The Army Civilian workforce has seen significant structural improvements with the establishment of the Army Civilian Career Management Activity (ACCMA). This pivotal change consolidates the previously dispersed 32 career programs, including elements from G-3/5/7 DAMO-TRV and AG-1CP, into a unified organization. This integration marks a significant step forward in managing and developing Army civilian careers, including those within key areas like Army Career Program 32, now understood within a broader framework.
Reporting directly to the Director of the Civilian Human Resources Agency (CHRA) and accountable to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civilian Personnel) (DASA(CP)), ACCMA is designed to streamline career management. The restructuring process has integrated the original 32 career programs into 11 overarching career fields. This includes the establishment of operations and plans offices alongside a centralized support office, all aimed at providing comprehensive career support.
Governance and strategic direction for these career management policies and resources are provided by the newly formed Civilian Career Management Council. This council is chaired by the DASA(CP) and includes the Functional Chiefs representing each of the 11 career fields. While the personnel from the former career programs are now part of CHRA, senior leaders from the Senior Executive Service continue to play vital leadership roles, ensuring the smooth integration and effective management of career functions within their respective functional areas.
