By Army National Guard August 28, 2025

1. ATTENTION ALL NON-ARMY.MIL S1NET MEMBERS (HEALTH.MIL, MAIL.MIL. SOCOM.MIL. ETC.). As we transition S1NET to SharePoint, non-army.mil users who wish to retain access to S1NET "MUST" obtain DoD Guest Access to the Army 365 Hub before they can obtain access to the content on the SharePoint site. The guide at the following link on ACT provides instructions for those non-army.mil tenants to obtain the DoD Guest Access. https://actnow.army.mil/forums/html/topic?id=3bc5faef-b06a-497d-bd4b-4e1f89db90a5

2. ITEMS FROM CHIEF, SECURITY AND BACKGROUND SCREENING, HRC:

a. DA PAM 611-21 CHANGES TO TABLE 10-2 (JULY 2025) FOR ENLISTED MOS SECURITY REQUIREMENTS. DA PAM 611-21 (Personnel Selection and Classification) provides guidance to individuals, commanders, personnel managers, proponents, and combat and material developers. It contains information on the classification of individuals by identifiers and classification of positions. There have been several recent updates to the Enlisted Table 10-2 (Enlisted MOS Security Requirements Listing). Please refer to Table 1-9 for Security Clearance Code Definitions. Also attached are DA Pam 611-21 Officer Table 2-7 (November 2024) and DA Pam 611-21 Warrant Officer Table 6-11 (November 2024). https://armyeitaas.sharepoint-mil.us/teams/S1NETHomePage/Lists/Enlisted%20Policy/DA%20PAM%20611-21%20Changes%20to%20Table%2010-2%20(July%202025)%20for%20Enlisted%20MOS%20Security%20Requirements

b. STATUS OF RETIREMENT PACKET WHEN SOLDIER HAS A SECURITY FLAG. Per AR 635-200, Chapter 12, section 7 (c) Soldiers who are under suspension of favorable personnel action under AR 600-8-2 are not precluded from submitting DA Form 2339. Requests for retirement will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the local approval retirement authority. Since the security flag (E), is covered by this regulation, the Soldier can proceed in the submission of the retirement packet. HRC will lift the Security Flag just before the Soldier is ready to retire so orders maybe cut. If you have any questions or concerns reference the information above, please reach out to Judy Powers, HRC/FSD Security Manager at judy.a.powers.civ@army.mil or call via teams. https://armyeitaas.sharepoint-mil.us/teams/S1NETHomePage/Lists/Army%20Retirement%20Services

If the Soldier's security clearance information is not correct in one or more fields, please contact the following HRC emailbox: usarmy.knox.hrc.mbx.fsd-security@army.mil. Request for updates can be made by the Soldier, S1 or S2. Please provide the Army Component, Last and First Name, and full SSN. (Emailbox is setup for encryption) Sample: Active Duty, Doe, John A., 123-45-6789. If you are sending unencrypted, instead of SSN it would be best to include the DOD Identification Number. Please allow 24-48 hours for data to update the STP. https://armyeitaas.sharepoint-mil.us/teams/S1NETHomePage/Lists/Enlisted%20Policy

MILPER Number: 25-351 Drill Sergeant Academy Deletion/Deferment Authority

By Army National Guard August 25, 2025

1. This MILPER will expire no later than (NLT) 24 August 2026 and supersedes reference E.

2. Drill Sergeants play a critical role in the training and development of the Army’s future Soldiers. The negative impact of deletions, deferments, and no-shows of Soldiers on assignment to the Drill Sergeant Academy and Drill Sergeant assignments continue to hamper the Army’s ability to provide the force with trained, ready, and deployable Soldiers. It is critical that leaders at echelon not only assist in reducing deletions, deferments, and no-shows, but also encourage NCOs to become Drill Sergeants.

