Sustainment Planning Factors 07 December 2020 ATP 5-0.2-1 283 (OPCON) or tactical control (TACON) to either the combat sustainment support battalion or the BCT on an area basis. Services include limited search, recovery, and evacuation by the collection team on an area basis and coordination of mortuary affairs processing. Shower and Laundry G-136. Shower, laundry, and clothing repair (SLCR) teams are assigned to outposts and sometimes operate on a rotating basis. A quartermaster field service company can provide shower and laundry services for up to 21,000 troops on an area basis. G-137. Shower and laundry teams are the key elements of the theater field services function and they may be separately deployed as far forward as BSBs. Each shower and laundry team comprises one bath unit and one laundry advanced system. The laundry unit operates 20 hours per day. The shower unit operates 10 hours per day. The remaining operating time is for equipment maintenance. G-138. Laundered clothing consists of 15 pounds per Soldier per week. The shower and laundry function does not include laundry decontamination support. Water capacities required are measured in gallons per person per day (see ATP 4-42 for more information). PERSONNEL SERVICES G-139. Personnel services are sustainment functions that fill and fund the force, maintain Soldier and Family readiness, promote the moral and ethical values of the nation, and enable the fighting qualities of the Army. Personnel services complement logistics by planning for and coordinating efforts that provide and sustain personnel. Personnel services include human resources (HR), legal, religious, and band support. G-140. During LSCO, some personnel services may be limited in capability to support forward deployed units. For example, HR support such as morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) or postal operations may be limited to support areas or entirely unavailable. Commanders, in consultation with G-1/S-1 personnel officers determine what services are necessary to maintain accountability and morale. HUMAN RESOURCES SUPPORT G-141. The functions of HR support are described below under their respective HR core competency. Human resources core competencies are man the force, provide HR services, coordinate personnel support, and conduct HR planning and operations. All of these functions and tasks affect the personnel aspects of building combat power within an organization (see FM 1-0 for more detailed information). Man the Force G-142. Man the force is any action or function that impacts on strength or readiness of an organization. This includes personnel readiness management, personnel accountability, strength reporting, retention operations, and personnel information management. The challenge is getting the right Soldier with the right qualifications to the right place at the right time. G-143. Personnel readiness management involves analyzing personnel strength data to determine current combat capabilities, projecting future requirements, and assessing conditions of individual and unit readiness. Personnel readiness management is directly interrelated and interdependent upon the other functions of man the force. Changing the priority of replacement fills should only be made based on operational input from the commander or the G-3/S-3. G-144. 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 to, and depart from, a unit. This includes maintaining visibility of individuals as they enter, transit, and depart theater. Additional accountability requirements may be assigned by the commander, such as accounting for detainees, prisoners of war, host-nation or partner-nation forces, and delegations. Higher casualty rates also increase the emphasis on personnel accountability, casualty reports, and replacement operations. Personnel officers plan for accurate tracking of casualties and replacements through coordination with casualty liaison teams and the human resources sustainment center.
