Sustainment Planning Factors 07 December 2020 ATP 5-0.2-1 285 America's Army and its readiness to conduct operations in peacetime, conflict, and war (see ATP 1-19 for detailed information on Army band operations). G-155. MWR operations includes unit recreation, sports programs, and rest areas for military and deployed DOD civilian personnel. MWR personnel provide these services and facilities in coordination with unit points of contact. G-1s and S-1s coordinate and plan for MWR operations. MWR support includes coordinated AAFES and American Red Cross support. G-156. The American Red Cross delivers essential Red Cross services to all Army components, civilians, and their families worldwide in order to assist them in preventing, preparing for, and coping with emergency situations. The American Red Cross provides services such as emergency communication (for example, death of a family member, emergency financial assistance, counseling, and comfort kits in the deployed environment). Conduct Human Resources Planning and Operations G-157. Human resources leaders envision a desired HR end state in support of an operational commander's mission requirements through HR planning and operations. Human resources leaders communicate to subordinate HR providers and HR unit leaders the intent, expected requirements, and desired outcomes via an operation plan and operation order. Human resources planning and operations in support of the commander— Assesses the current situation and forecasts HR requirements based on the progress of the operation. Executes and adjusts decisions, as necessary, to exploit opportunities or unforecasted requirements. Applies human resources and support at decisive points in time. Estimates and stratifies casualties. Casualty Estimates G-158. The material in this section is derived from FM 1-0, AR 638-8, and ATP 4-02.5. G-159. The Army assistant chief of staff (COS), personnel is the functional proponent for Army total mission casualty estimation (killed in action, captured, missing in action, and wounded in action). The Army Surgeon General is the functional proponent for Army disease and non-battle injury (DNBI) casualty estimation. The Army assistant COS, personnel is the functional proponent for overall casualty estimation, which includes both total mission casualties and DNBI casualties, to determine projected manning requirements. G-160. Currently, no approved casualty estimation tool exists. Casualty estimation is based on the operations plan against the threat with all of the assumptions and mission variables (METT-TC). Essentially, planners answer the question "How costly, in terms of casualties, is the commander's plan going to be?" Planners develop further plans to treat casualties, evacuate casualties, and conduct other services such as mortuary affairs, and request replacements based on casualty estimates. Casualty estimates across the deployed force also affect the proposed needs for transportation assets, evacuation platforms, replacement needs by time (accelerated mobilizations), medical supplies, and water estimates. G-161. Ensuring reasonable casualty estimates requires more than a numeric estimating procedure or set of rates. A frame of reference is critical to show how rates relate to variables. The currently approved and mandated methodology for deriving casualty rates for operational planning is the benchmark rate structure (see FM 1-0 for additional information on the benchmark rate structure). G-162. These tools are based on a modified version of Dupuy's model published in 1995 (see Dupuy, 1995). Automated worksheets take into account various factors— Relative advantage or disadvantage. Unit types involved. Type of operation. Terrain.
