All references to Soldier(s) in the regulation refer to commissioned officers, warrant officers, and enlisted Soldiers, unless otherwise stated. The Deputy Chief of Staff (DCS), G-1, re-quires Department of the Army (DA) Civilians to account for themselves and strongly encourages DA Civilians to account for their Family members.

Providing Family member information is required to receive needed benefits and/or assistance upon the occurrence of a disaster. Additionally, DA Civilians outside the continental United States (OCONUS) assignments may be contingent upon the DA Civilian employees voluntarily providing Family member information. Army Disaster Personnel Accountability and Assessment System (ADPAAS) is used to report Disaster Personnel Accountability (DPA).
