3 Pillars Of BOSS Terms

• Senior Military Advisor
• The Sr. Military Advisor in most cases is the Garrison Command Sergeants Major and will be a major source of information for your BOSS Program. The GCSM will become the Post CSM (if he/she is not already) and will have knowledge that can be shared to help you make sound decisions. There are many questions that need to be asked, such as:
  1. Who will be left behind? Did the BOSS President deploy?
  2. Will there be a reserve unit to back fill the installation?
  3. What will be the command structure upon deployment?
  4. Who will be the leadership in place for the rear detachments?
• MWR Advisor
• The MWR advisor will have a good pulse on the Moral Welfare and Recreation Directorate (MWRD) and the programming that is going on that will support the deployment. You will want to know of any changes because they will serve as the foundation of your planning IAW the three pillars of BOSS. A few questions you will want to ask:
  1. How will your installation MWR programs operate during deployment?
  2. Will buildings be shut down? Will hours of operations change?
  3. What deployment support programs will start up? And new partnerships?
  4. Will this affect your budget?
