ity and provide the name and email address of the point of contact to the SECARMY DoA PM via the
SECARMY DoA mailbox annually or within 30 days of assignment as the SECARMY’s EA RO and as
changes occur to the point of contact.
e. Coordinate on DoD or DA publications pertaining to their assigned delegated responsibility(ies), in-
cluding reviewing and informing the language to ensure that it defines Army roles and responsibilities as
clearly as possible.
f. Serve as the office of primary responsibility (OPR) for establishing new DoAs and for conducting and
documenting required reviews using the checklist for DoA revision, rescission, supersession, or transfer,

(1) Coordinate with OSD to ensure their EA entry at https://dod-executiveagent.osd.mil is up-to-date
and accurate.
(2) Plan and budget for resources through the planning, programming, budgeting, and execution pro-

tary of the Army Data Call) and retain DA Form 7786 at the local level and make the form available upon
request.
Chapter 2
Establishing and Maintaining Secretary of the Army Delegations of Authority
2–1. Definition and scope of a Department of Defense Executive Agent
a. DoD defines EA as “the DoD Component head, or official required in statute, to whom the SECDEF
or DEPSECDEF has assigned specific responsibilities, functions, and authorities to provide defined levels
of support for operational missions, or administrative or other designated activities, that involve 2 or more
DoD Components.”
b. The nature and scope of the assigned DoD EA responsibilities, functions, and authorities are set at
the time of assignment and remain in effect until the SECDEF or DEPSECDEF revokes or supersedes
them.
c. A DoD EA will be designated when—
(1) There is no existing management arrangement to accomplish the identified DoD objectives.
(2) DoD resources, policy, or common service or support need to be focused on a specific area(s) of
responsibility to minimize duplication or redundancy.
(3) Required by law, Executive order, or Governmentwide regulation.
d. On occasion Army may be designated as the “lead Component”, “lead agent”, “lead Service”, “joint
proponent”, or terminology other than “executive agent”. These are separate and distinct management
arrangements from an executive agent designation and this policy does not cover those designations.
2–2. Establishing an Army Department of Defense Executive Agent and Responsible Official
a. Only the SECDEF or DEPSECDEF may assign a DoD EA designation and associated responsibili-
ties and authorities generally through memorandums or DoDDs however they can be established through
other sources.
b. The OSD roster located at https://dod-executiveagent.osd.mil is the authoritative list of DoD EAs as-
signed to the SECARMY.
c. No member or organization of the Army will volunteer the SECARMY as a DoD EA for any program
or mission.
d. A prospective EA RO or designated EA RO is directed by the SECDEF, DEPSECDEF, or the
SECARMY.
AR 1–19 • 27 March 2024 4
(1) Designated EA ROs may be delegated EA authorities via written memorandum from the
SECARMY or via other written mediums (such as DA General Orders or Army directives) serving as the
source origination of SECARMY’s decision to delegate such authority. If authorized by the SECARMY,
and not otherwise restricted by statute, directive, regulation, general order, or policy, EA ROs may redele-
gate a DoD EA authority to a general officer or member of the Senior Executive Service without the au-
thority to further delegate. However, such delegations must be within the EA RO’s organization and must
be done in writing. The EA RO to whom the SECARMY has directly delegated EA authority is responsible
for the DoD EA responsibilities associated with that delegation.
(2) New DoAs do not require a completed checklist.
e. The EA RO or prospective EA RO will be the lead for all taskings pertaining to DoD EA responsibili-
ties as signed to the SECARMY. Final agreement of EA designations and corresponding conditions must
be formalized through formal OSD staffing and review procedures.
f. An EA RO or prospective EA RO may initiate dialogue directly with the OSD PSA regarding desig-
nating the SECARMY as the DoD EA. The EA RO will present a recommendation for decision to the
SECARMY.
g. Designation as a DoD EA does not guarantee funding from DoD and delegees will be responsible
for planning and budgeting for resources as specified in paragraph 1 –8.
2–3. Definition and scope of non-Executive Agent delegations of authority
a. This type of DoA is not associated with a DoD EA and is the action by which the SECARMY wholly
or partly assigns authority to a subordinate.
b. The nature and scope of the assigned responsibilities, functions, and authorities are set in an asso-
ciated policy or law from which the SECARMY’s authority derives and remains in effect until the
SECARMY revokes or supersedes them.
2–4. Establishing a non-Executive Agent delegee within the Army
a. A prospective delegee is directed by the SECARMY or self identifies.
