The 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. The four

Page 5: ALC Conduct Personnel Accountability Lesson Plan€¦  · Web viewConduct Personnel Accountability is a 6-hour lesson. The purpose of this lesson is to examine the considerations

Army Learning Areas serve as the framework to catalogue the 14 General Learning Outcomes.

The General Learning Outcomes (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.

GLO 1: Soldiers and Army Civilians proficient in leader attributes and competencies.

GLO 2: Soldiers and Civilians proficient in character, competence, and commitment as trusted Army Professionals.

GLO 3: Soldiers and Army Civilians demonstrate proficiency in mission command philosophy.

GLO 4: Soldiers and Army Civilians demonstrate proficiency in mission command leader and commander tasks.

GLO 5: Soldiers and Army Civilians demonstrate proficiency in mission command staff tasks.

GLO 6: Soldiers and Army Civilians demonstrate proficiency in the mission command system.

GLO 8: Soldiers and Army Civilians demonstrate proficiency in communications skills.

GLO 12: Soldiers and Army Civilians demonstrate proficiency in Army and joint doctrine.

GLO 14: Soldiers and Army Civilians are technically and tactically competent.

b. Concrete Experience (20 min): This phase is student-centered and observed by the instructor (not an active participant).

Slide: Tracking Deploying Personnel Focus:

Click on the link to the Tracking Deployed Personnel Video.

Use the video to discuss the difficulties often encountered with accountability and how we can overcome them.

c. Publish and Process (20 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.

Instructor Questions:

Q1. What happened? How did you feel about that?Q2. Who had a similar or different experience, and why? Were there any surprises?Q3. What did you learn from the group experience?

Questions the instructor may ask to assist in publishing: (Intent is to push critical thinking. Push students to defend their answers – allow students to hash out ideas).

Why did you site “item X” as an example? What does it mean to you? (This gets at affective learning and how students find the material relevant to their experiences).

Did you find that once you got one idea down, it triggered related ideas? (If yes, have them show examples. This shows the interrelatedness of the materials in a larger process).

Would you say you saw any themes as you developed examples? (e.g. events vs. processes)

After having talked about this, can you think of additional examples?

Instructor Note: The purpose of this lesson is not to impart knowledge and move on – it is intended to get students thinking about the importance of conducting personnel accountability. There are very few slides in the lesson; however, there are multiple opportunities for discussion. While topic slides do introduce knowledge and provide a focus, they are primarily designed to start discussions and constantly engage students, even in the GNI portion. The information covered in this lesson is basic, and even students with limited HR background can prepare for the lesson by completing the reading assignments and sharing their personal experiences. All students have had some experience with the personnel accountability during their careers and should contribute to discussions. Encourage students to draw on their experiences in past organizations and previous deployment(s), integrating Contemporary Operating Environment (COE) variables, as appropriate.

Slide: Personnel Accountability ObjectiveFocus:

REFER STUDENTS TO FM 1-0, para. 3-45 & 3-47

Page 9: ALC Conduct Personnel Accountability Lesson Plan€¦  · Web viewConduct Personnel Accountability is a 6-hour lesson. The purpose of this lesson is to examine the considerations

We will now state the objective of personnel accountability:

1. Personnel Accountability is the by-name management of the location and duty status of every person assigned or attached to a unit. It includes tracking the movement of personnel as they arrive at, and depart from, a unit for duty.

2. Personnel accountability includes the by-name recording of specific data on arrivals and departures from units (e.g., unit of assignment, location), duty status changes or grade changes, Assignment Eligibility and Availability (AEA) Codes, and MOS/Specialty Codes, etc.

Instructor Note: Ask the students if Personnel Accountability can affect the commander’s decisions and the unit’s mission. Encourage students to share real-world experiences that will help clarify these definitions. Ensure students fully understand the objective.

Slide: Personnel Accountability PrinciplesFocus:

Refer students to FM 1-0, figure 1-1

Refer students to FM 1-0, para. 1-13 & para. 3-46

Instructor Note: Have students understand that we now have Four HR Core Competencies and Personnel Accountability (PA) falls under the sub category of Man the Force.

