LESSON PLAN

Lesson Author: AG Branch, ITDDate prepared: November 2018Last update: November 2018

1. SCOPE: Organize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel Readiness Processing Program and how Soldier readiness, mobilization, and deployment processing are all connected to ensure Soldiers and Families are informed and prepared for deployment.

Students will reach the following lesson outcomes through assigned readings, actively participating in class, and completing the practical exercises:

Reinforce material by relating real-world experiences to the content..

Demonstrate doctrinal proficiency, critical thinking, and oral/written communication skills are provided throughout the lesson Enabled to correlate S-1 tasks, functions, and responsibilities during each stage.

Culminating in a group project that has students replicate the research, organization, and planning skills they will be expected to apply in future assignments

2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

ELO 4.5:Action: Organize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support

Condition: Senior HR Leaders in a classroom environment working In a small group environment, using readings, classroom discussions, presentations, doctrinal publications, course reference materials and an awareness of Operational Environment (OE) variables and actors.

Standard: Evaluate the personnel readiness processing requirements for the Soldier Readiness Program, Mobilization Processing, Deployment Processing, and Redeployment Processing that correlate to Battalion/Brigade S-1 responsibilities and actions that must be completed or managed to successfully prepare, certify, and report individual Soldier and unit readiness for deployment

Page 3: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

Evaluation: You will be evaluated at the end of the Man the Force module.

Risk Assessment Level: Low

Safety Requirements: In a training environment, leaders must perform a RiskAssessment in accordance with DA PAM 385-30, Risk Management. Leaders will complete a DD Form 2977 Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet during the planning and completion of each task and sub-task by assessing mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available-time available and civil considerations, (METT-TC). Local policies and procedures must be followed during times of increased heat category in order to avoid heat related injury. Consider the work/rest cycles and water replacement guidelines IAW TRADOC Regulation 350-29. No food or drink is allowed near or around electrical equipment (CPU, file servers, printers, projectors, etc.) due to possible electrical shock or damage to equipment. Exercise care in personal movement in and through such areas. Avoid all electrical cords and associated wiring. In the event of an electrical storm, you will be instructed to power down equipment. Everyone is responsible for safety..

Environmental Statement: Environmental protection is not just the law but the right thing to do. It is a continual process and starts with deliberate planning. Always be alert to ways to protect our environment during training and missions. In doing so, you will contribute to the sustainment of our training resources while protecting people and the environment from harmful effects. Refer to ATP 3-34.5, Environmental Considerations, and GTA 05-08-002, Environmental-Related Risk Assessment.

Learning Domain: Cognitive

Level of Learning: Application

Army Learning Areas (ALA) are the baseline focal points Soldiers and Army Civilians must possess to prevail in the ambiguous environments that challenge the Army today. The four ALAs are: Army Profession and Leadership; Mission Command; Human Dimension; and Professional Competence. The Army Learning Area taxonomy provides a framework to assist in grouping the General Learning Outcomes (GLO). The four ALAs serve as the framework to catalogue the 14 GLOs.

The following ALA corresponds with this lesson:

Human Dimension: The human dimension embodies the cognitive, physical, and social components of the Army’s trusted professionals and teams. There are five GLOs for the Human Dimension ALA.

The GLOs are essential outcomes resulting from training, education, and

experience along a career continuum of learning. There are three primary purposes for the Army General Learning Outcomes. First, they provide trainers and educators a lens into how effective they are in conveying their support material. Second, it assists in improving instructional design and/or training support packages. Finally it places responsibility on training and education proponents to be nested with ALAs.

The following GLOs correspond with this lesson:

GLO 7: Soldiers and Army Civilians demonstrate capacity in critical thinking. This GLO includes Applied Critical Thinking and Groupthink Mitigation, Strategic Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making.

GLO 8: Soldiers and Army Civilians demonstrate proficiency in communication skills. This includes Verbal Communication, Written Communication, Active Listening, Facilitation, Negotiations, Social Media, and Digital Communications.

a. Lesson Timeline:20 minutes Concrete Experience: “What does the S1 do?”30 minutes Publish and Process10 minutes Break50 minutes Generalize New Information

10 minutes Break50 minutes Generalize New Information

Instructor Note: Throughout this lesson, solicit from students the challenges they experienced in the operational environment (OE) and what they did to resolve them. Encourage students to apply at least one of the critical variables: Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, Infrastructure, Physical Environment and Time (PMESII-PT).Adjust the Lesson Timeline as necessary to facilitate class schedule, your teaching style, and student learning. There are no time constraints during any particular phase of the ELM model.

NOTE: As units deploy in support of Contingency Operations (global war on terrorism missions, support for peace operations, humanitarian assistance, non-combatant evacuations, international disaster relief, etc.), the Army (Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) must be capable of rapidly deploying anywhere in the world.

