text: HR Support and HR Planning Considerations during the Army Strategic Roles
   Prepare for unit relief in place, if applicable.
   Understand how terrain and distance may have limited/degraded communication during
  LSCO (defensive/offensive) and forced utilization of retransmit stations. This is important for
  Combat Service Support Automated Information Systems Interface/Very Small Aperture
  Terminal operations.
   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 provide timely and accurate information to the commander’s COP.
  Implications associated with LSCO will hinder timely and accurate submission of PERSTAT
  reports, which will limit responsiveness to the supported units.
  TPOC
  7-106. Human resources planning considerations for the TPOC during operations to consolidate gains may
  include, but are not limited to––
  * PASR – TPOC, Personnel Accountability and Systems Division:
   Continue maintenance of the theater database.
   Continue coordination with CONUS APOD, CRCs, and Air Force planners to maintain
  projected personnel flow rates.
   Execute manual PASR during degraded and disconnected operations.
   Continue monitoring of error reconciliation and deviations in strength between HR systems.
   Continue using DTAS to track all theater and rotational unit personnel; continue operating
  the DTAS Help Desk and provide training to theater and rotational units enabling G-1/AG
  and S-1s.
   Continue coordination with the ASCC G-1/AG to modify PASR policies and priorities.
   Conduct staff assistance visits to APODs and personnel accounting elements.
   Plan for the shutdown or continuation of theater DTAS hierarchy.
   Coordinate with the TSC DMC for redeployment plans.
  * HR support to replacement operations:
   Continue assisting the ASCC G-1/AG and the HRC in the refinement of replacement plans.
   Adjust personnel accounting element locations in theater based on rules of allocation.
   Coordinate logistics and communication support.
  * Postal operations – TPOC, POD:
   Continue providing operational postal support and battle track all theater mail operations,
  conducting theater APO compliance inspections and services all registered mail and customs
  clearance.
   Restart mail flow if restricted during LSCO (defensive/offensive); retrograde postal
  operations.
   Monitor processing/handling procedures for casualty mail (mass casualties).
   Maintain close coordination and postal planning with the MPSA, the servicing JMPA, and
  corps/division planners.
   Coordinate and synchronize with the ESC or sustainment brigade HROB on redeployment
  schedules and closing of APOs and the MMT, if required.
  * Other HR considerations: Anticipate effects on HR systems – Any cyber threat or attacks on
  automation and communication systems will degrade split-based operations and limit
  responsiveness to support supported units. Contingency for degraded HR systems is the use of
  manual data entry/delivery.