Personnel Accountability is the by-name management of the location and duty status of every person assigned or attached to a unit. It includes tracking the movement of personnel as they arrive at, and depart from, a unit for duty. For deployed units, this includes maintaining visibility of individuals as they enter, transit, and depart theater for reasons that range from normal Rest and Recuperation (R&R) to treatment at a medical treatment facility (MTF). Battalion and brigade S-1 Personnel Readiness teams are at the tip of the spear for managing the automation systems that support Army-wide personnel accountability and require a team of HR professionals who are competent with automated HR systems and understand the personnel accountability process.

Page 10: ALC Conduct Personnel Accountability Lesson Plan€¦  · Web viewConduct Personnel Accountability is a 6-hour lesson. The purpose of this lesson is to examine the considerations

Personnel accountability is one of the most important functions a battalion or brigade S-1 performs on a continuing basis regardless of location or environment. Data accuracy is critical to the personnel accountability process. Promptly entering personnel accountability changes allows HR leaders at all levels to have timely and accurate personnel accountability data and enables S-1s to balance MOSs within brigades, battalions, and companies.

Personnel accountability is the key factor used for conducting strength reporting.

Slide: Personnel Accountability RequirementsFocus:

REFER STUDENTS TO FM 1-0, para. 3-50

We will discuss the requirements of personnel Accountability:The HR Authorization Report (formerly known as the Unit Manning Roster) serves as the source document for battalion and brigade S-1s, reflecting the slotting of assigned personnel. Other personnel accountability tasks include:

1. Account for military personnel individually in DTAS and eMILPO / RLAS / SIDPERS.

2. Collect, process, and sort critical information about Soldiers, units, and DoD civilians.

3. Track and account for transiting Soldiers in DTAS, especially as R&R operations and redeployment operations commence.

Slide: Personnel Accountability Process

Focus:

Refer students to FM 1-0, para 3-48 and Figure 3-3

Battalion and brigade S-1 Personnel Readiness sections are at the Tip of The Spear for Army-wide personnel accountability execution and require a team of HR professionals who are competent with automated HR systems and understand the personnel accountability process. S-1 section leaders need to ensure their Soldiers are trained to work in a deployed or austere environment. This slide depicts the personnel accountability process and the PA flow for data and individuals.

Note that at Division-level and above, HR Personnel Accountability shifts from reporting to monitoring. Additionally, the HRSC has the overall responsibility for DTAS management that we will be discussing later in greater detail.

Slide: Personnel Accountability ResponsibilitiesFocus:

Break the class up into 4 groups and have them create a list of personnel accountability responsibilities at each of the levels on the slide.

Once list is created they will have a representative brief the class.

Refer students to FM 1-0, Chapter 7, para. 7-6 thru 7-11

PA is the most critical of all HR theater opening tasks. It is also the primary task conducted during the HR portion of the RSOI process. The most crucial task in the PA process is establishing a deployed personnel database and infrastructure that has the ability to capture accountability data on personnel entering the theater. This includes accounting for all personnel participating as members of the early entry element. Careful and detailed planning for accountability of these personnel is crucial as they include personnel and units involved in the RSOI process, personnel opening APOEs or SPOEs and coordinating with the AFSB to account for CAAF, when directed, participating in theater opening operations. Prior to deployment to the theater, all personnel involved as database administrators should be identified, designated, and trained on theater PA systems.

To establish initial Personnel Accountability operations, personnel from each of the following organizations/units are required:

1. The ASCC G-1/AG has the responsibility to plan, establish policy, set priorities, and manage PA for the theater. The ASCC G-1/AG also identifies internal and external HR support requirements for the theater and coordinates with the combatant commander to ensure Army PA policies are in sync with Joint policies.

2. Actual establishment of the initial theater database is the responsibility of the HRSC (PA/PRM/PIM). The HRSC establishes HR database nodes, initiates theater database hierarchy, and continues the coordination to maintain projected personnel flow rates with CONUS APOD, CRCs, and Air Force planners. They will also provide technical guidance to the TG PAT and the HROB in the ESC or Sustainment Brigade. During initial HR operations, the HRSC element may co-locate with the HROB.

