1. Direct Personnel Accountability Team (PAT)Operations
SHOW SLIDE: DIRECT PERSONNEL ACCOUNTABILITY TEAM (PAT) OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION. 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.
The Army’s personnel accountability system is designed to account for:
• Soldiers.
• Reportable Army civilians.
• CAAF.
• Joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational personnel when directed.
MOTIVATOR. 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.
During this block of instruction we are going to focus on Personnel Accountability Teams (PATs). To accomplish the PA function, the HR platoon forms PATs from platoon personnel. These teams provide PA at APOE/APOD, SPOD/Sea Port of Embarkation (SPOE), and at FOBs where the daily transit numbers exceed 600 personnel per day. The PAT provides PA of personnel entering, transiting, or departing the specific theater location. PATs rely on the supported organization for daily life support.

5. PAT Operations Overview
Previously known as “R5” - Reception, Replacement, Return-to-duty, Rest and Recuperation, and Redeployment
PATs track and coordinate the movement of Soldiers and civilians into, through, or out of a theater
Tasks include:
Planning, coordinating, and executing PAT activities to process transiting personnel
Maintaining personnel accountability throughout, from designated points of origin (APOD/APOE), to final destination
Coordinating critical life support and transportation requirements while in transit as determined by METT-TC
DTAS input and database management
SHOW SLIDE: PAT OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
In the 2007 edition of FM 1-0, PAT was referred to as R5 Operations – Reception, Replacement, Rest and Recuperation, and Redeployment. HR doctrine was revised to focus specifically on the critical HR key function of personnel accountability. 5

6. Key Performance Indicators
PAT Operations performance indicators include:
Location of PAT assets and operational status. PATs are required at Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD)/Sea Port of Debarkation (SPOD) when the daily flow rate is 600 or more per day.
Number of personnel arrived or departed in last 24 hours and number of projected in the next 24 hours.
Red, Amber, Green status of each Personnel Processing Center (PPC).
Are the TG PAT and HR Company PATs capturing all categories of personnel (Soldiers, Joint personnel, DoD civilians, and contractors)?

SHOW SLIDE: THEATER GATEWAY PAT
A TG PAT center is an existence based organization in the Sustainment Brigade. It may be employed in a theater opening mission to establish a JOA TG PAT Center. As the JOA matures, the TG PAT, and the augmenting HR Company, will transition to the JOA Distribution Mission.
The TG PAT, with a supporting HR Company, is capable of supporting a population including other Services, multinational forces, contractors, DoD civilians, and U.S. government agencies when directed by Army Support to other Services and Joint Force Command orders. The TG PAT provides specialized PAT expertise and experience to oversee the entire spectrum of PAT functions from large scale unit reception missions (RSO&I) during TG to labor intensive R&R missions in sustainment operations.
The modular structure allows the commander to add the necessary level of seniority and experience appropriate for a high visibility theater-level mission. The main functions of this team are to provide the supporting staff which will do all necessary coordination, planning and implementation for a large scale PAT mission during the various stages of an operation.
The TG PAT consists of a Headquarters and Operations section led by a 42H LTC

SHOW SLIDE: TG PAT EMPLOYMENT
The Theater Gateway PAT has the following personnel accountability responsibilities:
• Establish initial theater PPC during early entry operations.
• Input and account for all personnel by date as they enter into, transit, or depart the theater.
• Coordinate the execution of logistics support (billeting, transportation, etc.) of transiting personnel as necessary.
• Identify proposed theater locations for placement of other PATs (in coordination with HRSC and the Sustainment Brigade (HROB)).
• Ensure PATs have the necessary access to HR databases.
• Coordinate personnel accountability issues with the HRSC and supporting Sustainment Brigade HROB.
The TG PAT provides PA support to the theater of operations by coordinating and providing PA operations and database inputs as Soldiers enter, transit, and depart the theater at the inter-theater APOD; and executes tasks supporting the PA task. The TG PAT operates as an element of the inter-theater APOD performing PA tasks and associated supporting tasks under the control of the sustainment organization responsible for the operation of the inter-theater APOD, normally a CSSB.
The TG PAT deploys and establishes a theater-level TG PAT Center with augmentation of an HR Company at the primary inter-theater APOD. The TG PAT receives technical guidance from the supporting HROB and the HRSC Plans and Operations Division.
The TG PAT requires a capability to communicate digitally through web and voice, both secure and non-secure, to PAT elements, G-1/AG sections, logistical support elements and other branches of Service. It is employed as an assigned or attached element of a Sustainment Brigade's STB. Operational guidance and directives are initiated by the TSC (HRSC) and should be issued in OPLAN or OPORD format.
To support unit S-1’s during RSO&I and redeployment operations, the TG PAT has the capability to perform limited EPS i.e., ID documents, DD Form 93, (Record of Emergency Data) and SGLV Form 8286 (Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance Election and Certificate).

