S1NET Message Summary - 6/30/2025

1. IPPS-A UPDATES, 27 JUN 25. From SGM Paul J. Smith, SEA, DCS G-1, IPPS-A FMD: I want to provide you with some updates, guidance, and resources to share with your units as they continue to navigate IPPS-A (view the entire update at the following link). https://actnow.army.mil/forums/html/topic?id=a5e08ee3-f5a5-47c9-b3c2-2ffd6ef21df1 

     a.  MY ARMY POST APP.  Last year, Soldier feedback helped us develop user-friendly orders produced by IPPS-A.  Orders now include the official Army seal, code descriptions, a Soldier's home of record address (Hire/Accession Orders), and a My Army Post app QR code - removing unnecessary administrative burdens for Soldiers.  The My Army Post app is an excellent resource for your PCSing Soldiers, as it puts real-time information into their hands and keeps military communities connected, a key part of readiness and resiliency.  The app includes real-time news, announcements, gate and facility information, hotlines, and more.    

     b. IPPS-A PROMOTION CAPABILITIES.  Encourage your Leaders to familiarize themselves with the Promotion Recommended Roster (PRR) and Promotion Consideration Roster (PCR) processes in IPPS-A.  These capabilities ensure we have a way to show when a Soldier's points go into effect; this is critical for a Member to track their promotion potential. The Human Resources Command (HRC) Junior Enlisted Promotions (PCR-PRR) Job Aid is attached with this post at the link above. Please ensure your enlisted team members understand and use IPPS-A's promotion tracking functions.  

     c. For information and resources, visit our website at https://ipps-a.army.mil/.      

2. IPPS-A BIRTH STATE DEFECT - PLEASE HELP!   From the Army G-1 IPPS-A Team:  Hoping to get some assistance with updating about 66 Members birth states in IPPS-A. We will be removing invalid birth state codes within IPPS-A but in order to move forward with that update, we need the Members with invalid codes to be corrected. Can I please get POCs for the following PPAs so I can send each the list for their units for corrections? Following are the PPAs that have Members with invalid Birth States in IPPS-A:  1D, 3C, 3F, 3G, 4A, KG, KH, KJ, LA, LG, LK, LM, LP, LR, MB, MC, MF, MG, MJ, MK, ND, NE, NJ, PF.

1.  This message will expire no later than (NLT) 1 September 2026.

2.  The Lieutenant Colonel Functional Area 49 (FA49) Key Nominative Billet (KNB) Selection Panel will convene on 22 July 2025 to consider eligible Lieutenant Colonels (LTC) and Majors (MAJ) for Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) and Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) KNB assignments. FY26 KNB assignments will be filled in Summer 2026, and FY27 KNB assignments will be filled in Summer 2027.

a.  The FA49 Proponent seeks experienced leaders who demonstrate potential and are defined by their competence in a broad range of environments, strength of character, and unwavering commitment to the Army. This process codifies the Functional Area’s efforts to optimize talent management by selecting the best qualified officers based on knowledge, skills, attributes and experiences for assignment to key FA49 LTC positions across the DoD.  These are the fifth and sixth iterations of the LTC FY49 KNB Selection Panel.  

b.  The KNB Selection Panel will only consider eligible officers who choose to opt-in to the Key Nominative Billet Panel. See paragraph 4(a) for additional instructions.

c.  Officers who are offered a KNB assignment must accept or decline within 14 calendar days of notice of their assignment. A decision to decline the KNB will result in a “Decline with Prejudice” flag being placed on the officer’s Soldier Talent Profile (STP).   

d.  Officers selected by the KNB panel who experience an emerging need to defer or delay their KNB timeline must contact the talent manager and communicate their reason for the request. Requests for deferment will be considered for approval on a case-by-case basis. 

e.  KNB tour length will be 24 months, unless curtailed or extended by HRC in conjunction with FA49 Executive Agent approval.

f.  There will no longer be Post-KNB assignments.  In select cases, the FA49 Proponent will offer KNB-complete officers a nominative follow-on assignment. Officers will have the choice to accept or decline the recommended assignment without prejudice.     

g.  KNB-Select officers can apply for constructive credit if they fulfill both of the following criteria:

(1)  The officer served in a designated KNB billet up to 12 months prior to the panel convene date or is serving in a designated billet when the KNB Selection Panel convenes.; 

(2)  The officer completed at least 12 months of rated time in that position.
