             individual redirect mail for individuals and sections located
             in the rear area will be redirected by the unit to the main
             APO 09657 location for redirect service back to the 336th
             Postal Company. See Appendix 3 for explanation.

                     (4) (U) REPLACEMENT OPERATIONS: Replacement
             Operations will be conducted by an augmentation replacement
             detachment attached to HHC let COSCOM. With assistance from
             HHC, let COSCOM, this detachment-.will receive. house, feed
             &nd process all COSCOM replacements from the Corps
             Replacement Detachment. It is assumed that this detachment
             will be located forward in the vicinity of the COSCOM CP.
             Units will normally be required to come back to the Repo for
             pickup of replacements. Replacement will be attached to MSC9
             on orders by 0-1 PMD based on current PRR'G submitted to GI
             by the MSCG and the prioritization Of support provided by the
             03/Commander. The accuracy and timely submission of the PRR
             as well as spot report updates cannot be overemphasized.

                     (5) (U) CASUALTIES: Commanders are advised that
             once hostilities commence, it will be virtually impossible
             for units/commanders to track the location and/or status of
             evacuated personnel. Once a soldier is     evacuated by
             his/her unit then an inventory of personal property should be
             conducted and property safeguarded. Mail should be
             redirected to 'search' and appropriate SIDPERS transaction
             entry provided to the ?SC. Hopefully many of these evacuees
             will be return to duty in a few days to his/her parent unit.
             It is also possible that their return to duty soldiers will
             be reassigned to an entire new unit based upon the tactical
eplacements. The resulting
             reassignment confusion will probably not be upon outbreak of
             hostilities. See Appbndix 2 for explanation of services and
             sorted out until the sensation of hostilities.

                     (6) (U) INSPECTOR GENERAL (IGI: The IO will be
             colocated with the MAIN CP. Primarily to handle special
             inspections. One IO representative will be located in the
             rear to cover those soldiers remaining at the rear locations.

                     (7) (U)    RED CROSS: Will initially be located in
             the COSCOM Rear.   As message center becomes available they
             will then operate  from the COSCOM Main location to provide
             better support to  units displaced forward. Telephonic
             notification from  the ARC to the MSCA will continue as
             primary means for  notification. Upon commencement of
             hostilities Red Cross message traffic will be restricted to
             bona fide emergencies involving soldiers immediate family.

                     (8) (U) MORALE WELFARE & RECREATION (MWR): All MWR
             programs are on hold until further notice; in addition; Half
             Moon Bay allocations will be returned to CORPS. Units should
             take organic MWR equipment with them as they displace to
