2. (U) PURPOSE: TO CLARIFY THE COMBAT AND OPERATIONAL STRESS
CONTROL (COSC) FUNCTIONS (ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES) OF ARMY
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT (AMEDD) PERSONNEL AND PROVIDE ARMY MEDICAL
COMMANDERS AND PLANNERS WITH GUIDANCE FOR DEVELOPING THE
CONCEPT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT. AMEDD PERSONNEL
EXECUTING THE COSC FUNCTION SERVE IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT UNIT
SETTINGS ACROSS ALL COMPONENTS, INCLUDING OPERATIONAL UNITS,
MEDICAL FACILITIES, AND COSC DETACHMENTS.
2.A. (U) ALL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, MEDICAL, LINE, AND UNIT MINISTRY
PERSONNEL HAVE ROLES IN MAINTAINING PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH DURING
ARMY OPERATIONS.
2.B. (U) COSC PERSONNEL INCLUDE MEDICAL SPECIALTIES THAT SPECIALIZE
IN COMBAT/OPERATIONAL STRESS REACTION (COSR) PREVENTION AND COSC
FUNCTIONS INCLUDE CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKERS, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS,
PSYCHIATRISTS, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS, PSYCHIATRIC NURSE
PRACTITIONERS, PSYCHIATRIC NURSES, ENLISTED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
SPECIALISTS, AND ENLISTED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY SPECIALISTS.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OFFICERS (BHOS) SPECIFICALLY CONSIST OF CLINICAL
SOCIAL WORKERS, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS, PSYCHIATRISTS, PSYCHIATRIC
NURSE PRACTITIONERS, AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS WITH PSYCHIATRIC
TRAINING.
2.C. (U) LINE AND UNIT MINISTRY PERSONNEL SUPPORT PSYCHOLOGICAL
HEALTH DURING OPERATIONS AND DETAILED ENUMERATION OF THEIR ROLES
AND RESPONSIBILITIES IS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS ALARACT.
3. (U) BACKGROUND: REFERENCE 1.A. REQUIRES THE SECRETARY OF THE
ARMY TO DEVELOP COMPREHENSIVE COSC POLICIES AND PROGRAMS FOR
ARMY-SPECIFIC OPERATIONS FROM GARRISON TO THE BATTLEFIELD. THIS
ALARACT COMMUNICATES INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION TO HELP ARMY
COMMANDERS TASK-ORGANIZE THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FORCE, IN
COORDINATION WITH OTHER MEDICAL ASSETS, AND DIRECT, COORDINATE,
AND SYNCHRONIZE COSC ACTIONS IN GARRISON AND DURING OPERATIONS.
4. (U) SITUATION: MEDICAL COMMANDERS, MEDICAL PLANNERS, MEDICAL
LEADERS, AND COMMAND SURGEONS AT ALL LEVELS OF COMMAND IN
PLANNING AND EXECUTING ARMY HEALTH SYSTEM SUPPORT SHOULD
INCORPORATE THE GUIDANCE IN THIS ALARACT. THIS ALARACT COVERS
PLANNING AND EXECUTING THE COSC FUNCTION IN BOTH THE GARRISON
AND DEPLOYED ENVIRONMENT. ARMY AMEDD PERSONNEL EXECUTING THE
COSC FUNCTION SHOULD INCORPORATE THE INFORMATION IN THIS ALARACT
INTO PLANNING AND EXECUTING THEIR ACTIVITIES AS CAPABILITIES IN THE
ARMY’S COSC FUNCTION.
5. (U) IN ACCORDANCE WITH REFERENCE 1.A., COSC ACTIVITIES INCLUDE
PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF STRESS REACTIONS AND MENTAL HEALTH
DISORDERS IN GARRISON.
