As many of you may have heard, we have been advised by the milSuite Team that a decision was made by the Army CIO and Army DCS G6 on 26 February 2025 to sunset milSuite on 31 March 2025. When you log on to milSuite, you see the following popup:
“milSuite will sunset effective 31 March 2025
IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED: milSuite will sunset effective 31 March 2025. All data will be permanently inaccessible after 31 March 2025. Organizations and users that need to retain data resident on the platform must migrate their respective data NLT 31MAR25. This is a user-driven migration. There are no migration tools or services available. See the milSuite Support Forum for more information.”
This isn’t a “sunset of S1NET,” but as milSuite is the professional networking software platform on which S1NET sits, this definitely presents a challenge. HR leadership is looking at options to continue S1NET support to the field after 31 Mar. We will provide that info to you when we have it via S1NET Message Summary. We will also post updates as they are available at the following link on S1NET. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/thread/295862
For anyone who has content posted on S1NET/milSuite which they do not have backed up elsewhere, the above announcement encourages you to download that content prior to 31 Mar 25. The milSuite Team has provided instructions at the following link. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/community/milsuite

This directive rescinds Army Directive 2024-08, dated 14 June 2024, and establishes Army policy for reporting to the Department of Defense (DoD) Deputy Inspector General (DIG) for Evaluations, through the Department of the Army Office of The Inspector General (OTIG), any allegation that a Soldier is engaged in a prohibited activity, as defined in enclosure 2, this AD. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1361350
