Date for a special IPPS-A Town Hall for Soldiers on Thursday, 23
February, 2023, 1100 – 1230 ET. IPPS-A is a Soldier system, used by
every Soldier. SGM Gary Krese and subject matter experts will discuss
the benefits IPPS-A brings to Soldiers and will answer Soldier
questions. Join on Teams or Facebook. Please encourage and allow time
for your Soldiers to participate.
b. Personnel Asset Inventory (PAI). The window for units to conduct
the Post Go-Live PAI is 1 March – 30 April 2023. The objective of the
PAI is to maintain timely, error-free personnel accountability, involve
commanders at all levels in the strength and reporting process, and to
reconcile IPPS-A data with Soldiers present in the unit (whether
assigned or attached). See MILPER 23-057 for more information.

12. Recently published DOD and Army Directives (AD) and All Army
Activity (ALARACT) messages. New ALARACTs and ADs are also posted on APD
at the following link. https://armypubs.army.mil/default.aspx
a. ARMY DIRECTIVE 2023-02, DIRECT APPOINTMENT AND COMMISSION OF
CERTAIN WARRANT OFFICERS, 6 FEB 23. This directive establishes policy
for the direct appointment or commission of warrant officers not in
rated aviation or special forces military occupation specialties (MOSs).
To meet accession requirements for warrant officer branches, this
directive expands opportunities for Soldiers to apply for direct
appointment to warrant officer one (WO1) or direct commission to chief
warrant officer two (CW2). Army Directives 2021-19 and 2021-31 prescribe
direct accession and promotion eligibility for Soldiers in rated
aviation or special forces MOSs. Effective immediately, Soldiers in
other MOSs may be eligible for direct appointment to the grade of WO1 or
direct commission to the grade of CW2. Selection for each source of
accession will be made based on criteria established by the Deputy Chief
of Staff (DCS), G-1 in coordination with the MOS proponent branch. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1230152
b. ALARACT 014/2023, IMPLEMENTING GUIDANCE FOR DIRECT APPOINTMENT
AND DIRECT COMMISSION OF CERTAIN WARRANT OFFICERS, DTG: R 161700Z FEB
23. This message provides implementing guidance for direct appointment
to WO1 and direct commission to CW2 for certain warrant officer military
occupational specialties (MOSs). This guidance does not apply to
warrant officer applicants for special forces or rated aviation. The
Army faces critical operational shortages across the technical warrant
officer community. These shortages impose significant impacts to Army
readiness. Updated policy in accordance with Army Directive 2023-02
allows warrant officer proponents to identify qualified Soldiers for
direct appointments to WO1 or direct commissioning to CW2. It further
allows the Army to improve warrant officer accessions and advance the
warrant officer throughput selection to employment. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1230152
c. ALARACT 015/2023, ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2021 MAJOR
GENERAL GREENE INNOVATION AWARD WINNERS, DTG: R 161938Z FEB 23. The

MG Greene Innovation Award. The Commanding General, Army Futures
Command (AFC) is pleased to announce the winners of the fiscal year 2021
MG Greene Innovation Award. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1230612
d. ALARACT 016/2023, FAMILY MEMBER TRAVEL SCREENING GUIDANCE FOR
SUMMER 2023 ASSIGNMENT CYCLE, DTG: R 162024Z FEB 23. The purpose of this
ALARACT is to provide guidance to Soldiers moving overseas (includes
Alaska and Hawaii) during the 2023 summer assignment cycle. All
Soldiers moving overseas (includes Alaska and Hawaii) must initiate
family member travel screening (FMTS) immediately upon receipt of
overseas assignment instructions. FMTS ensures Soldiers do not permanent
change of station (PCS) to locations that cannot meet the family
member’s medical and educational needs. Following this guidance will
decrease the likelihood of delayed orders. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1230614
