The Secretary Of The Army directs Active Component (Ac) units and officers to participate in the Army Talent Alignment Process (ATAP) via the Assignment Interactive Module 2.0 (AIM2). The Army is moving from an Officer Distribution System to an Officer Alignment Process that incorporates Talent Management Principles.
The ATAP employs a regulated talent marketplace to improve the alignment of officer knowledge, skills, behaviors, and preferences (KSB-P) with unit requirements. Effective 5 August 2019, all AC Officer Assignments will be executed through the ATAP (aligning units’ requirements with officers’ KSBs).
Units representatives must obtain access to AIM via their HRC Account Manager in our to obtain access to unit requirements in AIM 2.
