Army mission and strategic goalThe mission of the Army is to fight and win the Nation’s wars through prompt and sustained land combat, as part of theJoint force. This is accomplished by organizing, equipping, and training Army Forces for prompt and sustained combatincident to operations on land, integrating our capabilities with those of the other Armed Services, accomplishing all missions assigned by the President, Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders, remaining ready while preparing forthe future.

Army Civilians stand in support of our Soldiers’mission accomplishment and deploy with them across the globe. The Army could not function without a cadre of ArmyCivilian employees who have the passion and dedication to use their unmatched expertise to support and sustain Soldiersand their Families.1–6. Civilian Workforce VisionThis vision is an adaptive and flexible Army Civilian capabilities-based cohort supported by integrated policies, proceduresand programs that produce and deliver the right person, to the right place, at the right time, to support current missions andenable Army 2025 and beyond. An enabler of this vision is the Army Career Program Proponency (CPP) enterprise. Themission of the Army CPP enterprise is to provide a system to realize the full talent of each Army Civilian.1–7. Army Career Program ProponencyThe Army CPP provides structured plans, processes, and activities directing and supporting the systematic organizational,occupational, and individual growth of Army Civilians in designated career programs throughout the civilian human capitallife cycle. It entails progression through a series of training, education, and professional development (TE&PD) programsand assignments involving broader knowledge, improved skills, and/or greater responsibility. An essential cornerstone toCPP is Strategic Human Capital Planning (SHCP). SHCP provides a prescriptive methodology to assess the current stateof the workforce, identify skill and competency gaps and strengths, and forecast emerging and future workforce requirements, including those of an expeditionary nature, as part of Total Army planning. The CPP provides each Army Civilianwith the capability to define career goals by identifying career developmental paths and competency-based training plans.AR 690–950 16 November 20161

Compares the current competency level requirements to the current proficiency levels to determine current competency gaps and gap closure methodologies.f. Identifies career paths in order to provide a competency-based career map for Army Civilians to enhance their careerplanning and development.1–9. Army civilian career program management conceptThe Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) (ASA (M&RA)) is the lead proponent for ArmyCivilian career program management and assigns staff proponency to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (CivilianPersonnel) (DASA (CP)).a. The Career Program Policy Committee.

The CPPC forwards policy recommendations through DASA (CP)for the ASA (M&RA) concurrence and coordination with the appropriate Army Staff. All CPPC recommendations willconsider policy implications, impact if not adopted, general resource requirements, and general priority in relationship toother Army initiatives. The CPPC ensures the CPP can sustain the requisite readiness of the Army Civilian Corps.(1) Primary CPPC membership consists of all career programs represented by its functional chief (FC) or their designated representative. All CPPC primary members are voting members.(2) Advisory CPPC membership consists of the Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff (ADCS), G–3/5/7 Director of Training,and the command G1/human resources directors from the U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM); the U.S. ArmyTraining and Doctrine Command (TRADOC); the U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC); the U.S. Army InstallationManagement Command (IMCOM); the U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM); the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers(USACE); and the Director, Civilian Human Resources Agency (CHRA). Advisory CPPC members are nonvoting members.(3) The CPPC chair may invite Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) and Joint general officers or seniorexecutives to attend.(4) The CPPC meets at least twice annually with a spring CPPC and a fall CPPC.(5) Travel and per diem costs associated with CPPC are the responsibility of the home station organization of the attendee.b. Working groups. The CPPC chair may establish working groups (WGs) to support the CPPC or other special CPPenterprise initiatives. Each WG assists the CPPC to accomplish its responsibilities and will forward appropriate issuesfrom its area of interest to the CPPC.(1) The CPPC recommends the WG composition and size to the DASA (CP) for approval. The WG composition willvary and may include career program and command representatives.(2) DASA (CP) provides guidance to each WG.(3) DASA (CP) Civilian Career Proponency Division (CCPD) chairs each WG and may invite subject matter experts,as needed.2AR 690–950 16 November 2016
