c. Personnel Readiness. The Personnel Readiness Review (PRR) is a weekly performance

based review of Human Resources (HR) metrics consisting of personnel support, readiness and
deployability indicators to ensure individual Soldier readiness. The purpose of the review is to
accurately see ourselves, share challenges, solutions and address system or training shortfalls.
The PRR consists of selected measurements as indicated in the key personnel readiness
indicators/standards (TAB C). Although, not all measurements identified in TAB C will be briefed
during the PRR, the additional indicators will assist human resources personnel in performing
their duties and responsibilities. The III Corps CG or DCG-C will host the monthly PRR with all
Division Commanders at III Corps HQs or VTC, Building 1001, CR3. All Division and Separate
Commanders will BPT brief their slides.

(1) Provide the name, organization, phone number and e-mail address of the Unit PRR
representative to III Corps G1 at (254) 287-3329 or (254) 287-8172 NLT 15 Days publication of
this order.

(2) Retrieve PRR data on the 1st Thursday of each month. If the 1st Thursday falls on a
non-duty day then the data will be retrieved two days prior. Required PRR data is contained in
the template available from the III Corps G1 SharePoint and further defined TAB C.

d. Cross Leveling of Personnel Between FOSCOM Units.

(1) Less EOD, chemical and ADA Units, Division commanders exercising
TRA (either via attachment for FULL ADCON or TRA only) may cross-level personnel between
their collocated Division Units to meet mission and deployment standards. For III Corps
operational commanders (Division) dual-hatted as Army SCs who desire to cross-level personnel
between FORSCOM Units resident on their installations, the SC, informed by ARFORGEN and
input from the Unit chain of command, may direct the cross-leveling action. It is the SC's
responsibility and within his authority to determine the operational feasibility and acceptability to
cross-level personnel from the Unit. This coordination is based on trust amongst FORSCOM
operational commanders and is made in the best interest of mission readiness.

(2) As an exception to paragraph 4. d. (1) above, SCs may not override a negative
decision from a commander executing TRA of EOD, chemical or ADA Units. In this case, the SC
must coordinate with the commanders of the 20th SUPCOM and 32d AAMDC respectively. The
commanders of the 20th SUPCOM and 32d AAMDC retain final decision authority.

(3) Commanders exercising TRA for non-collocated Units may direct cross-leveling of
personnel within those non-collocated Units for which he exercises TRA, but may not cross-level
between installations or divert inbound Soldiers without obtaining III Corps/FORSCOM approval.
III Corps/FORSCOM will consult with HRC on personnel issues. FORSCOM
(ICW HRC) reserves decision authority on all cross-leveling of personnel between installations.

COMMAND)

(4) III Corps will be informed of all personnel cross-leveling actions. A common picture
for personnel between III Corps, FORSCOM and its operational Units and HQDA is critical to
managing a modular expeditionary Army.

e. Stop Loss/Stop Move. The Stop Loss program terminated on 31 Dec 09; however, Stop
Movement remains unchanged. For all Units with a LAD exception to policy for Stop Move must
be submitted through III Corps HQ prior to being sent to HRC. Requests for exception to policy
must be fully justified and submitted through the chain of command to III Corps for processing.
Request must be processed through the chain of command and reach HRC NLT 60 days prior to
scheduled movement date. Strength Management Branch POC can be reached at DSN 738-
3329.

f. Command Management. Centralized selection list (CSL) related actions must be

submitted through III Corps HQ prior to being sent to HRC. This includes command curtailments,
extensions and declinations, and deletions from the CSL.

(1) If the extension/curtailment is 30 days or less, the approval authority is the division
level commander (MG and above).

(2) If the extension/curtailment is 31 to 60 days, the approval authority is the CG,

FORSCOM.

(3) If the extension/curtailment is greater than 60 days, the approval authority is the
Chief of Staff, Army, currently delegated to the DCofS, G-1 (MILPER MSG 08-270).

(4) No matter who the approval authority is, all extensions/curtailments need to be
coordinated with III Corps HQ prior to being sent to FORSCOM. Strength Management Branch
POC can be reached at DSN 738-3329.

g. Field Grade Officer Management. SC are responsible for the management of the
instillation Field Grade slate. Senior Officer by branch oversight and input on each instillation is
necessary to assist the Senior Command with Field Grade Slating decisions. Functional Brigade
Commanders (Support, Signal, Fires, Engineer Brigades) will work in conjunction with their
Division counterpart (G1, G2, G3, G4) to created the recommended Field Grade Slate for SC
approval.

h. Remapping UICs.

(1) Permanent Orders (POs) reflect primary attachment for TRA purposes and
secondary attachment to a Senior Commander (for the rest). To request a permanent change to
TRA, an official memorandum must be submitted to III Corps G-3 for review and submission to
FORSCOM. This will allow FORSCOM G-3 to issue new POs for realignment, as well as adjust
the FORSCOM C2 EXORD. This, in turn, will allow HRC to re-map to the desired UIC.

(2) The TRA relationships of TDA organizations are not addressed in the FORSCOM C2
EXORD; therefore, FORSCOM G-8 orders do not reflect TRA, they only reflect assignment and
attachment. When the POs attach a UIC to the CG/Corps, the Corps G3 can publish a local
order attaching a UIC for TRA. A change to the FORSCOM C2 EXORD is not required.

i. Unit Status Report (USR).

(1) Unit Status Reporting is IAW AR 220-1. The SC remains responsible for processing
and submitting USRs for all Units residing on his installation. Units will provide a copy of the USR

APPENDIX 2 (PERSONNEL SERVICES SUPPORT) TO ANNEX F (SUSTAINMENT) TO

ANNEX F (SUSTAINMENT) TO OPERATION ORDER 14-09-1027 (SUSTAINMENT MISSION
COMMAND)

to the commander responsible for training and readiness authority (if not the SC) to assist that
commander in managing Unit readiness.

(2) If interim TRA alignments are established, Units will provide a copy of their USR to
the commander exercising interim TRA, and to the extent possible, to the commander normally
responsible for TRA. Commanders exercising interim TRA are primarily responsible for the
training and readiness of the designated Units during the interim TRA period. Unless otherwise
directed, no new composite division or brigade-level USRs are required based solely on
attachment of Units for training and readiness authority or ADCON/Title 10 support.

j. Military Personnel Policy and Programs.

Brigade Acting Senior Commanders. If the Division Commanders are deployed, the III Corps
Commander will serve as the senior rater for the Brigade Acting Senior Commanders.

(c) Division Commanders will be rated by Corps Commanders and senior rated by the
FORSCOM Commander. When Corps Commanders are deployed:

1. The deployed Corps Commanders will rate the Corps Acting Senior Commanders.
The FORSCOM Commander will senior rate the Corps Acting Senior Commanders.

2. Division Commanders, who are not deployed, but whose rater is deployed, will be
rated and senior rated by the FORSCOM Commander.

(d) Deployed Division Commanders will be rated and senior rated by their chains of

FORSCOM Commander will serve as the senior rater for the Division Acting Senior
Commanders.

(e) FORSCOM Commanders are rated by FORSCOM operational commanders.

Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the FORSCOM G-1. The “strawman” OER Rating
Scheme in TAB A reflects Brigade-level EXORD end state. Rating schemes are normally
effective upon date of attachment for ADCON or TRA.

(f) The FORSCOM Commander has received an exception to policy to rate and senior
rate a Division Commander, if and when required. Other issues relating to this Headquarters
