full-time basis" (with exemptions as necessary). Subsequently, the
Office of Management and Budget, the Office of Personnel Management, and
the Department of Defense issued amplifying and implementing guidance.
The Army is currently facing the dual challenge of ensuring it complies
with return to in-person work (RTIPW) guidance and is postured to
respond to other federal organizations' requests for assistance in
identifying space for their employees. The Army must complete transition
of all non-exempt personnel to qualifying in-person worksites no later

PPM CIO-069 BUSINESS SYSTEM APPLICATION LAYER AUDIT LOG POLICY
By Army National Guard April 28, 2025
https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN43921-PPM_CIO-069-000-WEB-1.pdf
DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER
107 ARMY PENTAGON
WASHINGTON DC 20310-0107
CS-SEC-SC-069
SAIS-CS (25-1rrrr) 28 April 2025
MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION
SUBJECT: Business System Application Layer Audit Log Policy
1. References. See Enclosure 1.
2. Purpose. This memorandum provides policy and amplifying guidance on generating
audit logs for Army business applications. The purpose is to identify anomalous activities
and assist in post-incident security investigations.
3. Applicability.
a. In accordance with Army Regulation (AR) 25-2, para 2-7, the Army Chief
Information Officer (CIO), on behalf of the Secretary of the Army, establishes policy,
resourcing, and oversight of the Army Cybersecurity Program. This policy memorandum
meets provisions outlined in AR 25-2, para 1-8, stating that the Army CIO, when
needed, will issue policy memoranda to augment or clarify the policies in AR 25-2.
b. This applies to all Army business systems that reside on and off Army networks.
This memorandum serves to clarify the policy regarding audit logging to support the
analysis process for business systems within the Department of the Army.
4. Background.
a. An Army business system is a type of information technology system used by the
U.S. Army to manage its business operations and processes. These systems are
designed to support various administrative and logistical functions, such as financial
systems, financial data feeder systems, contracting systems, logistics systems, planning
and budgeting systems, installations management systems, human resources
management systems, and training and readiness systems, and other essential
business activities. The goal of these systems is to improve efficiency, accuracy, and
effectiveness in managing the Army's resources and operations. Ensuring their
reliability, integrity, and security is crucial for maintaining operational advantage.
b. Opportunities exist to enhance application layer auditing capabilities for Army
business systems. By enhancing these capabilities, the Army can achieve greater
visibility to support continuous monitoring, assessment, and response to security
threats. The Army's implementation of various security measures, including audit
logging and security information and event management (SIEM) systems, have set a
SAIS-CS (25-1rrrr)
SUBJECT: Business System Application Layer Audit Log Policy
foundation for continued improvement. The Army must leverage emerging technologies
and best practices to enable comprehensive visibility and analytics capabilities.
c. Application layer audit logging refers to the creation of transactional event logs
that record person and non-person entity (NPE)-initiated actions and changes within an
application, linking each transaction to a specific persona for accountability and
analysis.
d. The complexity of Army business systems, with their diverse functionalities and
intricate workflows, results in vast and multifaceted logs. Each log entry may contain
critical information about user actions, system changes, and potential security events,
but without proper context and understanding, this data can be overwhelming. Skilled
analysts are needed to identify patterns, detect anomalies, and correlate events across
systems to provide meaningful insights. This expertise ensures that monitoring is
comprehensive and actionable, enabling the Army to respond swiftly to potential threats
and maintain the integrity and security of its operations.
e. This memorandum provides a proactive approach to ensuring the security and
integrity of Army business applications by providing clear and actionable direction on
audit logging requirements.
5. Policy.
a. Standard Audit Log Events and Attributes: Organizations that own and operate
Army Business Systems must configure business applications to generate application
layer audit logs containing standard events and attributes as defined in the Auditable
Events Standard (Enclosure 2). This may be achieved using vendor-provided logs when
appropriate. This requirement is in addition to any requirements specified for other
elements of the application stack and subsystems (e.g., application server, web server,
database server, operating system).
b. Application Log Routing: Application logs must be routed to the Army's Unified
SIEM (U-SIEM) system in a timely and accurate manner in accordance with reference b
of this memorandum.
c. The proponent to U-SIEM must work with the United States Army Cyber
Command (ARCYBER), the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics, and
Technology) (ASA(ALT)), Development Command (DEVCOM), and other Army
Business System Owners on establishing the governance and the technical capabilities
to ensure that application logs can be identified, transmitted, and validated within the U-
SIEM environment.
d. Business System SIEM Transition Planning: Organizations that own and operate
Army Business Systems must develop a transition plan within 120 days of the signing of
this memorandum. Army business system owners must create a transition plan to move
2
SAIS-CS (25-1rrrr)
SUBJECT: Business System Application Layer Audit Log Policy
to the Army's U-SIEM system. The plan should include a timeline, coordination and
alignment details, and required resources.
6. Implementation.
a. HQDA Deputy Chief of Staff G-6 will drive coordination between Army business
system owners, Army Cyber Command, designated cybersecurity service providers,
and the U-SIEM management office to ensure the U-SIEM capability is suitable and
sufficient to meet the requirement stated in paragraph 5.
b. System owners are responsible for ensuring compliance with this policy and any
future updates.
c. The system/program authorizing official (AO) must examine the plan of action
and milestones entry, validate the proposed resolution, weigh the risk, and decide
whether to accept the risk until the weakness can be resolved. To meet the intent of this
policy memorandum, the AO may direct a more aggressive resolution.
7. Exception Request. Requests for exceptions to the requirements contained in this
policy will be documented and submitted to the Army CIO (see paragraph 9). Exception
requests must provide a detailed justification to include cost and mission impacts, and
each request will be adjudicated based upon cybersecurity risk to the Business System
and the DoDIN-A enterprise.
8. Expiration and review. This policy is effective immediately and remains in effect until
superseded or rescinded. The Army CISO will annually review this policy for update no
later than 1 October of each calendar year.