Alert may come with little or no notice. In any event, contingency operations demand a versatile mix of forces that are organized, trained, equipped, and poised to respond quickly. Force projection begins as a rapid response to a crisis. Force projection is the military component of power projection. Projecting the force anywhere in the world involves AC and RC units. Force projection encompasses a range of processes: mobilization, deployment, employment, redeployment, post deployment / demobilization, reconstitution, and train up / sustainment.

Once Soldiers mobilize and/or alerted for deployment, they must go through the Soldier Readiness Program (SRP). The SRP requires commanders to identify and correct non-deployable conditions within 30 days before an actual unit deployment date or the date an individual Soldier departs on Temporary Change of Station (TCS) orders. All deploying Soldiers must meet the SRP requirements. As HR officers, commanders rely on your expertise to ensure their unit deploys at the highest personnel level (P level) possible. The SRP allows you to correct all personnel issues prior to deployment. However, keep in mind that maintaining Soldier readiness is a continuous process.

b. Concrete Experience (Rebuild our Culture of Deployment Readiness)(20 min):

Slide 1: Concrete Experience (Rebuild our Culture of Deployment Readiness)

Focus: Concrete Experience.

CONCRETE EXPERIENCE1. Allow students to read the slide.

2. Break the class into seven (3) groups and assign each group one (1) phase of the mobilization and deployment processing support.

3. Provide each group a blank worksheet (pictured below) for their assigned MDPS phase. Ideally, student should record their responses on media (e.g., whiteboard) so the entire class can view during the processing phase. Because of the number of groups, this may not be possible. Facilitators should make use of other Classroom XXI technology, if available (e.g., “Elmo Projector”) to display group products.

4. Allow each group 20 minutes (+/-) to develop and record their responses on the worksheet provided.

DCS GROUP WORKSHEETS

c. Publish and Process (30 min): This phase is student-centered and instructor facilitated.

The “publish” portion is a short discussion on how group members felt during their experience of generating data. This phase focuses on the group dynamics during the exercise and is NOT intended to be a discussion of the content generated. This can be kept short; once the group moves to “process,” they will likely continue to add to “publishing” type information. Do not let the group jump straight to content. When well facilitated, publishing is a good method to relate a discussion of interpersonal communication and group dynamics to the broader topic of leader competencies described in FM 6-22, Army Leadership. Questions the instructor may ask to assist in the publishing phase:

What happened? How did you feel about that?

Who had a similar or different experience, and why? Were there any surprises?

Did anyone have a hard time contributing? Why? (Knowledge, group dynamics, etc.)

Was everyone engaged in actively listening, or were some trying to dominate? If a “dominator” personality exists, how can you ensure participation and commitment of everyone towards shared knowledge and understanding?

The “processing” phase now allows the group to talk about the data they generated. Discussion and questions are directed toward making sense of the data for the individual and the group.

NOTE: The processing phase is slightly different for this lesson because each group was asked to examine one of the five stages of MDPS (as compared to the entire class examining one issue/question as a collective group).

1. Have the Group #1 (Personnel Readiness Program) present their responses to the class.

2. Display Personnel Readiness Program “answer key” slide included in this lesson. Compare and contrast the answers Group #1 provided and those provided on the “answer key” slide. Facilitate discussion on responses provided and challenge other students to contribute S-1 tasks, functions or responsibilities that may have been missed. Ensure you include discussion on the bullets contained on the top of each slide which includes doctrinal information or information directly from the MDPS Directive on each MDPS phase.

3. Move on to Group #2, Group #3, etc.

Adjust the time spent on the processing phase as necessary to facilitate class schedule, your teaching style, and student learning. Remember, there are no time constraints during any particular phase of the ELM model.

BREAK. Providing the training schedule provides and available time permits this is a good point to provide the students a short break before transitioning to the Terminal Learning Objective

Slide 5: Terminal Learning Objective

Focus: Review the TLO with the students and the associated learning activities.

Terminal Learning Objective

This lesson is focused on meeting AG technical education outcomes. After completing this lesson, students should be confident in their ability to apply critical thinking in managing mobilization and deployment processing support.

.

During this stage, units or individuals are alerted for possible deployment and undergo preparations and training.

NOTE: Review the Terminal Learning Objective with the students.

ACTION: Organize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support.

CONDITIONS: In a small group environment, using readings, classroom discussions, presentations, doctrinal publications, and an awareness of Operational Environment (OE) variables and actors.

STANDARD: Evaluate the personnel readiness processing requirements for the Soldier Readiness Program, Mobilization Processing, Deployment Processing, and Redeployment Processing that correlate to Battalion/Brigade S-1 responsibilities and actions that must be completed or managed to successfully prepare, certify, and report individual Soldier and unit readiness for deployment.

