INTRODUCTION: Today we are going to discuss Perform Personnel Accountability Functions. Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio is: 1:36 Time of Instruction: 5 mins Media: Large Group Instruction MOTIVATOR: HR professionals have a critical role in PA Operations. HR professionals manage PA Operations across the full spectrum of conflict. They are responsible for managing, integrating, and documenting personnel into and out of the theater database using technology such as Deployed Theater Accountability Software (DTAS). HR platoons and PA teams, while focusing on HR tasks, also play a key role in coordinating life support for transiting personnel. The ability to accomplish the PA mission critically affects the sustainment capabilities of the deployed force. INSTRUCTIONAL LEAD-IN. Battalion and brigade S-1 Personnel Readiness teas 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.

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. Everyone is responsible for safety. 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 event of electrical storm, you will be instructed to power down equipment. RISK ASSESSMENT LEVEL: Low ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: 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 FM 3-34.5 Environmental Considerations and GTA 05-08-002 ENVIRONMENTAL-RELATED RISK ASSESSMENT. Instructional Guidance: Before presenting this lesson, instructors must thoroughly prepare by studying this lesson and identified reference materials. 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). Conditions: With an awareness of the Operational Environment (OE) variables and actors. EVALUATION. You will be given a graded end of module examination which will include Coordinate Personnel Accountability Functions. A passing score on this end of module examination is 70% for AC students and 60% International Students. 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 Army Learning Areas serve as the framework to catalogue the 14 General Learning Outcomes. 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. ALA: Mission Command encompasses how Army commanders and leaders apply the foundational MC philosophy with the MC WfF. Together, the MC philosophy and MC WfF guide, integrate, and synchronize Army operations throughout the conduct of ULO. There are four GLOs for the Mission Command ALA. GLO 6: Soldiers and Army Civilians demonstrate proficiency in the mission command system. This includes Common Operating Picture and Mission Command Information Systems. ALA: Professional Competence is the demonstrated technical and tactical proficiency in Army and joint doctrine largely revolving around the concept of ULO codified in ADP 3-0. There are three GLOs for the Professional Competence ALA. GLO 13: Soldiers and Army Civilians support Army policies, programs, and processes; includes Understanding and contributing to Army Systems that manage, develop, and transform the Army. GLO 14: Soldiers and Army Civilians are technically and tactically competent; includes Branch and Career Management Field proficiency, Career Programs, Series Technical Certifications, and Warfighting Skills.
HR ENDURING PRINCIPLES Integration Tasks and functions Systems and processes Organizations Unity of purpose and effort Responsiveness Right support to the right place at the right time Resources, capabilities and information Synchronization Effectively aligned Time, space, purpose Maximum readiness and operational capabilities Competency Based Performance Oriented SHOW SLIDE 3: HR ENDURING PRINCIPLES HR support uses a competency-based and performance-oriented strategy guided by HR enduring principles that assure a higher quality, more diverse and ready Total Army enabled by effective HR systems and agile policies. HR leaders have a responsibility to not only understand the importance of their efforts and unit mission, but also the missions of all their supported and supporting units. To meet the challenges of current and future operations, leaders are guided by six interdependent enduring principles of HR support that must be thoughtfully weighted and applied during the planning, execution, and assessment of missions. These six principles are: Integration. Integration maximizes efficiency by joining all elements of HR support (tasks, functions, systems, processes, and organizations) with operations ensuring unity of purpose and effort to accomplish the mission. Anticipation. Anticipation relies on professional judgment resulting from experience, knowledge, education, intelligence, and intuition to foresee events and requirements in order to initiate the appropriate HR support. Responsiveness. Responsiveness is providing the right support to the right place at the right time. It is the ability to meet ever-changing requirements on short notice and to apply HR support to meet changing circumstances during current and future operations. It involves identifying, accumulating, and maintaining sufficient resources, capabilities, and relevant information to enable commanders to make rapid decisions. Synchronization. Synchronization is ensuring HR support operations are effectively aligned with military actions in time, space, and purpose to produce maximum relative readiness and operational capabilities at a decisive place and time. It includes ensuring the HR operational process is planned, executed, and assessed. Timeliness. Timeliness ensures decision makers have access to relevant HR information and analysis that support current and future operations. It also supports a near real-time common operational picture across all echelons of HR support. Accuracy. Accuracy of information impacts not only on decisions made by commanders, but impacts Soldiers and their Families. For Soldiers, accurate information impacts their careers, retention, compensation, promotions, and general well being. For Family members, accuracy of information is critical for next of kin (NOK) notification if a Soldier becomes a casualty. HR providers must understand the dynamic nature of HR system’s architecture and the fact that data input at the lowest level has direct impact on decisions being made at the highest level. Anticipation Project requirements Intuitive nature Experience, knowledge and education based Timeliness Relevant HR information Thorough analysis Near real-time common operational picture Accuracy Attention-to-detail oriented Understand the dynamics of data input to HR systems
