Casualty Management requires total accuracy and it’s important you know all aspects of casualty operations. Effective casualty management operations ensures the Army meets it obligation to Soldiers and their families. Casualty reporting initiates casualty notification, and personnel accountability and strength report (PA / SR) procedures. PA / SR in turn initiates the flow of replacements to the appropriate unit in a timely manner. As a member of the Army’s HR management team, you may be responsible for managing the casualty reporting system during wartime.

For this block of instruction we will be discuss Casualty Operations which is a key function under the core competency of Provide HR Services. Casualty Operations remains one of the most important S1 responsibilities and one that requires a great deal of accuracy and attention of detail.

Why is Casualty Operations Management So Important?
“There’s no more effective way of creating bitter enemies of the Army than by failing to do everything we can possibly do in a time of bereavement, nor is there a more effective way of making friends for the Army than by showing we are personally interested in every casualty which occurs.” GEORGE C. MARSHALL Army Chief of Staff ( ) General of the Army (1944) SHOW SLIDE: WHY IS CASUALTY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT SO IMPORTANT? Casualty operations is one of the critical HR tasks that must be handled accurately and efficiently. You will need to have extensive knowledge of casualty operations for both garrison and deployed environments. NOTE: Refer students to the quote on the slide from General of the Army George C. Marshall. NOTE: Tell the students that casualty operations has always been a critical part of the Army taking care of its Soldiers and family members. You must take a personal interest in every casualty that occurs in your unit because as the senior HR professional you are responsible for ensuring casualty operations occur in your unit.

Historical Perspective Operation Iraqi Freedom Lesson Learned
Casualty Operations Mission: record, report, verify, and process casualty information from unit level to the Casualty and Mortuary Affairs Operations Center (CMAOC), notify appropriate individuals, and provide casualty assistance to next of kin. FM 1-0, paragraph 4-92 Accuracy Timeliness Accuracy: HR providers must understand their HR systems and that data input at the lowest level has a direct impact on decisions being made by our senior leaders Timeliness: ensures our senior leaders have access to relevant HR information and analysis that support current and future operations Historical Perspective Operation Iraqi Freedom Lesson Learned Observation: In some cases Commanders or Soldiers felt compelled to inform family members in the rear of injuries or deaths involving their loved ones prior to official DA notification. Sometimes the information relayed was incorrect or vague causing unnecessary anxiety to families whose loved ones may not have even been involved in the incident. Chief Personnel Services Directorate 3rd PERSCOM SHOW SLIDE: Casualty Operations Mission (FM 1-0, para 4-92) Learning Step/Activity 1. Define casualty operations policy Method of Instruction: Conference/Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:16 Time of Instruction: 10 mins Casualty operations includes the production, dissemination, coordination, validation and synchronization of casualty reporting, casualty notification, casualty assistance, line-of duty determination, disposition of remains, disposition of personal effects, and military burial honors. Casualty operations consists of three major components: (1) Casualty Reporting - to record, report, verify and process accurate casualty information from unit level to Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA). (2) Casualty Notification - To notify appropriate individuals. (3) Casualty Assistance - To provide assistance to family members or next of kin (NOK). During casualty processing, due to the myriad number of actions that must take place, the timeline from a casualty incident (in cases involving death) until surviving family members receive death benefits and entitlements can take months to complete. The sensitive nature of the Army’s casualty mission requires all echelons across the force to be fully trained on their respective roles during casualty operations. With today’s technology and communication systems available to the force, the historical perspective shown remains a significant challenge for Army leaders during full spectrum casualty operations.

