New Army personnel system working as expected
Let’s be clear about this…”working as expected” if you’ve spent maybe 50 years watching how ‘well’ Army personnel systems work. Working well from an objective, “gets the job done efficiently and well in a timely manner version of ‘well’?” Uh, no, not so much.

Twitter + Pentagon = Information Ops
