Conditions: You are an HR NCO and your unit is preparing to deploy. The commander assigns you responsibility for conducting the DCS program. You have access to the current Army G-1 DCS Directive, AR 600-8-101, DA PAM 600-8-101 (Personnel Processing (In-, Out-, Soldier Readiness, and Deployment Cycle Support)), FM 1-0 (HR Support), DA Form 7631 (DCS Checklist), and the contingency plan for your deployment. Some iterations of this task should be performed in MOPP 4. Standards: With a minimum of 70% accuracy, identify S-1 responsibilities during each phase of the DCS process, integrate S-1 planning considerations into unit operations, and perform DCS tasks during each phase. Special Conditions: None Safety Risk: Low MOPP 4: Sometimes Cue: Your unit is preparing for deployment. Task Statements None DANGER None WARNING None CAUTION Remarks: None Notes: None Page 2
Performance Steps 1. Identify S-1 responsibilities during the seven phases of the DCS. a. Train-up and Preparation. b. Mobilization. c. Deployment. d. Employment. e. Redeployment. f. Post-Deployment. g. Reconstitution. 2. Correlate the steps of DCS and S-1 considerations during each phase into unit planning and operations. a.

(3) Plan for the train-up of incoming S-1 personnel and provide Relief in Place/Transfer of Authority (RIP/TOA) ceremony support with incoming (4) Prepare for the transfer of S-1 equipment to the incoming unit's organizational property book. f. Conduct DCS tasks during the post-deployment phase. (1) Ensure those tasks not completed in the redeployment phase are completed in the post-deployment phase. (a) Ensure all individuals departing theater have a DA Form 7631, DCS checklist, in their possession. (b) Ensure when all of the tasks are complete, the commander validates the form. (2) Advise that during post deployment, when personnel, equipment, and material arrive at home station, CONUS Replacement Center (CRC), or DEMOB station, individual redeployment and demobilization processing (reverse SRP, medical screening, and DCS process) must be completed. (a) Ensure Rear Detachment Commander (RDC) provides updated manifest to key local agencies, identifies potential home station issues and notifies the incoming commander. (b) Maintain accountability of personnel. (c) Plan for leave schedules and homecoming ceremonies. (d) Complete investigations, evaluation reports, and safety briefings. g. Conduct DCS tasks during the reconstitution phase. Page 4
(1) Complete reception activities for every Soldier. (2) Verify all tasks are completed and verified on DA Form 7631. (3) Complete any unfinished post-deployment recovery and administrative requirements. (4) Prepare to begin collective unit training. (Asterisks indicates a leader performance step.) Evaluation Guidance: Score the Soldier GO if all performance measures are passed (P). Score the Soldier NO GO if any performance measure is failed (F). If the Soldier fails any performance measure, show what was done wrong and how to perform it correctly. Evaluation Preparation: This task can be evaluated by use of the performance measures as listed. This method of evaluation is appropriate if the Soldier performs the task on the job. Allow the Soldier to practice until the Soldier feels qualified and prepared for the evaluation. Then have the Soldier perform the task, using the materials listed in the CONDITIONS statement above. Score the Soldier "PASS" or "FAIL" as determined by the performance. PERFORMANCE MEASURES GO NO-GO N/A 1. Identified S-1 responsibilities during the seven phases of the DCS. a.

It is a continual process and starts with deliberate planning. Always be alert to ways to protect our environment during training and missions. In doing so, you will contribute to the sustainment of our training resources while protecting people and the environment from harmful effects. Refer to the current Environmental Considerations manual and the current GTA Environmental-related Risk Assessment card. Safety: In a training environment, leaders must perform a risk assessment in accordance with current Risk Management Doctrine. Leaders will complete the current Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet in accordance with the TRADOC Safety Officer during the planning and completion of each task and sub-task by assessing mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available-time available and civil considerations, (METT-TC). Note: During MOPP training, leaders must ensure personnel are monitored for potential heat injury. Local policies and procedures must be followed during times of increased heat category in order to avoid heat related injury. Consider the MOPP work/rest cycles and water replacement guidelines IAW current CBRN doctrine.
