1. IPPS-A UPDATE (CSMs/SGMs) 15 MAY 2024: SELF-SERVICE TRAINING, ORDERS FORMATTING UPDATES, ADDENDUMS FOR ORDERS, OTE DECOMMISSIONING, TEMPORARY PROMOTIONS UPDATE, IPPS-A ROADMAP, DRIVE THE CHANGE CHANNEL, AND RESOURCES. From SGM Paul Smith, SEA, IPPS-A FMD: Thank you for continuing to encourage your Soldiers to learn the system. As your NCOs become more proficient in IPPS-A Self-Service, they are better able to empower their Soldiers. I want to provide you with some updates, guidance, and resources to share with your units as they continue to navigate IPPS-A: https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1322606
a. SELF-SERVICE TRAINING. A critical part of building upon your Soldiers’ confidence in using IPPS-A is having them understand the absence request process. Please encourage your units to train in self-service functions within the system. The IPPS-A Self-Service User Guide is a good place for them to start.
b. ORDERS FORMATTING UPDATES. Soldiers asked and we listened. Please ensure your units are aware orders generated by IPPS-A will soon include the official Army seal.
c. ADDENDUMS FOR ORDERS. We have begun implementing new functionality allowing you to amend certain items in orders, without having to submit addendums.
d. OPERATIONAL TRAINING ENVIRONMENT (OTE) DECOMMISSIONING. Please ensure your NCOs are aware that on 15 April 2024, we shifted towards using a single OTE, now referred to as “OTE A.” Supporting one environment allows for a faster refresh rate while still providing trainees the learning experience they need.
e. IPPS-A ROADMAP. Please ensure your NCOs know that IPPS-A has a roadmap to guide stakeholders through FY26. This outlines the major post-release aspects of IPPS-A development, and provides clarity on project goals, milestones, tasks, timelines, and dependencies.
f. DRIVE THE CHANGE CHANNEL. If your NCOs are looking for more IPPS-A information, please make sure they join the Drive the Change channel on MS Teams! They will get updates, training information, and job aids for new releases.
