By: FEDweek StaffSoldiers can now use their CAC cards to log into the service’s newly established Google Workspace account. With it, soldiers who don’t need the full spectrum of information-sharing provided by Army365 can nevertheless find comrades, schedule meetings and coordinate other activities.
“All new entrants to the Army will be provisioned automatically with a Google Workspace account with a new email address … when they receive their CAC card,” Raj Iyer, the service’s chief information officer, said in a social-media post.
“Soldiers will retain their Google account till they fully transition to their first unit after completion of basic training and AIT [advanced infantry training], at which point their commanders will determine if they need an Army365 account.”
The directive applies to all active-duty, reserve and National Guard soldiers.
