1. MyBoardFile (MBF) is changing beginning in October and will
replace how board members view files during promotion and evaluation
boards. US Army Human Resources Command, in support of Army Talent
Management and Data Accuracy efforts, modernized the Army Selection
Board System. This includes Eligibility, My Board File and Voting
capabilities for the total Army, regardless of component.
2.
MyBoardFile is a Soldier’s link and input into the board process.
MyBoardFile then mirrors to The Army Selection Board System v2.0
(ASBS2), which is the system used by board members voting files during a
promotion or evaluation board. Soldiers will now see exactly what
voters see. Soldiers will always have access to their MyBoardfile, not
just during the board process. Additionally, data on MyBoardFile is
linked to IPPS-A, the source document for all HR Data. Soldiers can view
their data and work with their S-1 to update IPPS-A to ensure their
MyBoardFile and board eligibility are correct. Soon, Soldiers will have
a direct link to their Career Managers through MyBoardFile to validate
and update any additional data within their MyBoardFile.
3.
One other big change with the board process is the Record Brief.
Previous versions of the record brief will be replaced with live IPPS-A
data on Candidate Information Cards. These cards provide a summary for
board members and are viewable on MyBoardFile for Soldiers to review and
validate.
4.
Data accuracy is Critical to this system. If you or your Soldiers have
eligibility information that is incorrect, they will not be considered
eligible for a board. That’s why it is vitally important to validate and
correct IPPS-A data elements. Work with your local S-1 to get updates
posted as soon as possible.”

Attached at the following link are two files to help Soldiers and S1s
navigate the MBF. The MBF Soldier Demonstration 9-25-2024 is a guide to
help orient users to the new My Board File (MBF). This new MBF link will
be used for HQDA centralized boards that convene 2 DEC 2024 and later.
MBF for existing boards can be found at the links in the associated
Board MILPER. The data quality guide is a tool to help Soldiers and the
HR Professionals navigate where to correct data in IPPSA. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/message/1075544