SUBJ/ALARACT 085/2025 – COMMAND CLIMATE ASSESSMENT
THIS ALARACT MESSAGE HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED BY JSP ON BEHALF OF THE
ASA (M&RA)

1.C. (U) AR 600-20, ARMY COMMAND POLICY
2. (U) PURPOSE: TO RESTATE MILITARY EQUAL OPPORTUNITY (MEO) POLICY
AND PROCEDURES REGARDING CLIMATE ASSESSMENTS, TO INCLUDE
RESPONSIBILITIES FOR COMMANDERS, COMMANDING OFFICERS, OFFICERS-
IN-CHARGE, AND CIVILIAN EQUIVALENTS (SUBSEQUENTLY REFERRED TO AS
COMMANDERS), TO AFFIRM THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY’S CONTINUED
USE OF THE DEFENSE CLIMATE PORTAL PORTFOLIO OF SYSTEMS (DEFENSE
ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE SURVEY (DEOCS), DEFENSE ORGANIZATIONAL
CLIMATE PULSE (DOCP) SURVEY, COMPREHENSIVE INTEGRATED PRIMARY
PREVENTION (CIPP) PLAN), TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE REGARDING COMMAND
CLIMATE ASSESSMENT (CCA) AND DEOCS PARTICIPATION AND FIELDING
WINDOW, AND TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE ALIGNMENT WITH THE LATEST
EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND DOD GUIDANCE.
3. (U) APPLICABILITY: THIS MESSAGE APPLIES TO ALL ARMY PERSONNEL AND
ORGANIZATIONS. (REGULAR ARMY, UNITED STATES ARMY RESERVE (USAR),
AND ARMY NATIONAL GUARD (ARNG)).
4. (U) DESIRED OUTCOME: THE ARMY’S GOAL IS TO PRODUCE LEADERS,
SOLDIERS, AND TEAMS THAT ARE READY FOR COMBAT. THE CCA PROCESS,
LEVERAGING THE DEOCS, PROVIDES COMMANDERS WITH VALUABLE AND
ACTIONABLE INSIGHT. COMMANDERS WILL FACILITATE POSITIVE
PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTS, BUILT ON DIGNITY AND RESPECT, WHICH
DIRECTLY IMPACTS READINESS, STRENGTHENS OUR FORMATIONS, AND
ENHANCES OUR WARFIGHTING CAPABILITY AND OVERALL LETHALITY.
5. (U) BACKGROUND: THE DEOCS IS A CONGRESSIONALLY MANDATED UNIT-
LEVEL CLIMATE SURVEY THAT PROVIDES COMMANDERS WITH UNIT-SPECIFIC
INFORMATION ON CRITICAL PERSONNEL TOPICS SO THAT THEY CAN TAKE
IMMEDIATE STEPS TO ENHANCE THEIR COMMAND CLIMATE. THE OFFICE OF
PEOPLE ANALYTICS (OPA) REVITALIZED AND MODERNIZED THE SURVEY IN
2019 WITH THREE ACTION AREAS: SURVEY ADMINISTRATION PLATFORM,
SURVEY CONTENT, AND CCA REPORTING TOOL AND TOOLKITS.
ADJUSTMENTS CONTINUE AS OPA RECEIVES FEEDBACK FROM THE FIELD AND
DATA FROM RELATED TOOLS.
5.A. (U) OPA SPEARHEADED RESEARCH AIMING TO REDUCE SURVEY FATIGUE.
AS A RESULT, EACH SOLDIER AND CIVILIAN MUST ONLY BE ASKED TO
PARTICIPATE IN ONE DEOCS ANNUALLY AND SHOULD ONLY BE ASKED TO
PARTICIPATE IN CCA ACTIVITIES AT ONE ECHELON (SEE REF 1.A.).
BATTALIONS OR EQUIVALENT AND HIGHER MAY RECEIVE ASSISTANCE FROM
MEO PROFESSIONALS AND INTEGRATED PRIMARY PREVENTION WORKFORCE
(IPPW) PERSONNEL TO ROLL UP SUBORDINATE UNIT DEOCS RESULTS IN
ORDER TO COMPLETE THEIR CHANGE OF COMMAND OR ANNUAL CCA.
ADDITIONALLY, OPA DEVELOPED DOCP SURVEYS, WHICH CAN INCLUDE UP TO
15 QUESTIONS TO BE USED BY COMMANDERS BETWEEN ANNUAL CCAS AS
NEEDED. EACH SOLDIER AND CIVILIAN SHOULD ONLY BE ASKED TO
PARTICIPATE IN ONE DOCP ANNUALLY. DOCP SURVEYS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE
FOR USE OUTSIDE OF THE DEOCS FIELDING WINDOW. ADDITIONAL DEOCS
AND DOCP INITIATION IS ONLY POSSIBLE BY EXCEPTION UNDER CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES AND REQUIRES APPROVAL.
