INTRODUCTION. It is critical to the success of other organization to be able to implement deployed personnel Strength Reporting efficiently and effectively. The strength reporting process provides commanders with a snapshot of the personnel component of their combat power and capabilities. Every level of command develops their requirements for data elements reflected on the strength report.
NOTE: Facilitate discussion to determine the students’ prior knowledge and experience with SR. Almost all students should have some experience. It is a fundamental HR task, but one that HR professionals often have a difficult time getting accurate.
MOTIVATOR: Properly manning units and reporting personnel strength is vital to assuring the fulfillment of missions as a strategic element of national policy; it enhances predictability; and ensures that leaders have the people necessary to perform assigned tasks. Personnel Strength Reporting impacts the effectiveness of all Army organizations, regardless of size, and affects the ability to successfully accomplish all other HR core competencies and key functions. This is essential when determining rules of allocation and how to fill HR Squad and Postal Platoons.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. In a training environment, leaders must perform a risk assessment in accordance with DA PAM , 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 Note: During MOPP training, leaders must ensure personnel are monitored for potential heat injury. Local policies and procedures must be followed during times of increased heat category in order to avoid heat related injury. Consider the MOPP work/rest cycles and water replacement guidelines IAW FM , Multiservice Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Protection, FM , Multiservice Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Decontamination. 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. Everyone is responsible for safety.
RISK ASSESSMENT LEVEL. Low.
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 FM Environmental Considerations and GTA ENVIRONMENTAL-RELATED RISK ASSESSMENT.
EVALUATION: You will be evaluated on the HR Plans and Ops final exam.

3. What are Rules of Allocation (ROA)?
Rules of Allocation are part of the overall Force Management process
Rules of Allocations are used as part of the Total Army Analysis to model operational requirements of units
Rules of Allocation provide guidance on the number of HR units required to provide intended support. Three types of Allocation Rules:
Manual: Theater requirement(s)
Workload: Linked to a measurable logistical workload
Existence: Linked to a requirement for one unit to another (i.e. a Theater Gateway requires an HR Company)
SHOW SLIDE: HR RULES OF ALLOCATION
The Army G-3 exercises responsibility for Force Management including:
Developing rules of allocation with Army functional proponents
Developing standard organizational designs
Approving all Army organizations, with Assistant Secretary of the Army (ASA) for Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA) oversight
Serve as lead for Total Army Analysis
There are three basic types of ROA or Allocation Rules:
· Direct input (manual) rules are stand-alone requirements for a unit in a theater.
· Existence rules tie a requirement from one unit to another. Allocation of units based on the existence of other units, or a function of a theater’s physical or
organizational structure. An example is the HRSC. One HRSC is allocated per Theater Sustainment Command (TSC)
· Workload rules tie unit requirements to a measurable logistical workload or administrative services in proportion to the volume of those services. An example of this would be a Postal Platoon. One postal platoon is allocated per 6,000 personnel. Another example would be a Personnel Accountability Team (PAT). Current HR ROA provide for one PAT (HR Squad) per 600 personnel transiting through an APOD

NOTE: These are the corrected ROAs not found in FM Correction is to the ROA for the HR Squad (PAT).
This slide depicts the various Rules of Allocation for SRC 12 organizations.
HR organization rules of allocation allow HR planners to determine the number of HR units required to provide the intended support. These rules of allocation are also used in the Total Army Analysis system to model operational requirements of units.
