Providing Personnel Service Support To a Peace Operations Force: What is the Right Recipe?

Abstract

The paper examines the personnel community's efforts to provide sustained personnel service support within the context of the ongoing peacekeeping mission in Bosnia. It looks at the force mix between reserve and active soldiers and units within a personnel services battalion (PSB), and the current doctrinal guidance of operating in multiple (split based) versus one location (duel based). The paper provides special focus on all of the critical tasks and missions performed by personnel service support units operating at the tactical and operational levels, and the impact of those missions on the supported and supporting units. It concludes by offering nine recommendations for providing personnel service support in future peacekeeping missions.