HR FOCUS Agile and Clear HR Policies Effective HR Practices Encompassing and flexible Effective HR Practices Streamlined, intuitive, stable, and predictable Competency-based Skills Align responsibilities, knowledge, skills, attributes Outcome-oriented Actions The ends drive the means Self-Development Competent and confident HR Leaders SHOW SLIDE 4: FOCUS of hr operations Meeting the goal of providing efficient and effective HR support relies on multi-functional HR leaders who focus their knowledge and skills in support of the Army’s most important asset – its people. Only those who think strategically and work collaboratively, while inspiring and leading Soldiers and civilians can achieve desired outcomes. In all areas, HR personnel should focus on the following: Agile and clear HR policies. HR policies must be clear, encompassing, and flexible enough to apply to the greatest number of personnel and address the widest range of circumstances. They must be adaptable enough to be able to guide and inform personnel in complex and changeable circumstances. Effective HR practices. HR practices that emanate from the policy-level should be streamlined, intuitive, and able to effect stable and predictable process results. Competency-based skills. HR personnel must be competent and able to accomplish HR core competencies and key functions. Competencies align the responsibilities, knowledge, skills and attributes needed to fulfill mission requirements. Outcome-oriented actions. In an environment that measures HR performance, the emphasis is on successful outcomes in fulfillment of mission priorities. While it is important to have effective HR processes and practices in place, it is critical that the ends drive the means. Self development. Self development is one of three domains of leader development and requires leaders to display discipline and a desire for excellence in lifelong learning. Using assessments, HR leaders must invest the time to become competent and confident in HR operations.
HR CORE COMPETENCIES Core Competency Key Functions SHOW SLIDE 5: HR CORE COMPENTENCIES NOTE: Have students understand that we now have FOUR HR Core Competencies and that PA falls under the sub category of Man the Force. FM 1-0, Para 3-50. The personnel accountability process is crucial to the Army’s entire personnel information management system and impacts all HR core competencies. Personnel accountability is not only to be maintained by units, but must be maintained as personnel enter, transit, and depart the theater. 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. FM 1-0, Para 1-8, Figure 1-1
PERSONNEL ACCOUNTABILITY FM 1-0: Personnel Accountability is the by-name management of the location and duty status of every person assigned or attached to a unit. Effective Personnel Accountability depends on timely, accurate, and complete personnel data/information entered correctly and updated as promptly as possible. Soldiers Army Civilians Contractors Authorized to Accompany the Force (CAAF) Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational personnel (JIIM) when directed SHOW SLIDE 6: PERSONNEL ACCOUNTABILITY Learning Step / Activity 1. Define Personnel Accountability Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:36 Time of Instruction: 45 mins Media: Large Group Instruction NOTE: Direct class to location of bulk of information regarding PA in the regulation. Discuss PA in regards to PA for transiting personnel thru the different Intra-theater and Inter-theater APODs/APOEs/SPOEs/SPODs FM 1-0, Para 1-9. HR units and staffs perform the core competencies and key functions at theater-level and below. Not all HR key functions are executed at each level of command. For example, personnel accountability is conducted at the S-1 level and monitored at division and above levels. Commanders and HR leaders should use this Field Manual (FM) and the AUTL as a reference tool for developing general mission essential task lists, core capabilities mission essential tasks, operational orders, and SOPs. FM 1-0, Para 3-45. PA 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. The Army’s personnel accountability system is designed to account for: • Soldiers • Army civilians • CAAF • Joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational personnel when directed FM 1-0, Para 3-46. 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. FM 1-0, Para 3-47. 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. 