b. A delegee is delegated authorities via written memorandum from the SECARMY or via other written
mediums (such as Army General Orders or Army Directives) serving as the source origination of
SECARMY’s decision to delegate such authority. If authorized by the SECARMY, and not otherwise re-
stricted by statute, directive, regulation, general order, or policy, delegees may redelegate an authority in
writing. Delegations are usually within the delegee’s organization to maintain chain of command; how-
ever, delegations may be delegated outside the chain of command if there is an established support com-
mand relationship. The senior delegee to whom the SECARMY has directly delegated authority is respon-
sible for the responsibilities associated with that delegation.
2–5. Renewing expiring or expired Secretary of the Army delegations of authority
Unless needed pursuant to laws, regulations, a unique circumstance, the preference is to not annotate an
expiration date (only review increments) on SECARMY DoAs. If a DoA has an expiration date or has ex-
pired, this is considered a new SECARMY DoA, the delegee is not required to complete the checklist but
will, at a minimum:
a. Format the DoA using the applicable SECARMY DoA template.
b. As part of action officer level review, within Enterprise Task Management Software Solution
(ETMS2), submit the draft DoA and related support documentation to the AASA by assigning the tasker to
OAA’s Staff Action Control Office (SACO) (ETMS2 team name SAAA OAA) so the DoA Program Man-
ager may ensure that all requirements have been met.
c. Coordinate with other Army officials (offices of coordinating responsibility) who may have oversight
or responsibilities, gaining principal or principal deputy concurrence in ETMS2.
d. Prior to initiating the senior leader approval process (SLAP) to the SECARMY for signature, obtain
the AASA concurrence through another staffing through OAA’s SACO.
e. Distribute the final SECARMY DoA using the Armywide distribution list and copy furnish others as
the delegee sees appropriate (at minimum copy furnish the AASA). For EA DoAs, this will include DoD
organizations, the Service secretaries and chiefs, and the Armywide distribution list.
AR 1–19 • 27 March 2024 5
2–6. Reviewing Secretary of the Army delegations of authority
a. SECARMY DoAs must be reviewed at minimum every 5 years by the delegee and appropriate
stakeholders starting from the date of signature or per the previous documented review increment. For
DoAs requiring more frequent review, follow the same procedures at the specified increment.
b. Delegees will document reviews on the DoA checklist. For a review to be complete, checklists must
be complete, be signed by the principal official or principal deputy at the delegee’s organization, and a
copy provided to SPD via the SECARMY DoA mailbox (see para 1–8c.).
2–7. Revising Secretary of the Army Delegations of Authority
If the review checklist identifies a required substantive change, the delegee will obtain a revised
SECARMY-signed DoA within 90 days of review completion. Follow the staffing requirements/process in
paragraph 2–5 of this regulation and provide a copy of the final DoA to OAA via the SECARMY DoA mail-
box (see para 1–8c).
2–8. Incorporating Secretary of the Army Delegations of Authority in Department of the Army
administrative publications and supersession
An enduring SECARMY DoA is one that is continuing beyond a 5-year period. Delegees who desire to
incorporate an enduring SECARMY written DoA into a DA administrative publication may do so pursuant
to AR 25 –30. Some SECARMY DoAs are captured in DA publications, such as Army directives or DA
General Orders. SECARMY DoAs must first be established via written memorandum to provide the
SECARMY with a mechanism for official decision prior to incorporation. The memorandum is rescinded
on publication of the DA administrative publication. Provide OAA a copy of the authentication record via
the SECARMY DoA mailbox to document the supersession of the SECARMY DoA memorandum (see
para 1–8c).
2–9. Rescinding or transferring Secretary of the Army Delegations of Authority
On occasion, it may be necessary to rescind or transfer a DoA due to change in responsibilities or a reor-
ganization. The current delegee will initiate the process and work with appropriate stakeholders to obtain
official decision from the SECARMY on whether the DoA is to be transferred to another delegee or re-
scinded.
a. If a recission is necessary, the current delegee will provide OAA with a copy of the official decision
for record, signed by the SECARMY, at the SECARMY DoA mailbox (see para 1–8c.).
b. Should a transfer be required, the losing delegee proponent, in coordination with the gaining propo-
nent, will complete the review checklist and obtain a revised SECARMY-signed DoA following the steps in
paragraph 2–5 of this regulation. Transfer of delegee DoA proponency requires documented mutual
agreement by the principal or principal deputy officials of both the losing and gaining agencies.