5.A. (U) COSC PRINCIPLES ENHANCE ADAPTIVE STRESS REACTIONS, PREVENT
MALADAPTIVE STRESS REACTIONS, BUILD RESILIENCY SKILLS, AND ASSIST
SOLDIERS IN ADDRESSING COSRS AND BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS. COSC
MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES ARE BREVITY, IMMEDIACY, CONTACT,
EXPECTANCY, PROXIMITY, AND SIMPLICITY (BICEPS).
5.B. (U) PLANNING COSC DELIVERY IN GARRISON. EFFECTIVE GARRISON COSC
REQUIRES UNDERSTANDING THE OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND BUILDING
COHESIVE TEAMS COMPOSED OF ARMY, JOINT, INTERAGENCY, AND CIVILIAN
PARTNERS. IT ENCOMPASSES THE PRE-DEPLOYMENT AND POST-
DEPLOYMENT TIMEFRAMES AND CONSIDERS REAR DETACHMENTS DURING
OPERATIONS.
5.C. (U) MOST TREATMENT IN GARRISON OCCURS THROUGH DEFENSE
HEALTH AGENCY ADMINISTERED MEDICAL FACILITIES. COSC PLANNING
NEEDS TO BALANCE READINESS AND HEALTH. BHOS MUST IMPROVE THEIR
MILITARY AND CLINICAL READINESS WHILE PREVENTING STRESS REACTIONS
AND TREATING MENTAL ILLNESS FOR THE SOLDIERS THEY SUPPORT. THEY
ARE ALSO INSTRUMENTAL IN TRAINING AND PLANNING FOR DELIVERING
CLINICAL SUPPORT DURING OPERATIONS. COSC OPERATING IN A GARRISON
ENVIRONMENT IMPACTS READINESS OF THE FORCE THROUGH INTEGRATION
AND COLLABORATION WITH THE SUPPORTING MILITARY TREATMENT FACILITY
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH (BH) CLINIC. INSTALLATION DIRECTORS OF
PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH ENSURE ORGANIZATIONAL PROCESSES ENABLE
ALL BHOS ON THE INSTALLATION TO PERFORM CLINICAL CARE.
5.D. (U) MEDICAL LEADERS SHOULD OBTAIN THEIR COMMANDER’S INTENT ON
HOW AND WHERE BHOS SHOULD BE UTILIZED. BHOS AT ECHELONS BELOW
DIVISION SHOULD SPEND APPROXIMATELY 50 PERCENT OF THEIR TIME
PERFORMING CLINICAL CARE WHILE IN GARRISON AND NOT CONDUCTING
FIELD EXERCISES. MEDICAL LEADERS AND BHOS CAN FACILITATE THEIR
COMMANDER’S DECISION MAKING WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATING
ENVIRONMENT THAT INCLUDES MEASURES OF THE HEALTH AND READINESS
OF THE FORCE. SEE ATTACHMENT 1 FOR EXAMPLES OF MEASURES THAT CAN
HELP SUPPORT DECISION MAKING.
5.E. (U) SPECIFIED COSC TASKS INCLUDE PREVENTION OF OPERATIONAL
STRESS REACTIONS (OSRS), IDENTIFICATION OF OSR, MANAGEMENT OF OSR
(INCLUDING AS CLOSE TO THE UNIT AS POSSIBLE), DELIVERY OF
PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID, SURVEILLANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS,
TRIAGE AND TREATMENT OF PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS, AND REFERRAL FOR
SPECIALTY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AS INDICATED.
5.F. (U) REASONABLE PLANNING OBJECTIVES INCLUDE A BEHAVIORALLY
READY FORCE AND HAVING APPROPRIATE MEASURES IN PLACE TO ENSURE
OPERATIONAL BH NEEDS ARE MET. MEASURING EFFICACY OF COSC
ACTIVITIES ON HEALTH MAY BE CHALLENGING BECAUSE OF COMPLEXITY IN
THE OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR IS INFLUENCED BY
COUNTLESS BIOLOGICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND SOCIAL FACTORS.
5.G. (U) COSC ACTIVITIES IN GARRISON SHOULD INFORM AND PREPARE UNITS
AND BHOS FOR OPERATIONS OTHER THAN WAR AND COMBAT OPERATIONS.
