Personnel Services Delivery Redesign (PSDR)

• Roadmap for delivery of end-to-end personnel services supporting modular transformation of the Army– Empowers commanders to care for Soldiers with organic

professionals– Provides Soldier-specific support at Battalion and Brigade S1

sections– Eliminates requirement to unplug personnel services capability

from an external structure to support BCT deployments

• Recognizes changes in technology enable more timely and effective delivery of personnel services

• Migrates tasks from existing SRC12 structure (SSB/PSB) to S1s as SRC12 structure changes

• Supports CSA’s concept to develop modular, expeditionary BCTs which easily plug into Joint and Theater C2 structure– BCTs have embedded capability without increasing footprint– BCTs perform daily personnel services tasks the same way in

garrison or deployed

5

Scientific Approach to Workforce Analysis

• Two-phased process– SME/MARC analysis of Battalion S1 Section– Workforce time-to-task capture on-site at FCKY in support of Pilot

• SME/MARC analysis utilized PSDR-developed task/process list in conjunction with 1998 MARC data

– Indicated structure for S1 section of 800-Soldier Battalion – 11 Conflict/14 Sustained

– PSDR Pilot uses 9 Soldiers in same section based on availability of SRC 12 structure

• Workforce capture during Pilot– All S1 section members and the MPD participate – Web-based capture tool developed and fielded at FCKY– Data captured daily commencing 17 January

• USAFMSA and TRAC-Lee validated process and made on site visits during monthly validation periods

• Results from this analysis supported validation of the FDU submission in support of PSDR

Issues and Challenges – Implementation While at War

• Implementation of PSDR Army-wide must be synchronized with Modularity and other force structure changes• Approach used with the pilot at 101st Airborne Division (AASLT) was

concurrent PSDR and modular conversion • Concurrent fielding of equipment to battalion and brigade essential;

e.g., VSAT, DEERS/RAPIDS terminals, etc.• Challenges:

• Implementing PSDR where the Personnel Services Battalion is split among multiple locations

• Leader education• Culture shift• Clear delineation between S1/G1 personnel tasks and garrison

personnel tasks (performed by IMA thru installation MPDs)

Implementation Training Concept

• 3 New Organizational Training Team (NOTT) – Teams consist of 6 personnel (1/1/4) with AC/RC mix

• SSI Proponent and Host for Teams • 2-year AC mission & 3-year RC mission • Teams- Provide support during the 9 to 11 month implementation window

– Coordination• Provide assistance with documentation, coordination with IMA, HRC and each affected

installation– Orientation/Planning

• Briefing to unit leadership, assist with systems access, prep OPORDERS, provide training and distribution plans

– Reset & Training• Provide onsite assistance with unit reset, systems training, equipment transfers, task

specific training and transfer of tasks and records from IMA– Operational Validation

• Provide sustainment training as necessary, provide evaluation standards and certification as necessary

– Direct link to HRC and AG School for all PSDR/FDU Implementation issues

23

PSDR Summary

“This PSDR concept is working very well.” MAJ Chris Gosselin, 101st Sustainment BDE S1

Current status …

•Phase I completed with the 101st ABN DIV (ASSLT) with feedback mechanisms to obtain/apply PSDR lessons learned

• Phase II implementation planned and New Organization Training (NOT) Teams ready to launch

Other Transformation Initiatives

25

Personnel Work Centers Assume MILPAY Responsibilities

• MILPAY function migrates to HR community with fielding of DIMHRS-right?

• APTD executed several MILPAY workgroups– Determined task/processes required– Crosswalked tasks/processes with DIMHRS deliverables

• Work Group analysis indicates DIMHRS will execute majority of required processes, but human expertise still required for some actions– Soldier support requires MILPAY expertise, including knowledge of

entitlements– Technical MILPAY expertise required for error resolution– PSDR recognizes Bde S1 section as best location for MILPAY expertise

• Current FM FDU eliminates all MILPAY spaces• 474 spaces turned back to Army• Analysis indicates approximately 300 spaces should be

allocated for MILPAY— including one in each Bde/BCT (1 NCO)
