  4-103. The band commander (42C or 420C) is the senior staff advisor to the G-1/AG on band operations.
  Scheduling band support is completed by the G-1/AG through the G-3 in coordination with the band
  commander. For command and control purposes, Army bands are attached to the headquarters and
  headquarters battalion/TSC STB at theater, corps, or division-level for administrative and life support
  purposes. Refer to ATP 1-19 for specific duties and responsibilities of Army bands.
  SECTION IV – MORALE, WELFARE, AND RECREATION OPERATIONS
  4-104. Morale, welfare, and recreation programs are activities supporting and improving the morale and
  well-being of the deployed force. These include activities sponsored by the IMCOM G-9 Family and MWR
  Programs Division, other agencies, and commands at all levels. The terminology used in this publication is
  not synonymous with official family and MWR programs sponsored by the Army, but may include such
  programs.
  4-105. Morale, welfare, and recreation support is mission essential to combat readiness. Morale, welfare,
  and recreation programs enhance the quality of life for deployed Soldiers, DOD and DA Civilians, and CAAF
  forces and address the strategic imperatives of the joint expeditionary Army.
  4-106. Commanders at all levels are responsible for ensuring MWR support programs are available. They
  are responsible for determining different levels of required support based on the mission, anticipated duration
  of deployment, theater environmental conditions, and higher command requirements. Morale, welfare, and
  recreation support is METT-TC driven, and commanders must be able to revise plans, programming, and
  support levels quickly to adapt to changing situations and requirements. Support programs may include
  activities such as––
  * Sports activities.
  * Libraries.
  * Clubs.
  * Entertainment.
  * Army and Air Force Exchange System support.
  * Fitness and recreation.
  * American Red Cross support.
  * Internet facilities.
  * Health and comfort packs.
  * Other activities that support the well-being of the deployed force.
  4-107. Morale, welfare, and recreation support includes a wide variety of services. Only minimum MWR
  services are provided during the initial deployment and early sustainment phase of military operations.
  Minimum services include brigade sports equipment, health and comfort packs, ARC, and limited AAFES.
  4-108. The combatant commander, through the J-1/G-1 and J-4/G-4, determines MWR needs and
  requirements based on operational tempo and available MWR resources. While the J-1/G-1 is the primary
  staff office responsible for MWR, the J-4/G-4 is responsible for the execution of MWR logistics support
  requirements. Depending on AO stability and actions, the commander may use alternative sources such as
  the Logistics Civilian Augmentation Program or other contracted personnel.
  4-109. The availability of personnel and facilities provided by the MWR network depends on the combatant
  commander’s command policies and the operational and tactical situation. Planners at all levels ensure
  operational plans include requirements for fitness and recreation, AAFES support, and community support
  functions such as ARC.
  4-110. The G-1/AG and S-1 staffs at battalion-level and above must know the full range of MWR services
  and programs and incorporate them into OPLANS and OPORDs. They must also be knowledgeable of key
  staff players who support the execution of MWR programs. For example, the battalion or brigade S-4 is
  responsible for coordination and execution of logistics support for MWR services and programs. These
