  * Assist personnel recovery staff officers and noncommissioned officers in subordinate command
  echelons in the development of personnel recovery programs.
  * Ensure that intelligence reports, running estimates, and products support personnel recovery
  planning, training, and execution are available in a timely manner to subordinate units.
  * Support higher headquarters and Service reintegration plans by writing plans and identifying
  reintegration team key personnel.
  2-35. Situations often dictate the responsibilities at each echelon of command. Commanders at lower or
  higher echelons may need to undertake missions with responsibilities different from those they are
  normally assigned. While functional commands do not have dedicated PRCSs on their table of organization
  and equipment, they are expected to perform the personnel recovery duties listed paragraphs 2-36 and 2-37.
  Tasks by Battalion and Brigade
  2-36. Commanders at battalion and brigade levels frequently exercise their protection authority by
  assigning personnel recovery responsibilities to a specific staff officer or noncommissioned officer, usually
  in the operations staff section. In the role of advisor to the commander—as the POC for personnel recovery
  activities and staff coordinator—the personnel recovery officer is accountable for the following common
  personnel recovery responsibilities and tasks:
  * Include personnel recovery responsibilities in unit execution documents.
  * Establish personnel recovery staff capabilities and assign primary responsibilities in the
  command post as the focal point for the commander and staff.
  * Establish isolated person reporting requirements in the brigade and subordinate information
  management systems.
  * Recommend task organization and mission assignment to subordinate elements.
  * Advise the commander on steps to ready subordinate units for personnel recovery missions.
  * Synchronize and integrate all required assets for personnel recovery activities.
  * Assist subordinate staffs and commanders in the development of their specific echelon’s
  personnel recovery system.
  * Support joint personnel recovery operations, if directed.
  Tasks by Company and Below
  2-37. Commanders and leaders of company, battery, or troop and below have personnel recovery
  responsibilities no less important than the leaders at higher echelons. Small tactical organizations
  (including ad hoc tactical units such as convoy march, serials, trailer transfer points, refuel and
  maintenance points, and reintegration locations) often precede operational formations, placing them at
  increased risk. Small-unit leaders should be keenly aware of the isolation risk associated with their specific
  mission or circumstance and engage in risk management to mitigate that risk accordingly. When an
  isolating event occurs, individuals and small units often have the best opportunity to make a quick
  assessment and react or recover from the isolating situation. Leaders at the company level and below
  complete the following tasks:
  * Develop ISG or evasion plans of action for every member of the unit.
  * Identify shortfalls in personnel recovery capabilities during troop leading procedures.
  * Identify information requirements for potential personnel recovery operations.
  * Evaluate each tactical situation and plan accordingly.
  * Assess the unit’s ability to complete the personnel recovery tasks.
  * Request the support required to address shortfalls in capability.
  RESPONSIBILITIES OF PERSONNEL RECOVERY ORGANIZATIONS
  2-38. At echelons above brigade, the personnel recovery officer serves in two separate but related staff
  elements. First, the officer serves in the joint force headquarters—either a combatant command or
  subordinate joint headquarters such as a joint task force—if it has a JPRC. Second, the officer serves in the