Definitions Casualty Categories Casualty Type Killed in Action (KIA)
Casualty: Any person who is lost to an organization by reason of having been declared beleaguered, captured, deceased, diseased, detained, DUSTWUN, injured, ill, killed, missing, missing in action or wounded. Casualty Categories Killed in Action (KIA) Died of Wounds Received in Action (DWRIA) Wounded in Action (WIA) Casualty Type Hostile Non-hostile Casualty Statuses Deceased Missing Beleaguered Besieged Captured Detained Interned Missing in Action DUSTWUN (Dusty Status Whereabouts Unknown) Very Seriously Ill / Injured (VSI) Seriously Ill or Injured (SI) Incapacitating Illness or Injury Not Seriously Injured (NSI) SHOW SLIDE: Definitions A casualty can be defined as any person who is lost to an organization by reason of having been declared: beleaguered, besieged, captured, deceased, detained, Duty Status - Whereabouts Unknown (DUSTWUN), injured, ill, interned, missing, missing in action or wounded. The following definitions are important in casualty operations management: (1) Casualty Category is a term used to specifically classify a casualty for reporting purposes based upon the casualty type and the casualty status. Casualty categories include killed in action (KIA), died of wounds received in action (DWRIA), and wounded in action (WIA). (a) KIA - a casualty category applicable to a hostile casualty, other than the victim of a terrorist activity, who is killed outright or who dies as a result of wounds or other injuries before reaching a medical treatment facility. (b) DWRIA - a casualty category applicable to a hostile casualty, other than the victim of a terrorist activity, who dies of wounds or other injuries received in action after having reached a medical treatment facility. (c) WIA - a casualty category applicable to a hostile casualty, other than the victim of a terrorist activity, who has incurred an injury due to an external agent or cause. The term encompasses all kinds of wounds and other injuries incurred in action, whether there is a piercing of the body, as in a penetration or perforated wound, or none, as in the contused biological and chemical warfare agents, and the effects of exposure to ionizing radiation or any other destructive weapon or agent. The hostile casualty's status may be Very Seriously Wounded, Injured, or Ill (VSI), Seriously Wounded, Injured, or Ill (SI), or Not Seriously Wounded, Injured, or Ill (NSI). (2) Casualty Type is a term used to identify a casualty for reporting purposes as either a hostile casualty or a non-hostile casualty.

CLTs are formed by the HR platoon to support the theater casualty operations mission. The CLT provides accurate casualty information (reporting and tracking) at MTFs, MA collection points, and higher headquarters G-1/AGs, General Officer commands, and other locations as specified by the HRSC. CLTs facilitate real-time casualty information for commanders. CLTs not only provide accurate casualty information, but they also act as a liaison for each affected commander. The CLT provides updated status reports to the affected unit and informs them if the Soldier is medically evacuated from theater. CLTs rely on the supported organization for daily life support. Each CLT requires the capability to communicate digitally and via voice, secure and non-secure, to theater (HRSC COD), HR platoon headquarters, and G-1/AG and S-1 sections of supported units.

Coordinate SCMO appointment with the command’s servicing judge advocate. Ensure all deploying Soldiers and Family members view the pre-deployment casualty preparedness training videos. Brief Soldiers on the importance of updating wills and give each the opportunity to update DD Form 93, SGLV-8286, Traumatic Servicemembers Group Life Insurance, and Family Servicemembers Group Life Insurance. Include awards scrubs as part of pre-deployment operations; ensure each Soldier reviews and updates their officer or enlisted record brief, with special emphasis on awards during pre-deployment operations. Ensure each Soldier’s current DD Form 93 and SGLV-series forms are posted to the Soldier’s iPERMS record and maintain a copy of DD Form 93 and SGLV-8286 on file for each Soldier assigned or attached at Soldier’s home station and with the deployed unit. Home station will maintain the documents with original signatures. Coordinate with the S-6 to ensure capability to casualty reports to brigade. Provide the Rear Detachment POC information to home station CAC and ensure rear detachment personnel are trained on how to conduct telephonic notification to the NOK of injured/ill Soldiers. Ensure all DCIPS-CR/CF users are fully trained on DCIPS and casualty reporting procedures. Create a list of mature Soldiers to be trained as CNOs and CAOs and coordinate with the home station CAC to ensure the appointed personnel are trained and certified by the supporting center. Contact the Army Mortuary Liaison at the U. S. Air Force Port Mortuary, located in Dover, Delaware, before forwarding unit patches and sets of unit crests. The Army Mortuary Liaison can be reached at (302) , DSN: , or at Train Soldiers on DA Form 1156, Casualty Feeder Card; ensure use of DA Form 1156 as a template for calling in essential information after a casualty incident. Develop a casualty SOP. Casualty SOPs should include DCIPS-CF/CR training (software should be loaded on several computers); procedures for processing posthumous awards, promotions, and combat badges; casualty notification to Families of injured/ill Soldiers when directed by CMAOC; expediting citizenship requests; conducting unit memorial services; processing LOD investigations and determinations; and for processing of theater and home station personal effects, to include appointment and training of SCMOs; and define unit specifics for Military Funeral Honors. NOTE: Discuss the importance of preparing for casualties prior to deployment; the better prepared units are, the smoother the processing will be with less chance for mistakes during a highly emotional time.

