Author Description

This Army tactics, techniques, and procedures (ATTP) manual provides doctrinal guidance and procedures that will enhance the delivery of human resources (HR) support in brigade and battalion S-1 sections. It will help HR leaders to guide actions and provide procedures to enable decision making. This publication is nested with Field Manual (FM) 1-0, Human Resources Support, and provides overarching doctrinal guidance and direction for conducting S-1 operations. ATTP 1-0.1 promotes a common understanding of HR support fundamentals at battalion, brigade, or brigade equivalent level S-1 sections throughout the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) cycle. This manual, along with FM 1-0, provides sufficient information to allow for execution of all required HR missions and functions dictated by current operational requirements and anticipated future actions. ATTP 1-0.1 provides the doctrinal base for developing operations plans (OPLANs) and associated standing operating procedures (SOPs). Leaders and HR operators at all levels must apply these fundamentals using the military decision-making process (MDMP); troop leading procedures; and mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, time available, civil considerations (METT-TC). This publication is an authoritative guide that requires judgment in application. ATTP 1-0.1 was previously published as Field Manual Interim 1-0.1 to address the Army's HR transformation concept and the transition to Personnel Services Delivery Redesign (PSDR), which transferred and consolidated HR functions at brigade and battalion-level. This transition supported Army transformation from large, powerful fixed organizations, typically a division, to a brigade-centric design based on smaller, more self-contained organizations. Likewise, the S-1 structure was enhanced to support S-1 operations throughout all force pools of ARFORGEN, and S-1s now have the capabilities and resources to plan, coordinate, and execute all HR support core
