a. MOD 1 to Annex B: This annex provides supplemental guidance and information pertaining to the Test and Evaluation phase that runs from March 2020 through December 2021.
b. MOD 1 to Annex C: This annex provides Release 3 New Equipment Training (NET) and deployment guidance.
c. MOD 1 to Annex L: This annex provides the Brownout and Cutover Concept. Brownout is the shutting-off of legacy systems identified to be subsumed or converted to IPPS-A in Release 3 (R3). Brownout precedes the start of and sets conditions for cutover, a roughly three-week period that includes the conversion of legacy system data for use in IPPS-A R3. Systems that remain operational that rely on legacy systems for data will be functioning using stale data until IPPS-A R3 Go Live. The Army is coordinating preparations to minimize the brownout and cutover period’s impact on Soldiers and their Families, and each units’ ability to meet mission requirements. The exact brownout date, once validated by upcoming ROC drills, will be published to the field O/A 1Q22, and will be the last opportunity to conduct business in legacy systems. Other key items in this annex:
(1) HR Support. In preparation for brownout Soldiers are encouraged to update their records prior to 15 NOV 21, and to maintain an offline copy in order to validate their record in IPPS-A post- Go Live. This includes their Record Brief, DD93s, PERSTEMPO, and if necessary, their service computation. HR Professionals are encouraged to frontload business processes they typically conduct in legacy systems prior to 15 NOV 21 and pull and maintain offline copies of all products and reports they rely on legacy systems to provide, to include AAA rosters and gains and loss rosters. These steps will minimize brownout impacts and ensure Soldiers and units are prepared for the high volume of ‘catch-up’ assignments and actions that will have to be input/back-dated in IPPS-A upon Go Live.
(2) Assignments Drawdown: These activities start with the drawdown of assignments starting 11 NOV 21 until 15 JAN 22 and the execution of critical and essential assignments, specifically on Soldiers coming out of resident training, those determined to be critical and essential by assignments directorates, and expedited assignments impacted by the assignments drawdown included in the list of assignments at Exhibit 2.
(3) Conduct pre-cutover PAI from 15 AUG – 15 SEP 2021 IAW AR 600-8-6. The pre-cutover PAI is intended to provide the cleanest possible accountability data for conversion into IPPS-A, and timed to support end of FY strength reporting starting 1 OCT, leaving roughly 40 days between that activity and the PCS drawdown to address persistent roster issues. The drawdown leaves approximately two weeks of decreased movement before brownout begins, allowing S1s to focus on their failure to gain/failure to depart population. Change of Command PAIs occurring within 30 days prior to the pre-cutover PAI, between 15 JUL and 15 AUG, will satisfy this requirement.
2. REGULAR ARMY NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER NCOPDS SCHEDULING AS OF OCTOBER 2021 FOR SLC/MLC.
