Who is responsible for submitting PERSUMs and PRRs according to unit SOPs?

The Battalion S-1 is responsible for submitting Personnel Summary (PERSUMs) and Personnel Readiness Reports (PRRs) according to unit Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This role typically encompasses administrative functions related to personnel management, including tracking readiness, maintaining personnel records, and ensuring accurate reporting of unit strength and readiness statistics.

The S-1 serves as the primary point of contact for all personnel matters within the battalion, thus ensuring compliance with established protocols and effective communication with higher command. The submission of PERSUMs and PRRs requires a comprehensive understanding of the unit's personnel structure and readiness status, which falls directly under the purview of the responsibilities of the S-1.

In this context, other positions like the Company Commander and Operations Officer would generally rely on the S-1's expertise and reports to inform their decisions and strategies, rather than directly submitting these reports. The Personnel Officer could play a supportive role but would still operate under the guidance of the Battalion S-1 when it comes to formal submissions.
