The Delegation of Authority Matrix

The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower and Reserve Affairs) and the AG-1 Civilian Personnel worked together to develop a revised delegation matrix that identifies 36 delegation of authorities, references, special instructions and, if appropriate, reporting requirements. The matrix is a living document and will be updated each time a new delegation is issued or a current delegation is superseded.

The most recent matrix is available below.