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. Figure 3-4 depicts the personnel accountability process and the PA flow for data and individuals. FM 1-0, Para 3-48. For accountability of CAAF and other theater designated contractor personnel, the Synchronized Predeployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT) is designated as the Joint Enterprise contractor management and accountability system. SPOT maintains by-name accountability for all CAAF and theater designated contractors. The CAAF Coordination Cell, attached to the Army field support brigade (AFSB), assists in establishing and maintaining the tracking and accountability of all CAAF and other contractors as directed. The AFSB Logistic Branch uses SPOT and the Joint Asset Movement Management System (JAMMS) to accomplish their CAAF accountability and tracking missions, and incorporates contractor numbers in their reports to the HRSC and ASCC G-1/AG. The ASCC G-1/AG is responsible for developing PA and reporting policies for contractors. The HRSC, G-1/AGs, and S-1s execute these policies. G-1/AGs monitor the accountability process to ensure subordinate units are executing it properly. See ATP 4-91, Army field support brigade and ATTP 4-10, Operational Contract Support, for additional information on SPOT. FM 1-0, Para 3-49. Army commanders maintain accountability of Army Civilians, CAAF, AAFES employees, and ARC workers assigned or attached in support of contingency operations. These personnel are entered into DTAS upon arrival in theater. FM 1-0, Para 3-50. The PA process is crucial to the Army’s entire PIM system and impacts all HR core competencies. PA is not only maintained by units, but must be maintained as personnel enter, transit, and depart the theater. 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 PA tasks include: Account for military personnel individually in DTAS, eMILPO, RLAS, and SIDPERS-ARNG. Collect, process, and sort critical information about Soldiers, units, CAAF including other theater designated contractor personnel, and DOD Civilians. Track and account for transiting personnel in DTAS, especially as R&R operations and redeployment operations commence. FM 1-0, Para 3-50. The Army has an automated personnel accountability software package (DTAS) for use in a deployed theater. In the event DTAS is not available (due to lack of bandwidth or other issues) manual reports can be used such as the PERSTAT, Personnel Summary (PERSUM), and Personnel Requirements Report (PRR). Personnel Accountability is the key factor used for conducting Strength Reporting FM 1-0, Chapter 3

Collect, reconcile, correlate, analyze, and present critical PA information to the ASCC commander and personnel readiness managers. Establish and provide oversight for CLTs at MTFs in the AO (executed by the COD of the HRSC). Conduct reassignments to meet operational requirements (coordinate with subordinate G-1/AG and S-1s and HRC). Assist with a directed Personnel Asset Inventory for any subordinate unit when the unit’s strength imbalance between eMILPO, RLAS, SIDPERS-ARNG, and TAPDB is 2% or more or when DTAS and unit PERSTATs are out of balance IAW theater policy. CORPS/DIVISION G-1/AG 3-54. The Corps/Division G-1/AG PA responsibilities include: Monitor deployed PA system to ensure compliance with ASCC guidance and timelines. Resolve corps and division PA issues (in coordination with the HRSC, brigade S-1, and appropriate HROB). Ensure the synchronization of timely vertical flow of automated personnel information from battalions, brigades, and separate units. Coordinate with the HRSC to establish an automated PA system that aligns assigned and attached element UICs with supporting S-1s. Ensure arriving battalions and separate units provide copies of their flight or sea manifests to the appropriate TG PAT at the port of debarkation. Perform those responsibilities of the ASCC G-1/AG when serving as the Army Force. Maintain liaison and flow of PA information from CLTs at Corps and Division MTFs and hospitals. Notify subordinate G-1/AGs and S-1s of all pending and potential task organization changes. BRIGADE S-1/STB S-1 3-55. The brigade and STB S-1 PA responsibilities include: Operate a manifesting cell at ports of embarkation, collect manifest data at ports of debarkation, and enter those personnel into the theater database. Maintain 100% accountability for assigned or attached personnel, to include replacements, RTD Soldiers, R&R personnel, individual redeployers, Army Civilians, CAAF including other theater designated contractor personnel, and multi-national personnel, as required. Ensure the brigade/STB meets higher HQs PA policies and timelines. Collect, summarize, analyze, update, and report by-name personnel strength information using SIPRNET or NIPRNET, in the directed format. Ensure the Rear Detachment maintains accountability of non-deployed personnel and that their deployment non-available codes and duty status changes are promptly entered into eMILPO, RLAS, and SIDPERS-ARNG. Process and monitor assignment eligibility and availability code information for assigned and attached personnel. Process duty status change information (i.e., present for duty (PDY) to wounded-in-action (WIA), killed-in-action (KIA), and MIA), and update appropriate databases and HR systems. Process information on replacements and RTD personnel, as required, into the appropriate database. Track transiting unit personnel (e.g., leave and R&R), and local changes in location/base camp. Reconcile manual with automated strength information; identify and resolve discrepancies by submitting the appropriate transaction. Update automated AO DTAS, as required. Coordinate CLTs, MA, hospitals, and military police for information on casualties, patient tracking, and stragglers and update the database as appropriate. Coordinate connectivity for secure and non-secure voice and data systems with the battalion S-6 and brigade S-1, where appropriate. Manage HR databases and systems access for the brigade. Ensure S-1 personnel have the appropriate security clearances, access, and permissions to the appropriate HR databases and systems required to perform their mission. BATTALION S-1 SECTION 3-56. Battalion S-1 PA responsibilities include: Maintain 100% accountability for assigned or attached personnel, to include replacements, RTD Soldiers, R&R personnel, Army Civilians, CAAF including other theater designated contractor personnel, and multi-national personnel, as required. Collect, summarize, analyze, update, and report by name personnel strength information using SIPRNET or NIPRNET, in the directed format.