Promotion Points (DLPT)

When IPPS-A does not see on ONE line with TWO passing scores of 10 or higher, it will not award promotion points. This occurs when a Soldier takes TWO test READING and LISTENING on separate dates (which is normal - as taking both tests the same day can be tough). (IPPS-A receives its data from DLPT-AR)).

The TWO scores must be within 30 days of each other to receive promotion points – REF: AR 11-6, PARA 2-4, SUB-PARA C.

IPPS-A created a defect to modify configuration for promotion points for DLPT scores taken within 30 days. As soon as that defect has been deployed and in effect, it should correct this calculation.

In the interim, to correct this issue during a records review, you need to merge the TWO scores onto ONE line in IPPS-A and allow IPPS-A to update overnight and then should award promotion points the next day.

S1NET Message Summary - 3/10/2024

1. “ALL AC LEADERS, READ TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR NEW SOLDIERS”  TAG SENDS MESSAGE: MONTGOMERY GI BILL-ACTIVE DUTY (MGIB-AD) SELECTION. S1s/G1s, all newly recruited Regular Army (RA) Soldiers must make an IRREVOCABLE “opt-out” selection from the 38 USC, Chapter 30 Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty (MGIB-AD) via DD Form 2366 180 days after entering the Army (Basic Active Service Date or BASD) or be automatically enrolled into the education incentive, which will initiate pay deduction. At 180 days, IPPS-A will notify these Soldiers that they have 90 days to make an IRREVOCABLE “Accept” or “Opt Out Of” election via a DD Form 2366 and uploading it to IPPS-A to complete the selection. If no selection within 90 days, the Soldier will be AUTOMATICALLY enrolled into the MGIB-AD. It is critical that the RA Soldier make an informed decision because there are two types of GI Bill education programs – MGIB-AD and the Post 9/11 GI Bill (PGIB). Both are VA managed education programs. However, in more than 95% of cases, the PGIB is a vastly better education program that has no participation cost; therefore, it is very important the RA Soldier makes the right selection. RA Soldiers can visit their installation's Education Center to educate themselves on each program's nuances or compare them by navigating to the VA website. Visit the following link for Opt In/Out procedures. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1311232

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 11, 2024

Key Takeaways:

• A Ukrainian military observer offered assessments of Russian force generation and defense industrial base (DIB) capacities that are consistent with ISW’s previous assessments.
• Russia’s increased defense industrial base (DIB) production is likely not sustainable in the medium and long-term as it will likely suffer from labor shortages, decreased weapons and equipment stockpiles, and an inability to completely compensate for military and dual-use items it can no longer acquire due to sanctions.
• Transfers of North Korean weapons to Russia by sea have apparently resumed after a pause since mid-February 2024.
• A Ukrainian military source noted that Russian forces are increasingly using grenades equipped with chemical substances in the Zaporizhia direction, in potential violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) to which Russia is a signatory.
• The Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has summoned Russian Ambassador to Moldova Oleg Vasnetsov in response to claims that Russia will operate polling stations in pro-Russian Moldovan breakaway region Transnistria during the Russian presidential election.
• Russia, China, and Iran will hold the joint Maritime Security Belt – 2024 naval exercise in the Gulf of Oman between March 11–15.
• The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) claimed that the West intends to use Armenia as a tool against Russia, a notable escalation in its information operations criticizing Armenian efforts to distance itself from security relations with Russia.
• Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill on March 11 that allows Russian authorities to further restrict actors it deems “foreign agents” to consolidate control over the Russian information space ahead of the presidential election.
• France is reportedly prepared to build a coalition of countries that are open to potentially sending Western military personnel to Ukraine.
• Russian forces recently made confirmed advances near Kreminna, Bakhmut, and Donetsk City.
• Russian President Vladimir Putin continues efforts to cater to Russian servicemembers and their families with the promise of various social benefits.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 10, 2024

Key Takeaways:

• A Ukrainian military official confirmed that Russian forces are conducting strikes in Ukraine with improved guided glide bombs.
• Russian sources reported that the Russian military command has replaced Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov with Northern Fleet Commander Admiral Alexander Moiseev as Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy.
• Russian occupation authorities opened early voting in occupied Ukraine for Russia’s presidential election on March 10 that will last until March 14.
• Chechen officials organized a march in Grozny, Chechnya, on March 10 in support of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s candidacy in the upcoming March presidential election.
• Over 1,000 civilian ships have transited Ukraine’s “grain corridor” in the Black Sea despite persistent Russian efforts to undermine international confidence in the corridor.
• The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) awarded a state honor to a prominent Russian ultranationalist — who is an active supporter of imprisoned former officer and ardent ultranationalist Igor Girkin — likely as part of an ongoing Kremlin campaign to coopt the critical milblogger community.
• Russian forces recently made confirmed advances near Bakhmut and Avdiivka amid continued positional engagements along the entire frontline on March 10.
• Prominent Russian ultranationalists praised Russian volunteers and mobilized personnel on March 10, likely to assuage continued concerns among these personnel in spite of their improper and inequal treatment in the Russian military.

• Russian sources widely circulated footage of a Russian strike on March 9 to claim that Russian forces destroyed a Patriot air defense system in eastern Ukraine, although there has yet to be any confirmation of these claims.
• US officials reportedly told CNN that Russia considered using “tactical or battlefield” nuclear weapons in Ukraine in 2022 – during the same time Russia conducted an intense information operation aimed at the West about Russia potentially using a nuclear weapon against Ukraine to deter Western support for Ukraine.
• Senior Armenian officials stated that Armenia is considering seeking membership in the European Union (EU), against the backdrop of deteriorating Russian-Armenian relations.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine would be open to negotiations with Russia only after Ukraine and its partners develop a peace plan and as Turkey continues to promote its own negotiation platform for the war in Ukraine.
• Russian forces recently made confirmed advances near Kreminna and Avdiivka amid continued positional fighting along the entire frontline on March 9.
• Open-source researchers analyzed satellite imagery and assessed that Russia has reportedly removed 25 to 40 percent of its tank strategic reserves, depending on the model, from open-air storage facilities, although ISW cannot independently verify this report.
