S-1 Operations — FMI 1-0.01

FMI 1-0.01 promotes a common understanding of HR support fundamentals at Brigade/Brigade Combat Team (BDE/BCT) and BN S-1 sections in both home station and the deployed theater. This manual does not prescribe detailed procedures for the HR support functions. However, it does provide a common baseline for conducting HR support at BDE/BCT and BN levels, as well as other HR core competencies executed at the BDE/BCT level. FMI 1-0.01 relates to, supports, and drives HR operations aligned under Personnel Services Delivery Redesign (PSDR). This manual provides sufficient information to allow for execution of all required HR missions and functions dictated by current operational requirements and anticipated future actions. It outlines the doctrinal base for developing operational plans and associated standing operating procedures (SOPs). Leaders and HR operators at all levels must apply these fundamentals using the military decision making process (MDMP), troop leading procedures, and Mission, Enemy, Terrain and weather, Troops and support available, Time available, Civil considerations (METT-TC). This publication is authoritative, but requires judgment in application.
