Human Resouces Information Technology

Abstract

The efforts under this project support the Army's Human Resources Information Technology needs. TRANSITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM XXI (TAP XXI): The Transition Assistance Program XXI (TAP-XXI) application provides an interactive, multimedia approach to pre-separation counseling and job assistance training. This application uses full motion video, graphics, and sound to train clients; and schedules clients for classroom-type instruction. It integrates a complete range of transition services and benefits for service members, Department of Defense civilian employees, and their family members as they transition from the military. TAP-XXI is a web-based, three-tiered application with a centralized database for all Transition sites. The user interface is browser-based, the application is based on a storefront intranet model to provide access from within Transition centers. The user interface is browser-based, the application is based on a storefront intranet model to provide access from within Transition centers. The application also allows for access outside of Transition centers to support mobilizing and de-mobilizing during Yellow Ribbon Program events or delivery of services at home station. There is no application processing on the desktops located at Transition Centers. TAP-XXI application suite consists of the following subsystems: Transition Assistance Program - Support (TAP-Support), Transition Assistance Program -Online (TAP-Online) and TAP Virtual (Immersive Terf). The infrastructure modernization will provide system stability, support expansion requirements, and ensure reliable customer support. Human Resource Command (HRC) Core IT: This program supports efforts to plan, design, develop, and test Information Technology (IT) solutions to fulfill the Army's Warfighter Support Mission, accommodate emerging Army requirements, and fulfill Future Army needs. Ongoing development efforts support multiple functional areas including logistics, personnel, transportation, training, medical/health protection, and the sustaining base. The focus of the rationalization effort is to identify value-added applications capable of serving a broader Army enterprise audience and garnering efficiencies through the elimination of outdated, legacy, and duplicative applications. Applications are upgraded or enhanced to meet compliance with Army Common Operating Environment standards in accordance with Army Application Management Business Office (AAMBO). Additionally, program supports enhancements and modifications to the Interactive Personnel Electronic Records Management System (iPERMS) and iPERMS-Secure (iPERMS-S), as well as development of interfaces based upon emerging requirements, Cybersecurity, functionality and compliance with Army standards. R-Builder is a living application database system that allows the Manning Program Evaluation Group (MM PEG) to update the database to include various cost drivers and factors used for programming, budgeting for all Army Service members pay, allowances, and benefits for the all-volunteer Army. R-Builder is used to develop the annual Program Objective Memorandum -Budget Estimate Submission (POM-BES), and to develop and manage the Army's military and civilian personnel in order to execute the President's National Security Strategy. The Army Review Board Agency (ARBA) operates under the delegated authority of the Secretary of the Army as the final level of appeal for service members in uniform, veterans, and their family members, adjudicating tens of thousands of claimed errors or injustices annually. ARBA is staffed with 128 military personnel, civilians, and contractors, and additional 350 external Advisors and Boards Members. ARBA struggles with the substantial process and system-related inefficiencies. The Agency currently uses the ARBA Case Tracking System (ACTS) to facilitate case adjudication and the routing of corresponding hard copy case files (a.k.a. "redwelds"). This system was custom built in 1999, strictly for tracking the hand offs of redwelds. At its inception, ACTS was a huge leap forward; however, as the organization and technology evolved, the system has not been able to meet new Agency mission objectives and streamlining initiatives. This antiquated system costs the Agency multi-millions in annual sustainment fees and lacks the agility to address changing business requirements and organizational roles. Army SHARP Data Management System (DMS) Integrated Case Reporting System (ICRS) enhancements will provide stabilization for sexual harassment (SH) data collection, reporting requirements, and analytic processes; ICRS maintains Army sexual assault (SA) legacy data collected prior to 2014 in the Sexual Assault Data Management System (SADMS) IAW public law. ARIMS is the Army's policy and enterprise system deployed to meet statutory (36 CFR) and regulatory (AR 25-1, AR 25-400-2) requirements to manage records that document the policies, decisions, and actions of the Army both as a military department and federal institution. ARIMS supports approximately 58,000 (FY 2022) registered users with tools and capabilities to collect and preserve Army records, serves as the records management component of the Army Electronic Archives (AEA), and the Secretary of the Army has mandated its use to collect and preserve Army records. ARIMS is in production on the SIPRNet with ARIMS-Classified (ARIMS-C) to provide similar capabilities for the collection and preservation of the Army's classified records. ARIMS is an integrated system that supports the SecArmy objective to integrate management systems for the Army's records management programs and business operations. This line item funds for system, network, and application sustainment for the ARIMS and ARIMS-C infrastructure. Technology changes, integration, and systems migration require contractor support to ensure the AEA continues to preserve essential electronic records. These activities support the ARIMS applications and comply with the SecArmy and Senior Army leadership to integrate and standardize management systems for business operations. Failure to fund will result in the loss of expertise and in extensive down time in the event of any hardware or software failure in the ARIMS infrastructure. ARIMS downtime precludes the collection and preservation of the Army long-term important records (such as past Contingency Operations (CONOPS) records). As a web-based and customized GOTS system, ARIMS is dependent on private industry expertise to conduct troubleshooting and correction of any application or operating system component that is the foundation of the ARIMS and ARIMS-C systems. These skill sets are not maintained by government staff and must, by DoD directive (C3I), be acquired from the private sector. Family Advocacy System of Records (FASOR) is the information system used by the Army to manage child and adult based abuse incidents referred by the Family Advocacy Program (FAP). FASOR is used to capture/perform incident case management and allows for standardization of reviews and incident determinations. FASOR is a key system used in FAP Army Central Registry (ACR) background checks when determining suitability of individuals to be placed into "positions of trust". Finally, FASOR facilitates reporting and data analysis in support of internal, Army, DoD, FOIA and Congressional requirements.
