  prevent may include, but are not limited to––
  * PASR:
   Continue training on procedures for manual PASR in preparation for degraded/disconnected
  operations.
   Maintain communication with command nodes.

   Maintain and assess Soldier and unit readiness.
   Coordinate with the S-3 and S-4 during replacement operations.
  * Postal operations:
   Continue training on procedures for handling casualty mail (mass casualties).
   Designate unit mail clerks and postal officers.
   Reevaluate postal capabilities considering current and future operations.

  to monitor reporting and transportation of remains.
  * Other HR considerations:

  operations.
