What is the U.S. Army's CORE system?
CORE is a web-based content management system that specializes in indexing, packaging and publishing content created and submitted by Army public affairs personnel.
Content sharing made easy
CORE allows users to submit content, assemble it the way they want, and publish it to publicly accessible Web pages. By widening the user base and distributing control, The CORE is breaking new ground in collaboration within the Army.
Am I eligible for a CORE account?
Any 46Q/46R/46Z or 46A Soldier, 1035- or 1082-series DA civilian or contractor serving in a Public Affairs capacity, is eligible to set up a CORE account. However, in order to release content to the rest of the Army.mil community, you must be a Public Affairs professional who has graduated from the Defense Information School (DINFOS), and have release authority for your command or organization.
CORE account regulations
All CORE publishers will ensure the people within their commands who publish/release content on Army.mil are current on their annual Operational Security training, per AR 530-1. This will be PAO/OPSEC training specific to people whose duties include operating or maintaining Army.mil sites. Go to https://iatraining.us.army.mil/index.html for more information about the training.
Get the look
Maintaining a consistent look and feel between different sites within an organization is vital for effective communication on the Internet. CORE-published Web pages carry a look and feel that reflects that seen across Army.mil. To consistently brand other Army Web pages that you may build independent of the CORE, download templates, banners, and our branding toolkit here: www.army.mil/create.