BHOS SHOULD TRAIN ON COSC TASKS REQUIRED BY REFERENCE 1.A. AND
UTILIZE TIME IN GARRISON TO DEVELOP WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH
ALLIED PROFESSIONALS.
5.G.1. (U) COORDINATION WITH OTHER INSTALLATION AND UNIT RESOURCES,
SUCH AS THE INSTALLATION DIRECTOR OF PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH,
HOLISTIC HEALTH AND FITNESS PERFORMANCE TEAM, SPECIFICALLY WITH
THE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST, SHOULD BE DONE TO MAXIMIZE THESE
EFFORTS AND MEASURES.
5.G.2. (U) BHOS SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH PRINCIPLES OF SPIRITUAL
FITNESS AND UNDERSTAND THE ROLE OF THE UNIT MINISTRY TEAM IN
EXECUTING COSC ACTIVITIES. BHOS SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE ROLE OF
SPIRITUAL READINESS AND RESILIENCE AND GAIN EXPERIENCE WITH
UTILIZING UNIT MINISTRY TEAMS TO IMPROVE THE EFFICACY OF OSR
PREVENTION EFFORTS.
5.H. (U) COSC ACTIVITIES IN ALL OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS IS RELIANT ON
COSC PERSONNEL MAINTAINING CLINICAL SKILLS. BHOS MUST HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MAINTAIN CLINICAL SKILLS. BHOS SHOULD PROVIDE
DIRECT CARE WHILE IN GARRISON FOR A PORTION OF THEIR DUTY TIME AS
DETERMINED BY MISSION NEEDS, CREDENTIALING AND LICENSING
REQUIREMENTS, CLINICAL EXPERIENCE OF THE BHO (FOR EXAMPLE, EARLY
CAREER PROVIDERS GENERALLY WILL NEED MORE HOURS TO CONSOLIDATE
SKILLS), AND OTHER FACTORS. TO IMPROVE CLINICAL SKILLS AND PREPARE
FOR FORWARD DEPLOYMENT AND COMBAT OPERATIONS, BHOS SHOULD
SEEK OPPORTUNITIES TO ASSESS AND TREAT COMPLEX PATIENTS
SUFFERING FROM SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS AND NEUROPSYCHIATRIC
EFFECTS OF COMBAT OPERATIONS.
5.I. (U) BHO NON-CLINICAL ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE CLOSELY ALIGNED TO
THEIR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN PARAGRAPH 5.B. SURVEILLANCE OF
MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS, UNIT RISK FACTOR ASSESSMENT,
COORDINATION TO DELIVER PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID PROGRAMS, AND
PREVENTION OF PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS ARE CORE COSC TASKS THAT
BHOS CAN PERFORM IN GARRISON. COMMANDERS AND COMMAND
SURGEONS SHOULD ENSURE THAT BHO NON-CLINICAL ACTIVITIES SUPPORT
THE HEALTH OF THE FORCE AND DEPLOYMENT READINESS OF THE BHO.
BHOS MUST PERFORM NON-CLINICAL OPERATIONAL DUTIES TO MAINTAIN
THEIR READINESS AND COMMANDERS SHOULD BALANCE THIS WITH CLINICAL
CARE EXPECTATIONS.
5.J. (U) ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF AMEDD PERSONNEL SUPPORTING
THE COSC FUNCTION IN GARRISON. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF ALL
AMEDD PERSONNEL, INCLUDING DIVISION PSYCHIATRISTS, BRIGADE
PSYCHOLOGISTS, BRIGADE SOCIAL WORKERS, INSTALLATION DIRECTORS OF
PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS, AND AMEDD
PERSONNEL IN COSC DETACHMENTS ARE OUTLINED IN ATTACHMENT 2.
