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.
