Classification

Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System (DCIPS) formerly known as the Civilian Intelligence Personnel Management System (CIPMS) is an excepted service personnel management system jointly managed by the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (ODCS, G-1) and the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ODCS, G-2). Existing CIPMS policies and system flexibilities will continue to apply until such time as they are replaced by DCIPS regulations and related guidance, which will occur incrementally. Until all references can be updated the terms CIPMS and DCIPS will be used interchangeably.
