Army Human Resource System
Abstract
The Army Human Resource System Project (099) contains the following programs: ArmyIgnitED Modernization managed by the Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) and Regional Level Applications Software (RLAS) managed by United States Army Reserves (USAR). 1. ArmyIgnitED: In support of recruiting and retention for a more educated workforce, ArmyIgnitED is an Army Credentialing and Continuing Education Services for Soldiers (ACCESS) program, 24/7 virtual financial management portal, and decision-support tool for 1) Active Duty, US Army Reserves and Army National Guard 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. ArmyIgnitED 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 292K Soldiers, Cadets and Civilians. ArmyIgnitED includes an automated registration tool that enforces policies and procedures, serves as a financial feeder for automated financial transactions, tracks academic / training progress within the system, and provides visibility of financial management and regulatory compliance of enrollment processes. ArmyIgnitED is hosted in the Air Force's Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud until migration to an Army Cloud environment is decided, funded, and implemented. FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount of $2.930 million will support remaining enhancements during the Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) phase. FY 2025 planned capability enhancements include: Features such as enhanced recoupments, metrics reporting, and Interfacing with systems such as the Army Career Tracker (ACT), Defense Civilian Personnel Data System (DCPDS), Joint Service Transcript (JST), Accessions Information Environment (AIE), the Integrated Personnel and Pay System - Army (IPPS-A), and the Defense Activity Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) OSD Rates being integrated into ArmyIgnitED. 2. Regional Level Application Software (RLAS): RLAS is the United States Army Reserve Command (USARC) developed web-based application designed to assist Army Reserve Unit Commanders in accomplishment of critical day to day administrative tasks that support data information flow throughout all echelons Command levels within the Army Reserve. As the Army Reserve is geographically dispersed, RLAS efficiently leverages technology and remote execution of the following tasks: (1) Processes personnel actions to update USARC's official personnel database of record and maintain functionality of personnel actions not subsumed by IPPS-A; (2) Initiate, process, approve, publish and distribute Soldier Active Duty (AD) orders for Annual Training (AT), Active Duty Training (ADT), Active Duty Training School (ADTS), and Active Duty Orders Special Army Reserve (ADOS-RC); (3) Distribute, control, and execute Reserve Personnel Army (RPA) Appropriation for Request for Orders and Additional Drill Assembly processing; (4) Automated preparation and submission of Army Reserve Soldier AD Orders and Inactive Duty Training (IDT) payment requests; (5) Automated preparation and maintenance of Army Reserve Unit training schedules; and (6) Maintains reporting capabilities of critical personnel and resource management data for Army Reserve Commanders, USARC Staff, and Command echelons above and throughout USARC. RLAS is a Legacy Information System that operates as a Financial Feeder System to General Fund Enterprise Business Solution (GFEBS) official Accounting System of record. FY 2025 Base dollars in the amount of $0.305 million will support RLAS day to day enterprise requirements and Army Reserve Component (RC) Soldier military pay transactions which differs from Active Component (AC). Required funding supports three RLAS Modules: Training, Personnel, and Resource Management (supports Military Pay processing for IDT, AT, ADT, ADTS, ADOS-RC). The Personnel Module is required to maintain the functionality between IPPS-A and RLAS, as there are Personnel actions that are still processed within RLAS. RDT&E provides RLAS with investment funds necessary for system development and/or modifications which support Service mandates (i.e., Cloud migration). In FY 2025, the required RDT&E funding required decreases slightly due to projected completion date, deployment, and transition of Modernized RLAS (mRLAS) projected for FY 2024, at which time minor modifications will be required. RLAS System development includes: (1) IPPS-A interface requirements; (2) Implementing Operating Systems (OS), system utilities, and other technological products; (3) Modification enhancement of RLAS capabilities and modifications that support RLAS compliancy with Army Cyber Command and Audit requirements.
