Chapter 1The Military Personnel Office

Section IIntroduction

11. PurposeThe purpose of this pamphlet is to provide guidance to military personnel offices and supported units in the areas ofinternal organizational structure, functional responsibilities, and operational procedures applicable to the militarypersonnel office. Deviations from this pamphlet to meet local requirements are authorized provided that supported unitsare given written guidance explaining the deviation and that support to the soldier and commander is not diminished.

12. ReferencesRequired and related publications are listed in appendix A.

13. Explanation of abbreviations and termsAbbreviations and special terms are explained in the glossary.

14. Definitionsa. Military Personnel Office (MILPO). In this pamphlet the acronym MILPO applies to all organizations which

perform personnel functions, such as a personnel service company (PSC), a personnel service division (PSD),consolidated military personnel activities (COMPACT), a unit personnel section (UPS), a forward area support team(FAST), and a regional personnel center (RPC).

b. Levels of organization. The following levels of organizations apply to TOE and TDA units that input to or useoutput from a MILPO.

(1) Primary level. A unit or element that serves as an originator of data for action by a MILPO or for input toStandard Installation/Division Personnel System (SIDPERS). The originator is normally found at the company/troop/battery/Personnel Administration Center (PAC) level.

(2) Intermediate level. An element that serves as the repository and administrative element for personnel records androutinely provides data conversion for SIDPERS (e.g., PSC, PSD, RPC, COMPACT, and FAST).

(3) Command level. A unit that is responsible for maintaining the command automated personnel/SIDPERS files(e.g., Division, COSCOM, area support commands located in a COMMZ, and installations).

c. Management Information Systems Office (MISO)/Division Data Center (DDC)/Distributed Data Center (DPC).The office which deals with the administration, monitoring and management of automatic data processing systems.

15. Organization This pamphlet is organized as follows:a. Chapter 1 contains information regarding organization and the division of functions at the intermediate level.b. Chapter 2 discusses internal management practices associated with the operation of the MILPO.c. Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6 correspond to the four basic functional elements of the MILPO. The operating procedures

outlined in these chapters provide guidance for task and functional responsibilities in processing personnel actionswithin and between the MILPO and the supported units. The functional areas are

(1) Chapter 3Personnel Management.(2) Chapter 4Personnel Actions.(3) Chapter 5Personnel Records.(4) Chapter 6Customer Service Activity (CSA).d. Chapter 7 discusses information and procedures covering the administrative support element functions and

operations and the recommended routing of documents originating at primary level organizations.e. Chapter 8 contains information covering military pay administration as related to the MILPO and finance office.f. Chapter 9 contains information on battalion/unit administration.

16. Data on sample figuresData to be entered on forms discussed in this pamphlet may be hand-written or typewritten.

Section IIStandardization of Organization of Personnel Offices

17. Recommended organization of a MILPOa. Paragraphs 1-19 through 1-27 illustrate the recommended organization and division of the functions and tasks of

a MILPO. This facilitates standardization of personnel management and personnel administration requirements, Army-

1DA PAM 6008 1 August 1986

wide. This organizational structure and division of functions provides for the performance of tasks normally assigned tothe MILPO via Department of the Army regulations and directions.

b. The specific tasks shown by functional area in paragraphs 1-19 through 1-27 are applicable to both garrison andfield operation and are adaptable to units organized under and are adaptable to units organized under a Table ofOrganizational Equipment (TOE) and a Table of Distribution and Allowance (TDA). The organization outlined inparagraphs 1-19 through 1-27 is sufficiently flexible for adoption by personnel offices operated as PSD, PSC, UPS,RPC, or COMPACT.

18. Combining of functionsWhen a MILPO supports less than 2,500 military personnel, it may combine several functions into one. For example,the Personnel Actions and Personnel Management functions could be combined into one element with each functionmaintaining its identity as a subelement. When a MILPO supports more than 2,500 military personnel, it may divide afunction into subelements. For example, the Personnel Management Function may be divided into assignments, testing,classification, and promotion subelements.

