TODAY'S FOCUS
Personnel Services Delivery Redesign (PSDR)

The Adjutant General Directorate (TAGD) of Human Resources Command  
(HRC), in coordination with the Army G1 and the Soldier Support  
Institute, is leading the HR community's response to Army  
transformation through the Personnel Services Delivery Redesign (PSDR).

PSDR migrates the core of HR support to TOE BDE and BN S1 sections;  
provides additional personnel and equipment resources to the TOE S1;  
and provides new theater level TOE HR units for casualty reporting,  
postal operations, and R5 (reception, return to duty, rest and  
recuperation, replacement, and redeployment) Personnel Accountability  
Teams (PAT).

• Migrating tasks means expanding many personnel tasks performed at  
brigade and below, and adding over 20 new tasks. The brigade and  
battalion S1s will be staffed, equipped, and trained to absorb the  
increased workload.

• Organic HR professionals in the TOE BCT/BDE and BN S1 sections are  
the basic building block within this organizational concept. This  
design calls for a robust S1 team with the knowledge, skills, and  
ability to interface with the top of the Army.

• Equipment to access HR systems and the authority to accomplish the  
new and expanded tasks will bring personnel services as close as  
possible to Soldiers and commanders. Vital network connectivity and  
bandwidth are provided through access to satellite systems.

• New HR units are designed to be modular, scalable and flexible.  
These new organizations provide more effective and efficient support  
to the modular, joint, expeditionary Army. The modular structure of  
postal, R5 PATs, and casualty support allows for the employment of  
the tailored, minimal force structure required for a unique theater.

• Implementation of PSDR consists of a phased fielding of equipment,  
personnel, and training that started in FY05 and is scheduled for  
completion no later than the end of FY08. The Soldier Support  
Institute will train transforming units and synchronize their efforts  
with the arrival of the additional personnel assets and equipment.

The Army G3 will publish an implementation order with the timeline  
for PSDR. The PSDR implementation plan will factor in Inter-Global  
Positioning and Basing Strategy (IGPBS), Base Realignment and Closure  
(BRAC) decisions, unit manning, modularity, and the deployment  
schedule of the total Army.

WEEKEND SPORTS WRAP-UP
A great start for our Army pro stock motorcycle riders this weekend  
in Gainesville, FL! This was their first race of the year and ended  
with both drivers facing each other in the finals. Angelle ended up  
coming out on top, beating Antron after he had a red light foul. Tony  
Shumacher lost in the first round to Doug Herbert. The NASCAR race in  
Atlanta was postponed until today at 11:00am ET due to weather. Army  
Bull Rider, Mike Lee, was in Tacoma this weekend and ultimately  
finished 22nd in the Average. He is currently still 2nd in the BFTS  
world standings.