See Paragraph 3-53: Here are some personnel accountability responsibilities at the various echelons on command, including the SRC 12 supporting structure.
Elements of PA Regarding Fixed/Rotary Wing Flights 3. Return to Duty - Soldiers and civilians returning to duty from medical treatment facilities 1. Reception Initial Support, coordination, and management Includes physical reception and accountability Coordinates for the life support and onward movement 4. Rest and Recuperation Provides Soldiers and units an opportunity to rest and recuperate at a secure location Combatant Cdr may establish a chargeable leave program 2. Replacements Individual include Soldiers who were unable to deploy with their units Unit include total units replacing units NRP are any personnel requiring transportation to or from operational areas other than those assigned to a specific unit. SHOW SLIDE 16: ELEMENTS OF PA REGARDING FIXED/ROTARY WING FLIGHTS NOTE: Give examples of each element, and ask the students if any of them have experience in each area. Reception: talk about how the Liaison Officer (LNO) is usually responsible for a lot of the coordination during the reception stage. The Advance Party (ADVON) personnel also work very closely with the LNO’s. Replacements: focus on individual replacements and as a side note, let the students know that it would be wise to have a POC roster for all the units on the FOB so that when replacements come in, they have good contact info to assist them at their unit. RTD: ensure students understand the level of the casualty will determine how their flow will be once they are deemed RTD. Discuss the Joint Patient Tracking Application and have students look it up in the regulation. R&R: discuss with the students the number of days authorized for a 12-month deployment (15 days) and 15-month deployment (18 days). In addition, discuss with students, “What if Soldiers don’t want R&R, what if there aren’t enough seats, what other option do Soldiers have? Qatar pass, on the FOB pass, pass to see their spouse at another FOB, etc. Also ensure that the chain of command counsels these Soldiers in writing so that if any IG complaint comes about regarding not taking R&R, it’s in writing. Redeployment: discuss with the students how the Active Component manages the personnel flow back to it’s home station, i.e. FT Bragg, etc. The Reserve Component personnel manage the flow to demob station and then to home station, so they have on extra step in the process. In addition, during redeployment timeframe, PA teams may need assistance due to the high volume of personnel transiting thru the APODs, so different S1 sections may be tasked to provide Soldiers to assist the PA teams during that timeframe. 5. Redeployment Manages the personnel flow to home station Support the reconstitution of units to pre-mobilization levels Ensure sufficient theater PA units are available to conduct the redeployment process
PA Critical Requirements Soldier Readiness Processing - Meet all deployment processing requirements. Personnel Accountability & Strength Reporting - The most critical R5 task Coordinating Execution of Sustainment Support - Transportation support requirement - Logistical and life support issues SHOW SLIDE 17: PA CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS NOTE: Ask students if they have experience in any of the three critical requirements and how it affects them. SRP: talk about how some APODs have personnel Soldiers performing different tasks associated with the SRP process, i.e. making CAC cards, I.D. tags, updating DD93/SGLV, etc. PASR: talk about the importance of PASR thru flight manifests and what if an aircraft were to be shot down, or crash, how would we know who was on the flight. Sustainment Support: talk about coordinating for transportation issues with the Movement Control Team (MCT) and how they have KBR contracted civilians that work for them and how each contracted civilian has a “Statement/Scope of Work” that they must fulfill. Either the MCT Commander should have a copy of that, as well as the Contracting Officials for the FOB they are located at. In addition, if the students are at a large base, i.e. Bagram or LSA Anaconda, they can coordinate a lot of support thru the Mayors Cell. It’s typically one unit that deals with all the logistical and life support issues on the FOB. They also have a lot of contractors that work with them as well.

