1. IPPS-A UPDATE: 2ND ANNIVERSARY, SUBMIT PCS EVENT, BAH RECERTIFICATION, PAI RECONCILIATION, ACCESS VIDEO, DD 214 ACCURACY AND RESOURCES. From COL Rebekah S. Lust, IPPS-A FMD Director:  “We are quickly approaching the two-year anniversary of IPPS-A going live for all Soldiers in all three components! This time of year gives us a great opportunity to reflect upon the milestones we achieved throughout 2024. We could not have done this without the help of HR Pros and Soldiers in the field. Your engagement and enthusiasm for IPPS-A over the past two years is driving change in our Army. Since Go-Live, we’ve processed more than 6.93 million pay impacting HR transactions. IPPS-A’s Agile development decreased the time between updates, incorporated user feedback, and increased value delivered to Soldiers — reaching over 1.03 million distinct users in the system. We’ve also maintained accountability to our fellow Soldiers — processing 627,000 Customer Relationship Management (CRM) cases since Go-Live.” Visit the following link for the complete update.  https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1353408
