  * Provide personnel information for developing essential elements of friendly information.
  * Provide personnel information data required in the execution of the sustainment warfighting
  function.
  ORGANIZATION RESPONSIBILITIES
  3-122. Several agencies have critical responsibilities in managing the personnel information flow and
  maintenance. The personnel information network includes all units and Soldiers in the force. They usually
  fall into two categories: managers and users.
  3-123. The management group consists of reporting units and database managers. Battalions and separate
  units are responsible for providing personnel information to support all HR core competencies and
  subordinate key functions. They record gains, losses, and other strength-related transactions in their
  electronic systems to inform higher echelons.
  3-124. The user group includes personnel readiness, casualty, and postal personnel. Personnel readiness
  managers use the data to assess unit readiness and support allocation decisions. Casualty personnel use it for
  basic personnel information and casualty reporting verification. Postal leaders use it for the postal locator
  information and to manage the casualty mail system. The paragraphs below explain the roles and
  responsibilities of the various individuals and units in the PIM process.
  SOLDIERS AND DOD/DA CIVILIANS
  3-125. Soldiers and DOD and DA Civilians have a responsibility to enter PIM self-service items and other
  essential personnel data promptly into the appropriate database when changes occur.
  COMMANDERS
  3-126. Commanders at all levels are responsible for taking pro-active actions to protect and defend PIM
  data and documents, and ensuring actions requiring their attention or processing are conducted in a timely
  and accurate manner. Commanders are responsible for including inspection and oversight strategies to ensure
  any of their decisions or their staff’s actions result in timely submission in the respective PIM system. Special
  commander emphasis is given to disciplinary actions, readiness status, and commitment to the government
  or change in commitment to the government by the individual or vice versa. Commanders must ensure
  protection of documents and data pertaining to enlistment, appointment, duty stations, assignments, training,
  qualifications, performance, awards, medals, disciplinary actions, insurance, emergency data, separation,
  retirement, casualty, administrative remarks and any other personnel actions covered in AR 600-8-104.
  ASCC G-1/AG
  3-127. The ASCC G-1/AG is responsible for all PIM policies in their operational area. Specific PIM
  responsibilities include—
  * Manage PASR using the appropriate HR system of record.
  * Establish and manage policies and procedures that affect PIM for subordinate units and the theater.
  * Publish implementing instructions for personnel policies and programs for supported units.
  * Establish, operate, and maintain ASCC deployed theater personnel database (through the TPOC
  and TG PAT).
  CORPS G-1/AG AND DIVISION G-1
  3-128. The corps G-1/AG and division G-1 indirectly manages and monitors PIM for all assigned units.
  Corps G-1/AGs and division G-1s exercise these responsibilities primarily in their role of coordinating EPS
  and managing the casualty reporting system for the corps and division. Personnel information managers at
  corps and division should anticipate the inclusion of joint and multinational personnel as an implied PIM
  mission during LSCO. During stability and defense support of civil authorities, as security partnerships form
  and transfer of security responsibilities occur, G-1/AGs may assist host-nation security forces with the
