CP-32
- How does the new capper 1701 14/15 affect me?
- I don't understand why the GS-1701 and GS-1750 competencies are the same for grades 7/13.
- Since GS-1701-11/13 positions will be reclassified as either a 1750, 1712, or 1702 position when they are vacated, why are the 1750 competencies the only ones currently associated with these 1701 positions in CP-32 ACTEDS?
- Are all Combat and Doctrine Developer positions members of CP-32?
- What do I need to do to be qualified as a GS-1750?
- Recently I keep seeing 1703 included as a part of CP-32. What is this job series?
The biggest affect this change brings with it is the degree requirement. Any CP-32 careerist desiring to become a 14 or 15 will be required to have a degree.
In order to support the recognized need for civilian leaders that are multi-functional and adaptive, the GS-1701-14/15 will now be the "capper" for the GS-1700 and 301-T series. At this level, the Training Manager/Director will be able to perform across the spectrum of the CP-32 GS-1700 and 301-T series. These capper positions will be the Army's leading experts in the use of training capabilities, government and contractor resources to develop training approaches and modules, and the integration of training across doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leader development, personnel and facilities (DOTMLPF).
GS-1701-11/13 will slowly phase out of CP-32. Current employees holding these grade and job series will be "grandfathered", but once they leave, the positions will be reclassified to a 1750, 1712, or 1702 position, whichever is more appropriately aligned to the duties and responsibilities of the position.
During the development of the competencies, it was determined that the GS-1701 and GS-1750 duties overlapped. Bearing in my mind that there are exceptions, the majority of the GS-1701 11 through 13 positions are performing GS-1750 duties. Should you feel that greater than 50% of your duties are something other than GS-1750 related, consult your supervisor and/or ACPM for guidance on the appropriate functional competencies to use.
No. Only those positions that perform warfighting development type duties 50% or more of the time can be coded as CP-32. Based on this criteria and your job description, if your position is actually a CP-32 position your manager will need to contact CPOC to implement the change.
A GS 1750 position requires a full 4-year course of study leading to a bachelor's degree or higher which includes, or is supplemented by, at least 24 semester hours appropriate to the work of the position to be filled. The course work must have included study in at least four of the following five areas: Learning Theory, Psychology of Learning, Educational Psychology; Instructional Design Practices; Instructional Product Development; Educational Evaluation: and/or Computers in Education and Training. The Civilian Personnel Operations Center makes the final determination as to eligibility. Contact your Career Program Manager for further details.
With the conversion to NSPS, the current CP-32 1702s were only covered up to the GS-12 level. The 1703 series was established to cover the GS-13s and above, and any 1702 positions (regardless of grade) that are analytical in nature. A change to the 1703 job series can take place only when a person has converted to NSPS and the position meets the requirements. The competencies and MTP under 1702 will cover 1703 requirements.

Interns
- Does CP-32 have intern positions? If yes, where do I go to apply?
- What exactly is a mobility agreement and do I have to sign one to be in the CP-32 Intern Program?
Yes, go to the Interns section of this site for information on intern positions, the CP-32 program and how to apply.
A signed mobility agreement is a pre-requisite for employment in the Department of Army's intern program. Essentially it is an agreement to protect both you and the US Army in the event that a position is not available for you at your initial training site when the two year training program ends. Because the Department of Army will have invested a significant amount of money in your training, we do not want to lose your talent. Similarly, since we presume you will want to continue your employment at the conclusion of your training program, the agreement assures Army that you will move to a duty location where they DO have vacancies for your skills. The mobility agreement is simply a contract that says you will move when Army guarantees your continued employment at the end of your initial training. Failure to relocate at that time could be grounds for your separation from Federal service.
