GRAFENWOEHR, Germany - Starting Oct. 1, Soldiers in Europe can schedule their official DA Photography appointments online, as directed by Headquarters, Department of the Army.

The new, web-based Visual Information Ordering Site, www.vios.army.mil, allows Soldiers to schedule DA Photos, location photography, graphic and video production, presentation support services, media and equipment loan electronically.

Area Training Support Centers have enabled VIOS, www.vios.army.mil, and the online appointment calendar, to streamline the scheduling process by automatically de-conflicting the Soldiers requested appointment, and submitting the work order online, eliminating the need to call the local TSC to submit a manual work order on DA Form 3903.

The VIOS software application requires Common Access Card authentication, and allows more efficient work-order tracking and provides Soldiers the ability to schedule an appointment anywhere, at anytime, when they have access to a military computer.

For more information on accessing VIOS, www.vios.army.mil, contact your local TSC by calling your DSN prefix and -1398, or by contacting the Joint Multinational Training Command's (JMTC's) Visual Information Manager at DSN (314) 475-6558.

The JMTC's Training Support Activity Europe (TSAE) identifies, acquires, manages, and sustains training resources to support all echelons of training throughout Europe. TSAE is geographically dispersed throughout Europe at Regional and Training Support Centers at 18 cities and six countries.