5.B. (U) DURING THE 2024 DEOCS ANNUAL FIELDING, COMMANDERS INVITED
682,023 PERSONNEL TO TAKE A DEOCS AND ONLY 253,364 PERSONNEL
RESPONDED, A 40 PERCENT RESPONSE RATE. THERE WERE 331
REGISTRATIONS CONSIDERED NON-REPORTABLE, FOR FAILING TO REACH
THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF RESPONDENTS (16). RESULTS WITH RESPONSE
UNDER 30 PERCENT MAY NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF AN
ORGANIZATION’S CLIMATE. UNITS SHOULD STRIVE FOR 50 PERCENT OR
HIGHER. THE ANNUAL CCA SECTION OUTLINES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
INCREASING DEOCS PARTICIPATION.
5.C. (U) A CCA IS A PROCESS THAT IS CONTINUAL AND FLUID WITH
ACTIONABLE OBJECTIVES TO ASSIST COMMANDERS WITH FACILITATING A
POSITIVE PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR THEIR PERSONNEL. CCA
ACTIVITIES WILL OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND MUST INCLUDE A
DEOCS AND AT LEAST ONE ADDITIONAL SOURCE OF INFORMATION
(INTERVIEWS, FOCUS GROUPS, RECORDS REVIEWS, DOCP, AND SO ON). THE
ANNUAL DEOCS FIELDING WINDOW IS 1 AUGUST THROUGH 20 NOVEMBER
(SEE REF 1.A.). THROUGH THEIR ACTION PLANS, COMMANDERS WILL PROVIDE
INPUT TO CIPP PLAN WHICH IS UPLOADED INTO THE DEFENSE CLIMATE
PORTAL BY THE LOCAL INSTALLATION INTEGRATED PREVENTION ADVISORY
GROUP (I-PAG).
5.D. (U) THE CCA PRIMARILY SERVES AS AN ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
TOOL TO HELP COMMANDERS AND LEADERS BUILD POSITIVE
ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATES. THE CCA ALLOWS UNIT COMMANDERS AND
ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS TO IDENTIFY AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND
TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS TO ADDRESS CHALLENGES WITHIN THEIR
ORGANIZATION. CCAS ALSO ALLOW DECISION MAKERS AT THE STRATEGIC
LEVEL TO DIRECT RESOURCES TO THE UNITS, ORGANIZATIONS, OR
LOCATIONS THAT ARE MOST IN NEED OF PREVENTION SUPPORT.
6. (U) CCA (TIMELINE AND PROCESS):
6.A. (U) UNIT COMMANDERS AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERS MUST CONDUCT
A CHANGE OF COMMAND CCA WITHIN 90 DAYS OF ASSUMING COMMAND FOR
ACTIVE DUTY UNITS AND WITHIN 120 DAYS FOR USAR AND ARNG UNITS.
PERSONNEL ADMINISTERING THE DEOCS, MUST COMPLETE CCA AND CIPP
TRAINING AS REQUIRED BY REFERENCE 1.A. OFFICER EVALUATIONS OF
COMMANDERS WILL INCLUDE INFORMATION REGARDING COMPLIANCE
CONDUCTING CCA ACTIVITIES. FAILURE OF A COMMANDER TO CONDUCT
REQUIRED CCA ACTIVITIES WILL BE NOTED BY THE COMMANDER’S RATER.
FOR PLANNING MATERIALS AND MARKETING MATERIALS VISIT
HTTPS://WWW.PREVENTION.MIL/CLIMATE-PORTAL/.
6.B. (U) MEO PROFESSIONALS WILL PARTNER WITH AND SHARE
ORGANIZATIONAL CCA AND DEOCS RESULTS, INCLUDING THE SURVEY
COMMENTS SECTION AND THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND PLAN OF ACTION,
WITH THE I-PAG PROGRAM MANAGER/SUPERVISORY PREVENTION LEAD. MEO
PROFESSIONALS WILL PROVIDE AN OUTBRIEF TO COMMANDERS AND
LEADERS WITHIN 30 CALENDAR DAYS OF DEOCS COMPLETION. COMPLETION
OUTBRIEFS THROUGH EMAIL AND CONFIRMATION OF RECEIPT ARE NOT
ACCEPTABLE. SUBSEQUENT TO RECEIVING A RESULTS REVIEW,
COMMANDERS MUST BRIEF THEIR SUPERVISOR OR HIGHER HEADQUARTERS
ON THE RESULTS.
6.C. (U) ALL SURVEY ADMINISTRATORS WILL ADD AN IPPW/I-PAG POINT OF
CONTACT IF AVAILABLE AT THEIR INSTALLATION.

