  established by the Army (HQDA) G-3/5/7, which identifies target fill levels. See AR 525-29, Force
  Generation – Sustainable Readiness for more information on the sustainable readiness model.
  3-5. The G-1/AG and S-1 manage unit personnel readiness, and recommends changes to the priority of
  replacements. The decision to change the priority of replacement fills is made by the commander after
  receiving a recommendation by the staff.
  3-6. Personnel readiness managers continuously collect, correlate, and analyze critical personnel strength
  information to develop a vision of future requirements. Personnel readiness managers must ensure the staff
  is integrated and ensure the G-1/AG participates in planning and is integrated into current operations to
  provide an assessment of future personnel requirements. From this assessment, personnel readiness managers
  maintain a running estimate and make recommendations to commanders during the MDMP. Critical MOS
  shortages or large numbers of non-deployable Soldiers, for example, are not easily overcome once a unit is
  alerted for deployment. Battalion and brigade S-1s are the key to success in the PRM process. The battalion
  is the first level of command responsible for updating duty status changes or non-deployability data in the
  appropriate HR system of record. Unforecasted losses, such as those resulting from administrative, legal, or
  medical issues, can significantly impact unit readiness. If losses cannot be mitigated by initiating appropriate
  measures, such as cross-leveling personnel from the installation/unit or reorganizing unit personnel, then
  elevation of the issue to the next higher command is appropriate.
  PERSONNEL READINESS MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
  3-7. The paragraphs below outline the PRM responsibilities at various echelons of command.
  ASCC G-1/AG
  3-8. During the planning phase of operations, the ASCC G-1/AG identifies unit and personnel
  requirements, to include deployed CAAF and DOD and DA Civilian personnel. The ASCC G-1/AG is
  responsible for a casualty estimate and replacement plan as part of the deliberate planning process. The
  peacetime replacement system requires the ASCC commander to submit personnel requisitions to include
  civilians in advance of requirements. At OPLAN execution, the system delivers replacements to the theater
  to bring units to required strength and ensure replacements are available as casualties occur. The requisitions
  reflect the number of Soldiers by MOS/area of concentration and grade needed to bring theater units to
  required strength and to replace the number of expected casualties (killed-in-action, wounded-in-action,
  missing-in-action, non-battle injuries) by MOS/area of concentration/rank and by time window. Casualty
  estimates are produced by the Medical Planners’ Toolkit (MPTk), which is the Army’s only authorized
  casualty estimation program for echelons above brigade. To support this effort, ASCC G-1/AG, assistant
  chief of staff, intelligence, G-3, G-4, and G-5 planners, at a minimum, develop the casualty estimate, and in
  coordination with the G-3, work with HQDA to determine the ratio of individuals versus unit replacements.
  Individual replacement requirements are submitted to the HRC, which maintains a copy of the ASCC’s
  individual replacement requirements for each concept plan/OPLAN. The HRC maintenance of the ASCC
  individual replacement requirements includes a review for consistency with HQDA manning guidance, MOS,
  and area of concentration structure changes. The ASCC G-1/AG PRM responsibilities include—
  * Develop theater PRM plans, policies, milestones, and priorities, synchronized with operational
  objectives included in OPLANs and OPORDs.
  * Advise the commander on theater PRM.
  * Obtain, monitor, and assess the PRM (strength reports, projected gains, estimated losses, and
  projected numbers of personnel returning to duty) of theater units via DTAS and various HR
  systems feeding from the Total Army Personnel Database (TAPDB) information.
  * Determine personnel requirements and recommend priorities by skill and rank.
  * Provide approved NRP replacement priorities to the TPOC.
  * Direct intra-theater reassignments to meet urgent operational requirements.
  * Obtain RTD data from the surgeon cell or theater CIC and incorporate into the NRP distribution
  plan.
  * Prepare the casualty estimate in coordination with the surgeon using MPTk; provide the casualty
  estimate to the G-3.