3. The function of the TG PAT is to establish communications nodes with the HRSC element for PA and establishment of a PPC at the primary APOE. The PPC is

16

Page 17: ALC Conduct Personnel Accountability Lesson Plan€¦  · Web viewConduct Personnel Accountability is a 6-hour lesson. The purpose of this lesson is to examine the considerations

established at the most favorable location based on projected flow rates in the area of the APOE. Once the PPC is established, PA and database integration of all personnel entering the theater becomes the responsibility of the TG PAT and supporting HR Company. More than one TG PAT will be required if multiple inter-theater APOEs become active.

4. HROB personnel also play an important role in theater HR opening operations. The HROB is the integrating link between the HRSC, the TG PAT and assigned or attached HR units (HR Company/HR Platoon). The HROB, as part of the ESC or Sustainment Brigade SPO, not only provides technical guidance to HR units, but coordinates and synchronizes the execution of logistical and other non-HR support required to ensure HR units can accomplish the PA mission. For example, incoming flights must be met and transported to the PPC for accountability; transit personnel must be fed, billeted, after processing personnel must be transported, etc. These non-HR specific tasks are not part of the PA process, nor do HR units have the responsibility or capabilities to accomplish or coordinate these non-HR tasks. These non-HR tasks must be coordinated with the theater opening Sustainment Brigade for execution of specific tasks.

Slide: Large Scale Combat OperationsFocus:

Refer students to FM 3-0, Para 1-4

FM 3-0, Appendix A Para A-1, Table A1-A3

Note: Refer Students to FM 3-0, Operations, and notify the students of the below.

FM 3-0, Operations, covers large scale combat operations. Once FM 1-0, Human Resources Support is updated and FM 4-0, Sustainment Operations is implemented, they will align with FM 3-0. Therefore, some of the information presented during this course may change. Until regulations change, the information presented is valid.

17

Page 18: ALC Conduct Personnel Accountability Lesson Plan€¦  · Web viewConduct Personnel Accountability is a 6-hour lesson. The purpose of this lesson is to examine the considerations

Note: Refer students to paragraph 1-4, to understand FM 3-0’s description of Large-scale combat operations.

Large-scale combat operations are intense, lethal, and brutal. Their conditions include complexity, chaos, fear, violence, fatigue, and uncertainty. Future battlefields will include noncombatants, and they will be crowded in and around large cities. Enemies will employ conventional tactics, terror, criminal activity, and information warfare to further complicate operations. To an ever-increasing degree, activities in the information environment are inseparable from ground operations. Large-scale combat operations present the greatest challenge for Army forces.

Note: Notify Students that even though the following is not annotated in the regulation, they have to understand their duties and responsibilities for personnel strength reporting.

During LSCO, Personnel Accountability is a continuous process that is refined during SHAPE to support the assigned mission and continue throughout all strategic roles. Effective and efficient Personnel Strength Reporting Data Operations, contributes to units’ ability in executing their assigned mission. Therefore, proactive planning and preparation are the key to success.

Note: Review the definition of SHAPE to highlight its importance during LSCO. Emphasize that all the strategic roles are important; however, SHAPE will be reviewed because it ensures the successful execution of the other roles.

Additionally, notify students that analog/disconnect HR operations may occur during LSCO. Students should contact higher command and obtain analog/disconnected operations requirements (SOP, reporting format, etc.). They will develop internal SOPs and templates and disseminate to subordinate units to ensure they are prepared to execute disconnected strength reporting if required. SOPs can be adjusted once official guidance has been published.

Shape: paragraph 1-62.