LATER THAN 30 DAYS (60 DAYS FOR USAR/ARNG) AFTER RECEIPT OF SURVEY
RESULTS. COMMANDERS WILL RECEIVE ASSISTANCE FROM THEIR MEO
PROFESSIONAL AND OR IPPW PARTNERS/I-PAG TO DEVELOP CCA ACTION
PLANS. COMMANDERS CAN LEVERAGE PREVIOUS CIPP INFORMATION FOR
THEIR ACTION PLANS.
7.A.8. (U) A CCA ACTION PLAN IS A STRUCTURED APPROACH THAT A
COMMANDER USES TO IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN A POSITIVE CLIMATE. IT
SHOULD INCLUDE PLANNED ACTIONS TO ADDRESS AREAS OF CONCERN WITH
WAYS TO MONITOR OR EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THOSE PLANNED
ACTIONS AND ENSURE THEY ARE EXECUTED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
7.A.9. (U) MEO PROFESSIONALS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP COMMAND
CLIMATE ACTIONS PLANS/DEOCS ACTION PLANS. THESE ACTION PLANS ARE
FOCUSED ON THE O-6 LEVEL AND ARE DEVELOPED IN COORDINATION WITH
THE I-PAG AND OTHER PREVENTION PARTNERS. THESE ACTION PLANS
SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO THE I-PAG FOR INCLUSION IN THE CIPP PLAN.

FACTORS FOR HARMFUL BEHAVIORS AS OUTLINED IN REFERENCE 1.A.
7.B.5. (U) IF A CHANGE OF COMMAND OCCURS DURING THE ANNUAL DEOCS
FIELDING WINDOW, COMMANDERS SHOULD CONDUCT A SINGLE DEOCS TO
FULFILL BOTH CHANGE OF COMMAND CCA AND ANNUAL CCA REQUIREMENTS.
8. (U) COMMANDERS MAY FIELD A DOCP SURVEY VOLUNTARILY FOR ANY
REASON OR MAY BE DIRECTED BY THEIR LEADERSHIP TO ADMINISTER A
DOCP SURVEY. FOR EXAMPLE, A DOCP SURVEY MAY BE ADMINISTERED AS
PART OF A CHANGE-IN-COMMAND CCA OR AS A FOLLOW-UP SURVEY TO
COLLECT INFORMATION TO ADDRESS CHALLENGES IDENTIFIED DURING A
UNIT’S OR ORGANIZATION’S ANNUAL DEOCS AND CCA ACTIVITIES. TO
MINIMIZE SURVEY FATIGUE, A DOCP SURVEY MUST NOT BE ADMINISTERED TO
THE SAME INDIVIDUAL MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR OR ADMINISTERED WITHIN
THE 90 DAYS BEFORE OR AFTER A DEOCS. DOCP REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

To align with Executive Order 14099, "Moving Beyond COVID-19 Vaccination

significant hospitalizations, especially during fall and winter. To maintain a healthy workforce,
the Department encourages CYP employees to stay current with vaccinations.
In the event of a contagious disease outbreak, and consistent with Military Department

3. HQDA EXORD 270-25 OFFICER CAREER FIELD REVIEW (CUI), DTG: 181844Z AUG 25. The CSA has directed the Army G1 to modernize the Army's approach to officer career field management, ensuring it effectively addresses evolving demands and future capabilities…. Effective immediately, the Army will conduct a comprehensive review while analyzing the functional area (posture) and the non-accession branches, commencing in July 2025 and concluding by December 2025…. This endeavor will align officer management practices, with forthcoming operational and strategic capabilities, to optimize the significant investment in Army Officers and enhance talent across the force. The two goals of this effort are to increase flexibility for basic branch officers to serve in a subset of current functional areas and to modify/reduce/eliminate the number, size, and/or composition of current functional areas (FAs). See the entire EXORD on the HQDA G3/5/7 SharePoint at the following link. https://armyeitaas.sharepoint-mil.us/:f:/r/sites/HQDA-G357-DAMO-OD/HQDA%20EXORDS/FY%202025?csf=1&web=1&e=u2FYlh

