  REGIONAL LEVEL APPLICATION SOFTWARE
  A-28. The Regional Level Application Software is a client-server web-enabled application used by the USAR
  for management of personnel and resources. It shows overall readiness posture of the unit by Soldier, and
  generates TAPDB-Reserves transactions and electronically transmits the data to the HRC.
  RESERVE COMPONENT AUTOMATION SYSTEM
  A-29. The Reserve Component Automation System is an automated information system that supports
  commanders, staff, and functional managers in mobilization, planning, and administration of the Army’s RC
  forces. It is primarily an ARNG system, but the USAR uses some mobilization modules. The system is a
  web-based information system providing visibility of personnel management data, tools for retirement points
  accounting, and mobilization planning. Unit-level personnel can view all data for Soldiers assigned. Key
  points to remember include–
  * To use the Reserve Component Automation System, users must have an account and one or more
  profiles containing application specific user roles.
  * The S-1 should contact the nearest USAR and ARNG representative for clarity or for specific
  information on actions affecting ARNG personnel.
  RESERVE COMPONENT LINE OF DUTY MODULE
  A-30. The Reserve Component LOD Module provides a web accessible comprehensive, user-friendly tool
  for use at units, Joint Force HQ, readiness divisions, U.S. Army Reserve Command, National Guard Bureau,
  and CMAOD to administer and manage LOD determinations, incapacitation pay, medical care, and safety
  programs. The Reserve Component LOD Module helps the user organize the materials needed to complete
  the electronic DA Form 2173 (Statement of Medical Examination and Duty Status) or DD Form 261 (Report
  of Investigation Line of Duty and Misconduct Status), transfer forms electronically to the next step, and track
  LOD investigation actions. Information available via the Medical Operating Data System pre-populates data
  fields where appropriate. Improved security occurs with the digital signature of specified data elements using
  a CAC.
  RESERVE COMPONENT MANPOWER SYSTEM
  A-31. The Reserve Component Manpower System provides HR professionals at all levels, to include HQDA
  G-1, with a suite of products to support Army Reserve G-1 strength readiness, strength management, and

  Duty Obligor with tools for retirement point accounting mandated by Title 10, U.S. Code and DODI 1215.07,
  Service Credit for Non-Regular Retirement. The system generates a retirement point statement for current
  members and USAR units to review annually. The Retirement Point Accounting System records and
  maintains retirement points earned by a Ready Reserve Soldier during his or her career for a non-regular
  retirement and 1405 time for a regular retirement. The system also maintains grade advancement and survivor
  benefit information for the certification of non-regular-retired pay.

  with its web-based interface, allows users’ real-time access via the Internet from any location worldwide.
