a six character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies each department of defense

indicate parent unit designator (I.e.: alphabetic indicates MTOE units) and the last 2 are
the descriptive designator (i.e.: AO = Alpha company)
Department Security Tree - ANS-organizational hierarchy for administrative Control
the security structure controlling system permissions. a department is a node on this. if
a user has access to a specific nod, they will also have access to the node below it in
the tree structure
Dual Persona User - ANS-members who have 2 CACs.
a user that is current army national guard or army reserve soldier and is also either a
government civilian or contractor with a POI record. these users will need an additional
record as a POI within IPPS-A in order to separate both their job status and functions
within IPPS-A
Dual Role User - ANS-a user who is an army national guard or Army reserve member
with 2 job functions, and one CAC.
they will need their roles separated by their job function when they login to IPPS-A
