PERSONNEL ESTIMATE

The personnel estimate is a useful tool for the commander in his continuous appraisal of the tactical situation. It is equally useful for the commander in garrison, providing vital information necessary for sound managerial decision. A complex and lengthy document, it is usually prepared by the G1/S1. The logistician can also draw a great deal of valuable planning data from the personnel estimate. The format presented is self-explanatory.