Section IIITypes of Military Personnel Offices

19. GeneralThis section identifies the five types of MILPO and where additional organizational information can be obtained.

a. Personnel service division (PSD). There are two types of PSD. One type is formed from TOE 12-17 series(Adjutant General Company, Support Command Armored Division, or Infantry Division, Infantry Division (Mech), orAirborne Division). The second type is formed from TOE 12-147 series (Administration Company, Separate ArmoredBrigade, Separate Infantry Brigade, Separate Infantry Brigade (Mech), Air Cavalry Combat Brigade, Separate LightInfantry Brigade, or Separate Airborne Brigade). Each PSD provides centralized support to all personnel and unitsassigned or attached to the division or brigade. In addition, each PSD provides flexible support to detached maneuverbattalions or to brigade elements through FAST. (See para 1-11a.) FM 12-1 (Adjutant General Support in Theaters ofOperation) and FM 12-4 (Division/Separate Brigade Adjutant General) FM 12-3-2 (Division/Separate Brigade Person-nel and Administrative Doctrine) describe operational concepts that can be applied to the MILPO situation.

b. Personnel service company (PSC). The PSC is an area support unit organized by type from TOE 12-67G(Personnel and Equipment Allowances) to service a varied number of troops. When deployed, the PSC is normallyattached to a Personnel and Administration Battalion located within the area occupied by the support command of afield Army or Corps. The PSC may also be assigned to installations or to major headquarters of activities. FM 12-5(Personnel Service Company) FM 12-3-3 (Corps Level Personnel and Administrative Doctrine) was written beforeproliferation of SIDPERS; however, this Field Manual may be used to obtain command staff relationships and for ageneral understanding of operational concepts.

c. Regional personnel center (RPC). The RPC is a personnel support unit oriented to the European environment. AnRPC is assigned to a particular command but has the mission of supporting all units (corps or nondivision) locatedwithin the geographical area assigned to the RPC. The RPC is a peacetime entity formed by combining elements oforganic PSC and PSD of serviced units. In time of mobilization, resources of the RPC would revert to the appropriatecommand and become a supporting unit of its parent organization.

d. Consolidated military personnel activities (COMPACT). This is the HQDA approved concept for providingMILPO support to CONUS and oversea installations and facilities. Deviations from the COMPACT configuration willbe made only with HQDA approval (para 4, AR 600-8). Deviations are considered appropriate only when it is proventhat geographical dispersion of units makes adherence to the COMPACT concept impractical. A COMPACT is formedby a TDA and staffed in accordance with DA Pamphlet 570-551.

e. Unit personnel section (UPS). A UPS is formed only when the supported camp, station, or organization isphysically located in a remote area that cannot be serviced by another TOE or TDA element. The UPS is normally notorganized with a SIDPERS Interface Branch (SIB); hence, hard copy documents and mark sense forms are sent toanother element for data reduction.

110. Organizing a MILPOFormation/activation of a new MILPO is not authorized without prior approval from HQDA. Requests are processed inaccordance with paragraph 15, AR 600-8.

Section IVTeam Concept

111. GeneralMultifunctional service and assistance teams may be tailored by the MILPO to provide specific personnel support. Thechief of each function in a MILPO is responsible for the technical supervision of the individuals performing the same

2 DA PAM 6008 1 August 1986

function on the team. Overall physical control of the team is exercised by the senior team member. Organization andsize of a team depends on the mission and size of the supported unit(s).

112. Examples of teamsa. Forward area support team (FAST). A FAST is formed to provide specialized assistance to individuals remotely

located from the support base or prevented (unit on alert and confined area) from visiting the support base forcentralized service. A FAST is composed of individuals from each element of the MILPO and may be tailored toinclude selected AG, finance, medical and staff judge advocate representatives. Personnel records, and if the FAST isso tailored, finance and medical records may accompany the team during its absence from the MILPO or support base.Assistance is provided at the units location only for a temporary period of time. Personnel staffing of a FAST dependsupon its mission which may include, but not limited to, review and update of records, issuance of ID tags, completionof forms, or providing legal advice. The senior officer or NCO is designated to supervise the FAST while it isperforming its mission. Success of the FAST depends upon the ability of the organizer (MILPO chief or financeofficer) to schedule, coordinate and time the arrival of the team at a location where it can best provide service. TheMILPO chief, if appropriate, will, prior to movement of the FAST, coordinate with the finance officer, medical officer,and SJA on the issuance of instructions and the need for administrative reports.

b. Composite team. A composite team is formed within the MILPO from each function element (except the SIB/SID). The mission of the team is to provide complete personnel service for specific units on a permanent basis. As faras possible, the teams are staffed alike and each team services an approximately equal number of personnel. Thenumber of teams will vary based on operational requirements. The team is an extension of the parent MILPO and isresponsible to that parent MILPO.

c. Inprocessing team. An inprocessing team processes records and performs required personnel actions for incomingreplacements in accordance with DA Pamphlet 600-8-10. The team is normally placed under the supervision of arepresentative of the MILPOs personnel management element. Accurate and efficient inprocessing reduces the numberof subsequent visits to the MILPO and enables the gaining unit commander to use replacement personnel sooner. Table1-1 illustrates a recommended staffing for an inprocessing team. (DA staffing guides are used to determine overallmanpower authorizations in TDA personnel organizations. MACRIT in AR 570-2 are used to determine overallmanpower authorizations in TOE personnel organizations.)

d. Outprocessing team. An outprocessing team processes personnel departing the organization in accordance withDA Pamphlet 600-8-10. The team is normally placed under the supervision of a representative of the MILPOspersonnel records element. Table 1-1 illustrates recommended staffing for an outprocessing team.

