Mobile Capabilities Are Here!
The IPPS-A human resources mobile application (app) allows Soldiers to access their personnel records using a mobile phone or tablet. The app provides Soldiers with self-service access to Army personnel records without requiring a common access card (CAC) for authentication and has the same level of sophistication and security that secure banking and personal service apps have today. Through the app, self-service transactions — including trouble tickets — are automated, paper-free and transparent from initiation to approval.
Users can also CAC login into the app, allowing HR Professionals and Commanders to approve anywhere at anytime!
The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Mobile Team completed the screening process and approval of the IPPS-A Mobile App on January 18, 2019. Full app functionality is available for users who are provisioned, all 54 Army National Guard States and territories.
The purpose of the IPPS-A mobile app is to provide the IPPS-A users a convenient way of logging into IPPS-A self-service through DS Logon utilizing a smart phone or tablet.

Download Locations

Option: CAC Login with a Mobile Device
- For users who plan to CAC log in from their mobile device, the CIO G6 recommend installing the Sub Rosa app to ensure secure access. Sub Rosa can be found in your system’s app store.
- After you have completed all the installation instructions, open the Sub Rosa app and place the IPPS-A web portal link into the browser and sign-in.
**NOTE: Some users reported alternative methods required for download. If you experience difficulties, please try user recommendations:
After downloading the TAG app and in order to get to the IPPS-A app, the password to unlock the IPPS-A app may be your EAMS-A username and password, not the DS Login. The EAMS-A is typically your AKO username and password. However, it may require your original or legacy AKO username to be entered versus your current AKO username. Once you enter the EAMS-A password, then proceed to unlock the IPPS-A app and use the DS Login from there.
If you still experience difficulties, please contact the IPPS-A Help Desk.
