Army Criteria Tracking System (ACTS)

The ACTS provides a single source of the facility planning criteria at the Category Code level used in the Army legacy facility planning systems, Facility Planning System (FPS), and Real Property Planning and Analysis System (RPLANS). Algorithms are used to apply space-planning criteria to the Facility Category Group (FCG) level.

The application creates a reference library of Army facility planning criteria that is readily accessible by facility planners throughout the Service.

Army Energy and Water Reporting System (AEWRS)

AEWRS is an automated energy management system that collects utility cost and consumption, electricity, heating fuels and water data for active Army, Reserve and National Guard installations to fulfill the DOD and Congressional requirements (Section 2865 of title 10, United States Code; Executive order 13123, Greening of the Government through Efficient Energy Management and the Energy Policy Act of 2005). AEWRS supports DA and DOD energy reporting requirements. It also provides management and analysis data to Installations, Command, Regions and HQDA/IMA managers. AEWRS supports DA and DOD energy reporting requirements. It also provides management and analysis data to Installations, Command, Regions and HQDA/IMA managers.

Army Stationing and Installation Plan(ASIP)

The Army Stationing and Installation Plan is the official Army database of populations on Army installations worldwide. It is based on the Structure and Manpower Allocation System (SAMAS) and The Army Authorization Document System (TAADS) as well as many other official Army data sources. The ASIP is a baseline for installation planning that provides a consistent look at forces to be supported and provides visibility of potential planning issues. ASIP data is a basis for Military Construction (MILCON), Installation Status Report (ISR) data collection, Base Operations (BASOPS) Service requirements, and is used by the Army Staff as the database of record for installation demographics. The proponent for the ASIP is the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (ACSIM). Authority for the ASIP is AR 5-18.

The ASIP Web-Application

This ASIP Web-Application allows an authorized user to query the latest official ASIP data. Users can access ASIP information by query or drilling down either by Installation Management Command (IMCOM) Regions, Army National Guard (ARNG) States, or geographically. The ASIP Web-Application provides access to historical ASIP data going back to FY 1993. Standard Reports, Custom Reports, and data export tools are also available. Finally, the ASIP Web-Application allows IMCOM and ARNG Installation Managers to edit and update tenant information. These updates are subjected to review and approval via the Web-Application by HQ NGB, HQ IMCOM, and the OACSIM.

Army Installation Geographic Information & Services (IGI&S)

The Army Installation Geographic Information & Services (IGI&S) program office ensures the availability of the Army installation geospatial data infrastructure by providing policy guidance, program management, geospatial information technology, data and services that support the overall management and resourcing of Army installations worldwide and the mission of the Army.

Headquarters Installation Information System (HQIIS)

In order to complete the mission of providing policy guidance and program management on all matters relating to overall management and resourcing of Army installations worldwide, the Headquarters Installation Information System (HQIIS) enables the OACSIM community to ensure the availability of efficient, effective base services and facilities.

Integrated Facilities System (IFS)

The Integrated Facilities System (IFS) is a Department of the Army approved Standard Army Management Information System (STAMIS) that has supported the DPW community since 1976. The IFS customer base consists of more than 100 Army installations worldwide, DLA installations and 16 Army Reserve Centers. IFS addresses the DPW business functions of Real Property, Work Management, Job Cost Accounting, Work Estimating, Supply and Contract Administration. In addition, the system provides automated interfaces with other major Army STAMIS and engineering systems (STANFINS, DCD, DPAS, DJAS, and EIS among others).

The system has matured over the years going from its original batch processing/mainframe mode (IFS-1), to a remote processing mode (VIABLE), to a mini /micro mode (IFS-M), to a network client server (IFS-C/S) mode and currently to a thin-client architecture model.

While IFS is basically an installation business system, it provides upward reporting of common business and performance information to MACOM and DA levels. The Office of the Army Chief of Staff for Installation Management (OACSIM) is the proponent for the IFS system.

Installation Status Report (ISR)

The ISR application is designed to provide Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) leadership, MACOMs, and reporting staffs with information related to an installation’s permanent/semi-permanent real property, major environmental programs, and major service activities. This information is compared to valid and reliable benchmarks for executive level decision-making purposes.

The ISR application provides an analysis process to compare and contrast conditions on the installation as well as the MSC, MACOM, and Army levels. It creates is the commander’s annual report; developed, reviewed, and approved at installation level; and then forwarded to higher headquarters. Through ISR, each installation’s conditions and performance are assessed against Army-wide standards in three areas: Infrastructure, Environment, and Services. The data is consolidated, reviewed, and approved at the MACOM level, and then is forwarded to DA. At DA level, the data is reviewed, consolidated, and used in decision support.

Real Property Planning and Analysis System (RPLANS)

RPLANS is an automated planning system that consists of three major views, or components, designed to meet the need of users at installation, major command (MACOM), and HQDA levels.

The application provides more than 150 different reports, most of which require one or more user selections to determine the particular subset of data included in the report. RPLANS Suite reports can be saved in various formats including Microsoft Excel. The system provides the ability to input and approve a variety of edits.

The RPLANS Suite calculates facility allowances and requirements for Army organizations; and provides a method for combining its facility allowance and requirement data with information from ASIP, ATRRS, HQEIS, IFS, RDS, TAADS and other existing databases to allow graphical and tabular displays for multiple levels and fiscal years. Users do not have to know Structured Query Language (SQL) or have specialized computer skills. In order to access the various modules, users must download a client to their local machine via the RPLANS Suite Web Support module.