Army operations to shape bring together all the activities intended to promote regional stability and to set conditions for a favorable outcome in the event of a military confrontation. Army operations to shape help dissuade adversary activities designed to achieve regional goals short of military conflict. As part of operations to shape, the Army provides trained and ready forces to geographic combatant commanders (GCCs) in support of their theater campaign plan. The theater army and subordinate Army forces assist the GCC in building partner capacity and capability and promoting stability across the AOR. Army operations to shape are continuous throughout a GCC's AOR and occur before, during, and after a joint operation within a specific operational area.

18

Page 19: ALC Conduct Personnel Accountability Lesson Plan€¦  · Web viewConduct Personnel Accountability is a 6-hour lesson. The purpose of this lesson is to examine the considerations

Refer Students to FM 3-0, Appendix A, Command and Support Relationships.

Note: Highlight to the students that your organization’s command and support relationships with other organizations are vital during LSCO. Depending on the deployment location and the mission the unit is supporting, units command relationships may change. Working with your unit’s S3/G3, can assist S1/G1 in identifying the reporting hierarchy (upper/lower echelons). An OPORD will identify a unit’s reporting hierarchy during a contingency operations.

A-1. Establishing clear command and support relationships is a key aspect of any operation. Large-scale combat operations present unique and complex challenges that demand well defined command and support relationships among units. These relationships establish responsibilities and authorities between subordinate and supporting units. Some command and support relationships limit the commander's authority to prescribe additional relationships. Knowing the inherent responsibilities of each command and support relationship allows commanders to effectively organize their forces and helps supporting commanders understand their unit's role in the organizational structure.

Review Table A1-A3, Command Relationships.

Slide: Theater Redeployment OperationsFocus:

Refer students to FM 1-0, para 7-32 and 7-33

Throughout the redeployment process, the most critical of all HR functions is Personnel Accounting. Accountability includes all personnel who are listed in the theater database and includes Soldiers, Joint and multinational personnel, DoD civilians, and contractors.

The following organizations have responsibilities for the redeployment of personnel:

19

Page 20: ALC Conduct Personnel Accountability Lesson Plan€¦  · Web viewConduct Personnel Accountability is a 6-hour lesson. The purpose of this lesson is to examine the considerations

1. ASCC G-1/AG. Develop the theater-level plan in coordination with the HRSC and the ESC HROB. The redeployment plan will include unit and command responsibilities: processing procedures for Joint, DoD civilians, and contractor personnel; and specific procedures for processing for RC soldiers who are demobilizing.

2. HRSC. Establish and maintain the theater database; coordinate with the ESC HROB to identify points of departures; how HR support will be provided during the drawdown; identifying HR units and planned redeployment schedules; and if necessary, developing a plan to sustain any residual force for post conflict activities.

3. ESC/Sustainment Brigade HROB. Develop a redeployment schedule for redeploying HR units while simultaneously ensuring Personnel Accounting is maintained. Ensure HR units redeploying late in the plan have the necessary communications and logistics support.

4. HR Company:a. Provide HR unit redeploying recommendations to the HROB.b. Provide PAT coverage at designated points of departure.c. Provide common access card support at departure points.d. Consider using CLTs from departing units as augmentation to PAT or the

Plans and Operations section.

Slide: Personnel Accountability Transactions ActivityFocus:

Have students open up the eMILPO training database.

Walk students through completing an arrival, duty status change, and departure transaction.

Instructor Note: Inform the students that during this portion of the lesson they will receive a general overview of personnel accountability transactions that can be performed within the Personnel Accounting functions of eMILPO.

e. Develop (10 min): This phase is student-centered and instructor facilitated.

NOTE: Instructors now initiate a student discussion of how material in the lesson plan will be used in their future assignments. Although instructors can guide students in the discussion, the answers ultimately belong to the students. The intent is that students recognize that value of understanding the personnel accountability in both garrison and deployed environments and the various components of that support.

Here are some ideas that instructors can inject into the discussion:

Students in the concrete exercise should have identified many of the primary or related topics brought up in the lesson. Has this lesson helped them see linkages between all the topics?

Some tasks/processes are conducted sequentially while others are simply related and may occur before, after, or at the same time as others. Do students see how the relationships between different events can create opportunities or limitations in trying to accomplish missions in a time constrained environment?