a. ALARACT 081/2025, SATELLITE AND BLENDED INTERMEDIATE LEVEL
EDUCATION WAY FORWARD, DTG: R 191600Z AUG 25. On 28 May 2025, the CSA approved the closure of the Fort Belvoir and Redstone Arsenal Satellite ILE Programs and the reduction of the blended TTBM4 ILE program at Fort Leavenworth to only the basic branch credentialing, Advanced Operations Course (AOC). The changes are effective following the end date of current May - August 2025 Fort Belvoir and Redstone Arsenal satellite common core classes, and the July - November 2025 Fort Leavenworth TTBM4 common core class. These changes result in the elimination of all 768 annual in - person common core course opportunities from the satellite and blended ILE programs but sustain in - person AOC opportunities for Active Component (AC) and Reserve component (RC) basic branch officers. Beginning with the FY 2025 Army Competitive Category Major Promotion Selection Board (PSB) convening on or about 18 June 2025, the ILE selection board immediately following, and all subsequent AC and RC major PSB and ILE selection boards, all AC basic branch, functional area, special branch, and RC officers not selected for the 10- month resident course will complete ILE common core by distance learning. https://armyeitaas.sharepoint-mil.us/teams/S1NETHomePage/Lists/Officer%20Policy/ALARACT%200812025,%20SATELLITE%20AND%20BLENDED%20INTERMEDIATE%20LEVEL%20%20EDUCATION%20WAY%20FORWARD,%20DTG%20R%20191600Z%20AUG%2025

How to solve, per system, the discrepancy (including submission method, required documents, approval authority, etc). https://actnow.army.mil/forums/html/topic?id=dd7856c7-6640-4ff5-9359-adad06b87ba3

MEMORANDUM FOR Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4, 500 Army Pentagon, Washington, DC 20310-
0500
SUBJECT: Recommendation for Lieutenant General Arthur J. Gregg Leadership Award
1. Recommend the following individual be awarded the Lieutenant General Arthur J. Gregg
Leadership Award.
a. Name: John Smith
b. Rank/Grade: MAJ/O-4
c. MOS/Series: 90A/92A
d. Unit of Assignment/Directorate: HQDA, G-4/Strategic Readiness Division
e. Duty Position: Chief of Current Operation
f. Inclusive Dates: 11 May 2015 – 12 November 2016
g. Justification:
(1) MAJ Smith exemplifies everything the Army and the Logistics Corps values in a
leader and has displayed excellence throughout his stellar career. While assigned as the Chief
of the HQDA, G-4 Current Operations and Strategic Readiness Division, MAJ Smith has spread
the Army message on Operational Materiel Readiness to the Army’s most senior leadership (the
Secretary of the Army, Chief of Staff of the Army, the Under Secretary of the Army and the
Assistant Secretary of the Army, for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology), in an effort to
support the continued evolution of the vital Army materiel enterprise. His leadership and
planning abilities were instrumental to the G-4’s ability to make decisive and informed decision
regarding policies, processes, and resources.
(2) MAJ Smith created process improvements that drove maintenance backorders down
by 31%, far exceeding the other commands. Once MAJ Smith’s processes were adopted by the
entire command, there was a further reduction of 18% across the industrial customer base
within six months. The processes were later adopted by the higher four-star command, who
used this approach to drive improvement across the command’s 25M labor hours and $5B in
repairs annually. MAJ Smith also developed tracking mechanisms that were implemented
theater wide to support the responsible drawdown of every major commodity in theater.
(3) MAJ Smith also managed the activities of 1,440 contractors who operated the Class I
delivery system and operated four defense reutilization and marketing offices in Iraq. MAJ
Smith’s team provided 100% of the class I, III, and IV, and 92% of all other major commodities
in support of three U.S. Army Divisions. These totals included providing more than 1.2 million
gallons of class III and 360 trucks of Class I daily in support of operations. MAJ Smith
supervised $3.4B worth of class I and III for the entire Iraq join operations area, while providing
food to nearly 200,000 military and civilian personnel daily.