6. (U) IN ACCORDANCE WITH REFERENCE 1.A., COSC ACTIVITIES INCLUDE
PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF STRESS REACTIONS AND MENTAL HEALTH
DISORDERS DURING ARMY OPERATIONS OTHER THAN WAR.
6.A. (U) PLANNING COSC DELIVERY IN OPERATIONS OTHER THAN WAR
REQUIRES SURVEILLANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS, PROJECTING
OPERATIONAL STRESS REACTION AND PSYCHIATRIC CASUALTY RATES, AND
IMPLEMENTING A STRUCTURE OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE IN
COORDINATION WITH THE MEDICAL ROLES OF CARE. DATA CAN BE USED TO
DEFINE MINIMAL BH FORCE REQUIREMENTS TO SUPPORT OPERATIONS OF
VARYING LENGTH. SEE ATTACHMENT 3 FOR LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE BH
UTILIZATION RATES IN GARRISON.
6.B. (U) THE CURRENT MODIFIED TABLE OF ORGANIZATION AND EQUIPMENT
FOR ARMORED AND INFANTRY BRIGADE COMBAT TEAMS REFLECTS A
REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF TWO BHOS AND TWO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
TECHS PER APPROXIMATELY 4000 SOLDIERS AND ARE ROUGHLY CONSISTENT
WITH OPTIMAL MANNING LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE GLOBAL WAR ON
TERROR. THESE NUMBERS SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN THE ABSENCE OF
SURVEILLANCE AND WORKLOAD DATA AND PLANNERS SHOULD CONTINUALLY
ADJUST THEIR BH CONCEPT OF SUPPORT BASED ON THE OPERATING
ENVIRONMENT. COSC DETACHMENTS PROVIDE AREA COVERAGE TO UNITS
THAT LACK ORGANIC BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PERSONNEL AND MAY ALSO
SUPPORT ARMORED AND INFANTRY BRIGADE COMBAT TEAMS DEPENDING ON
OPERATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
6.C. (U) VIRTUAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ENHANCES BHOS’ ABILITY TO
CONDUCT PREVENTION AND TREATMENT ACTIVITIES IN GEOGRAPHICALLY
DISPERSED OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS. PLANNERS SHOULD OPTIMIZE THEIR
CONCEPT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SUPPORT BY EMPLOYING VIRTUAL
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE, IF OPERATIONAL
CIRCUMSTANCES PERMIT. LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE WAR ON TERROR,
THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC AND EXPANSION OF TELEHEALTH SUGGEST
THAT VIRTUAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, BOTH AUDIO/VISUAL AND AUDIO ONLY, IS
EQUIVALENT TO FACE TO FACE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE IN
EFFECTIVENESS AND OVERALL SATISFACTION.
6.D. (U) NON-BH MEDICAL PERSONNEL AND UNIT MINISTRY TEAMS SHOULD BE
INCLUDED IN THE CONCEPT OF BH SUPPORT. PHYSICIANS, PHYSICIAN
ASSISTANTS, NURSES, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS, AND MEDICS ARE
IMPORTANT BH CARE EXTENDERS AND OFTEN PROVIDE BH SUPPORT IN THE
FORM OF MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, MEDICAL COUNSELING, AND MENTAL
HEALTH TRIAGE. BHOS PROVIDE LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATION TO SUPPORT
NON-BH MEDICAL PROVIDERS’ KNOWLEDGE, CONFIDENCE, AND SKILLS IN
MANAGING ROUTINE BH PROBLEMS. BHOS SHOULD TRAIN NON-MENTAL
HEALTH MEDICAL PERSONNEL ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF STRESS-RELATED
CONDITIONS, PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID, RESILIENCE-BUILDING, AND
MANAGEMENT OF OPERATIONAL STRESS REACTIONS. SPIRITUAL RESILIENCE
IS A CRITICAL ELEMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE, AND PASTORAL
COUNSELING MAY HELP PREVENT AND TREAT OSR. PSYCHIATRISTS PROVIDE
CONSULTATION AND TRAINING TO NON-BH MEDICAL PROVIDERS ON THE
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT OF MENTAL ILLNESS.
