Mission — Information Technology for Training Systems source

This project funds information technology systems that support Army Training. The two systems under FM8 are described below. Of those, the Army Training Information System (ATIS) is an Army priority and the focus of the major investment in FM8. ATIS directly supports two of the four Army Unit Readiness Priorities - Training and Leader Development and serves as an enabler for Manning, Equipping, and Scheduling. 1. Army Training Information System (ATIS) Problem Statement: The Army's current collection of non-integrated training information systems provides limited utility with data that is unreliable, un-trusted, inaccessible, and not responsive to user needs. Sustaining these systems, with their various architectures, standards, and service providers results in higher operating and sustainment costs to the Army. Objective: Collapse 20 legacy systems into a single portal supporting 5 training capability areas. Solution: Utilizing Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) software ATIS will deliver a single portal enterprise training environment capability encompassing scheduling, training development, learning content management, training management, and resource management for all individual, as well as collective training and education. As ATIS is fielded, the Army will reduce the overall cost of the training environment by retiring the duplicative, stove piped systems and improve performance with a data-centric, governed, and architecturally compliant system. ATIS will sunset 20 antiquated information training systems costing over $75M annually. - Training Development: provides ability to develop and coordinate information, including training packages, training events, courses, and exercises. - Training Management: provides centralized ability to access and manage information, including individual and collective/unit training that supports mission tasks and individual training records. - Enterprise Scheduling: provides a single integrated set of applications to schedule training resources, including transportation, classrooms, ranges, supplies, and mandated legal/social individual and unit training. - Content Management: provides centralized access to training information anytime, anywhere, including educational and professional instruction. - Resource Management: provides ability to manage availability/sustainability of training enablers and resources. Without ATIS, Army organizations will continue to maintain an abundance of legacy systems that have redundancies across functionality and capability, which contributes to redundancy and discrepancies in data, thus inhibiting efficient use of training resources (people, time, money, material) and inhibiting leaders' ability to address training readiness at every echelon of the Army. ATIS is being postured to best support DoD and Army Digital Modernization Strategic Initiatives as the authoritative source of data for Training and Readiness information. FY 2026 RDTE Base dollars in the amount of $10.970 million will enable ATIS to sunset the Digital Training Management System (DTMS) in 2QFY26. DTMS is the largest component of the Army Training Management System (ATMS) and its features will be delivered in continuous integrated releases of capability in accordance with Agile Project Management's Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD) model. Development will utilize the robust ATIS infrastructure along with COTS products to continuously improve the quality of software features delivered, improve resource utilization, reduce manual errors through the use of automation in testing and integration, and ensure increased efficiency over time through the use of iterative processes. 2. Defense Language Proficiency Test, version 5 (DLPT5) Content Analysis, Categorization & Modeling (CACM). The DLPT5 Content Analysis, Categorization, and Modeling (CACM) contract is in direct response to Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC)'s DoD Instruction assigned responsibilities for DLPT item bank maintenance, psychometric analysis, and informed pool management, and closely support the DLPT Validity Framework. This project enhances the DLIFLCs ability to efficiently execute high quality DLPT development processes through the integration of benchmark automation capabilities. Accomplishments include: developed and delivered initial AI assisted item generation capabilities; developed and delivered on-demand ordered similarity analysis capabilities; developed and delivered integrated audio quality analysis capabilities; developed and delivered integrated textual analysis capabilities; developed and delivered integrated conversational analysis capabilities; developed and delivered integrated audio quality analysis capabilities; developed auto-triage of examinee comments capabilities; developed and delivered automatic machine translation capabilities; developed and delivered integrated unordered similarity analysis capabilities; developed and delivered integrated Auto-ILR capabilities in 32 languages; developed and delivered integrated machine transcription capabilities in 6 languages; d- developed AI assisted English evaluation; and, developed and delivered annotator alignment analysis capabilities in 2 languages. FY 2026 Base dollars in the amount of $1.139 million support the DLPT5 CACM. The DLPT5 CACM contract is in direct response to DLIFLC's DoD Instruction assigned responsibilities for DLPT item bank maintenance, psychometric analysis, and informed pool management, and closely support the DLPT Validity Framework. Continued development of these capabilities will ultimately result in cost savings for the Government due to reduced dependencies on contracts and outside-expert deliveries.

