1. CLOTHING INITIAL ISSUE POINT (CIIP) CLASS A TRANSITION AND CONTROLLED SUPPLY RATE (CSR) POLICY, 22 APR 21.  From the Army G-4: The Army is transitioning from the Army Service Uniform (ASU) to the Army Green Service Uniform (AGSU) within the clothing bag for Soldiers at initial entry training (IET). This transition will take place at different times at each CIIP.  Army G-1 Uniform Policy has asked that we distribute this memo to leaders so they will be aware that Soldiers reporting from IET in the next few months may not have all of their initial issue.  Soldiers who do not receive a complete Basis Issue of their Class A Uniform (ASU or AGSU) will receive a DA Form 3078 listing the items due to the Soldier, as outlined in AR 700-84. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-971488

2. AG COMMUNITY RFIs CONCERNING THE NEW AR 600-8-2, SUSPENSION OF FAVORABLE PERSONNEL ACTIONS (FLAG). From the FLAG Proponent:  At the suggestion of CW3 Carrion (thanks Chief) 593rd ESC, JBLM, starting this discussion and sharing location for any information, questions, or comments reference the updated flag regulation and new DA Form 268, or the new directive for promotion boards to see adverse and derogatory information up front. Questions posted at this link may also be used in the upcoming FAQ pamphlet update for scroll withholds, SSRB and PRB delay of promotions, and CRB actions. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/thread/252346

3. BUILD UNIT COHESION TO MOTIVATE SOLDIERS. From the Army Resilience Directorate: A cohesive unit is a group that works together as a team and trusts one another, where group members feel a sense of work satisfaction and well-being. Group cohesion is “a dynamic process which is reflected in the tendency for a group to stick together and remain united in the pursuit of its instrumental objectives and for the satisfaction of members’ active needs”.
