  effectively maintaining tempo and enabling the transition from armed conflict to renewed competition, one
  of the key tasks of sustainment in the operations to consolidate gains strategic role. Key HR activities to
  operations to consolidate gains include––
  * Maintain personnel asset visibility.
  * Conduct transition planning.
  * Coordinate redeployment.
  * Continue reorganization operations.
  * Conduct postal operations.
  7-77. During operations to consolidate gains, deployed forces conduct activities to set conditions for a stable
  environment. Forces remain arrayed similarly in the supporting areas as the previous role with theater
  supporting forces in the joint security area. Human resources elements continue focusing on reorganization
  and transition planning to support area security operations, primary stability tasks, and follow-on operations.
  Key HR tasks remain personnel asset visibility, casualty reporting/status updates, and postal operations.
  Some units may remain in contact with the enemy while others initiate the operations to consolidate gains
  role. Human resources elements consolidate gains throughout all strategic roles. However, following the
  tempo of LSCO and the volume of personnel movement on the battlefield (casualties and replacements), HR
  elements will focus on providing personnel readiness management and reporting for units still in contact,
  redeployment operations, and supporting closing the theater. Human resources elements resume postal flow
  (if restricted or limited) and initiate the process to discontinue overall mail flow into theater to support
  redeployment operations.
  7-78. The field army is primarily responsible for orchestrating operations to consolidate gains while there is
  still a significant threat of violence. The G-1/AG must provide commanders enough information enabling
  them to plan, set, and continually adjust the conditions for a more favorable return to competition and a new
  normal mainly in planning, requesting, coordinating, and allocating the required resources, and prioritizing
  efforts across the entire AO.
  7-79. The ASCC G-1/AG anticipates and requests additional combat force replacements and coordinates the
  mechanisms required to move those capabilities into and out of theater and regenerate forces. During the
  final phases of consolidating gains, the G-1/AG plans and coordinates the redeployment of Army forces, and
  revises its long-term security cooperation plan for the new post-conflict security environment.
  7-80. In corps support areas, G-1/AGs continue to support commanders in shaping the environment. The
  corps assumes responsibility for operations to consolidate gains across the battlespace as the level of violence
  subsides and the number of committed friendly forces in the battlespace lessens to a corps or less. The
  G-1/AG continues supporting commanders with direct involvement in conducting the deliberate planning
  and preparation to consolidate gains following the tactical success of its subordinate divisions. The corps is
  responsible for overall planning, preparation, execution, and assessment to allow divisions and their brigade
  combat teams to remain focused on retaining the initiative and maneuvering without loss of momentum. The
  corps continually reorganizes its AO as appropriate to best facilitate rapid consolidation of gains and cannot
  do this without accurate and timely personnel information (for example, personnel strength, replacement
  personnel, and casualties).
  7-81. In division support areas, G-1s continue to support commanders in shaping the environment. As part
  of its singular focus on winning the close fight, the division concentrates first on consolidation versus
  consolidating gains following tactical success. The division can organize a consolidation area and plan and
  conduct longer-term stability tasks as a second priority when directed and provided more forces and other
  appropriate resources. The corps may task a follow-and-support division to command and control the corps’
  consolidation area as it grows during the campaign.
  7-82. In brigade support areas, S-1s continue performing deployment and RSOI HR core competency tasks,
  with priority on unit reorganization/regeneration and/or redeployment back to home station. Brigade S-1s
  maintain sufficient HR capability to accomplish redeployment tasks. At the tactical brigade-level the
  emphasis is on identifying personnel who may redeploy individually, preparing unit personnel for
  redeployment and redeployment tasks, and EPS actions.
