How to get the 1B ASI (Does anyone know where in HRC to submit supporting documents for this ASI?)

Does anyone have any information on where in HRC do you submit the SHARP packet to be awarded the 1B ASI... I have my Nova credentials and all supporting documents, but my S-1 doesn't know who to submit it to.

Here's what the SI/ASI table from the reg says on 1B

-------------------------
Code: 1B
Title: Sexual Harassment/Assault Response & Prevention (SHARP) Level I
Proponent: Army G-1, SHARP Office (DAPE-ARR-SH)
a. Description of positions. I There are no positions identified for SI 1B. For use with personnel only. Personnel with SI 1B are eligible to serve as collateral duty Sexual Assault Response Coordinator (SARC), SHARP Victim Advocate (VA) or Company SHARP Advisor.
b. Qualifications. Must successfully complete the 80-hour SHARP Course under the auspices of HQDA, G-1 SHARP; 2530 Clark Street, Arlington, VA 22202 and TRADOC, SHARP Academy.
c. Restrictions.
(1) May be awarded to qualified Soldiers in grades of 1LT or higher.
(2) This SI is subject to screening in accordance with the Personnel Suitability Screening Policy as a Position of Significant Trust and Authority.
(3) For use with any AOC.
-------------------------

The key line for you is going to be the proponent. That's the office that makes the award decision, unless otherwise noted. I would contact that office and see what they require, but most likely it's going to be: 1) a DA 4187 for processing the action, 2) a memorandum to back up the 4187, and 3) a scanned copy of the credentials themselves.

If you do, in fact, fill out a 4187 (which is common for ASIs but not always done), in Section III check "Other" and insert "REQUEST ASI/SI '1B'". Then in Section IV place something akin to the following:
-------------------------
1. Request Additional Skill Identifier/Skill Identifier (ASI/SI) “1B” be assigned to Primary (PMOS) of [INSERT MOS]
2. Validation of qualifications have been verified (see attached memorandum).
3. The ASI/SI requested is IAW the standards of AR 611-21, table 4-3.
4. Assignment information:
Unit: [[INSERT UNIT]]
UIC: [[INSERT UIC]]
Assignment Date: [[INSERT DATE]]
Departure Date: [[INSERT DATE OR "TBD"]]
-------------------------

If you write a supporting memorandum, it will end up something similar to the following:
-------------------------
MEMORANDUM FOR: [[INSERT PROPONENT]]
SUBJECT: Verification of Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) “1B” qualification
1. [[INDIVIDUAL]] has met the qualifications of being awarded the “1B” Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) based on following obtained certifications/training:
[[LIST CERTS/TNG]]
2. I recommend the awarding of this ASI.
3. The point of contact for this memorandum is the undersigned at [[INSERT POC]].

Be aware also that there have been a few major changes on who is eligible for the ASI. Most company or BN levels are no longer authorized to be credentialed with an ASI for SHARP. It has become an additional duty. I'm currently going through the same process myself. Contact your BDE SHARP they will be able to guide you in the right direction. It will take time once submitted since it has to go all the way up the chain for verification. If you do not have a background check completed starting from when you first came into the service it will get kicked back as well. I hope this helps.
