Teammates,
Thank you for continuing to navigate the system and quickly bring issues to our attention for resolution. We could not do this without the help of HR Professionals and Soldiers in the field.
I want to share with you some updates, guidance, and resources:
Personnel Asset Inventory (PAI) Reconciliation
It is essential that the Army can see the overall strength of all components to align force composition to meet mission requirements, advise Congress on budgetary requirements, and ensure necessary recruiting targets are met.
Your help is needed to do this.
HR Professionals and Leaders
must prioritize PAI reconciliation to (1) correct Failure to Lose/Failure to Gain (FTL/FTG) discrepancies in IPPS-A, and (2) ensure current and future iterations of IPPS-A reflect accurate information.
Active Component Commanders are to conduct Personnel Asset Inventory (PAI) reconciliation between 15 October 2024 and 15 November 2024. For details, review the
HQDA EXORD 024-24 (FRAGO 1) Army-Wide Personnel Asset Inventory (PAI) (Final).pdf.
We encourage you to utilize our resources and job aids to assist with reaching 100% accountability and to leverage IPPS-A’s Service for Analytics and Business Intelligence Reports (SABIR) capabilities to forecast mission requirements.
The following job aids can help:
- Account for the Army Checklist
- Pay-Absences-Incent-Ded (PAID) and In-Transit Grid (ITG) User Guide
- Personnel Accountability & Strength Reporting (PASR)
You may find all job aids here:
