Which command level is involved in notifying HR of a member’s return?

The involvement of Station/Section/Unit Command in notifying HR of a member’s return is grounded in their role as the immediate supervisors of personnel. This command level is responsible for the day-to-day operations and management of officers and staff in their sections or units. When a member returns from military service, it is crucial for this command to communicate that information to HR to ensure proper record-keeping, reinstatement of benefits, and re-integration into active duties. This notification process is essential for maintaining up-to-date personnel records and ensuring compliance with employment policies related to veterans and active military members.

While the Executive Command may set overarching policies and the framework for these procedures, the actual notification is typically handled at the unit level where personnel management is executed. In contrast, State Command may have a broader oversight role and Administration Command might manage administrative functions, neither of which directly handles day-to-day personnel notifications regarding returns from military service.
