Army Approves Recognition of Professional Logistician Certification

Effective 15 April 2004, Army officers/warrant officers in any branch/specialty that have been awarded the designation "Certified Professional Logistician" (CPL) by SOLE - The International Society of Logistics (SOLE) are authorized to add their CPL certification to their Officer Record Brief (ORB) and Official Military Personnel Folder (OMPF). This change to AR 600-8-104 (Military Personnel Information Management/Records) authorizes the inclusion of the CPL certificate in the OMPF. The CPL joins, among others, the Certified Professional Engineer (CPE), the Certified Professional Accountant (CPA) and the Certified Professional Contract Manager (CPCM) as civilian-granted professional certifications authorized for documentation and recognition as specialized education and training. The CPL certification will be reflected in "Section X - Remarks" on the lower left portion of the ORB. Army National Guard (ARNG) CPLs can submit their documentation now to their State Military Personnel Officers. All Army/Army Reserve CPLs can submit their documentation following one of the procedures below:

1. Submit a notarized copy of the SOLE CPL certificate to your Assignment Officer at:

For Active Army:

US Army Human Resources Command
ATTN: AHRC-OPC (your branch)
200 Stovall Street
Alexandria, VA 22332

ATTN: ARPC-ARO-R (for AGR; or ARPC-CIS-PV (for IRR/TPU/IMA)

2. For Active Army only: Scan and email a copy of the certificate to your Assignment Officer. Addresses can be found on the HRC website at www.perscom.army.mil/opmd/Branch%20Homepages.htm.

For both procedures, include your name and Social Security Number on the side corner of the copy of the certificate. Include a note indicating your name and Social Security Number and that you want it added to your OMPF. Your assignment officer will update your ORB, then send the certificate to Personnel Electronic Records Management System (PERMS) to add it to your OMPF.

Questions regarding the Active/Reserve ORB/OMPF procedures should be directed to MAJ James Kennedy (OD), XO CSSD at 703-325-5262 or kennedj0@hoffman.army.mil. ARNG questions should be directed to the respective State Military Personnel Office.