6.E. (U) THE STRUCTURE OF BH CARE SHOULD BE ALIGNED WITH AND
COORDINATED WITH OTHER MEDICAL SERVICES TO ENSURE INTEGRATED
DELIVERY OF TRIAGE, ASSESSMENT, DIAGNOSTIC, AND TREATMENT
CAPABILITIES. THIS SHOULD INCLUDE THE ABILITY TO DELIVER
PSYCHOLOGICAL CARE ACCORDING TO BICEPS PRINCIPLES AS CLOSE TO
THE UNIT AS POSSIBLE. SINCE TREATMENT OF COSRS AND ACUTE MILD
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES INVOLVE SIMILAR APPROACHES (FOR EXAMPLE,
REST, EDUCATION, MONITORING, AND EXPECTATION OF RETURN TO DUTY),
RESTORATION CAPABILITIES FOR COSRS AND MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN
INJURIES (MTBIS) MAY BE COMBINED AND COORDINATED.
6.F. (U) ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF AMEDD PERSONNEL EXECUTING
THE COSC FUNCTION IN MILITARY OPERATIONS OTHER THAN WAR: THE
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF BHOS REMAIN THE SAME AS THOSE IN
GARRISON, WITH THE ADDITION OF CLINICAL DUTIES TYPICALLY PERFORMED
BY MEDICAL STAFF IN GARRISON, OPERATIONAL MISSION READINESS, AND
ADDITIONAL ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ENUMERATED IN ATTACHMENT 4.
7. (U) IN ACCORDANCE WITH REFERENCE 1.A., COSC ACTIVITIES INCLUDE
PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF STRESS REACTIONS AND MENTAL HEALTH
DISORDERS ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
7.A. (U) PLANNING COSC DELIVERY IN LARGE SCALE COMBAT OPERATIONS
(LSCO). EFFECTIVE COSC SUPPORT IN LSCO INVOLVES ALL OF THE SAME
COSC ACTIVITIES OUTLINED FOR OPERATIONS OTHER THAN WAR. PLANNING
WILL REQUIRE ADAPTING IN CONTACT TO PREVENT PSYCHIATRIC
CASUALTIES, CONDUCTING INITIAL DIAGNOSIS OF PSYCHIATRIC CONDITIONS,
TREATING COSRS AND PSYCHIATRIC BATTLEFIELD CASUALTIES, AND
PERFORMING PREVENTION IN A BATTLESPACE WHERE COSC CAPABILITIES
WILL BE UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE AND SUBJECT TO ENEMY FIRES,
AND WHERE EVACUATION FOR SERIOUS PSYCHIATRIC CASUALTIES MIGHT BE
SIGNIFICANTLY DELAYED.
7.B. (U) THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF BHOS REMAIN SIMILAR TO
OTHER ENVIRONMENTS WITH THE ADDITION OF INCREASED DEMAND FOR
INTERVENTIONS TO MANAGE COMBAT STRESS REACTIONS AND IMPROVE
RESILIENCE AT THE POPULATION AND INDIVIDUAL LEVEL. BHOS SHOULD
EXPECT TO SUPPORT UNITS AND SOLDIERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED
INTENSE, PROLONGED COMBAT AND SUFFER FROM A HIGH PREVALENCE OF
COMBAT STRESS, ACUTE STRESS DISORDER, AND SUB-ACUTE/CHRONIC MILD
TBI FROM MULTIPLE CONCUSSIVE IMPACTS/BLAST OVERPRESSURE.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON BHO ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
IS INCLUDED IN ATTACHMENT 5.
