Mission

The Fort Jackson Personnel Automation Section (PAS) manages installation personnel, accounting, strength reporting and the IPPS-A database for data accuracy and accepted timelines within the Department of the Army standards.

TASP

Total Army Sponsorship Program (TASP)

The TASP aims to support Soldiers and family members effective integration into the Army, assist them as they transition to different units, and ensures they are assigned sponsors prior to reporting or departing from their current organization.  Obtaining a sponsor reduces the stress of reporting to a new unit, enhancing resiliency and improving readiness among Soldiers and Family members ensuring successful reception and integration into units and communities.

Upon arrival to the gaining installation, Soldiers are required to complete the sponsorship in-processing survey within the first 45 days of arrival at the gaining command.

 Upon arrival, if Sponsorship Assignment has not been assigned, the Installation Sponsorship Liaison will coordinate directly with the gaining command to facilitate reactionary Sponsorship Assignment.  Further coordination will be provided by the Brigade sponsorship coordinator.

ADPAAS

Army Disaster Personnel Accountability and Assessment System (ADPAAS)

ADPAAS is the Army Disaster Personnel Accountability and Assessment System.  In the event of a natural or man-made disaster.  It is imperative that Army leadership is aware of the physical whereabouts of all Army employees and their Family Members.  Your active involvement in assessing your personal and Family Members’ information will ensure that the Army will better facilitate with support.  Using the information provided within the ADPAAS system, the Army can dispatch search and recovery crews, assign case managers to meet your displaced/evacuation needs, and provide a smooth and orderly return to your home location.
