Army Human Resource System

Abstract

The Army Human Resource System (099) contains the following programs: Go Army Education managed by the Human Resource Command, Commanders Risk Reduction Dashboard managed by Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) and Regional Level Applications Software (RLAS) managed by United States Army Reserves (USAR). In support of recruiting and retention for a more educated workforce, GoArmyEd is the virtual financial management portal and decision-support tool for 1) AD, USAR and ARNG Soldiers to request Tuition Assistance (TA); 2) Cadets to request Scholarship payments and 3) Department of the Army (DA) Civilians and Apprentices to request professional development funds. GoArmyEd is an enterprise system that enforces eligibility for higher education funds and creates efficiencies with its automated processes. Soldiers, Scholarship Cadets, DA Civilians and Apprentices use it to pursue post-secondary educational goals and professional development objectives; Army Education Counselors use it to provide educational guidance; Career Program Managers and Training Managers use it to manage civilian training; and Academic Institutions use it to deliver degree and course offerings and to report user progress and degree completions for 206K Soldiers, Cadets and Civilians. Commanders Risk Reduction Dashboard (CRRD) began with the identification of capability gaps arising out of the 2010 Red Book and 2012 Gold Book, two extensive studies directed by senior army leadership to examine suicide prevention (Red Book) and the Army's health and discipline (Gold Book). The studies illustrated that Commanders faced capability gaps in their ability to identify high risk behavior and risk factors, analyze soldier and unit risk, and identify risk trends and develop intervention strategies. CRRD provides Commanders at echelons Company through Major Army Command the ability to visualize and take preventive action to mitigate risk factors impacting their soldiers and formations by going to one dashboard and seeing data from multiple data sources. CRRD has additional enhancements projected for the programmed $621K to improve the Increment (INC) II capability release. The United States Army Reserve (USAR) utilizes the Regional Level Application Software (RLAS) as an enterprise system for duty attendance, military pay, Soldier records management and training calendar management to access, transact, store and manage Soldier and unit data required to conduct synchronized USAR operations. Unlike the Army Active Component (AC) where Soldier military pay is centrally managed and input at the installation level, the USAR utilizes RLAS to manage and input decentralized Soldier pay transactions at the unit level. RLAS consists of four modules: Pay, Personnel, Training, and Resource Management. Research and Development (R&D) authority and funding will provide RLAS with investment funds for necessary system development and system modifications. R&D funding amounts increase slightly towards the end of RLAS lifecycle (FY 2019 and 2020) in order to fully support the Integrated Pay and Personnel System - Army (IPPS-A) transition. Annually, USAR will provide sustainment funding. R&D authority and sustainment funding will meet the USAR Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) and Office of the Secretary of Defense Judge Advocate General (OTJAG) opinions regarding defense information Technology (IT) system for R&D activities. Necessary RLAS system development and system modifications include: 1) IPPS-A interface requirements; 2) implementing Microsoft .net Framework 4.5 standards; 3) implementing new Operating Systems (OS), system utilities and other technology products. Enhanced development and modification to RLAS will improve RLAS system capabilities and bring RLAS into compliance with various Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) and audit readiness requirements. RLAS will continue to process duty attendance, military pay, Soldier personnel transactions and training calendars until the system is fully subsumed by IPPS-A.
