Halvik provides program and project management, business management division support, cost, budget and financial management, contract management division support, acquisition management, and technical support for the U.S. Army’s PEO EIS IPPS-A Program Management Office (PMO) (O-6 Headquarters) and Product Offices (O-5 PdM) Portfolio. IPPS-A is a multi-billion-dollar, multi-year Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) effort by the U.S. Army to modernize legacy systems. Halvik provides Business Management Division (BMD) and Contract Management Division (CMD) support services across the entire portfolio including IPPS-A Increment II, the Army Human Resources System (AHRS), Medical Communication for Combat Casualty Care (MC4), and the Reserve Component Automation System (RCAS)/Force Management System (FMS).

Halvik supports J55 involvement as the Future Planning Center (FPC) in NGB Adaptive Battle Staff model for crisis actions (major hurricanes, civil disturbance, pandemics, earthquakes). Our work includes supporting the Joint Exercise Working Group (JEWG) with NGB efforts to establish and maintain the Joint Mission Essential Task List. We enable training readiness for assigned missions and coordinate the yearly Joint Training Plan for joint training activities across the force structure. We plan training, rehearsals, exercises, and evaluations for NGB’s ability to accomplish assigned tasks and functions. We identify agency response plans strengths and weaknesses by observing the exercise, participating in IPRs, and exercising concept rehearsals. The NG’s exercise program is vital to the States’ preparation for responding effectively to crises. For example, our planners support the States’ developing COVID-19 response plans, including supply chain management and support for PPE and vaccine distribution.

Halvik provides senior mentorship and subject matter expertise for How the Army Runs (HTAR) program within the Army Force Management School (AFMS). AFMS provides force management education and training to Leaders, Soldiers, and Civilians Army-Wide and HTAR is designed to educate and train military and civilian Force Managers on how the Army runs in the current Operating Environment (OE). The four-week How the Army Runs (HTAR) teaches the roles, missions, and functions of the seven interdependent and continuous processes within the Army Force Management Model (e.g., strategy, joint capabilities integration and development system, defense acquisition system, structure, authorizations, personnel, and equipment), the nine Force Integration Functional Areas (e.g., structuring, manning, equipping, training, sustaining, funding, deploying, stationing, and readiness), and the requirements and acquisition processes that work together to produce trained and ready forces for the Combatant Commanders.