Slide 6: Summary of Changes

Focus: Discuss the significant changes with the students.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

1. The current "Manage the DCS Program" lesson plan requires a major revision based on significant doctrinal and DA regulatory and policy changes and updates. 2. The release of revised AR 600-8-101 (6 Mar 18) and DA Pam 600-8-101 (6 Mar 18) eliminates all references to Deployment Cycle Support (DCS). Additionally, DA Form 7631 (DCS Checklist) is no longer valid. 3. Personnel Support to deployments is still addressed in AR 600-8-101 and DA Pam 600-8-101 with revised language that is no longer oriented to the ARFORGEN cycle the way DCS is. 4. Other factors from the Summary of Change include: a. Changes the name of the regulation from Personnel Processing (In-, Out-, Soldier Readiness, and Deployment Cycle) to “Personnel Readiness Processing”, and the name of the DA Pam from Personnel Processing (In-, Out-, Soldier Readiness, and Deployment Cycle Support) to “Personnel Processing Procedures.” b. Replaces “ARFORGEN” with “Sustainable Readiness” in accordance with Army Directive 2016–07 (throughout).

Page 11: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

c. Incorporates “readiness” after personnel to be consistent with Army Directive 2016–07 and the terminology of “personnel readiness” (throughout). d. Incorporates administrative Deployability standards (Adjustments to Administrative Policy) from Army Directive 2016–07, (Personnel Readiness Transformation) (throughout).

Slide 7: Personnel Readiness Processing Program

Focus: This slide provides a description of the Personnel Readiness Processing System.

AR 600-8-101, Para 1-5

Personnel Readiness Processing Program

1. The Personnel Readiness Processing Program prepares, certifies, and reports individual Soldier and unit readiness for deployment, including shortfalls, to the unit commander.

2. The personnel readiness processing program may be supplemented by brigade, battalion, unit, installation, or com-munity-based operational procedures to meet local requirements. However, supplementation of this regulation and establishment of command and local forms are prohibited without prior approval from the Deputy Chief of Staff, G–1 (DAPE–MP). 3. The activities through which all Soldiers must process are indicated on the processing forms. Commanders may require Soldiers to process through additional activities listed on the forms and/or some local activities not listed (unique local activities can be added).

4. The supervisor of each readiness processing activity will ensure that all Soldiers have completely processed before granting clearance.

Slide 8: Program Standards

Focus: Discuss the complexity of the numerous functions and multifunctional programs.

AR 600-8-101, Para 1-6

Program Standards

1. Soldier readiness, mobilization, and deployment processing is a multifunctional program that supports the Soldier Readiness (SR) process and—

a. Establishes both peacetime and wartime military personnel processing standards.

b. Is resourced in base operations.

c. Under centralized conditions, Soldier readiness, mobilization, and deployment processing facilities operate under general management of the garrison directorate of plans, training, mobilization, and security. In-processing and out-processing facilities operate under general management of the garrison military personnel division (MPD).

2. Execution of the Soldier readiness, mobilization, and deployment processing multifunctional program requires connectivity with the numerous functions and multifunctional programs: Enlisted personnel management, Enlisted promotions and reductions, Enlisted transfers or discharges, Suspension of favorable personnel actions, Identification documents, Leaves and passes, Officer personnel management, Officer promotions, Officer transfers or discharges, Personnel accounting and strength reporting, Personnel security clearances, Reassignments, Retention, Sponsorship, Transition processing, Battalion personnel service support, Orders program, Personnel record, Exceptional Family Member Program, Soldier for Life-Transition Assistance, Personnel tempo, Medical screening, Dental screening, Deployment Health Assessment Program, Education center, Behavioral health (including Substance Abuse), and Family Advocacy Program.

3. The military personnel and finance functional proponents will support the program manager in the execution of the program by—

9

Page 13: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

a. Ensuring that Soldier readiness, mobilization, and deployment processing standards and requirements are accurately and completely identified in this regulation.

b. Including the details of Soldier readiness, mobilization, and deployment processing requirements in their functional regulations.

4. Processing standards include the following:

a. The Soldier readiness, mobilization, deployment readiness, and redeployment processing program will provide a framework to bring together installation and community staff support agencies in support of Soldiers and Families under the leadership of the installation adjutant general or Chief, MPD.

b. Installations and communities will operate military personnel processing activities to process Soldiers and their Families efficiently and expeditiously.

c. Functional staff offices, to include brigade and battalion adjutants (S1s) (see FM 1–0 and ATTP 1–0.1), are responsible for the resourcing and operations of their own activities in support of Soldier readiness, mobilization, and deployment processing requirements.

a. Soldier Family routine orientation briefings during Soldier readiness, mobilization, deployment, and SR/redeployment processing will place special emphasis on access to care regarding medical and behavioral health services. Family members should be encouraged to attend.

