1. THE ADJUTANT GENERAL (TAG) SENDS: FEB 25. From BG Adam D. Smith, The Adjutant General of the Army: “It has been two months since ASBS 2.0 went live and we have improved the Promotion/Selection Board process and MyBoardFile. ASBS2 and MyBoardFile are having a large, POSITIVE impact across all Components. I appreciate your efforts to help Soldiers eligible for Boards update their records and IPPS-A data in support of the Army’s Data Accuracy Campaign.” Some key points from this TAG Sends follow: https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1359598
a. KEY POINTS FROM THE TAG SGM: Teammates, We need your help with IPPS-A transactions for frocking to 1SG or SGM. There have been multiple instances where Soldiers who are frocked to 1SG and/or SGM are being erroneously promoted in IPPS-A. While commanders (COL/O6 and above) may authorize Soldiers in the rank of SFC to be frocked to 1SG and Sergeant Major Management Division (SMMD)/Human Resources Command (HRC) will generate a memorandum authorizing the frocking of MSGs to SGM, things like ID cards, personnel data systems, and pay/entitlements will not be changed to reflect the frocked rank. Soldiers should not change the rank entry date (RED) or the grade entry date (GED) in IPPS-A to the effective date of the frocking nor should they add a frocked rank. No frocking actions should be completed as a promotion in IPPS-A. THESE ERRONEOUS PROMOTIONS CAN NEGATIVELY IMPACT ACTUAL PROMOTIONS FOR SOLDIERS.
b. ERS LOOKUP FOR MBF USAGE AND ELIGIBILITY FOR G1/S1. HRC Evaluations Branch developed an updated Board Lookup Tool in the Evaluation Entry System (EES) to provide HR Professionals visibility on board eligible population by promotion and selection board. This tool is searchable to DML, DMSL, or UIC and is in a DASHBOARD TAB on the Evaluations Reporting page. This is our first attempt to link IPPS-A, Boards, and Evaluations information.
c. AWARD AND DECORATIONS BRANCH UPDATE. The Awards and Decorations Branch (ADB) is beginning preparations for the Distinguished Service Medal (DSM) submission season, which runs from February to May. Please remember to start the award early, as a board by-pass memo will only be accepted by the VCSA’s Office if endorsed by a Lieutenant General. DSMs are processed outside IPPS-A and are still submitted on a DA Form-638. The current average processing time for a DSM from submission to the Proposed Presentation Date (PPD) is 40 days. See attached (at link provided above) updated ADB Trends and Analysis.
d. MILPAY TRANSITION UPDATE. The Military Pay (MILPAY) team continues to work with Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS) and HQDA G-1 Functional Management Division (FMD) to help HR Professionals prepare for additional MILPAY responsibilities as Army Military Payroll (AMP) is built out in IPPS-A. To facilitate improved MILPAY delivery in this hybrid pay environment, a MILPAY Unit Scorecard is in development to help illuminate MILPAY proficiency and instill a culture of auditability by command.
2. TRANSITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (TAP) NEWS RELEASE. TAP Talk – Episode 14 premiered on February 12, 2025, at 1000 (EST).
