and exams that lead to industry-recognized academic or vocational
credentials in an occupational area of your choice. You may use this
program to enhance your skills, either in your current MOS, or in an
occupation you would like to pursue when you leave military service.
Credentialing Assistance funding can be requested for any credential listed
in Army COOL (www.cool.army.mil).

The specific processes to apply for and receive CA funding have been tested
at Fort Hood, TX and Fort Campbell, KY in a Limited User Test (LUT) for
Regular Army Soldiers at those posts and for Soldiers in the National Guard
and Army Reserve throughout Texas and Kentucky. Now, with the successful