Army Business Systems Application Layer Auditable Events Standard
1. Auditable Events
(U) The following tables represent a superset of auditable event types for Army
business applications. The events, represented as target:action pairs, are aligned with
Annex E to EXORD 056-22 ISO AUNP, Data Artifact Definitions and Retention Policy
and OMB M-21-31 auditable event requirements. Not all event types will be applicable
to all business applications. In accordance with DoDI 8520.04, “system owners in
conjunction with IT resource owners must… define logging function requirements” and
logs will include “all successful and unsuccessful requests to access identified IT
resources.” Accordingly, system owners will identify the events that are applicable to the
business application and document the implementation as an element of their
authorization package. If the target:action pair is representative of a use case of the
application, the event should be considered mandatory for the baseline audit logging
requirements.
Note: Logs should not contain Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) information and should
limit any personally identifiable information (PII) other than the required user / entity
information for the minimum necessary to meet the purpose(s) of the auditable event.
Account Management
Account Management activities pertain to events associated with person and
non-person entity accounts. These events are applicable only when the account
management is performed within the application boundary.
Event (Target:Action) Description
Account: View Examining an account or profile
Account: Add Creation of an account
Account: Modify Changing aspects / attributes of an account
Account: Delete Removal of an account
Account: Lock Temporary inactivation of an account
Account: Unlock Enabling an account following a temporary
inactivation
Group/Role
Management

group/role
Group/Role: Delete Removal of a group/role
Enclosure 2
Entity Access Control
Entity Access Control events describe the activities associated with identity
verification (e.g., password, pin, certificate) and granting of access to systems and
resources. These events are applicable only when the access control event is
performed within the application boundary.
Event (Target:Action) Description
Entity: Authenticate Verification of the identity of a user, process, or
device, often as a prerequisite to allowing
access to resources in a system.
Entity: Logon Presentation of a credential or token for the
purpose of instantiating a new session on a
system or application.
Entity: Logoff Termination of a user session.
Object / Resource Activity
Object / Resource Activity events describe activities associated with an object by a
user or non-person entity (NPE). Objects are “passive system-related entities,
including devices, files, records, tables, processes, programs, and domains that
contain or receive information.” (NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5, Security and Privacy
Controls for Information Systems and Organizations). These events are applicable
only when the event is performed within the application boundary. Objects should
be defined in the context of the application / workload.
Event (Target:Action) Description
Object: View / Access Read / open action on an object.
Object: Create Generation of a new instance of an object.
Object: Delete Erasure of an instance of an object.
Object: Modify Change of state of an object.
Object: Restore Recovery or return of an object to a previous
state.
Object: Print Execution of the print command. Includes print
to file, e.g., PDF.
Object: Download Retrieval of an object from an external
information system (IS), often via network
connection.
Object: Export Transmission of an object from one IS to
another, typically for use outside the original

Process
Application events describe activities associated with physical or virtual systems
as well as applications and processes operating within systems. These events are
applicable only when the event is performed within the application boundary.
Event (Target:Action) Description
Application: Search/Query Execution of a search/query function.
2. Events Attributes
(U) The table below provides a set of required event log attributes for auditable events
generated by an Army business application aligned with Annex E to EXORD 056-22
ISO AUNP, Data Artifact Definitions and Retention Policy and OMB M-21-31.

S1NET Message Summary - 4/23/2025
By Army National Guard April 23, 2025
1. ARMY DIRECTIVE 2025-06, ARMY FITNESS TEST, 17 APR 25. This directive establishes the Army Fitness Test (AFT) as the physical fitness test of record, updates Army policies related to the AFT, and prescribes effective dates for implementation. The AFT includes one fitness standard for all combat areas of concentration (AOCs) and military occupational specialties (MOSs) and increases fitness standards for all Soldiers. The AFT will improve readiness, enhance lethality, and reinforce the warrior ethos. Some key points from the AD follow. The full AD is available on S1NET at the following link, and on APD. https://actnow.army.mil/forums/html/topic?id=ec550d9c-27b8-47f2-96fb-657a809e4434
a. The AFT replaces the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) on 1 June 2025. The Army will no longer conduct the ACFT after 31 May 2025. Soldier ACFT for-record tests taken before 31 May 2025 remain valid in accordance with current Army policies. Army Directive 2022-05 (Army Combat Fitness Test), 23 March 2022 is rescinded effective 1 June 2025.
b. AFT Design. The AFT comprises five events: max dead lift, hand-release push-up, sprint/drag/carry, plank, and 2-mile run.
(1) The AFT combat standard is sex-neutral and age-normed. Soldiers serving in combat specialties must achieve a minimum of 60 points per event and an overall minimum score of 350. The AFT combat standard applies to Soldiers serving in these AOCs and MOSs: 11A, 11B, 11C, 11Z, 12A, 12B, 13A, 13F, 18A, 180A, 18B, 18C, 18D, 18E, 18F, 18Z, 19A, 19C, 19D, 19K, and 19Z.
