Recently published DOD and Army Directives (AD) and All Army Activity (ALARACT) messages. New ALARACTs and ADs are also posted on APD at the following link. https://armypubs.army.mil/default.aspx a. ARMY DIRECTIVE 2023-02, DIRECT APPOINTMENT AND COMMISSION OF CERTAIN WARRANT OFFICERS, 6 FEB 23. This directive establishes policy for the direct appointment or commission of warrant officers not in rated aviation or special forces military occupation specialties (MOSs). To meet accession requirements for warrant officer branches, this directive expands opportunities for Soldiers to apply for direct appointment to warrant officer one (WO1) or direct commission to chief warrant officer two (CW2). Army Directives 2021-19 and 2021-31 prescribe direct accession and promotion eligibility for Soldiers in rated aviation or special forces MOSs. Effective immediately, Soldiers in other MOSs may be eligible for direct appointment to the grade of WO1 or direct commission to the grade of CW2. Selection for each source of accession will be made based on criteria established by the Deputy Chief of Staff (DCS), G-1 in coordination with the MOS proponent branch. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1230152 b. ALARACT 014/2023, IMPLEMENTING GUIDANCE FOR DIRECT APPOINTMENT AND DIRECT COMMISSION OF CERTAIN WARRANT OFFICERS, DTG: R 161700Z FEB 23. This message provides implementing guidance for direct appointment to WO1 and direct commission to CW2 for certain warrant officer military occupational specialties (MOSs). This guidance does not apply to warrant officer applicants for special forces or rated aviation. The Army faces critical operational shortages across the technical warrant officer community. These shortages impose significant impacts to Army readiness. Updated policy in accordance with Army Directive 2023-02 allows warrant officer proponents to identify qualified Soldiers for direct appointments to WO1 or direct commissioning to CW2. It further allows the Army to improve warrant officer accessions and advance the warrant officer throughput selection to employment. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1230152 c.

ALARACT 016/2023, FAMILY MEMBER TRAVEL SCREENING GUIDANCE FOR SUMMER 2023 ASSIGNMENT CYCLE, DTG: R 162024Z FEB 23. The purpose of this ALARACT is to provide guidance to Soldiers moving overseas (includes Alaska and Hawaii) during the 2023 summer assignment cycle. All Soldiers moving overseas (includes Alaska and Hawaii) must initiate family member travel screening (FMTS) immediately upon receipt of overseas assignment instructions. FMTS ensures Soldiers do not permanent change of station (PCS) to locations that cannot meet the family member’s medical and educational needs.
