             APPENDIX I (PERSONNEL SERVICE SUPPORT) TO ANNEX C (PERSONNEL)
             TO IST COSCOM OPORDER DESERT STORM (U)

             1. (U) GENERAL. Personnel Service Support will be reduced
             to essential services dur.ing the transition from Phase I to
             Phase 11 at the same time that we will be moving the PSS
             support b"e from the Dammam area forward to LOOBASE
             CHARLIE. Personnel Strength Accountability is absolutely
             essential during all phases of tactical operations. We must
             be able to account for every sinile soldier assigned or
             attached to our units at any given time. This personnel
             accountability is essential to accurate casualty reporting
             where we have a morale as well as a regulatory requirement to
             accurately account for each and every soldier who becomes a
             casualty during this war. This same accountability will be
             the basis from which we provide individual replacements to
             units and we must adjust our accountability to reflect these
             loseg and gains.

             2. (U) Concept of Operation. The concept for personnel
             accountability will remain essentially the same for all
             phases of the operation with the exception that the personnel
             service company will change its location from SANG compound
             to the vicinity of LOOBASE CHARLIE. Reliable communications
             will become increasingly difficult as we progress form Phase
             I to Phase III which will require innovative methods to '
             ensure that we can communicate essential information in a
             t'imely manner. All echelons in the personnel accountability
             chain from the Bn PAC. Group and Brigade S-1, COSCOM G-1.
             PSC. Replacement Deta@ent and Casualty Operations Center
             must maintain back up files which can be used to reconstitute
ata files whether due to enemy action or automation
             files.

             3. (U) EXECUTION,

                 (U) Strength Accounting: Personnel Strength
             Accounting in the Area of Operations. (AO) will be
             accomplished with the Tactical Army Combat Service Support
             Computer System (TACCS) and/or manual reporting (whichever is
             feasible for hostile environment). Unit commanders must
             conduct personnel asset type inventory formations whenever
             they are unsure of their personnel accountability.

                    (1) (U) Strength Reports.

                         (a)  (U) Personnel Daily Summary (PDS) reports
             will be submitted by the MSC8 to the ACofS. 01 at COSCOM MAIN
             CP and will show aggregated deployment strengths by officer.
             warrant officer, enlisted and civilians (when applicable)
             categories. All  reports will be submitted daily NLT 0800
             Zulu. with data current as of 0300 Zulu. When units are
             placed under a command relationship (attached) between MSCS.