Mission — USMEPCOM TRANSFORMTION - IT MODERNIZATION source

The United States Military Entrance Processing Command (USMEPCOM) is an Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Field Operating Activity with Army serving as its Executive Agent (EA). USMEPCOM reports to OSD Accession Policy (AP). USMEPCOM is the vital link between recruiting and training America's armed forces. The Command applies established DoD standards during military processing, thereby providing continual military enlistments to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force. USMEPCOM processes applicants for military service through its 65 Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS) across the Continental United States (CONUS) as well as Non-Foreign Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) locations. USMEPCOM began processing applicants for service in the 1970s using a by-hand paper intensive process. In 1995, USMEPCOM introduced the United States Military Entrance Processing Command Integrated Resource System (USMIRS) 1.0. USMIRS provides automated support for conducting aptitude tests and medical examinations and administratively processing, enlisting, and shipping applicants for the Armed Forces, Reserves, and Coast Guard. This includes the support for automated versions of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) tests. The system also initiates Social Security Administration (SSA) checks for identity verification, interfaces with US Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) to verify citizenship status, and interfaces with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for background screening. The system utilizes digital fingerprints to identify/eliminate individuals with criminal records from entering military service. USMIRS supports recruiting capabilities through electronic interfaces and data sharing, using standard Department of Defense (DoD) data elements with Recruiting Service systems (such as ARISS, AIE, DMDC, and DCSA etc.) In the event a military draft is required, USMIRS supports mobilization through electronic links with the Selective Service System (SSS) as well as automated support for conducting aptitude tests and medical examinations and administratively processing, inducting, and shipping SSS registrants. In FY 2021, USMEPCOM launched the USMIRS 1.1 Minimal Viable Product (MVP). The MVP modernizes and expands the core functionality of USMIRS and migrates it to the cloud. The resulting system is automated, scalable, and secure. Further investment in the system is planned through FY 2035 to continue development of additional applications (to include a link to the Military Health System GENESIS (MHS GENESIS)), integrated analytics, predictive analytics (machine learning and power business intelligence), and data quality. FY 2026 Base dollars in the amount of $10.563 million will fund ongoing incremental modernization of the United States Military Entrance Processing Command Integrated Resource System (USMIRS), including legacy application upgrades, data transformation, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration.

