What Happened to AKO?
Army Knowledge Online (AKO) was the original centralized Army portal — a single sign-on entry point to email, personnel records, and unit collaboration tools. Over the course of multiple modernization cycles, AKO’s functions were decoupled and migrated to specialized successor systems. Email moved to Army 365. Personnel records moved to iPerms and IPPS-A. Pay moved to myPay. Collaboration moved to Army 365 Teams. The AKO portal itself was retired, and there is no longer a single “AKO login”.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AKO (Army Knowledge Online) still active?
No. Army Knowledge Online (AKO), once the centralized Army portal at us.army.mil, was decommissioned. Its services were redistributed across separate Army and DoD systems. Soldiers cannot log into AKO itself — they need the specific successor system for each service (myPay, IPPS-A, iPerms, Army 365, etc.).
Where do I log in for Army email now that AKO is gone?
Army email is now part of Army 365 (Microsoft 365 for the Army). Log in at the Army 365 home page. For mail.mil (DEE) accounts, use the standalone webmail. Both require CAC authentication.
Where do I log in for my personnel record (used to be AKO)?
Personnel records moved to two systems: iPerms (iperms.hrc.army.mil) for your Army Military Human Resource Record (AMHRR), and IPPS-A (hr.ippsa.army.mil) for active personnel actions, pay, and HR self-service.
What about my LES / pay statements?
Pay statements are accessed through myPay (mypay.dfas.mil) — the DFAS portal that replaced the AKO finance section.
Is "AKO Offline login" a real login page?
No. AKO Offline (akoffline.us) is a community link directory — it does not require a login itself. Searches for "AKO Offline login" usually mean the soldier is trying to find the right login page for an Army system that used to be on AKO. This page lists every replacement.