Unit Responsibilities (During Deployment)
Review and log casualty feeder reports Forward DA 1156 or submit via DCIPS-CR/CF Update duty status on PERSTAT and databases (eMILPO, DTAS, casualty log, etc.) Monitor patient tracking Continue to verify and update information Be prepared to assist Chaplain with Memorial Ceremony (photo, medals, bio) Process awards and promotions, if applicable Appoint a Summary Court Martial Officer if required Appoint a Line of Duty officer if required Process casualty mail Prepare letter of sympathy or condolence Update commander SHOW SLIDE: Unit Responsibilities (During Deployment) During deployment, unit commanders must: (1) Review and log all casualty feeder reports. (2) Forward DA 1156 or DCIPS-FWD reports. (3) Update duty status on the Personnel Status (PERSTAT) and databases (eMILPO, DTAS, casualty log etc.). NOTE: S-1s should print an ERB/ORB, DD93 and SGLV on KIAs before they are removed from the systems. These Documents provide address for sympathy letters and information on soldiers that may be needed later. (4) Monitor patient tracking. (5) Continue to verify and update casualty information. (6) Be prepared to assist Chaplain with Memorial Ceremony (Photo, medals, bio). (7) Process awards and promotions, if applicable. (8) Appoint a SCMO, if required. (9) Appoint a LOD officer, if required. (10) Process casualty mail. (11) Prepare letters of sympathy or condolence. (12) Keep higher level commanders updated.

Accuracy and Timeliness are essential
Casualty Reporting Accuracy and Timeliness are essential Source of information to the NOK Commander is responsible for initiating the casualty information flow by recording casualties on DA Form 1156 DA Form 1156 verified by Field Grade officer in chain of command Detailed circumstances are key BDEs and separate units submit information to the Theater Casualty Assistance Center via DCIPS-CR/CF Conduct continuous reconciliation Reporting standard: 12 hours from incident to receipt at HRC Must also report U.S. civilians, joint, allied, other unit’s Soldiers Must report suspected friendly fire immediately SHOW SLIDE: Casualty Reporting Casualty reporting is the source of information provided to the NOK concerning a casualty incident. It is of the utmost importance to provide that information accurately, promptly, and in as much detail as possible so that the NOK receive a full accounting of the casualty incident. (1) Commanders will prepare and periodically review, both prior to deployment and thereafter, procedures for casualty reporting and casualty operations to determine how effective and responsive these procedures will be during hostilities. Plans for a casualty reporting system during hostilities must include and provide for– (a) A method of collecting casualty data within the area of operation. The method will include using DA Form 1156 (Casualty Feeder Card), and/or DCIPS-CR/CF, as appropriate (b) A means of verifying the casualty status of a person by comparing casualty information with military or civilian personnel records. (c) A means of verifying the accuracy of all information reported on initial and supplemental casualty feeder reports. (2) Units will record casualties on DA Form 1156 and submit to battalion level without delay or as the battlefield situation permits. (a) Battalion Cdrs are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information submitted on the DA Form As such, battalion-level Cdrs or their field-grade designee will review and approve all initial or supplemental deceased, missing, and DUSTWUN casualty feeder reports with particular focus on the detailed circumstances and, in the case of hostile casualties, on verification of the accuracy of the reported inflicting force. This requirement should in no way impede the submission of timely casualty reports to the Brigade Adjutant (S-1). (b) The S-1 will, upon receipt of a DA Form 1156, ensure accuracy and completeness of the casualty report and forward it to the appropriate level headquarters via DCIPS-FWD without delay or as the battlefield permits. (3) At each level, HR personnel conduct continuous reconciliation of information, verifying and updating information. This reconciliation involves coordinating with the unit, medical personnel, casualty liaison teams, mortuary affairs collection points, or other sources to substantiate the casualty information and to obtain basic information needed in completing and submitting casualty reports. (4) Every level of command will initiate a heads-up phone call to the next higher level, then pass casualty information to the responsible CAC, which will continually reconcile, verify, consolidate, and pass information to the Casualty Operations Division, CMAOC. The reporting standard is 12 hours from the time of the incident to receipt at CMAOC, HRC. (5) Units will report all casualties found on the battlefield (that is, American civilians, personnel of other Services, allied forces, and Soldiers from other units). (6) When the unit suspects that a death may have resulted from possible friendly fire, it will report this possibility immediately to the CAC on an initial (INIT) or supplemental (SUPP) casualty report. NOTE: Stress importance of not communicating information on casualties with rear until official notification of NOK has been confirmed. Discuss potential unit policies to prevent, to include educating soldiers on implications to family, turning off and phone communication and UCMJ.