Slide 9: Adjustments to Administration Policy

Focus: Administrative deployability standards

*AR 600-8-10, Para 1-11

Adjustments to Administration Policy

Administrative deployability standards. Commanders will no longer report whether their personnel are “available,” but will instead report whether their personnel are

10

Page 14: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

“deployable” when calculating their units’ personnel readiness level. Commanders will manage Soldiers as deployable or nondeployable in accordance with the following definitions. These definitions apply to all components of the Army. The authoritative data system counts personnel as deployable unless a nondeployable condition exists.

Deployable - A Soldier under the direct operational control of the reporting unit, whether present or able to be present within 72 hours, who follows all required personnel readiness standards and not restricted from deploying to perform the unit’s core designed and assigned missions.

Non deployable -A Soldier who is restricted from worldwide deployment for a unit’s core designed or assigned mission.

Slide 10: Soldier Ineligibility for Overseas (OCONUS) Deployment (1)

Focus: Medical Criteria (Non-Deployable)

*AR 614-30, Para 3-8 and

*DA Pam 600-8-10, Para 3-7 or 2-8

Soldier Ineligibility for Overseas (OCONUS) Deployment (1)

Medical Criteria (Non-Deployable)

1. Soldiers with Medical Readiness Code (MRC) 1 and 2 are deployable. Soldiers with MRC 3 and 4 default to non-deployable. Medical conditions within MRC 3 and 4 are divided into seven deployment limiting (DL) codes. CDRs will make deployability determinations on MRC 3, DL 1 and 2, and MRC 4 medical conditions. Determinations will remain in the CDR’s portal (Medical Operational Data System) for revalidation monthly. Soldiers with a permanent physical profile of “3” or “4” are non-deployable until

11

Page 15: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

completion of MOS Administrative Retention Review (MAR2) and/or PEB. During partial mobilization, MAR2 action may be temporarily waived by the MAR2 convening authority. If the MAR2 is waived, Soldiers must be medically cleared for deployment, as determined by both the attending physician and the unit CDR.

2. In accordance with AR 600–110, HIV positive Soldiers are permanently non-deployable to overseas locations. If unit is alerted for OCONUS deployment, HIV positive Soldiers are rendered IA and will be reassigned from the unit. If found HIV positive after OCONUS deployment, Soldiers will be immediately returned to CONUS.

3. Pregnant Soldiers are non-deployable. Soldiers found pregnant after deployment will be removed from area of responsibility when cleared by medical authority.

Slide 11: Soldier Ineligibility for Overseas (OCONUS) Deployment (2)

Focus: Other Criteria/Factors (Non-Deployables)

*AR 614-30, Para 3-8 and

*AR 600-8-10, Para 1-11

Soldier Ineligibility for Overseas (OCONUS) Deployment (2)

Other Criteria/Factors (Non-Deployable)

1. Mandatory training and assignments. Completion of the OBC, WOBC, and MOS school is required for deployment. Enlisted Soldiers must complete IET or have completed Warrior Transition Course prior to 1 January 2011, as appropriate. Soldiers selected for warrant officer candidate school or officer candidate school will comply with assignment instructions to the school.

2. Legal processing. Under criminal investigation by civil or military authorities for the commission of a serious offense. A Soldier is under investigation for the commission of a serious offense if a punitive discharge is, or would be, authorized for the same or closely related offense under the Manual for Courts-Martial. Pending discharge or separation. In cases of administrative separation, a Soldier is pending separation when he has been formally notified of his CDR’s intent to initiate separation and is flagged in

12

Page 16: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

accordance with AR 600–8–2. Under arrest and/or being held in confinement by military or civilian authorities. Pending military court-martial or civilian criminal proceedings for the commission of a serious offense. A Soldier is pending court-martial proceedings when the Government has preferred charges against the Soldier under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). A Soldier is pending civilian criminal proceedings when criminal charges have been filed against the Soldier in Federal or State court. In coordination with the servicing Staff Judge Advocate, unit CDRs may determine that other legal actions may also preclude a Soldier from deploying with his/her unit.

3. Separations and Headquarters, Department of the Army assignment instructions. Separations. Soldiers are not deployable if being discharged, retired, released from active duty, or processed for ETS and/or ESA. CDRs may also excuse from deployment Soldiers who have fewer than 61 days to separation. Headquarters, Department of the Army assignments. Soldiers in alerted units are non-deployable if in receipt of HQDA AIs that conflict with deployment dates. The variances must be resolved via deferment and/or deletion process in accordance with AR 600–8–11. Normally, if the assignment reporting date is within 60 days of the deployment date, Soldier will comply with AIs to new units or schools.

