Log in to CORE

NOTE: CORE uses EAMS-A for authentication to access the CMS, but our support team does not manage this service.
For questions regarding EAMS-A, you can contact the Army Enterprise Service Desk (AESD) at 1-866-335-2769.

CORE utilizes the Enterprise Access Management Service-Army (EAMS-A) authentication system, which manages access to secure Army sites by verifying a user’s identity and permissions. All personnel issued a Common Access Card (CAC) are automatically provisioned in the EAMS-A enterprise directory, giving them access to log in to CORE.

TIP: CORE no longer supports Internet Explorer. We recommend using a modern browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Edge.

NOTE: Although anyone with an account has access to log in, CORE is intended for 46Q/46R/46Z or 46A Soldiers, 1035- or 1082-series DA civilians or contractors serving in a Public Affairs capacity.

Whether you’re a new user trying to create an account or a more experienced member of the CORE community, you can log in to CORE using EAMS-A with just a few clicks.

From the CORE homepage, click the 'Log in with EAMS-A' button in the page banner. This will direct you to the EAMS-A Single Sign-On page.
