Expeditionary Sustainment Command Method of Instruction: Conference/Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:16 Time of Instruction: Media: Large Group Instruction The HROB is a subordinate branch of the SPO within the Sustainment Brigade and ESC. The branch is responsible for the planning, coordinating, integrating, and synchronizing PA, casualty, and postal operations missions within the Sustainment Brigade’s or ESC’s AO. The HROB receives technical guidance from the HRSC and operational guidance from sustainment command and control channels. Technical guidance includes mission analysis, determining the best method of support, and passing the requirement to the HR element for execution. Select members of the HROB are included as part of the early entry element of the SPO, focusing on the establishment of the PA portion of the Reception, Staging, Onward Movement, and Integration (RSO&I) process. Early entry element personnel also ensure initial postal support and casualty operations are established. The HROB requires voice, SIPRNET and NIPRNET connectivity to communicate with the HRSC, subordinate HR organizations, supported organizations, and with other HROBs. The HROB requires access to ABCS, BCS3, FBCB2, COPS, and other systems fielded in the deployed AO. FM 1-0, Figure 2-6 provides the recommended standardized structure for the Branch.

HROB Planning Considerations
Planning is the process by which commanders and staff translate the commander’s visualization into a specific course of action for preparation and execution…..focusing on expected results In an expeditionary environment, a Rapid Decision Making and Synchronization Process (RDSP) applies to both execution and adjustment decisions. HROB leaders can use the RDSP to complement the focused COA and recognition decision techniques. RDSP helps leaders focus on executing rather than planning - and facilitates continuously integrating and synchronizing the WFFs to achieve operational adaptability HR Planning and Operations is the means by which HR providers “envision a desired HR end-state in support of the operational commander’s mission requirements” Combined with the eight principles of Sustainment, six HR enduring principles, MDMP and RDSP, and the use of sound planning considerations, HR leaders can communicate to subordinate HR practitioners, sustainment providers, and unit leaders the intent, expected requirements, and outcomes to be achieved SHOW SLIDE: HROB PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS NOTE: See ADRP 5-0, Chapter 2 (Planning) and FM 1-0, Chapter 6 (HR Planning and Operations) NOTE: Allow students to review the slide and references below from FM 1-0 and ADRP Facilitate discussion on the planning process and RDSP as it relates to HR support. FM 1-0 para 1-24: HR planning and operations are the means by which HR leaders envision a desired HR end state in support of the operational commander’s mission requirements. It communicates to subordinate HR providers and HR unit leaders the intent, expected requirements, and desired outcomes in the form of an OPLAN or OPORD, and the process of tracking current and near-term (future) execution of the planned HR support to ensure effective support to the operational commander through the following process (Operations).” ADRP 5-0, para 2-4. “Planning is the process by which commanders (and the staff, if available) translate the commander’s visualization into a specific course of action for preparation and execution, focusing on the expected results (ADP 3-0). Put another way, planning is the art and science of understanding a situation, envisioning a desired future, and laying out an operational approach to achieve that future. Based on this understanding and operational approach, planning continues with the development of a fully synchronized operation plan or order that arranges potential actions in time, space, and purpose to guide the force during execution.” ADRP 5-0, para 2-1. “Planning is the art and science of understanding a situation, envisioning a desired future, and laying out effective ways of bringing that future about. Planning is both conceptual and detailed. Conceptual planning includes developing an understanding of the operational environment, framing the problem, defining a desired end state, and developing an operational approach to achieve the desired end state. Conceptual planning generally corresponds to the art of operations and is commander led. Both design (see Chapter 3) and the MDMP (see Appendix B) assist commanders and staffs with the conceptual aspects of planning. In contrast, detailed planning translates the broad concept into a complete and practical plan. Detailed planning generally corresponds to the science of operations and encompasses the specifics of implementation. Detailed planning works out the scheduling, coordination, or technical issues involved with moving, sustaining, administering, and directing forces.

