  units executing missions in the close and deep areas (battalions and brigades) of the theater of operations.

  support to operations.

  THREATS TO HR SUPPORT
  1-42. During LSCO, all friendly forces, including those providing HR support, should assume constant
  intrusion and observation efforts from the enemy in the cyberspace domain and information environment.
  Emerging threat weapons technologies place mission command systems at direct risk of disruption.
  Advanced informatics, data mining, and artificial intelligence enable threats to attack U. S. and coalition
  systems across domains. The enemy denies, degrades, and disrupts friendly communications networks as a
  central part of their operational concept. Human resources professionals should anticipate increased demand
  for readily available, dependable, accurate, and legitimate information to support sustainment operations.
  Enterprise resource planning systems such as current HR systems and the Integrated Personnel and Pay
  System-Army (IPPS-A), necessitate a stable, reliable communications and digital information infrastructure
  that may not be present in LSCO. Training and routine practice on analog and manual systems and processes
  in a disconnected environment is essential to mitigate this risk. Human resources professionals should
  routinely incorporate purposeful training events to practice these techniques and develop others to ensure
  that, in the absence or degradation of HR systems and other technology, they can remain combat effective to
  accomplish assigned missions.
  1-43. Human resources systems are essential in accomplishing Army-wide PIM execution during LSCO.
  Human resources professionals rely heavily on HR systems to provide commanders accurate reports and
  information for mission accomplishment. The inability to collect, process, and disseminate relevant HR
  information about units and personnel in a timely manner can seriously impede operations (or the
  commander’s mission). Human resources operations must be prepared to sustain the ability to support forces
  in degraded operations. Human resources leaders and planners should plan and train for the impacts of
  physical attacks, cyber-attacks, degradation, denial of service and displacement operations on their ability to
