Sustainment
The Military Decisionmaking Process
� Establishes personnel recovery coordination measures.
� Synchronizes air and missile defense.
� Implements operational area security to include security of lines of communications,
antiterrorism measures, and law enforcement operations.
� Ensures survivability measures reduce vulnerabilities.
� Refines chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear operations.
4-125. The following officers are responsible for sustainment during the war game:
� ACOS, G-1 (S-1), personnel.
� ACOS, G-4 (S-4), logistics.
� ACOS, G-8, financial management.
� Surgeon.
4-126. During the war game, the G-1 (S-1) assesses the personnel aspect of building and maintaining the
combat power of units. This officer identifies potential shortfalls and recommends COAs to ensure units
maintain adequate manning to accomplish their mission. As the primary staff officer assessing the human
resources planning considerations to support sustainment operations, the G-1 (S-1) provides human
resources support for the operation.
4-127. The G-4 (S-4) assesses the logistics feasibility of each war-gamed COA. This officer determines
critical requirements for each logistics function (classes I through VII, IX, and X) and identifies potential
problems and deficiencies. The G-4 (S-4) assesses the status of all logistics functions required to support
the COA, including potential support required to provide essential services to the civilians, and compares it
to available assets. This officer identifies potential shortfalls and recommends actions to eliminate or
reduce their effects. While improvising can contribute to responsiveness, only accurately predicting
requirements for each logistics function can ensure continuous sustainment. The logistics officer ensures
that available movement times and assets support each COA.
4-128. During the war game, the G-8 assesses the commander’s area of responsibility to determine the
best COA for use of resources. This assessment includes both core functions of financial management:
resource management and finance operations. This officer determines partner relationships (joint,
interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational), requirements for special funding, and support to the
procurement process.
4-129. The surgeon section coordinates, monitors, and synchronizes the execution of the Army health
system (AHS) activities for the command for each war-gamed COA to ensure a fit and healthy force.
Mission Command
4-130. The following officers are responsible for aspects of mission command during the war game:
� ACOS, G-6 (S-6), signal.
� ACOS, G-7 (S-7), inform and influence activities.
� ACOS, G-9 (S-9), civil affairs operations.
� Red team officer.
� Staff Judge Advocate.
� Operations research and systems analysis officer.
� Safety officer.
4-131. The G-6 (S-6) assesses network operations, electromagnetic spectrum operations, network defense,
and information protection feasibility of each war-gamed COA. The G-6 (S-6), determines communication
systems requirements and compares them to available assets, identifies potential shortfalls, and
recommends actions to eliminate or reduce their effects.
4-132. The G-7 (S-7) assesses how effectively the operations reflect the inform and influence activities;
the effectiveness of capabilities to execute (deliver) inform and influence activities in support of each war-