4. Lautenberg Amendment. Soldiers subject to the provisions of the HQDA policy for implementing 18 USC 922, (amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968) are permanently non-deployable and IA for involuntary reassignment to table of distribution and allowances (TDA) or other organizations not likely to deploy.

5. Soldiers under the age of 18. Soldiers under 18 years of age are not eligible for OCONUS duty until they reach age 18. If inadvertently assigned or deployed to an overseas location, Soldiers not yet 18 years old will be immediately reassigned back to CONUS. Excluded are deployments or reassignments to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, territories, and possessions of the United States.

6. Military sexual offenders. Soldiers identified as military sexual offenders are permanently non-deployable on a TDY or TCS to duty stations OCONUS except for locations in Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or territories or possessions of the United States. Soldiers who are deployed to a non-permitted OCONUS location in a TDY or TCS status will immediately be returned to their parent organization.

Slide 12: In-processing Record

Focus:

*DA PAM 600-8-101, Para. 2-1

In-processing Record

DA Form 5123 – 1 (In-Processing Personnel Record) guides a Soldier through the in-processing installation/community level program and DA Form 5123 – 1 provides a record of the Soldier’s readiness status. Upon completion of in-processing into the assigned unit, a completed DA Form 5123 – 1 and DA Form 5123 (In- and Out-Processing Records Checklist) will be filed in the Soldier’s personnel readiness file in the battalion-level personnel section (battalion S1) or unit, per AR 25 – 400 – 2, under the Army Records Information Management System file number 600 – 8–101e, In-Processing Outputs. A Soldier’s personnel readiness file will form the core of the deployment packet, when needed, and will be the repository for DA Form 7425 (Readiness and Deployment Checklist), which is completed during SRP and during mandatory formal SRP at specified points in the SR process. In the future, the paper deployment packet will be eliminated and all required documents will be filed and accessible worldwide on the interactive Personnel Electronic Records Management System (iPERMS). Soldiers will report for in-processing within 24 hours of or on the next duty day following arrival (sign-in) at the installation. Soldiers will complete installation- and community-level in-processing within 5 duty days (standard). Deviations from this standard require prior approval of the installation or community commander.

14

Page 18: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

Slide 13: Battalion or Unit In-processing Requirements

Focus: Facilitate student-center discussion on

*DA PAM 600-8-101, Para. 2-3

1. After properly in-processing at the installation or community level, each Soldier will report to the unit specified on the assignment orders.

2. The battalion staff activity or unit will accomplish at least the requirements

specified in DA Form 5123 – 1.

3. The battalion S1 will conduct a final check of every in-processing Soldier to ensure that all Soldier readiness non-deployable conditions have been corrected or that appointments have been made to correct those conditions and that the unit commander is notified to follow up. Unit commanders will continually monitor the readiness condition of all Soldiers in the unit.

4. The Civilian Personnel Advisory Center will be notified of all military personnel who will supervise one or more civilian employees.

5. The battalion S1 will suspense and follow up process, and report on all Soldier readiness requirement deficiencies identified to the battalion commander.

6. The battalion S1 will verify Soldiers who in-process with transferable flags arrive with supporting documentation and are entered into unit flag records. The S1 will contact the outgoing unit for missing documentation or disposition on Soldiers arriving with nontransferable flags.

7. The battalion S1 will ensure that all Soldiers update their latest contact information in Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). The battalion intelligence officer (S2) will ensure Soldiers meet the security clearance or background investigation requirement for their newly assigned duty positions and initiate corrective actions as required.

Slide 14: Soldier Eligibility for Overseas (OCONUS) Deployment with a Waiver

Focus: Hostile fire area exemptions, deferments, assignments, and waivers.

*AR 614-30, Para 3-8

Soldier Eligibility for Overseas (OCONUS) Deployment with a Waiver

Hostile fire area exemptions, deferments, assignments, and waivers.

1. Alerted for deployment. If alerted for deployment to an HFA, under certain conditions Soldiers may be eligible for deferment, exemption, or reassignment from combat duties.

2. Surviving Family Member. An individual designated as a surviving Family member is exempt, on his or her request, from serving in an HFA or may be reassigned if currently serving in such an area if his or her Family member, during military Service in a designated HFA dies, is determined to be 100 percent physically or mentally disabled, or is in a captured or missing in action status.

3. Family members in same unit. All but one Soldier may request reassignment, but final decision will be based on military requirements and may or may not be approved. For this purpose, an Army unit is defined as a battalion, squadron, or an element of fewer than 500 authorized Army personnel.

