The one-week Action Officer Integration Course (AOIC) prepares military and civilian personnel to serve as action officers at the Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) level. The course familiarizes students with the organization and functions of HQDA, Title 10 United States Code statutory responsibilities, Army processes, and staff products. AOIC challenges students to demonstrate the effective writing and communication skills required at HQDA.
AOIC provides HQDA action officers with a fundamental understanding of the organization of the Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) and the roles, missions, and functions of the Secretariat and the Army Staff. The course builds upon that understanding with an overview of several key HQDA level processes: Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE), Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS), Defense Acquisition System (DAS), and Force Management. AOIC addresses how action officers effectively develop, staff, and communicate information to decision makers and incorporates hands-on practical exercises to provide students with the opportunity to practice and improve their communication skills.
All students require an active Enterprise Task Management Software Solutions (ETMS2) Account (formerly "TMT"). If prospective students do not have an active ETMS2 Account, they must take the HQDA Basic ETMS2 online training. Students who are unable to establish an active ETMS2 account through their department or agency, due to a capacity limitation of the ETMS2 system, should use the link at the end to obtain a Certificate of Training. AFMS will establish a ETMS2 training account for in-class use. Return the Certificate of Training with your DOD ID# and office symbol, 10 days prior to the start of the class to the Admin team. Use the same POC indicated in your Welcome Letter and Enclosure. You can access HQDA beginners ETMS2 training using this link:https://www.milsuite.mil/university/tmttraining. Students must have access to ETMS2 to begin the class.