HROB Planning Concept (1 of 2) The objective of providing HR support at the HROB level is to “ensure, extend and prolong endurance.” Personnel services complement logistics by planning for and coordinating efforts that provide and sustain personnel. The HROB within the SPO is the commander’s hub for HR integration, synchronization, planning, coordination, sustainment, and operations. This is a minimum mission-essential SPO asset that provides the commander a well trained and capable staff to plan and coordinate sufficient HR organizations needed to provide execution-critical HR support based on the commander’s intent. What to do and why How to do it Detailed planning Conceptual planning establishes works out the particulars of objectives as well as a broad execution based on objectives approach for achieving them already provided. . Conceptual Detailed Such as concept of operations Such as movement tables, and commander’s intent target lists, and control measures Concepts drives details Details influence concepts The Planning Construct ADRP 5-0, para 2-17 SHOW SLIDE: HROB PLANNING CONCEPT (1 OF 2) NOTE: ADRP 3-0, para 4-20, “Ensure, extend ,and prolong.” It states: “The sustainment warfighting function (WFF) is the related tasks and systems that provide support and services to ensure freedom of action, extend operational reach, and prolong endurance. The endurance of Army forces is primarily a function of their sustainment. Sustainment determines the depth and duration of Army operations. It is essential to retaining and exploiting the initiative. Sustainment is the provision of the logistics, personnel services, and health service support necessary to maintain operations until mission accomplishment. Internment, resettlement, and detainee operations fall under the sustainment WFF and include elements of all three major sub-functions. FM 4-0 describes the sustainment WFF.” NOTE: Bullets 2 thru 4, see FMI , para (modified to fit this briefing format). Planning activities occupy a continuum ranging from conceptual to detailed. On one end of the continuum is conceptual planning. Developing tactical and operational concepts for the overall conduct of military operations is conceptual planning. Understanding the operational environment and the problem, determining the operation’s end state, establishing objectives, and sequencing the operation in broad terms all illustrate conceptual planning. Conceptual planning helps answer questions of what to do and why. In general, conceptual planning focuses heavily on synthesis supported by analysis. Conceptual planning generally corresponds to the art of operations and is the focus of the commander with staff support. The battle command activities of understanding and visualization are key aspects of conceptual planning. At the other end of the continuum is detailed planning. Detailed planning translates the broad operational approach into a complete and practical plan. Generally, detailed planning is associated with the science of war and falls under the purview of the staff, focusing on specifics of execution. Detailed planning works out the scheduling, coordination, or technical problems involved with moving, sustaining, synchronizing, and directing the force. Unlike conceptual planning, detailed planning does not involve establishing end state conditions and objectives; instead, it works out actions to accomplish the commander’s intent and concept of operations.

HROB Planning Concept (2 of 2) It is critical that the HROB is included in the SPO planning process. The HROB provides technical guidance and resources to the SRC12 organizations (supporting units) - ensuring they have the capability to provide the required Postal, Personnel Accountability, and Casualty support directed in the HR concept of support Guided by supported/supporting relationships, a G-1/S-1 requests support and resources for Postal and Personnel Accountability operations through the HROB. The HROB processes the request, then prioritizes the request based on the availability of HR resources and scope of requested support to determine supportability If the HROB is unable to support the request with HR assets internal to its SB, the HROB forwards the request to the ESC/TSC SPO for resolution SHOW SLIDE: HROB PLANNING CONCEPT (2 OF 2) NOTE: FM 1-0, para 1-42 and 1-43.

HROB Key Performance Indicators
Assess P R E A L N X C U T Battle Command HROBs develop key performance indicators to monitor and ensure HR Operations are fully integrated into overall sustainment operations. Personnel Accountability Operations Location of PAT assets and operational status. PAT Teams are required at APOD/SPOD when daily flow rate is 600 or more per day Number of personnel arrived/departed in last 24 hrs and number projected in next 24 hours Red, Green, Amber, status of each Personnel Processing Center Are TG PAT and HR Company PATs capturing all categories of personnel (Soldiers, Joint Service personnel, DoD civilians, contractors) Number of days personnel remain at the APOD/TG Postal Operations Mail is secure, accounted for, and redirected Number and type of postal offenses tracked and corrected Number of days mail is static or undelivered Listing of FOBs in Sustainment Brigade AO and are they receiving mail daily or as often as OPTEMPO permits (Red, Green, Amber) Most recent postal inspection, status of inspection, and next scheduled inspection Number of tons of mail received versus dispatched Changes in population supported that may require reallocation of HR assets SHOW SLIDE: HROB KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FM 1-0, para The HROB tracks key performance indicators and is the Sustainment Brigade’s element responsible for ensuring HR operations are fully integrated into overall sustainment operations. The HROB ensures a sufficient number of HR organizations are available to provide HR area support, monitor support provided by HR organizations and manage HR support within the AO. The HROB provides technical guidance and resources to the HR organizations (supporting units) and ensures they have the capability to provide the required PA, casualty, and postal support directed in the HR concept of support. They provide a supported/supporting relationship with the G-1/AG and S-1s within the AO. NOTE: Facilitate discussion on specific planning factors HROB planners would use to develop key performance indicators and ensure HR operations are integrated into the overall sustainment plan. Discuss possible metrics student might consider or develop. Casualty Operations Number of casualties reported in last 24 hours Red, Green, Amber status of each CLT FM 1-0, para 2-52

