  times (due to sheer volume), which in turn affects storage capacity and distribution for large
  volumes of mail.
  * HR support to casualty operations:
   Prioritize and rotate casualty liaison elements based on operational tempo and proximity to
  troop engagement.
   Plan for possible increased requirements for casualty liaison and grave registration sites
  beyond rules of allocation due to high number of casualties and temporary interment sites.
   Anticipate increased numbers of casualties as corps and division forces advance. Casualty
  liaison elements must coordinate with Role 3 MTFs to ensure accurate tracking and PASR.
   Plan for casualty liaison elements to execute manual casualty tracking and reporting during
  degraded and disconnected operations.
   Reestablish appropriate HR systems access for HR squads providing support to casualty
  operations through the authorized HR systems access manager if needed.
  * Other HR considerations:
   Monitor rules of allocation and coordinate with HROB and TPOC for potential additional
  SRC 12 augmentation.
   Refine tracking metrics for all HR elements assigned.
   Advise HROBs on location and workload of HR elements conducting personnel accounting,
  casualty liaison, and postal missions.
   Disseminate mission changes from the HROB and TPOC to subordinate HR and postal
  elements.
   Assist as a liaison for signal support between HR and postal elements and the battalion or
  brigade S-6.
   Plan for loss of HR platoons if attacked. Possible use of RC forces or OCS to replace HR
  platoons.
  OVERVIEW OF HR SUPPORT TO OPERATIONS TO CONSOLIDATE
  GAINS
  7-72. During operations to consolidate gains, the operational environment remains a complex extended
  battlefield. Remnant peer adversary forces may pose a threat, but U.S. forces may face hybrid threats from
  insurgent forces and criminal organizations. Units may initially conduct only minimal stability tasks while
  the focus remains on security. A transition to stability-focused operations will occur as security improves.
  7-73. Successful operations to consolidate gains employ a combination of offensive, defensive, and stability
  tasks as well as the entirety of the elements of national power to achieve success. We must assume that enemy
  forces will employ all remaining available capabilities to protract the conflict, even as organized enemy
  resistance declines. To defeat these efforts, commanders consider both the purpose of an operation and the
  capacity for the enemy to resist. Success depends on the commander’s ability to exploit tactical success by
  establishing security and stability in a manner sufficiently decisive to achieve national strategic aims.
  7-74. Sustainment priorities continue to focus on support to maneuver forces. However, as the area becomes
  more secure, priorities may shift to humanitarian assistance (such as providing food, water, shelter, and
  medical support), engineering (restoration of essential services), and security force assistance activities.
  Sustainment organizations consider these shifts during initial stages of operational planning to execute
  support in a timely and effective manner.
  7-75. Sustainment of consolidation of gains may involve the provision of essential government services,
  emergency infrastructure reconstruction, and humanitarian relief for the local population. Typically, it
  involves support for both U.S. forces and other unified action partners. Forces conducting operations to
  consolidate gains may require the full complement of sustainment capabilities, especially if those operations
  are prolonged.
  7-76. Key HR activities during operations to consolidate gains aim to enhance sustainment capabilities that
  directly support the geographic combatant commander’s theater campaign plan. The plan feeds into