4. Adoption, childbirth, and non-deployment. The military mother of a newborn is non-deployable for six months from the date of the child’s birth. One member of a military couple or a single parent seeking to adopt a child is non-deployable for six months from the date the child is scheduled to be officially placed in the home pending adoption. The Soldier may request waiver of the deferment. If approved, a Soldier may deploy with the unit during the six-month non-deployable period following a newborn’s birth or the scheduled placement of a child pending adoption. The CDR may further extend deferment period if deemed operationally feasible.

16

Page 20: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

5. Sole surviving son and/or daughter status. A Soldier who has acquired sole surviving son or daughter status in accordance with AR 614–200 may request the action be waived in order to deploy with his or her unit. If no waiver is requested and the exemption is approved, Soldier is considered permanently non-deployable to an imminent danger pay area or to a HFA and is considered IA for involuntary reassignment from the unit. Requests for exemption from deployment to HFA and/ or combat duty may also be submitted by Soldier’s parents or spouse.

6. For compassionate and/or hardship reasons. Soldiers alerted for deployment may request exemption, deferment, reassignment, or separation for compassionate and/or hardship reasons.

7. Combat Wounded Soldiers. Soldiers wounded because of hostile-fire action resulting from combat duty and who, as a result, are hospitalized 30 or more days outside the HFA will not be returned to combat duty during the tour when wounded. Soldiers may volunteer to return to the HFA. Soldiers will be eligible for future combat tours if medically qualified.

8. Exceptions for former members of the Peace Corps:

a. Must not be assigned in Military Intelligence (MI), 4 years after the Peace Corps assignment.

b. If Service members acquire an intelligence MOS, they must not perform duty in any country that they served in while a member of the Peace Corps.

Slide 16: Installation SRP Stations (1 of 2)

Focus:

*AR 600-8-101, Para 4-6 or FM 1-0, Para 4-3

Installation SRP Stations (1 of 2)

1. The following are Level 1 SRP and Mobilization Processing tasks:

a. Determining if a Soldier has any injuries that may result in a future claim against the Government, including possible referral into the Physical Disability Evaluation System. If any such injuries are found, ensure that a line of duty investigation (DA Form 2173) is approved (see AR 600–20).

b. Reviewing a Soldier’s personnel records and duty position requirements to ensure that the Soldier’s special pay entitlements (BAS, BAH, COLA, OHA, FSA, imminent danger pay, hardship duty pay, special duty assignment pay, incentive pays, medical specialty pays, enlistment bonus, reenlistment bonus, and other special pays), if any, are recorded correctly.

c. Determining if a Soldier is or should be flagged.

d. Determining if a Soldier is required to have a DA Form 5305 and, if so, if the DA Form 5305 is current and approved.

e. Determining if a Soldier has a physical profile. (1) If the profile is temporary, the profile will be checked for compliance with the time limitations (including extensions) of AR 40–501. Soldiers with a temporary profile will continue to comply with its provisions for the duration of the profile. (2) An MAR2 is scheduled for Soldiers found to have a permanent category 3 or 4 physical profile without a record of retention by an MMRB or a PEB. Permanent profile 3

and 4 Soldiers are nondeployable without clearance from an MMRB or a PEB unless the MMRB convening authority waives this requirement.

f. Ensuring that enlisted Soldiers have a completed DA Form 4591 as outlined in AR 601–280.

Slide 17: Installation SRP Stations (2 of 2)

Focus: Tasks performed before departing for the Deployment Station.

*AR 600-8-101, Para 4-6 or FM 1-0, Para 4-3

Installation SRP Stations (2 of 2)

2. The following Level 2 SRP and mobilization processing tasks are performed before Soldiers depart for the deployment station:

a. Determining if a DD Form 362 or a DD Form 200 is required on a Soldier. If so, this item must be resolved before the Soldier departs. If the Soldier has responsibilities in administering a DD Form 362 or a DD Form 200, ensure that the case is resolved or that the responsibilities are transferred before the Soldier departs. All accountable property remaining at the home station for which the Soldier is signed must be inventoried and responsibility transferred before the Soldier departs.

b. Checking the expiration date of the profile of any Soldier found to have a temporary physical profile. A Soldier with a temporary profile may depart to a deployment station after the temporary disqualification expires or if the physician and the commander determine that the Soldier is deployable.

c. Initiating evaluation reports on Soldiers who are processing for a TCS move before they depart. To ensure that the submission time requirements of AR 623–3 and DA Pam 623–3 are met, the evaluation reports should be completed, signed, and submitted before these Soldiers depart, if possible.

d. Removing the names of all departing TCS Soldiers from the applicable DA Form

20

Page 24: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

e. Ensuring that all departing TCS Soldiers who receive their mail at the unit fill out and submit a DA Form 3955 to ensure the forwarding of their mail while they are away. Ensure that the DA Form 3955 has the names of individuals authorized to pick up the Soldier’s mail in his or her absence. Advise all other departing TCS Soldiers to decide if they need to fill out and submit a DA Form 3955 at the appropriate post office.

f. Counseling Soldiers who are processing for departure to a deployment station on the requirement to provide support payments to Family members remaining in the continental United States, per AR 608–99.

g. Ensuring that all medical practitioners are cleared by the nearest quality assurance and/or credentials office before departure to the deployment station.