Mission — Army Business System Modernization Initiatives source

Army Business System Modernization Initiatives include: 1. Enterprise Business Systems-Convergence (EBS-C): SAP announced that the current application, Enterprise Central Component (ECC), would not be maintained after 2027 and customers will be required to upgrade to their new version SAP S/4 HANA. In response to this notification, the Army conducted studies in 2019/2020 by the Business Enterprise IT Leaders Group chaired by the Office of Business Transformation. Based on the results of these studies and direction from the Under Secretary of the Army, EBS-C is executing a strategic approach to modernize the Army business system landscape; align modern combat and combat support system capabilities with existing modernization efforts to enable Army force dominance during multi-domain large-scale combat operations in contested logistics environments; and improve overall Army financial operations resulting in improved financial management and successful audit outcomes. The Army is working EBS-C requirements to improve process agility and cross process integration; provide consistent user experiences with an intuitive user interface; and improve data integrity and security. At the enterprise level, EBS-C seeks to integrate financial and logistics processes and create opportunities to decrease overall Defense Business Systems (DBS) redundancies and duplications existing in the Army portfolio. The in-scope DBS for this effort includes General Funds Enterprise Business Systems (GFEBS) and GFEBS-Sensitive Activities (SA), Logistics Management Program (LMP), Global Combat Support System (GCSS)-Army, Army Enterprise System Integration Program (AESIP) Hub, and numerous non-ERP systems performing needed logistics and financial functions. FY 2026 base dollars in the amount of $64.905 million will enable the development of the EBS-C solution and the establishment of the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (Cl/CD) pipeline. The development will continue based on the Minimum Viable Capability Release in FY 2025 deployed to the EBS-C solution in FedRAMP compliant government provided cloud environments utilizing proven agile methodology. 2. Global Force Information Management (GFIM) is an automated, integrated, and interoperable digital environment that enables the Army's Deploy to Redeploy/Retrograde (D2RR) end-to-end business processes in support of Dynamic Force Employment (DFE). The GFIM system will provide the core Global Force Management-Data Initiative (GFM-DI) compliant data necessary for ERP systems, Business Mission Area (BMA) systems, and Warfighting Mission Area (WMA) systems to execute business processes efficiently and effectively in support of Army warfighting operations and Title 10 responsibilities. Today, over 85% of these core Army Business Processes are accomplished manually or with tools that are end-of-life, do not meet current Cybersecurity/Technology requirements, and are hosted on disparate technology platforms that are unable to be integrated. GFIM will provide an integrated planning, programming, and production capability to dynamically develop, design, and document an Army at rest and an Army in motion. GFIM will evolve both long-term and immediate bridging solutions that integrate and automate Army operational business processes. The GFIM components will provide the Army with a functional and integrated transactional platform that creates and develops the requisite force structure, deployment, redeployment, retrograde, and readiness data needed to man, equip, train, ready, and resource the force and feed the Army's ERPs and Non-ERPs in support of multi-domain operations. The result will be an interoperable, collaborative environment to enable the seamless creation and exchange of authoritative data across the operational community of practice to provide rapid, accurate, and auditable outcomes that will support risk-informed senior leader decisions. FY 2026 RDTE funding in the amount of $12.834 million will be used to continue development of the GFIM Objective Environment (OE) to provide an automated global force management solution for the Army's Deploy to Redeploy and Retrograde (D2RR) business process. The GFIM capability will deliver an enterprise solution that will more efficiently and effectively align and prepare forces and infrastructure, conduct mobilization, deployment, and employment activities, as well as re-deployment and demobilization activities. 3. Installations, Energy, and the Environment (IEE) EBS BUILDER and PAVER DoD requires a standardized, auditable, process for facility condition assessments and the calculation of deferred maintenance. The DoD uses the Sustainment Management System (SMS) to conduct real property condition assessments, identify work requirements, and report on real property asset conditions. SMS provides a consistent baseline for condition assessment of all assets across DoD. This effort develops interfaces with EBS-C within the Army's Enterprise Business System Multi-Functional Capabilities Team (EBS-MFCT) for IEE domain related to construction and real property. This effort develops and integrates modules for buildings (BUILDER) and pavement (PAVER) to modernize and consolidate these modules so that installations can manage all assets in a single enterprise system called Enterprise SMS (ESMS). The Enterprise Sustainment Management System (ESMS) Web Application is a cloud-based solution, bringing all real property infrastructure domains under the umbrella of a single SMS application. Performing long-range work requirements projections across all SMS domains allows for a comprehensive analysis of various courses of action and the related effects and tradeoffs of each decision. In addition to the incorporation of all SMS domains in a single application. The ESMS application provides increased control of user permission definition, teaming, and how permissions me applied; updated business intelligence reporting capabilities; and improved user experience, leveraging state of the art web development techniques for more efficient use from beginning to end. ESMS helps all real property asset management stakeholders - from civil engineers, technicians and managers to headquarters - decide when, where and how to best maintain existing infrastructure. Because assets are so vast and diverse, a "knowledge-based" philosophy drives the SMS process. FY 2026 Base dollars in the amount of $1.455 million will continue development of ESMS to optimize assessments for Pavement, Utilities, Rails, and other facility types. 4.The Army Vantage Program is a data integration and visualization platform that enables the Army to "see itself" by providing Senior Leaders, Soldiers, Staff, and analytic communities with a common, integrated data platform to visualize and analyze the current and predicted future state(s) of the Army. It spans all data domains, powers a set of configurable views, and provides tools for making data-driven decisions at every level of the Army. The features and advantages of the platform allow the Army to (1) see itself clearly through its data, (2) meet its strategic modernization objectives, and (3) rapidly realize ROI. FY 2026 Base dollars in the amount of $2.925 million will continue effort(s) to mitigate risk with enterprise data platform migration, pilot an open architecture universal data connection adapter to broker data with legacy systems, and further support the Army CIOs Application Programming Interface (API) layer enabling the enterprise data mesh construct. Additionally, investigate and test new technologies to be incorporated into Army Vantage to align with Army's Digital Modernization efforts. 5. Army Energy and Water Reporting System (AEWRS) is used to collect rollups of energy/water usage and program management at Army installations. AEWRS is the Army's official database of record for all energy and water usage data, and energy program management information. It provides the basis for documenting Army progress in meeting statutory and mandated performance metrics. Data is passed other systems and to DOD to be joined by similar energy and water data from the other services. AEWRS incorporated as a module the Solid Waste Annual Reporting for the Web (SWARWeb) which is the Army's official database of record for solid waste management and recycling data at the Installation, Subordinate Command, Major Command, Region and Army levels. Data is collected for disposal sites, disposal and recycling transactions, recycling revenues and recycling program management. Solid waste data collected throughout the fiscal year is submitted to higher command levels to fulfill reporting requirements and to track compliance with DoD waste reduction/recycling goals. FY 2026 Base dollars in the amount of $0.868 million will continue to modernize application software for the AEWRS from earlier software to improve its risk management posture, as well as providing additional mandated reporting capabilities required by revised statutes and federal/DoD policies. 6. The Enterprise Exceptional Family Member Program (E-EFMP) System streamlines enrollment, provides transparency, and synchronizes assignment coordination and Family support access, as the official EFMP system of record. E-EFMP supports Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve Soldiers. E-EFMP supports integration of data for the Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG), Medical Command (MEDCOM), Human Resource Command (HRC), Installation Management Command (IMCOM), and connects to Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) and Integrated Personnel and Pay System - Army (IPPS-A).