7.C. (U) THERE IS INADEQUATE DATA TO PROJECT BHO REQUIREMENTS IN
LSCO ENVIRONMENTS, OR WHETHER THE CURRENT ALLOCATION OF 2 BHOS
AND 2 TECHS PER BCT WILL BE ADEQUATE. HOWEVER, BASED ON LESSONS
LEARNED FROM RECENT CONFLICTS, THERE WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE
GREATER RELIANCE ON BUDDY AID STRATEGIES, MEDICS AND PRIMARY CARE
PROVIDERS, HOLISTIC HEALTH AND FITNESS, AS WELL AS ON VIRTUAL BH
OPTIONS. ALL MEDICS, PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, AND HOLISTIC HEALTH
AND FITNESS PERSONNEL SHOULD HAVE FOUNDATIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN
BUDDY AID TOOLS SUCH AS ICOVER FOR ACUTE STRESS REACTIONS,
UNDERSTANDING THE STRESS CONTINUUM, AND MANAGING OSRS AS CLOSE
TO THE UNIT AS POSSIBLE FOLLOWING, MTBI SCREENING (FOR EXAMPLE,
MACE), WITH CONSULTATION AND MORE DEFINITIVE CARE OF SERIOUS
PSYCHIATRIC CASUALTIES AVAILABLE FROM BHOS. BHOS NEED TO HAVE
PROFICIENCY IN IDENTIFYING SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS IN
FORWARD ENVIRONMENTS, SUCH AS PSYCHOSIS AND BIPOLAR DISORDER,
AND IN MANAGING THOSE CONDITIONS IN COLLABORATION WITH A
PSYCHIATRIST AND/OR UNIT SURGEON.
7.D. (U) BATTLEFIELD CIRCULATION OF BHOS MAY HAVE TO BE CURTAILED OR
MODIFIED TO ENSURE THAT BH SERVICES ARE RETAINED AND AVAILABLE
FOR THE LARGEST PROPORTION OF FORCES. MOST BHO ACTIVITIES WILL BE
CONDUCTED IN THE SUPPORT AREA FOR UNITS RETURNING FROM OR
MOVING TO THE CLOSE AREA AND FORWARD LINE OF TROOPS. THIS IS
DIFFERENT FROM THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR PRACTICE OF BHOS
REGULARLY LEAVING THE SUPPORT AREA TO TRAVEL TO FORWARD
POSITIONED UNITS.
7.E. (U) THE STRUCTURE OF BH CARE SHOULD BE ALIGNED WITH AND
COORDINATED WITH OTHER MEDICAL SERVICES TO ENSURE INTEGRATED
DELIVERY OF TRIAGE, ASSESSMENT, DIAGNOSTIC, AND TREATMENT
CAPABILITIES. THIS SHOULD INCLUDE THE ABILITY TO DELIVER
PSYCHOLOGICAL CARE ACCORDING TO BICEPS PRINCIPLES AS CLOSE TO
THE UNIT AS POSSIBLE. SINCE TREATMENT OF COSRS AND ACUTE MILD
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES INVOLVE SIMILAR APPROACHES (FOR EXAMPLE,
REST, EDUCATION, MONITORING, AND EXPECTATION OF RETURN TO DUTY),
RESTORATION CAPABILITIES FOR COSRS AND MTBIS MAY BE COMBINED AND
COORDINATED.
7.F. (U) ADDITIONAL ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
7.F.1. (U) DIVISION PSYCHIATRIST: THE DIVISION PSYCHIATRIST WILL HAVE
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ESTABLISHING THE STRUCTURE OF CARE AND
DISTRIBUTION OF BH RESOURCES WITHIN THE DIVISION IN THE COMBAT
ENVIRONMENT IN COORDINATION WITH THE THEATER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
CONSULTANT, DIVISION SURGEON, MEDICAL PLANNERS, AND BHOS. THE
CAPABILITY OF DELIVERING FORWARD BH CARE NEEDS TO BE BALANCED
WITH THE LIMITATIONS IN RESOURCES, LIMITATIONS IN EVACUATION
CAPABILITIES, AND OTHER OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS. DIVISION
PSYCHIATRISTS WILL ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SELECTING THE MOST
APPROPRIATE PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATION FORMULARY FOR THE GIVEN
OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR BRIGADE AND BATTALION LEVEL MEDICAL
SUPPORT. IF DIVISION PSYCHIATRIST IS NOT LOCATED IN THE AREA OF
OPERATIONS, DIVISION PSYCHIATRIST SHOULD PROVIDE OVER THE HORIZON
MEDICATION FORMULARY RECOMMENDATIONS TO SENIOR BHO IN THE AREA
OF OPERATIONS. THE DIVISION PSYCHIATRIST INTEGRATES WITH AND
INCLUDES DIVISION UNIT MINISTRY TEAM AND HOLISTIC HEALTH AND FITNESS
OFFICER IN ESTABLISHING STRUCTURE OF CARE.
