Although each service has its own

USSOUTHCOM requires basic
personnel data for Command Manning

with those DoD systems, and present a
single system dashboard to the
USSOUTHCOM users.
Affected Public: Contractor personnel
and Foreign Liaison Military assigned
for duty with USSOUTHCOM.

Number of Respondents: 1,200.
Responses per Respondent: 2.
Annual Responses: 2,400.
Average Burden per Response: 20
minutes.

Respondents are personnel who will
provide personnel information during
on-boarding into the organization for
employment purposes and will verify
the information twice yearly for disaster
preparedness readiness. This
information is essential in maintaining
the safety and security of US Southern
Command employees during natural
and man-made disaster.
