1. INFORMATION FOR SOLDIERS PCS’ING TO EUROPE: NATO TRAVEL
ORDERS AND PET TRAVEL INFORMATION. From the 1st Theater Personnel
Operations Center (1TPOC): https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1315350
a. NATO Travel Orders for Soldiers PCS’ing to Europe. Please note that
NATO Orders are mandatory for Soldiers’ flights when PCS’ing to Europe.
These orders are crucial as they ensure the protection of Soldiers and
their Families under the Status of Forces Agreements between the U.S.
Government and host nations. Without these orders, Soldiers and Family
members will not be allowed to fly on the AMC Patriot Express. Military
Personnel Divisions (MPDs) must take the lead in generating NATO orders
and providing necessary guidance to Soldiers. Unit S1s/G1s, sponsors,
and sponsorship coordinators must communicate this requirement with
Soldiers to minimize delays and hardships associated with PCS moves.
b. Pet Travel Information: For Soldiers and Families PCS’ing to Europe,
it is essential to carefully read all AMC Patriot Express/DOD Pet
Transportation guidelines. This guide on the AMC website contains
valuable information about the processes necessary to bring beloved pets
to Europe. Following it will ensure a smooth journey and prevent delays
and issues on flight day.

NEW REIMBURSEMENT FOR PET TRAVEL FEES EFFECTIVE 1 JAN 24. Jan 1, 2024
brings a new entitlement for personnel with pets during a PCS move.
Service members and families may now submit associated expenses for
reimbursement during their PCS voucher process. The entitlement is for
only one pet (dog or cat) and is limited to $2,000 for an overseas move
or $550 for movement within the United States. Travelers using AMC
Patriot Express missions will receive a memo receipt for pet travel
fees. For guidance on pet expense reimbursement due to a PCS, refer to
the Joint Travel Regulations, Chapter 5, Part A, Paragraph 050107. It is
important to note that this entitlement must be on your PCS orders in
order to claim reimbursement. Visit the following link for more
information. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1315382

IPPS-A UPDATE: PAI EXTENDED, AOS PLAYBOOK, TRAINING ENVIRONMENTS, MODS,
HR PROCESSING STAGE, ATRRS, SEPS, DRIVE THE CHANGE, RESOURCES. From COL
Rebekah Lust, IPPS-A FMD Director: See the entire update at the
following link. Some key points in this update are provided below: https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1315057
a. ENHANCEMENT REQUESTS. Submitting enhancement requests is critical
to enhancing the system and making IPPS-A work best for you and your
fellow Soldiers. Just recently, CPT Alysa Nantarojanaporn, 89 MP Bde,
CPT Timothy Donegan, B CO 1-13th AvnCoE, and SSG Nathalie Orion, 10th
MTN Division, brought to our attention an issue that is preventing
supporting documentation from being attached to Career Skills Program
(CSP) absence requests. Because they submitted enhancement requests, our
team will be able to assess the issue and identify the best possible
solution. You will see an update on this in a future release. Thank you
all for truly making IPPS-A a Soldier system! Remember to provide your
Enhancement Requests to the Team through Customer Relationship
Management (CRM).
b. PERSONNEL ASSET INVENTORY (PAI) EXTENDED. The deadline for
submitting PAI statuses is now 15 May 2024 for the Active Component and
31 May 2024 for COMPOs 2 and 3.
c. ARMY ORGANIZATION SERVER (AOS) PLAYBOOK. The AOS Playbook Version
1.4 provides users with an introductory overview of the AOS system along
with the knowledge required to view, edit, and validate organization
structure data.
d. MEDICAL OPERATIONAL DATA SYSTEM (MODS) AND IPPS-A. Many of you have
submitted CRM cases pertaining to the inconsistencies between MODS and
IPPS-A. We are aware of the issue and a repopulation of the MODS data
will occur shortly. We will provide an update once the issue is
resolved.
e. HR PROCESSING STAGE REMOVAL. There has been some confusion in the
field about the HR Processing stage in IPPS-A. This stage is now gone
from all PARs except for the Admin Records Correction PAR. Please note
that the Admin Records Correction PAR is the only PAR requiring
follow-on actions for S1 Pool members. Please refer to the attached
slide for a visualization.
f. ARMY TRAINING REQUIREMENTS AND RESOURCES SYSTEM (ATRRS) DATA AND
IPPS-A. Barring any irregularities, IPPS-A typically updates daily with
inbound data from the ATRRS. The inbound processing of data into IPPS-A
drives transactions in the system, and it is critical to let the process
run its course. Manually adding data that will eventually come over
from other systems (e.g., data for Enlisted Professional Military
Education [EPME], Military Occupational Specialty [MOS] qualifications,
Advanced Individual Training [AIT], etc.) can have negative impacts. I
am attaching Interface Timelines (at the above link) to help the field
understand when IPPS-A is scheduled to pull information from other
systems.
g. SINGLE EVALUATION PROCESSING (SEPS) DATA MISSING. We have identified
an issue where IPPS-A is not receiving the entirety of SEPS data, which
is causing these values to remain blank within some SM’s records. We
are actively evaluating the problem to implement a fix. Please note that
field users should not manually enter data in blank fields, as this
information may be lost due to system updates.
h. DRIVE THE CHANGE CHANNEL. If you are looking for more IPPS-A
information, join the Drive the Change channel on MS Teams! You will get
updates, training information, and job aids for new releases.
4. BRANCH/COMMAND ITEMS.
a. 2024 GOLDEN KNIGHTS ASSESSMENT AND SELECTION (GKAS). The United

2025 cycle. A diverse Brigade with Sustainment, Engineer, Chemical, EOD,
Signal, and Human Resources units, 2DSB has fantastic command, key
developmental, and staff opportunities for talented Officers and Warrant
