BOSS Decommission
Effective Q1 FY16, the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) program
area will be decommissioned in ACRRO. As of that time, BOSS Garrison program
information will only be entered in the BOSS Event Publisher tool. However, BOSS
Q4 FY15 Program information will be available in the Baseline Standards tool for
review through close of the Q4 FY15 reporting period.
Historical data from Q1 FY11 to Q4 FY15 will remain available from the BOSS
program area via the generate reports feature in ACRRO. Requests for data
outside this period will generate a blank report. For additional information,
please contact the G9 BOSS Program Staff.

be updated in FY16. The new calculation will take two variables into account –
Bather Load and Pool Square Footage. Behind the scenes, ACRRO will calculate
the authorization for each variable and automatically use the greater of the two.
The pool lane range options will also change for as follows:
Visit the ACRRO Help Page for
Baseline Standards Resource

Participation, etc., or send
questions and comments to the
Help Desk or to IMCOM G9.
