Official Department of the Army Publications and Forms

Official Department of Army (DA) publications and forms are managed by the Army Publishing Directorate (APD) under the direction of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army (AASA). The Army uses the latest publishing technologies to produce high-quality, enhanced, electronic publications and forms. This is the latest collection of electronic Army publications and DA forms.

Army transitions to Vista Operating System In response to the Army transitioning to Microsoft Vista Operating System, Lotus Forms Viewer 3.5 along with the latest version of ApproveIt digital signature software (v. 6.1), will provide a solution to the compatibility issues brought on by Vista, using PureEdge Viewer 6.5 and Silanis ApproveIt 5.9. Although this migration will provide a solution for Vista users, it will not impact those using Windows XP. This does not introduce further compatibility issues with PureEdge Viewer 6.5 and ApproveIt 5.9 on the XP platform conducting business with Lotus Forms Viewer 3.5 and ApproveIt 6.1 users on Vista platform, and vice versa. The Army Gold Master (AGM July 2009 release) provided the Lotus Forms Viewer 3.5 software for the entire Army. However, the release of ApproveIt digital signature software (v. 6.1) has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. At present, there is no ETA as to when ApproveIt will be available on the AGM. We apologize for any inconvenience to Army users and are working this effort as a top priority. For updates on this effort please contact APDFCMP@conus.army.mil.