Casualty Reports Five Types: Initial (INIT) Status Change (STACH)
Supplemental (SUPP) Progress (PROG) Health and Welfare Emphasis on confidentiality and sensitivity of casualty information and DA Form 1156 For Official Use Only (FOUO) until notification of NOK SHOW SLIDE: Casualty Reports Speed and accuracy are the key elements to the entire casualty reporting and tracking process. There are five types of casualty reports. Although Commanders desire to provide as much pertinent information as possible, initial casualty reports only require the completion of 15 data fields and should be forwarded as expeditiously as possible up the chain of command. Supplemental casualty reports can be forwarded as required to provide additional or greater detailed information. (1) Initial (INIT) is the first report submitted for each person involved in a casualty incident, whether hostile or non–hostile, within 12 hours of the incident. (2) Status change (STACH) reports casualty status change from any previously reported major casualty status to another. Examples include WIA to deceased, missing to returned to military control, DUSWUN to any other status. (3) Supplemental (SUPP) reports any change or addition to any previous report immediately upon receipt. Specifically, submit if friendly fire is suspected or whenever an investigation is initiated concerning a fatality. (4) Prognosis or Progress (PROG) Report provides the initial prognosis and medical progress of hospitalized, injured, or ill persons in an NSI, SI, or VSI casualty status in order to keep NOK not at bedside informed of the medical condition of casualties. (NSI at a minimum of every 5 days; SI or VSI every 24 hours until upgraded to NSI; at discharge) (5) Health and Welfare Reports are generated during peacetime at the request of the NOK as a result of a person having been a casualty, but not injured severely enough for the Soldier to have been hospitalized; Hospitalized or medically evacuated; or the subject of a hoax. All personnel must be sensitized to the confidentiality of casualty information. Commanders must ensure the DA Form 1156 is processed only through official channels. Information on a Soldier, DoD/DA civilian, or contractor in a missing status will remain FOUO until the person is returned to military control or a change in status is made by The Adjutant General (TAG) of the Army. Emphasis on confidentiality and sensitivity of casualty information should be part of training on the DA Form 1156 and integrated into formal training programs at all levels. Generally, casualty matters are unclassified, but they are assigned the protective marking of FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO). In cases other than missing status, remove these markings after notification to the NOK. A case concerning a person in a missing status will remain marked FOUO until the person is returned to military control or until his or her status is changed to deceased, or to any other status. NOTE: Remind the students that release of casualty information through the Public Affairs Office (PAO) must also be monitored.

Theater Medical Data Store
Web-based application used to view Soldier’s medical treatment information recorded on the battlefield. Provides: Worldwide accessibility and visibility of Soldier’s deployed medical records Patient movement history and treatment records Search for patients using last name or partial SSN SHOW SLIDE: Theater Medical Data Store NOTE TO INSTRUCTOR: Online training is available at the URL provided on the slide. (Formerly JOINT PATIENT TRACKING ACTIVITY). The TMDS is a critically important application that will assist you in maintaining accountability and tracking your casualties. The main menu of the system is the log in menu and the location of training videos that you can use to train your Soldiers on the application. Access to TMDS is closely controlled due to the sensitivity of much of the information. Users must not give passwords to other personnel, including the HR specialist in the S-1.

