The My Army Post app is a user-focused tool designed to assist Soldiers, Army families, and garrison teams. The app makes navigating Army life easier with centralized access to on-garrison resources and information that will make life easier for Soldiers and their families. A great feature is users can choose what installation to get accurate information about. This is helpful during PCS season and when personnel are TDY to another Army post.

The app was launched at the behest of the Chief of Staff of the Army, who in 2023 requested the Army Software Factory execute a proof-of-concept. Several installations conducted usability testing and provided feedback to the developers.

After a successful pilot, Army leaders coalesced to empower the Army Materiel Command (AMC) to take on the MAPA mission. AMC oversees the Communications Electronics Command Software Engineering Center (CECOM SEC) that leads the MAPA technical support. Installation Management Command provides the majority of the garrison resources and information content for the app.

The team at Fort Detrick focused their efforts on building content for the app so our community can benefit from the platform.

The search capability helps users quickly find what they need and bookmark their favorites, allowing only notifications from their bookmarked favorites, such as events or training cancellations.

Just download the app on your phone or tablet and select the installation you want to review. Navigate the user-friendly menu's and customize your experience by saving information for easy access later.

My Army Post replaces the previous (Digital Garrison) app, which is no longer supported.
