SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. In a training environment, leaders must perform a risk assessment in accordance with FM 5-19, Composite Risk Management. Leaders will complete a DA Form 7566 COMPOSITE RISK MANAGEMENT WORKSHEET 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 FM 3-11.4, NBC Protection, FM 3-11.5, CBRN Decontamination. No food or drink is allowed near or around electrical equipment (CPU, file servers, printers, projectors, etc.) due to possible electrical shock or damage to equipment. Exercise care in personal movement in and through such areas. Avoid all electrical cords and associated wiring. In event of electrical storm, you will be instructed to power down equipment. Everyone is responsible for safety.
RISK ASSESSMENT LEVEL. Low.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT. Environmental protection is not just the law but the right thing to do. 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 FM 3-34.5 Environmental Considerations and GTA 05-08-002 ENVIRONMENTAL-RELATED RISK ASSESSMENT.
EVALUATION: You will be evaluated on the HR Plans and Ops final exam.

FM 7-15, Chapter 4. The sustainment warfighting function is the related tasks and systems that provide support and services to ensure freedom of action, extend operational reach, and prolong endurance. The endurance of Army forces is primarily a function of their sustainment. Sustainment determines the depth and duration of Army operations. It is essential to retaining and exploiting the initiative.
Sustainment is the provision of the logistics, personnel services, and health service support necessary to maintain operations until mission accomplishment. Internment, resettlement, and detainee operations fall under the sustainment warfighting function and include elements of all three major subfunctions.
FM 7-15, para 4-77. Personnel services are those sustainment functions related to Soldiers' welfare, readiness, and quality of life. Personnel services complement logistics by planning for and coordinating efforts that provide and sustain personnel.
*ART 4.2.1.4.1 Perform Human Resources Planning
FM 7-15, para 4-93. Human resources (HR) planning support the commander's mission requirements. HR planners conducts mission and planning analysis, creates possible courses of action, analyze and compare courses of action, recommends a solution, and produce an operation plan or order annex. (FM 1-0) (USAAGS)
Army Universal Task List (AUTL).
NOTE: Explain course design.
Transformation content continually refined and improved, when we get updates from the field, Regs or doctrine, S1NET we make the changes to the course material.
We constantly have connection to the field and talk about what is going on. We also have the flexibility and time to analyze and change how we are teaching our courses.
The S-1 course and the HR Plans and Ops Course will load on to the ORB/ERB as military education. The intent is for all components, senior grades (0-4, WOs, Sr NCOs) when identified to serve in BDE S-1 or HROB, to come here for a two-week course in preparation for their assignment.
Please take out your syllabus now and look it over. The syllabus is arranged based on the Thayer Method, as used at the United States Military Academy. The reading and homework assignments are done prior to the instructional period. This prepares you for active discussion and focused questions during our classroom time.
You had a reading assignment for this lesson on Critical Thinking. This is vital and expected from Senior HR professionals. The Army expects you to ask the Why question and come up with well-thought, well-planned, smart courses of action. As senior officers and NCOs, you operate at the level of solutions to problems. You synthesize and evaluate information in to knowledge for your commander. You are able to do this based on your education, experience, reason, background and then you take action.
The reason you ask Why and know when you should ask Why is to take care of Soldiers. The critical thinker knows how to solve the right problem and question. Identifying the correct problem statement is the first step in good MDMP and problem-solving. Being able to communicate effectively with others is working with the DCO and battle staff to propose recommended COAs to the commander.
Adult Learning (Andragogic) and teaching is based on recognising and building on experience; being action oriented; being self directed and based on self motivation; being task or problem centred and with a focus on the learning process rather than just the knowledge content.
Core Adult Learning Principles
The level of learning or knowledge for each task will differ based on the requirement for HR professionals to perform their duties and responsibilities. Once we developed the main objectives from our course goals and doctrine, we compared them to the tasks currently taught. We kept most tasks, but removed those that didn't support the course objectives. We've also added training tasks to those previously taught.