Defense Casualty Information Processing System (DCIPS)
DoD system that provides all Services with a single, standard automated support system for: Casualty Reporting Mortuary Affairs Repatriation of personnel or remains Allows management of casualty and next of kin information Provides a journal to chronologically record a case history on each casualty Systems: DCIPS-CM (Case Management) – CMAOC level application DCIPS-CF (Casualty Forward) – Stand alone module DCIPS-CR (Casualty Reporting) – Web-based application SHOW SLIDE: Defense Casualty Information Processing System (DCIPS) DCIPS is used by all services to send casualty reports electronically and at CMAOC level to maintain casualty information, such as information pertaining to line of duty, decedent’s next of kin information, burial, mortuary, and memorial affairs, and information about the disposition of the decedent’s remains. (1) DCIPS-CM (Case Management) - CMAOC Level application to manage the casualty assistance and mortuary affairs process in the aftermath of a casualty. (2) DCIPS-CF (Casualty Forward) - stand alone module subordinate reporting commands use to create casualty reports and transmit them forward through command channels to CMAOC. (3) DCIPS-CR (Casualty Reporting) - Web-based casualty reporting system that will reduce the need for DCIPS-CF while providing reporting units real-time casualty and personnel information online. DCIPS-CF will remain for emerging theaters of operations and where network response is not adequate to support web-based reporting.

Posthumous Awards Expedite the following: Purple Heart Service Awards
Achievement Awards Good Conduct Medal Combat Infantryman Badge Combat Action Badge SHOW SLIDE: Posthumous Awards DA Casualty will look at Soldier records to verify the awards the deceased Soldier has already received. Deceased Soldiers are also frequently recommended for posthumously awarded decorations. DA Casualty will process posthumous Purple Heart Award and service award (BSM) with Awards Branch at HRC. Posthumous awards approved in theater must be quickly processed and reported to HRC in time to be placed on the uniform and in the flag cases and presented to the family at the interment service. Ensure pending awards are reported in DCIPS. Some awards and badges, to include Good Conduct Medals, valor awards, and combat badges, must be initiated by the unit because of the nature of the award. For posthumous valor awards (BSM-V, SS, etc), the approval authority must consider the results of the completed 15-6 investigation. Military Awards Board (MAB) thoroughly reviews the 15-6 to ensure circumstances in the 15-6 support the award. Deceased first-term enlisted Active Component Soldiers, if otherwise qualified, may be awarded the Good Conduct Medal regardless of the time spent on active duty, provided the death occurred in the line of duty. NOTE: Ensure to obtain all supporting documents and when in doubt, call AHRC Awards Branch for clarification

Posthumous Promotions
Centralized Promotion System (SFC-SGM; CW3-CW4, CPT-COL) - DA or State ARNG standing promotion list Semi-centralized Promotion System (SGT-SSG) - Recommended by a local promotion board Decentralized Promotion System Unit-level “recommended” list If waiver allocation was required but not available, commander can request an exception to policy from HRC Posthumous promotions to 1LT/CW2 must have been approved by the proper authority prior to death SHOW SLIDE: Posthumous Promotions When a Soldier is on a standing promotion list and is killed the Soldier can be posthumously promoted. Posthumous promotions are honorary actions that make no difference in pay and benefits. (1) In centralized promotions, a Soldier is eligible for posthumous promotion when he or she is on an approved recommended list at the time of death. (2) In semi-centralized promotions, a Soldier must have been recommended by a local board, prior to death, for promotion to Sergeant or Staff Sergeant. (3) In de-centralized promotions, junior Soldiers must be on a unit-level “recommended” list for promotion at the time of death. If a waiver allocation was required but not available, the commander can request an exception to policy via to authorize a posthumous promotion to the next grade. (4) 2LT and WO1s must have 16 months time in grade and have been recommended for promotion by the proper authority prior to death.