3. A final review of the SRP check is made on every Soldier to ensure that all Soldier readiness non-deployment conditions were corrected or that the unit commander was notified.

4. The appropriate transactions to update the Army field personnel information system based on the SRP check findings are submitted.

5. A completed DA Form 7425 is filed in the Soldier’s personnel readiness file.

Slide 18: Readiness and Deployment Checklist (DA Form 7425)

1. Ensure that DA Form 7425 (Readiness and Deployment Checklist) and all applicable documents or automated information containing DA Form 7425 are forwarded for all USAR Soldiers ordered to active duty in support of a PRC or any level of mobilization.

21

Page 25: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

2. Whether for SRP or deployment processing, using DA Form 7425 serves as an internal control process per AR 11–2.

3. A Soldier’s personnel readiness file will form the core of the deployment packet, when needed, and will be the repository for DA Form 7425, which is completed during annual SRP, mandatory formal SRP at specified points in the SR process, and when deployment is imminent. 4. Unit commanders are responsible for ensuring SRP occurs at the unit level continually and ensure DA Form 7425 is completed prior to conducting of final SRP and verified by the installation not earlier than LAD–60.

5. DA Form 7425 and use of certain processing procedures are required for SRP on all Soldiers and for departures from the home station on a TCS move or a unit deployment.

6. DA Form 7425 guides Soldiers through the SRP, the additional requirements that must be met before departing the home station for transit to a deployment station, and the processing at the deployment station.

7. A copy of DA Form 7425 with the home-station portions completed will accompany every deploying Soldier to the deployment station.

8. Units will use DA Form 7425 for final SRP for units 120 to 60 days prior to AFPD (AFPD minus 120–60).

9. The installation will use DA Form 7425 for initial SRP for units 180 days prior to AFPD (AFPD–180) or 30 days prior to CTE (CTE–30).

Page 33: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

1. Personnel will be processed using the deployment checklist to manage processing readiness.

2. Soldiers deploying through an individual deployment site or CONUS replacement center will be reported through the automated system that supports the replacement operations process.

3. Deployment readiness requirements are:

a. Deploying Soldiers will meet medical fitness standards in accordance with AR 40–501 and the combatant commander’s requirements. The unit commander will make the decision to deploy a Soldier in accordance with DODI 6490.07 and combatant command (COCOM) published medical screening criteria. For Soldiers with any of the conditions listed in these authoritative documents, unit commanders must raise the decision to the first general officer in the chain of command. The general officer who recommends deployment must submit a waiver request through the COCOM surgeon to the combatant commander for approval. Some Soldiers, because of certain medical conditions, may require administrative consideration when assigned to combat areas or certain geographic areas. The role of the commander is to ensure that Soldiers do not violate their profiles and are assigned duties which they can perform without undue risk to health and safety. The decision to deploy a Soldier is the unit commanders to make. For Soldiers with any of the conditions listed in DODI 6490.07 or COCOM’s published medical screening criteria, a general officer recommending deployment must submit a waiver request through the COCOM surgeon to the combatant commander for approval. If it is determined that the deploying Soldier has a physical profile, the following must apply:

(1) Commanders will review all pertinent medical information in a Soldier’s profile, including, but not limited to, all active reasons for the profile (sections 2 and 3), any functional limitations (section 4), the medical instructions (section 5), and physical readiness training capabilities (section 7).

(2) If the Soldier has a permanent P3 or P4, the Soldier’s retainability should be adjudicated by a MAR2, MEB, or PEB.

(3) If the Soldier has been retained by a MMRD, MAR2, MEB, or PEB, the permanent profile information must be annotated in section 10e (Readiness) of DD Form 2766 (Adult Preventive and Chronic Care Flowsheet).

(4) If the Soldier has a permanent P3 or P4, which has not been adjudicated by a MMRB, MAR2, MEB, or PEB, then a MAR2 or MEB is initiated, per the process identified by the medical provider in section 4.

b. Soldiers will complete the DHAs, including the DD Form 2795 (Pre-Deployment Health Assessment), DD Form 2796 (Post Deployment Health Assessment (PDHA)), and DD Form 2900 (Post Deployment Health Reassessment (PDHRA)), for all deployments OCONUS (for example, operational deployments, training events,

humanitarian missions, and so forth) for greater than 30 days, to locations not supported by a fixed U.S. military treatment facility. Moreover, commanders are required to determine the environmental risks and the need for DHAs for all deployments of 30 days or less to any location, CONUS or OCONUS in accordance with DODI 6490.03. Commanders and S1s must ensure the proper scheduling of the Pre-DHA in accordance with DODI 6490.03 and DODI 6490.12. This includes completion of the Pre-DHA within 120 days from deployment and validation of the form. The Pre-Deployment Health Assessment, Post Deployment Health Assessment and Post Deployment Reassessment forms are completed on-line at https://rc.mods.army.mil. You will receive instructions and gain access to the appropriate system at the time of assessment. However, they are still available on the DOD website.

