As the contracts management division chief for Integrated Personnel and Pay System – Army at PEO Enterprise, Allison Gregory is responsible for guiding acquisition strategies that support big-picture goals, making sure the right contracts are in place when they’re needed and ensuring software deliverables are high quality and mission ready.

Soldiers at Fort Campbell’s 3rd Mobile Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) experimented with the Battlefield Assisted Trauma Distributed Observation Kit-Joint (BATDOK-J) application during a 21-day Soldier Touchpoint that started March 18. Soldiers assessed how BATDOK-J integrates with the Army’s Health Assessment Lite Operations (HALO) electronic health record under realistic, operational environments.  ​

For Sabrina Simpson, every day is an opportunity to combine her love of numbers with her passion for supporting Soldiers.

As U.S. Army Program Executive Office (PEO) Enterprise strives to enhance the speed and efficiency of its Agile software development practices, the acquisition organization’s Lean Agile Center of Excellence (LACE) is supporting the PEO’s portfolio of programs with a consistent set of metrics. 

Maj. Ryan Nehus, an assistant product manager in the Integrated Personnel and Pay System –Army (IPPS-A) Increment II portfolio, is excited to start developing a new military payroll system for the Army.

"When I joined IPPS-A eight months ago, we were figuring out how to start building in Agile," said Cpt. Chad Bell, an Agile Release Train (ART) leader supporting the Integrated Personnel and Pay System – Army (IPPS-A) Increment II program. "Now, it’s a muscle memory. The ART teams know — two-week increments and demo. They know we all are going to plan and collaborate to figure out what we are going to work on."

With nearly a quarter of a century of service to the U.S. Army, the Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care (MC4) product office — part of Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) — is considered an old-timer in the acquisition world. Around five years ago, following deep-dive discussions among Army senior leaders, the decision was made to retire the program.

PEO EIS held a Sept. 30 change of charter ceremony for its Integrated Personnel and Pay System – Army (IPPS-A) Project Management Office, marking the send-off of outgoing Project Manager Col. Rob Williams and the return of Col. Robert (RJ) Mikesh to the EIS team.