Section VUnit Administration

113. Personnel Administration Center (PAC)The PAC is a center created at battalion level to perform all unit personnel and administrative functions. It is designedto reduce the administrative functions of the unit commander and first sergeant in order to allow them to concentrateon training, readiness, and leadership of the unit. PAC procedures, by making use of the principles of consolidation ofadministrative resources, are designed to provide improved support to the soldier.

114. Units Not Organized Under a PACIn those units not organized under the PAC concept, unit clerks will continue to perform personnel and administrativefunctions in the unit orderly room.

Section VIResponsibilities of Key Personnel Managers

115. Responsibilities of commandCommanders at all echelons have the authority and responsibility inherent in overall personnel management of theircommands even though they may not have the authority to directly supervise the MILPO providing personnel support.Commanders retain the prerogative to review and comment on items they feel have direct bearing on the efficiency oftheir organization. Each supported commander down to and including company level will ensure establishment of adirect line of communication with the PSNCO supporting his unit to facilitate the expeditious flow of personnel actionsand SIDPERS reports.

116. Special staff officersThe Adjutant General of a TOE unit and the director of personnel and community activities (DPCA) of a TDA unit areresponsible for staff supervision and operational control of the MILPO. These officers, in their respective environ-ments, supervise the MILPO chief except where the MILPO (PSC) is under operational control of a personnel and

administrative (P&A) battalion; then, the Adjutant General advises the P&A battalion commander on the operation ofthe technical mission.

117. Personnel officerThe Chief of a MILPO is directly responsible for the management and control of the MILPOs operations andresources. He is the custodian of the military personnel records jacket, US Army (DA Form 201) and allied documents.He or she is responsible for accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of transactions processed and records maintained.He or she also continuously attempts to improve the quality of data received, recorded, and reported. In accomplishingthese responsibilities, the MILPO chief coordinates with the MISO, PAC, Finance Office, and the Personnel Staff NCO(PSNCO). The chief of MILPO will also ensure that host-tenant/satellite agreements (AR 5-9) are initiated and updatedyearly for activities concerned. Most importantly, he or she is responsible for providing high quality personnel supportto serviced commanders and soldiers.

118. Primary level personnel responsibilityResponsibility for the military personnel function at this level is shared between the unit commander and the PACsupervisor. The unit commander retains responsibilities for personnel management, e.g., training, selection or recom-mendation for promotion, and proper assignment and utilization of personnel to a TOE or TDA space; however, allformal administration relating to personnel management is performed by the PAC. The unit commander preparesinformal oral or handwritten requests and information documents that are forwarded to the PAC for necessarycompletion and/or typing. The unit commander permits the individual to obtain personnel information at the PAC orthe MILPO and initiates changes in personnel status. DA Pamphlet 1-2 contains a list of actions describing those taskselevated above the unit.

119. Personnel Staff NCO (PSNCO)The role of the PSNCO differs depending upon the environment, PAC or non-PAC.

a. In the PAC environment, the PSNCO shares previously traditional duties with the PAC supervisor. The PSNCOis concerned with coordination between PAC, units, and MILPO. He provides advice and assistance to the commanderand staff and to members with unusual problems. He monitors internal personnel management, acts as the commandcoordinator on such things as personnel replacements, strength/MOS imbalances, and proper utilization. The PACsupervisor, on the other hand, is concerned with administration. He manages the paperwork flow and assists memberswith routine problems. He supervises the PAC specialists and acts as the command coordinator on technical matterssuch as personnel actions and SIDPERS.

b. In a non-PAC environment, the PSNCO performs all of the above functions. Ideally, an equal amount of time isdevoted to each half (as described above) of the job. The PSNCO must avoid the tendency to dedicate work effortspredominantly on the administrative side of the job so that well-rounded personnel service support may be provided tothe soldier.

c. In either environment, care must be taken by commanders to ensure that duties assigned to the PSNCO are onlythose which provide personnel service to supported soldiers. The PSNCO should not be assigned additional functionalduties. The PSNCO is a valuable personnel expert who directly supports the commander; his or her talents should notbe diverted to other areas.