Deploying Unit Readiness Validation Process

31

Page 35: Coordinate the Deployment Cycle Support (DCS) … · Web viewOrganize Mobilization and Deployment Processing Support is a 3.0 hour lesson. The lesson begins by defining the Personnel

1. For deploying units, validation is the senior commander’s determination of the unit’s ability to accomplish the deployment mission. Individual Soldier readiness for deployment is as important as training and equipment readiness. The validation process is usually conducted in three phases:

a. Phase I. The unit commander’s unit status report suffices as the initial assessment. Commanders will no longer report the “available” status of personnel as it relates to unit readiness reporting, but will instead report the “deployable” status of all personnel through the Army’s readiness reporting system as it relates to unit personnel readiness status. Units will measure personnel readiness using three metrics: total deployable strength, Assigned MOS skills match, and the Deployable senior grade composite level.

b. Phase II. SRP accomplishes the readiness improvement portion of the validation process and ensures that all Soldiers meet the readiness requirements.

c. Phase III. The deployment processing activities described in this chapter will provide information for the installation final validation assessment and deployment decision making process.

2. The garrison chief, MPD, is the military personnel community’s representative on the installation validation board.

Slide 28: Unit/Brigade/Battalion Deployment Processing Requirements

1. Although the deployment checklist will guide deploying Soldiers through the process at both the unit and the installation levels, the brigade or battalion S1 will ensure that Soldiers receive all required briefings and provide them any required guidance.

2. Family members of deploying Soldiers will be provided an opportunity to receive an orientation briefing and/or printed materials on the mission, available Family readiness groups, and Family member benefits.

3. Each battalion staff activity or unit will accomplish at least the requirements on the deployment checklist.

4. The brigade or battalion S1 will ensure that all deploying citizen Soldiers have an opportunity to fill out and submit Standard Form (SF) 76 (Voter Registration and Absentee Ballot Request: Federal Post Card Application (FPCA)) so that the voting registrars back home will know where to send absentee ballots during the deployment.

5. The brigade or battalion S1 will perform appropriate checks to ensure that Soldiers process correctly.

6. Appropriate transactions will be completed on all Soldiers who deploy.

7. The battalion S2 will ensure Soldiers meet the security and/or background investigation required for deployment.

Soldiers will receive a legal briefing to discuss wills, powers of attorney, and other legal matters, and for those Soldiers who need to make or update a will, to designate a power of attorney, and/or to seek counseling in legal matters will be provided an opportunity to consult with legal assistance personnel about these matters. Wills and other legal documents will be drafted onsite when appropriate, or Soldiers will be referred to the legal assistance office.

2. All Soldiers deploying to the theater of operations will process through the CIF.

3. All Soldiers who do or not have registered POVs or privately-owned weapons will process through the Provost Marshal Office. Soldiers who have authorized POVs will be provided a secure storage area for their vehicles. DD Form 2506 (Vehicle Impoundment Report) will be used. Soldiers who have privately owned weapons will make proper disposition of their weapons before departure.

4. Chaplains may establish a processing station for deploying Soldiers. Unit chaplains will be available to Soldiers through their unit of assignment.

5. At the discretion of the commander, the inspector general may establish a processing station for deploying Soldiers.

6. The names, ranks, last four digits of social security numbers, and area of concentration or MOS of all Soldiers found to be non-deployable during deployment processing will be provided to the unit commander.

7. A Soldier is not deployable until all non-deployable conditions are resolved.

8. As a quality assurance measure, commanders will validate the deployability status of their Soldiers prior to finalizing and submitting the deployment manifest. Using electronic or manual systems, commanders will ensure that Soldiers have completed all SRP requirements and are deployable. A Soldier will be removed from the final deployment manifest until all requirements are satisfied. The following suggested techniques will ensure an effective and thorough SRP process that addresses all Soldier deployability concerns:

a. Use of computer software and a card reader in conjunction with the common access card at the beginning of SRP for check-in at each station and at the end for validation of completion.

b. Use of a simple electronic or manual spreadsheet designed to track the completion of SRP and recommendations from deployment processing checklists. Use of a report generated from the SRP database that details the deployability status of every Soldier that went through SRP.