Letters of Sympathy Express Sympathy and advise of circumstances:
Command level: Company, Battalion, Brigade During Contingency Operations, normally first field- grade commander in chain of command sends letter of sympathy Do include: Last rites/memorial services held Do NOT include: Inappropriate compliments Ghastly descriptions Photographs of the tragedy CAC or G-1 will review and mail after notification is complete SHOW SLIDE: Letters of Sympathy Letters of sympathy are designed to extend expressions of sympathy to the PNOK. They are also an instrument that commanders or supervisors may use to advise the PNOK of the factual, detailed circumstances surrounding the person's death or missing status. (1) Normally the individual or commander most knowledgeable of the deceased and the circumstances surrounding the casualty incident prepares the letter of sympathy. The initiator will usually be the individual's supervisor or unit commander. However, during contingency operations it is normally more appropriate for the first field-grade commander in the chain of command to prepare and send the official letter of sympathy. (2) The preparing commander will write letters for deaths occurring in contingency areas within 7 days after the time of the incident but do not date or send the letter until receiving confirmation that the PNOK has been notified. Upon confirmation of notification, they will date and send the letter to the CAC or the deployed G-1, when so directed by the contingency CAC concerned to ensure that all aspects of the letter are proper and correct before sending it to the NOK. (3) Keep letters sincere and in simple language. Show a warm personal interest in the Soldier and the addressee. Extend condolences and describe the circumstances surrounding the Soldier’s death or missing status. (a) Tell the circumstances factually, tactfully, sympathetically, and logically. Besides supplying enough facts to answer the “5 Ws” and any questions that the family would normally ask, give pertinent facts that would in some way comfort the NOK. These facts may include saying the Soldier didn’t suffer, the Soldier received the last rites of his or her faith, and memorial services were held. When appropriate, add information concerning the Soldier’s work and efficiency and his or her adaptation to service life. Avoid unfitting compliments and ghastly descriptions. Don’t state that the Soldier was recommended for awards or promotion and don’t send photographs depicting casualties. The writer may include photographs and a tape recording of the memorial services. (b) In cases of death from hostile action and cases of missing in action, when security restrictions permit, provide facts describing the combat operation or action and other circumstances concerning the Soldier’s status. Include details concerning the date, geographic location, and type of mission and actions taken once the incident occurred. Carefully describe how the incident occurred and, if appropriate, show that medical aid was immediately available. If significant results were obtained, state what the combat action accomplished, and describe the contribution of the Soldier in this and other actions. (4) In addition to the letter of sympathy or letter of condolence responsibilities, unit and field-grade commanders of deceased Soldiers, when practical, will contact the family of the deceased Soldier by telephone (or other electronic means if unable to place a call) within 1 week of the death, to offer their condolences and to relate to the family the full circumstances concerning the incident that resulted in the Soldier’s death, consistent with AR , para 1-18b. When an investigation is still pending, the commander will inform the family of such and contact the family again as soon as the investigation is complete. When relating the circumstances to the family, Commanders will be mindful of operational security. This should not greatly affect the information that the family needs to hear. Content should NOT include: Unfitting compliments and ghastly descriptions, photographs depicting casualties, in missing cases - statements to lose hope, Information that conflicts with previous data statements about posthumous promotion, decoration or award, predominately military terms and abbreviations, or any statements that can be basis for claim.

Letters of Condolence Chain of command wishes to express condolence to NOK Does not describe circumstances of death Reviewed by CAC or G-1 (add your legal advisor to the routing) Mailed 24 hours after Letters of Sympathy Letters of Concern may be sent to NOK of VSI, SI, or NSI Immediate commander of a DA civilian employee AR , Army Casualty Program, Chapter 8 SHOW SLIDE: Letters of Condolence Letters of condolence are intended to convey condolence on a Soldier’s death from a higher level of command. They are not intended to describe the circumstances of that death. Like letters of sympathy, letters of condolence should be written in a compassionate, clear, accurate, and sympathetic style. (1) Appropriate commanders in the chain of command, other than the commander who wrote the letter of sympathy, such as medical facility commanders and chaplains, while not required to prepare letters of condolence, may do so. (2) Commanders who would normally send a letter of sympathy will send a letter of condolence when the NOK– (a) Was present at the time of death and knows the circumstances first hand. (b) Has been provided the details by some appropriate authority such as the local police. (3) The CAC or deployed G-1/Adjutant, when so directed by the contingency CAC concerned, will review the letter of condolence. As with letters of sympathy, letters of condolence are not sent until receipt of confirmation that NOK were notified. They should also not be mailed until at least 24 hours after mailing a letter of sympathy. (4) If they desire, commanders of personnel hospitalized and listed as VSI, SI, or NSI, may correspond with the Soldier’s NOK through a letter of concern. If they write, they must follow the procedures for preparing and reviewing letters of sympathy in AR , Chapter 8. NOTE: Discuss drafting letter in advance for commander’s approval. Each letter should be personalized for each Soldier and each family member.

