LIFE CYCLE MANAGMENT MOST RECENT DATE CHANGES = 8 MAY 06

Force Stabilization: How We Will Man The Force: 

Force Stabilization: How We Will Man The Force Stabilization Most stability and predictability Longer assignments for CONUS-based Soldiers and Families Extended initial tours Enables higher levels of cohesion Uses a regional approach Multiple opportunities to return to same post Unit Focused Stability Synchronizes with Unit Operational Cycle Minimizes Soldier losses for deployed units Provides combat ready, agile, cohesive units Uses Lifecycle and Cyclic Manning Management Individual Replacement System (IRS) Current system doesn’t go completely away Used for most OCONUS units until return to CONUS Used for the Institutional Army (TRADOC, etc) Some low density specialties will always stay IRS (not you)

What Isn’t Changing?: 

What Isn’t Changing? The Soldier is the Centerpiece of all our Units. Soldiers are: The most effective, flexible, and adaptable asset we possess The Army’s best sensor – receives, processes information better than any technology The face of the United States overseas Everything We Do is Designed to Support Them

Personnel Impact: 

Year round assignments (permanent) with abbreviated lead times (for the next several years). Greater turbulence in the near term. High PERSTEMPO. Significant increase in MSC authorizations, primarily within the AOCs of 70B, 70H, 70K, 72D, 73A, and 73B. Career path changes. Objective force model changes. Behavior Change – Cultural Change Personnel Impact

Slide56: 

Masking Early OERs 2LT / WO1 1LT / CW2 CPT / CW3 POLICY WO1 reports “masked” after selection to CW3 LT reports masked at promotion to CPT Eliminates concerns over a “zero defects” system Officer Records Brief lists duty positions Remember – all LT OERs are seen by CPTs board-Even LT Sarmiento’s.

Slide57: 

Reinforcing Rules: First single top box at a given grade will generate an ACOM label at DA, regardless of profile (of the first four OERs in a grade, by component, any one, but only one, can be an ACOM.) Cannot mention box check in the narrative Restarts by grade, with SR’s permission, after 3 reports & a documented misfire in that grade have been processed at HQDA

Slide58: 

OER/AER Tips Ratee: Closely review/verify OER/AER administrative information Record the correct duty title/description Don’t expect an ACOM!!! Especially with small SR profile If you are in a LTHET program, discuss with rater about commenting on your: Leadership and Management skills Potential to serve in key positions Future education potential Good looks – just kidding Rater/Senior Rater: Paint a clear word picture of accomplishments and potential Don’t be overly verbose or skimpy on comments Say what you mean (talk reality) Quantify where possible

Slide59: 

Know your Population, e.g. How They Perform, When they go before Boards When Reports will be Due.....… Look Ahead, Establish a Plan, Develop rating philosophy based on “Center of Mass” norm -- Goal is 1/3 in Top Box, ensure Top Box is always less than 1/2 Review rating chains; combine small populations into larger groups where possible, allowing for a Broader View and a Better Comparison Consider Start-up Costs (1st 4 reports in each grade, only 1 ACOM) Can not Hold OERs Past 90 Days Quantify where possible Senior Rater Tips

LATEST CHANGES: 

LATEST CHANGES OER PROCESSING AKO FORMS PORTAL Training link on last week’s 67C Roster email – through AKO

Slide61: 

Users now get forms from the “My Forms” tab on AKO or from APD’s web site. “My Forms” Link on AKO Home

Slide62: 

This is what users see when they are in AKO “My Forms” – the portal.

Slide63: 

AKO “My Forms” available to the Army with all DA and some DD forms converted to PureEdge. 103 forms have electronic signatures. “My Forms” management functions available to users with these forms. On AKO, users find military evals current to AR 623-105, -205, & -1. Full Wizard (Green) Forms Available to Users Once testing at HQDA is complete we will place the wizardized versions of revised military evaluation forms on AKO “My Forms.” Forms include digital signature, help keys, and embedded regulatory logic. Allows creation of final evaluations from support forms. Electronic Submission to HQDA Once testing at HQDA is complete we will initiate the automatic “send to HQDA” function on AKO “My Forms.” Until this time, users can send reports to HQDA in the manner currently available to them (mail, upload, OER by Email, etc). Last day to send old versions of forms to HQDA. Users must submit revised forms after this date. Users prepare and submit delinquent or missing reports from previous rating periods before this date. Hereafter, all OER/NCOER must be on the revised form. Effective date of new AR 623-3 & DA PAM 623-3 which covers OER, NCOER, and AER Systems and which revises all military evaluation forms.