Personnel Accountability
Examples CCIRs/EEFI Postal Accountable mail and casualty mail accounted for and redirected Postal Offenses Number of days mail is static, or undelivered (based on Theater policy) Storage capacity for mail based on combat operations (e.g., offense might require a delay in mail delivery) Personnel Accountability Visibility of inbound and outbound transportation TPS/DTAS operational and updated daily Uninterrupted access to eMILPO and DEERS-RAPIDS systems Number of days personnel remain at APOD/Theater Gateway Casualty Uninterrupted access to DCIPS-CF/CR Loss of communication between CLTs, Unit S1s and Theater CAC Initial casualty reports, from time of incident, greater than 12 hours, to HRC-CMAOC – tracked and reported by Theater CAC SHOW SLIDE: CCIRs (EXAMPLES) CCIR: ADRP 3-0, para 2-24, 2-53 A Commander’s Critical Information Requirements (CCIR) is an information requirement identified by the commander as being critical to facilitating timely decision making. The two key elements are friendly force information requirements and priority intelligence requirements (JP 3-0). A CCIR directly influences decision making and facilitates the successful execution of military operations. Commanders decide whether to designate an information requirement as a CCIR based on likely decisions and their visualization of the course of the operation. A CCIR may support one or more decisions. EEFI : ADP 5-0, para An Essential Element of Friendly Information is a critical aspect of a friendly operation that, if known by the enemy, would subsequently compromise, lead to failure, or limit success of the operation, and therefore should be protected from enemy detection. Although EEFIs are not CCIRs, they have the same priority. An EEFI establishes an element of information to protect rather than one to collect. EEFIs identify those elements of friendly force information that, if compromised, would jeopardize mission success. As part of the initial mission analysis, HR planners determine any CCIR and EEFI which may impact the mission. On this slide are some examples of CCIRs/EEFI HR professionals may track that are often tied to the Key Performance Indicators the HROB monitors.

Keys To Success Establish and maintain operational relevance with the ESC/SB SPO to ensure HR freedom of action, extend HR operational reach, and prolong HR endurance Actively participant in MDMP/RDSP processes; provide decision dominance Engage with theater HR leadership and support HRSC/ASCC G-1/AG intent Achieve and maintain HR situational awareness, situational understanding, and “operational adaptability” Develop understanding of contingency contracting, operational contracting support, and importance of Contracting Officer Representative (COR) roles Understand doctrinal Rules of Allocation for HR assets and battle space placement of HR assets and enablers Participate in Army and Joint exercises to share HR experience gained Maintain mental agility and critical thinking - you are (or will likely be) operating in a persistent conflict and expeditionary environment Operational Adaptability = Relevance* SHOW SLIDE: KEYS TO SUCCESS MDMP is covered in ADP 5-0 and is an established and proven analytical planning process. An HROB MUST be able to use the MDMP to develop analysis/COAs and recommendations on the placement of HR Assets on the ground as well as to mitigate shortfalls in sourcing allocations. See ADRP 5-0, para 4-34 for the RDSP process. SA and SU is covered in detail in ADP 3-0, para 5-16, 5-17 and defined in para 7-57 and See FMI (Chapter 5); FM (Chapter 1), FM 4-94 (para 4-105) and FM for Contracting. COR training is available on-line at Defense Acquisition University (DAU). Contracting pitfalls generally occur in abuse or ignorance of “time, purpose, amount” restrictions and use of vague and ambiguous terms and lack of knowledge of a contractors Statement of Work (SOW) requirements and deliverables. Operational Adaptability is “the ability to link the tactical employment of forces to policy goals and strategic objectives” (TRADOC Pam ). Need to know and understand the doctrinal rules of allocation for HR assets in order to make sound recommendations for providing minimum mission-essential HR requirements and placement on the battlefield tempered with METT-TC. Mental agility and critical thinking is covered in FM (Army Leadership), paragraphs 4- 72, and 6-5. See ADP 6.0 for Confidence (Page 2 ,para 8) and ADRP 6-0 Competence (para 2-5). An ideal Army leader has strong intellect, physical presence, professional competence, high moral character, and serves as a role model. An Army leader is able and willing to act decisively, within the intent and purpose of his superior leaders, and in the best interest of the organization. Army leaders recognize that organizations, built on mutual trust and confidence, successfully accomplish peacetime and wartime missions. Relevance: “having a clearly significant, demonstrable, traceable, and logical connection to, and bearing on, the matter(s) at hand .”
18
Operational Adaptability
To meet the challenges of future armed conflict, Army leaders and future forces must develop operational adaptability - a quality that Army leaders and forces exhibit based on critical thinking, comfort with ambiguity and decentralization, a willingness to accept prudent risk, and an ability to make rapid adjustments based on a continuous assessment of the situation Operational adaptability is essential to developing situational understanding and seizing, retaining, and exploiting the initiative. It is impossible to anticipate precisely the character and the dynamics of future armed conflict. Designing forces and educating leaders to adapt quickly to changing conditions, however, will permit Army forces to recover from surprise and exploit unforeseen opportunities Operational adaptability requires mastery of the operational art, or the ability to link the tactical employment of forces to policy goals and strategic objectives. It also requires Army forces that are proficient in the fundamentals and possess common understanding of how to combine joint, Army, interagency, and multinational capabilities to assist friends, to protect and reassure indigenous populations, and to identify, isolate, and defeat enemies under uncertain and dynamic conditions. Operational adaptability also requires cohesive teams and resilient Soldiers who are capable of overcoming the enduring psychological and moral challenges of combat See TRADOC Pam , “The Army’s Future Force Capstone Concept” SHOW SLIDE: Operational Adaptability TRADOC Pam , “The Army’s Future Force Capstone Concept NOTE: Allow student to review slide and refer to reference (hyperlink on slide).
