficiencies in the
  postal operating system and takes appropriate actions to correct deficiencies.
   Monitor, in coordination with the TSC/ESC, TPOC, and MMT, procedures for addressing
  customer complaints, inquiries, suggestions, and for the expeditious return of casualty mail.
   Address or forward to the SPM all theater postal issues not resolved by the TSC/ESC, TPOC,
  or MMT.
   Manage the redeployment of postal operations and closing of APOs.
   Participate with TPOC and ESC HROB in preparation of a redeployment postal support plan.
  * HR support to casualty operations:
   Monitor casualty OPLAN and policies for theater.
   Provide oversight for theater casualty operations.
   Anticipate changes to location of casualty liaison elements; identify additional locations
  requiring casualty liaison support. Locations are in addition to the normal General
  Officer-level HQ, G-1/AGs, Role 3 MTF, and mortuary affairs collection points.
   Establish casualty reporting authorities for submission of casualty reports (based on guidance
  and agreements from the JTF, joint forces land component command, and coalition forces
  land component command).
   Establish guidance for the authority to delegate to the corps the approval and release of
  casualty reporting directly to CMAOD – important under LSCO.
   Implement plan for DCIPS/casualty reporting requirements and time restraint adjustments in
  preparation for increased volume (mass casualties) or when degraded and disconnected
  operations occur.
   Implement plan for possible increased workload of the theater CIC (mass casualties).
   Monitor LOD investigations.
  * Other HR considerations:
   Anticipate cyber threats/attacks. Cyber threats or attacks on automation and communications
  systems will deny, degrade, and disrupt PASR and the casualty tracking and reporting flow.
  Only contingency for degraded HR systems is the use of manual data entry/delivery.
   Refine SOPs to determine type and frequency of data in the event of information systems
  black out. Manual use of logging actions will be the only alternative for HR systems.
   Plan for the inability to feed the commander’s COP with appropriate information. Timeliness
  and accuracy of PERSTAT reports will likely be degraded during LSCO, which limits
  responsiveness to supported units.
