Supporting and Sustaining Activities
Personnel Services
The core functional responsibilities of a manpower and
personnel directorate of a joint staff (J-1) are
accomplished during DSCA operations.
Personnel Support. The authorities and responsibilities
for personnel support to DSCA operations are largely the
same as those for any other DOD mission set.
Personnel
Accountability. Personnel
accountability,
strength reporting, and manpower management are the
focal points for a joint force J-1 during DSCA operations.
Service personnel elements supporting home station
deployments should accomplish all processing and
reporting requirements before unit deployment. The
employing joint task force will normally establish a joint
personnel
reception
center
to
conduct
personnel
accountability and to ensure that arriving units are ready
for employment.
Intelligence Support
Commanders should expect force protection to be
integrated into domestic and domestic support operations
due to a heightened awareness of threats. These needs and
expectations pose unique issues in meeting the
commander’s need for information to support DSCA
operations. DOD intelligence components and any unit
performing an intelligence function are governed by
DODD 5240.01, DOD Intelligence Activities; DOD
Manual 5240.01, Procedures Governing the Conduct of
DOD Intelligence Activities; DODD 5148, Intelligence
Oversight; and DOD 5240.1-R, Procedures Governing
the Activities of DOD Intelligence Components that Affect
United States Persons. Other DOD personnel are subject
to
