We all know that NCOs are the foundation of our Army, vital to mission success and unit cohesion. But, the transition from Soldier to leader is not always easy. It is essential for new NCOs to embrace the necessary mindset shift, and CAL’s new LPD kit: “Direct Leadership: Transitioning from Team Player to Team Leader” provides the tools to help make that evolution seamless. Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments!

HOT! AEAS shutting down permanently on 3 DEC 2025

In accordance with direction from the Army Chief Information Officer, the Army Enterprise Assessment System (AEAS) will shut down permanently on 3 DEC 2025. Below are details on what to expect in the coming months.

Assessment access will close 1 OCT 2025. On this date, all common tokens will expire, and system administrators will close access to all assessments, including both self-initiated and multisource events (e.g., Athena Assessments, Leader 360, Leader 180, Commander 360, etc.). Users must complete all assessments before this date to receive their self-development feedback.

Feedback reports will be unavailable starting 3 DEC 2025. On this date, users will no longer be able to log in and retrieve their feedback reports. Users must download all feedback reports before this date. Instructions on how to download feedback reports are available here, https://aeas.army.mil/info/PrintingGuide.aspx.

We encourage those with assessments in progress to complete their assessments and archive feedback reports before AEAS is permanently shut down.

We remain available to answer your questions, [email protected]. The AEAS helpdesk is available to provide technical support, [email protected]. Reach out with any questions.

We look forward to continuing our relationship with all of you as we work to strengthen the profession and develop Army leaders.
