Q

Command and Control FM.

A

An RFL01 UTC with the Global Command and Control System - Air Force (GCCS-AF) equipment will arrive to take over the accountability, strength reporting and casualty reporting mission.

16
Q

Establish the Airbase FM

A

Contains RFL03, RFPF3and RFL05 UTCs which augment the RFL01 to provide additional personnel leadership and advisory support.

17
Q

Planning Phase: Personnel

A

-For personnel preparation, the single most important item in the planning phase is training

18
Q

Personnel

A
  • The FSS commander ensures assigned PERSCO personnel complete required PERSCO training within 12 months of being designated as a PT member
  • In-house training sessions should be conducted and documented at least twice a month
  • Training should be as realistic as possible
  • The FSS Unit Deployment Manager (UDM) serves as the focal point for scheduling and documenting all initial/recurring ancillary deployment training and classified courier training for PT members
19
Q

Planning Phase:

A
  • Personnel

- Supplies

20
Q

Supplies:

A

A PERSCO supply kit must be established and maintained for each PT

21
Q

Execution Phase:

Initial Set-Up Actions

A

During initial set-up, the PT is establishing PERSCO initial operations and establishing baseline strength accountability. Actions accomplished during initial set-up include:

  • Accountability
  • Ensure a Reception Control Center (RCC) is established
  • Establish PERSCO Operating Location
  • Establish PERSCO Operating Procedures
  • Use all possible means to account for arriving forces
  • Sustainment Operations and Actions
22
Q

Sustainment Operations and Actions

A

These sustainment actions are a transition from the initial set-up actions, where the majority of the main operating force has arrived and completed in-processing actions

23
Q

Maintain Accountability

A

-When discussing duty status, the emphasis is on the availability of members
-A person’s duty status can change quite easily and must be updated in DCAPES/MilPDS. PTs will submit daily DSC reports NLT 2400 hours local daily or NLT the timeline provided by the component command
-PTs track filler or replacement actions ensuring timely actions are taken and notify the deployed commander of the status of their requests
-

24
Q

In order to maintain full accounting

A

The current strength and duty status changes are reported on a regular basis

25
Q

Administrative Products. There are many products produced using DCAPES that are useful for PERSCO teams. Some of these products are:

A

Alpha Rosters. PTs provide alpha rosters to units. Units will review alpha rosters to maintain accountability by identifying personnel who have departed or have not in-processed. The PT then takes appropriate action to capture changed unit information.

26
Q

Redeployment Responsibilities

A
  • Maintain total force accountability. The hardest deployment action to maintain accountability in, is in redeployment actions
  • Maintain equipment accountability
27
Q

Forward Deployment Process

A
  • For personnel forward deploying supporting the same operation, the losing PT will utilize the forward deployment function within the PERSCO module of the GCCS-AF system to update the new requirement information in DCAPES. A duty status change report is accomplished on forward deploying individuals.
  • For personnel transitioning from routine TDY orders to fill an operational requirement, the TDY commander submits a request via the PT to home-station IPR requesting approval
28
Q

Reachback

A

is the process of obtaining products, services, applications, forces, equipment, or material from organizations that are not forward deployed

29
Q

DCAPES

A

provides support to deployed PERSCO teams via the DCAPES PERSCO Web Application. It is a web-based software product that allows real-time access and update of data on all servers

30
Q

Air and Space Expeditionary Force Operations (AFPC/DPW)

A

Located at Randolph AFB, is the reachback enabler for personnel processes and systems

31
Q

Home Station FSS

A

FSS Commanders or deputies at home station are responsible for providing reachback support to deployed commanders and customers within THREE duty days of receipt of request.

32
Q

Joint Personnel Status and Casualty Report (JPERSTAT)

A

The joint force J-1 accomplishes joint strength reporting for the Joint Force Commander (JFC) by combining daily service component strength reports into the joint personnel status and casualty report (JPERSTAT)

33
Q

Joint Personnel Status and Casualty Report (JPERSTAT): PURPOSE

A

The Joint Personnel Status and Casualty Report is meant to satisfy the commander’s information needs and to authenticate the total number of personnel (military, DOD civilian, and DOD contractor) physically present in a geographic combatant commander’s area of responsibility

34
Q

Reception Processing Plan
