ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md.—The MyArmyPost app recently went live for the Aberdeen Proving Ground community, allowing users to check gate information, organize appointments on base, and stay updated with operating hours at APG establishments.

MAPA is a new lifestyle application built by the Army Software Factory, a subordinate command of Army Futures Command, with support from U.S. Army Installation Management Command. MAPA is available on the Google and Apple app stores and offers real-time installation information to soldiers, families, civilians, contractors, and retirees. In addition to including post-wide information like events and air quality, users can log appointment times and personal items, creating a tailored experience for users.

The launch of MAPA at APG is significant for a few reasons. Aside from a helpful tool for the community, the app has significant support from the Communications-Electronics Command Software Engineering Center. CECOM SEC took technical lead in transitioning the app onto mobile app stores and will continue to provide technical support. MAPA was CECOM SEC’s debut into mobile app support, and as an Army-wide app, CECOM SEC will have a far-reaching impact as the app grows and is launched on other installations.