SHOW SLIDE: PAT Flow in Deployed Theater (This is a Multi-click slide)
NOTE: Explain each flow as the slide depicts a new flow.
a. Two principal types of PAT Centers will be created to support the deployed AOR, and the larger sites of personnel flow. The TG PAT center will operate at the Click Mouse inter-theater APOD at the theater entry point, and smaller PAT centers will be established at Click Mouse intra-theater APODs where the average daily flow of personnel is greater than 600 Soldiers and reportable civilians. As the JOA matures, other theater entry points may be established which will require PAT support. The size of the PAT element allocated will be based on the projected flow of units and personnel transiting through the newly opened APOD. Inter- and intra-theater APODs have differing characteristics and generally process personnel at different densities.
(1) Click Mouse Inter-theater APODs normally receive civilian wide-body contracted aircraft and larger military strategic airlift with large concentrations of Soldiers arriving at the PAT center at the same time.
(2) Click Mouse Intra-theater APODs generally process Soldiers and reportable civilians who arrive via military tactical aircraft, with a smaller concentration of personnel to be processed at one time.
b. Click Mouse The TG PAT Team with the supporting HR Company (PAT) establishes the TG PAT Center at the most favorable location based on projected personnel flow rates in the area of the inter-theater APOD. Early entry of PAT elements is critical to establish accurate strength accounting at the beginning of the operation or deployment as the deployed personnel database is established. All Soldiers and reportable civilians must be entered in the DTAS database. The TG PAT center receives and processes all units (RSO&I) arriving to the AOR and coordinates the onward movement of units to staging areas with the SB SPO and MCT elements in the area of the APOD. Individual replacements flow in a similar manner from the TG PAT center to the BDE. The TG PAT Team and supporting HR Company (PAT) coordinate all onward movement, logistical support and the tracking of both units and individual replacements. As the theater matures, other ports of entry may be established requiring PAT support at more than one location. The size of this PAT element will be based on the projected flow.
(1) An PAT element must be incorporated as part of the ESC early entry element to allow for initial PAT operations in the theater. This initial element is determined by METT-TC analysis and projected flow rates initially, and may by an PAT Platoon Headquarters, an PAT Plans and Operations Team, The TG PAT Team or a team from the PAT division of the HRSC, or a combination.
(2) Click Mouse The RSO Operations Division of the HRSC provides technical guidance and theater policy information to the TG PAT and HR-PAT Companies on PAT matters in accordance with ASCC G1’s Policies, TTP, and guidance presented in OPORDs. The SB HROB assists the forward PAT elements with coordinating logistical needs from assets within the SB as well as providing operational planning guidance from the SB.
(3) Click Mouse Individual replacements flow in a similar manner from the PAT Center to the Brigade S1 of the unit assigned.
(4) Click Mouse Return to duty Soldiers will return from theater-based hospitals or military medical treatment facilities to the Theater PAT Center, Corps/Division intra-theater PAT center, or directly to the unit based on the location of the medical facility. The PAT element will coordinate with the Casualty Liaison Teams (CLTs) for movement back to the units through the Brigade S1.
NOTE: Emphasize to the students on the chart the difference between the Inter- and Intra-Theater PAT Centers for both RTD and R&R.
(5) Click Mouse During sustainment, the R&R program requires intense coordination to ensure proper accountability and movement control. Soldiers on R&R will move in coordination from the Brigade S1 to an PAT platoon or team at the Corps/Division intra-theater APOD/APOE. The size of the PAT element at that level will be based on daily personnel flow. The PAT PAT will ensure accountability and necessary processing is done for follow-on travel to the PAT Center or to in-theater R&R programs. These intra-theater PAT Centers may or may not receive PAT support based on daily passenger flow. The rule of thumb to direct allocation of PAT structure is a daily flow greater than 600 passengers. This will direct two PAT PATs and an PAT Plt HQs. At the PAT center the Soldiers on R&R are briefed, processed, and manifested for R&R travel. Upon return from R&R, the PAT Center processes and tracks Soldiers back into the theater to the unit of assignment, either through intra-theater PAT centers or direct to S1s and G1s.
(6) Click Mouse The Theater Gateway PAT Team receives and processes all units RSO&I arriving to the area of operations and coordinates onward movement of the units to their designated staging areas, which are controlled by CSSBs of the Sustainment Brigade with a Theater Opening mission through coordination with the port MCT and the CSSB. The Sustainment Brigade SPO HR Operations cell will also work the transportation coordination.
(7) Click Mouse Upon completion of a rotation or the end of theater operations, the Theater Gateway PAT team will maintain accountability of individuals and units and are removed from the theater database. Coordination with other services and logistical elements remain the same as for incoming personnel.