Identify Manual PIM Requirements And Management Tools Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio: 1:36 Time of Instruction: 1 hr Media: Large Group Instruction a. The Integrated Total Army Personnel Data Base (ITAPDB) integrates individual records from four physical TAPDB data bases into a single physical data base. Ownership rules determined by the three Army components are applied, so ITAPDB shows which component “owns” the Soldier at the time the records are loaded. To further clarify why manual data must be provided from the deployed S-1 to the RC garrison support agencies, shown on the slide is another way to look at the database relationships between the components. b. ITAPDB is the corporate-level data repository for all components which is maintained by the U.S. Army Personnel Information Systems Directorate (PERSINSD) at HRC. The ITAPDB is completely refreshed daily by the component TAPDB (AO, AE, R, and G). The ITAPDB can only maintain one record per social security number at a time. c. An agreement has been made that the ITAPDB will only receive inputs from the database which controls the Soldier all of the time; therefore, ITAPDB receives data on RC Soldiers only from TAPDB-R and TAPDB-G, whether the Soldier is mobilized or not. eMILPO, which is the system of record while mobilized, does not provide data to RC TAPDBs, so as S-1s submit status changes in eMILPO to update the TAPDB AO and TAPDB AE databases, identical transactions must also be performed by the reservist’s garrison HR provider to ensure the mobilized Soldier’s status is accurately recorded in the ITAPDB. During de-mobilization, an information bundle for AR Soldiers can be sent from the AO or AE database back to the TAPDB-R to ease the demobilization process; however, that transfer must be done manually for ARNG Soldiers. By policy, the TAPDB-G will not receive an electronic transfer from the TAPDB AO and TAPDB AE databases. NOTE: Inform the students that records for mobilized RC Soldiers are maintained in the TAPDB-AO and AE databases for 130 days following the demobilization date.

Personnel Asset Inventory (PAI) (1 of 3) Objective of the PAI is to maintain timely, error-free Personnel Accountability and to involve commanders at all levels in the strength accounting and reporting process Actual PAI conducted at the lowest and most practical administrative level, consistent with the overall organization structure (normally UIC level) Pre-PAI Actions include verifying the accuracy of all Soldiers on the eMILPO AAA-162 report and submitting database system updates as required Commanders of widely dispersed units may delegate conducting the PAI to the senior Army person at the dispersed location SHOW SLIDE 37: PERSONNEL ASSET INVENTORY (PAI) NOTE: Gauge the class and ask what “pre-PAI” actions were conducted prior to the actual PAI due date. Some examples you should hear are: fixing discrepancies in eMILPO, gathering pertinent documentation to account for everyone not able to attend the PAI, doing a pre-scrub with Command Teams to ensure a coordinated effort prior to the event. AR 600-8-6, Chapter 5
Personnel Asset Inventory (PAI) (2 of 3) Unit Personnel Accountability Report (AAA-162) is the baseline document for conducting the PAI; supported by the Unit Commander’s Finance/Pay Reports (UCFR/UCPR) Commanders will reconcile personnel data information on the AAA-162 with an actual physical muster formation of assigned and attached Soldiers All Soldiers will be accounted for to include absences such as: - Assigned-not-joined - Hospitalization - Leave/Pass - Temporary Duty - AWOL/Confined - Sick in Quarters - Essential Duties - Missing SHOW SLIDE 38: PERSONNEL ASSET INVENTORY (PAI) NOTE: After discussing the last bullet, ask class if a Soldier were excused from a PAI if they were on Staff Duty or a CQ runner. The answer would be “NO,” because they can have someone cover down for them while they verify their information. AR 600-8-6, Chapter 5

AR 600-8-6, Chapter 5, Para 5–7. Rules for conducting a personnel asset inventory a. A PAI (physical muster formation) will be conducted— (1) At change of command. For the purpose of conducting a PAI, a unit commander is defined as any company commander, battalion commander, commander or senior Army person of a U.S. Army element, or Army chief of an agency or activity having a unique UPC that has assigned Army personnel. (The key in determining if an activity other than a company or battalion should conduct a PAI is whether or not a unit is assigned a unique UPC.) (See para 5–3.) (a) If possible, the departing commander and the new commander will jointly conduct the PAI. The departing commander will not be allowed to depart or PCS until unit personnel strength has been reconciled; all assigned and attached soldiers are accounted for; and required SIDPERS transactions have been processed. (b) If the commander is lost due to death, extended hospitalization (60 days or more), operational relief, or a similar reason, a PAI will be completed by the acting commander or new commander within 15 days after assuming command. (2) Fourteen calendar days prior to a unit move to a different duty station; a unit inactivation, discontinuance or re-designation; or a change in servicing PPA. (3) At the direction of the chain of command. Commanders at any level may direct a PAI whenever they determine one is required. (4) When the unit strength variance is 2 percent or more after validation of the personnel Strength Zero Balance Report. AR 600-8-6, Chapter 5