7.F.2. (U) FIRST RESPONDERS INCLUDING PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS, BATTALION
SURGEONS, NURSES, AND MEDICS: BHOS MAY NOT BE CONSISTENTLY
AVAILABLE TO FIRST RESPONDERS DUE TO ADVERSARY DEEP FIRES LIMITING
MOBILITY, MULTI-DOMAIN OPERATIONS DISRUPTING COMMUNICATIONS, AND
CONSTANT OBSERVATION OF MEDICAL OPERATIONS. BHOS SHOULD PROVIDE
FIRST RESPONDERS WITH EDUCATION AND TRAINING PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT
AND DURING ROTATIONS TO THE REAR. FIRST RESPONDERS EXPECT TO
PERFORM PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID AND TRIAGE PSYCHIATRIC CASUALTIES
WITHOUT CONSULTATION WITH A BHO.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
OFFICE OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF, G-4
500 ARMY PENTAGON
WASHINGTON, DC 20310-0500

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Exception to Policy for Serialization of the Flat Rack and Container Roll
In/Out Platform
1. References:
a. Army Regulation (AR) 56-4, Distribution Platform Management and In-Transit
Visibility, 12 November 2024
b. AR 220-1, Army Unit Status Reporting and Force Registration – Consolidated
Polices, 16 August 2022

d. AR 710-3, Inventory Management Asset and Transaction Reporting System, 2
September 2021
e. AR 710-4, Property Accountability, 26 December 2023
2. Purpose: This outlines an Exception to Policy allowing units to account for Flat Rack
and Container Roll In/Out Platform (CROP) in bulk, instead of the current policy
requiring individual recording and tracking by serial numbers in the Accountable
Property System of Record (APSR).
3. Policy Exception: Effective immediately, units are no longer required to track the Flat
Rack (LIN: B83002) nor CROP (LIN: F12581) by serial number in the APSR.
a. Accountability through serial numbers suboptimizes the ‘modular system
exchange process’ that was originally intended to enhance distribution capabilities,
extend operational reach, and improve the endurance of maneuver forces.
Implementing this small change will provide commanders with increased tactical
flexibility and reduce the time sustainment transportation assets spend on station during
resupply missions. Bulk tracking simplifies processes, enables faster inventories, and
reduces the time required for logistics management.
b. These items will now be accounted for in bulk, and individual equipment records
or histories will no longer be maintained in the APSR.
DALO-ZA
SUBJECT: Exception to Policy for Serialization of Flat Racks and Container Roll In/Out
Platforms
c. The Safety of Use Message reporting in the Modification Management
Information System remains unchanged. The major change will be that messages will
apply to all Flat Rack and CROP, or may be specified by manufacturing date (e.g., any
Flat Rack or CROP produced from date to date).
4. Commanders will refer to ALARACT titled REMOVAL OF FLATRACKS AND
CONTAINER ROLLIN/OUT PLATRFORMS (CROP) SERIALIZATION REQUIREMENT
for implementation instructions.
5. Headquarters, Department of the Army G-4 (HQDA G-4) will update AR 710-4 and
AR 710-3 to reflect new accountability requirements for Flat Racks and CROPs.
6. Point of Contact: For further information, please contact Mrs. Tabu N. Brooks at