Army Records Information Management System (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 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.

Mission — Information Systems for Installations source

The Virtual Toolbox for Installation Mission Effectiveness (VTIME) is the Army's real-time planned installation common operating picture, analysis, visualization and planning tool. It serves as an integrating and processing hub for numerous Army Installation Modernization technologies supporting users across echelons. VTIME will support the Army installation enterprise with a near real-time common operating picture of data spanning functional areas and offer a modern analytic platform to support Army implementation of the Army Installations Strategy, Army Data Strategy, and Army Business Management Plan. VTIME has been prototyped as a hybrid cloud solution, being planned and prototyped to adapt commercially available technologies to integrate and understand diverse installation data sources and improve installation planning and operations. VTIME provides a novel capability able to apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve strategic, operational, and tactical installation decision-making, spanning functions such as facility investment planning, space and land assignment, master planning, and Garrison operations. VTIME is designed for hybrid-cloud implementations, to offer installations the ability to support operations under network-contested conditions. This integrated and comprehensive prototype can allow the senior commander to both maneuver in a complex battlespace by providing the ability to prevent, protect and recover from hazards and enable cost saving through improved decision-making and operational efficiencies, supporting future integrations of emerging installation operations modernizing technologies. Work is performed by the United States Army Engineer Research and Development Center. Work in this Project is related to, and fully coordinated with, PE 0605013A (Information Technology Development) and Project T05 (Army Business System Modernization Initiatives). Work in this Project supports the Army Installations Strategy as a critical enabler (data analytics) for modernization. Work in this Project complements the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations, Energy & Environment)'s Installation Modernization Pilot Program (AIMP2). FY 2026 Base dollars in the amount of $1.625 million will fund the migration of the cloud Virtual Toolbox for Installation for Mission Effectiveness (VTIME) components to cArmy, hardening and authorization of the Integrated Installation Planning (VIIP) initial operating capability and data interface agreements. Funds will complete design and partial integration of VTIME real-time decision-support solutions with production systems at Fort Benning. Funds will support acquisition planning activities for VTIME scaling to Army wide implementation.

Mission — Installation Support Modules source

This project supports the U.S. Army Coalition Interoperability Assurance and Validation (CIAV) Research Network. CIAV provides an enduring and agile capability to execute approved processes. The project provides a repeatable and persistent infrastructure within the assurance and validation Coalition partner environment designed to ensure the succinct exchange of critical mission data between Mission Partners throughout all phases of military operations. It also enables the Army's implementation of Mission Partner Environment (MPE) and Combined-Joint All Domain Command and Control. CIAV uses a mission-based interoperability approach to identify capabilities, limitations and associated operational impacts and provides recommendations to improve or resolve information exchange issues between the U.S. Army and its mission partners. Funding facilitates coalition interoperability information exchange issue in compliance with AR 34-1 Multinational Force Interoperability and DODI 8110.01, MPE Information Sharing Capability Implementation for the DOD. FY 2026 Base dollars in the amount of $0.629 million will fund comprehensive analysis of mission-based interoperability effectiveness, ensuring alignment with validated operational and technical requirements. Execute risk reduction events, mission network test cases, multinational interoperability assessments, and battle command system evaluations and support Coalition Interoperability Assessment and Validation (CIAV) testing with 22 nations connected to the CIAV test network.