Casualty Notification and Casualty Assistance
SHOW SLIDE: Casualty Notification, Assistance and Disposition Learning Step/Activity 4. Identify the principles of casualty notification, assistance, and disposition Method of Instruction: Conference/Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:16 Time of Instruction: 15 mins Note: Transition Slide

Casualty Notification
Process of informing the next of kin of Soldiers and DA civilians who have been reported as a casualty. Casualty Notification is conducted in person to the primary and secondary next of kin of all dead or missing Soldiers and DA civilians on behalf of Secretary of the Army Conducted by an Officer, Warrant Officer, or Senior NCO (SFC and above) in Class A Uniform between hours (requires two person team, second preferably a chaplain) DoDI , January 8, 2006, Change 1, August 14, 2009, pg 18 VSI/SI/wounded –CMOAC will provide Telephonic notification to PNOK for all VSI/SI wounded Soldiers and DA civilians SHOW SLIDE: Casualty Notification The CNO notifies the Primary and Secondary NOK listed on the DD Form 93 (Record of Emergency Data) of an individual who has been reported as a casualty in a timely, professional, and dignified manner (goal of with 4 hours of CAC notification; PNOK notified before SNOK). The method of notification varies, depending upon the type of casualty and circumstances surrounding the incident. Notification is made in person by a uniformed Active Duty Soldier for deceased, missing, or DUSTWUN Soldiers. (Deceased, DUSTWUN, Missing – 4 hours; Injured or Ill casualties – 2 hours) If there is a chance that the NOK may learn of the casualty by other than official sources, the Director CMAOC may approve notification by the quickest means, normally the telephone. In such an event, a uniformed service representative will render official condolences (for death cases) or official expressions of concern (for missing or DUSTWUN cases) in person. The CAC should make every effort to provide a chaplain to accompany the CNO. When a chaplain is not available, a second Soldier will accompany the CNO on the notification mission. The CNO team represents the Secretary of the Army. The CNO team will be courteous, helpful, and compassionate toward the NOK while performing this sensitive mission. The CACs will ensure CNOs are trained and certified to perform this sensitive mission prior to conducting an actual CNO assignment. Notification through unofficial channels or family grapevines can cause undo hardship on the victims family and on other families in the unit. Commanders will ensure that notification procedures are strictly followed. Rear detachments are afforded the opportunity to make notification for wounded, injured or ill Soldiers. CMAOC will make any follow-up notifications required (e.g., change in condition, Soldier moved to another MTF). Rear detachments should be proactive in getting information about their Soldiers and passing it to the NOK – this is a chain of command issue. Rear detachments should actively keep track of families while the unit is deployed. NOTE: Discuss potential causes for delay of notification, to include: incorrect or missing information on DD Form 93; dysfunctional families; distances to PNOK and SNOK; time of day; NOK at work or on vacation. Discuss ways the unit can help the notification process / prevent delays. DoDI , January 8, 2006, Change 1, August 14, 2009, pg 18, Hours CNO/CAO Training

Direct Disposition (PADD)
Person Authorized to Direct Disposition (PADD) Legal representative has the first precedence (if they present appropriate documentation) Spouse has second precedence Child has third precedence, by age A parent has the fourth precedence, by legal custody, then age Sibling has the fifth precedence, by age Other blood relative has the sixth precedence A person standing in loco parentis has the seventh precedence Additional precedence may be found in AR 638-2, Care and Disposition of Remains and Disposition of Personal Effects SHOW SLIDE: PADD Order of Precedence The right to direct disposition of remains is a highly emotional issue in many families. On occasion each family member will have a different opinion on what to do. The Army does not negotiate with committees or intervene in family disputes. Accordingly, the CAO must ensure that he/she is talking only with the person authorized to give disposition instructions to determine whether the remains will be cremated or prepared for burial with a choice of casket and place of interment. Only one person at a time can be the PADD.
