All personnel traveling OCONUS are required to complete a DD Form 1833 (ISOPREP). Army personnel will use the Pre-OCONUS travel File (PRO-File) fulfill this requirement. This applies to all military, Army Civilian, and contractor personnel supporting Army forces. Army forces under the Operational Control of USASOC or USSOCOM are exempt from this requirement and will follow USSOCOM guidance to meet the pre-deployment requirement.
The data entered into PRO-File surveys is transferred to the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA). Once transferred, the data is used to populate a digital ISOPREP on SIPRnet. PRO-File is the only approved means for Army personnel to fulfill the digital ISOPREP requirement on Unclassified systems.
Are there specific requirements to complete the PRO-File Survey?
- Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0
- Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0
- Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0
- Valid AKO username and password
- Two digital photographs (see slides 10 and 11 for acceptable photographs)
- A computer printer (to print completion certificate)
Note:
Many users are already using Windows Vista Internet Explorer 8.0 with no reported problems. Many users use Firefox 3 with no reported problems. You may attempt to use one of the unsupported browsers, but if you experience any issues, you must then use a supported browser to enter all survey data.
Where do I find the PRO-file Survey?
You can log into the PRO-File home page at:
https://medinah.sed.apg.army.mil/PRO-File/
Read the DoD Notice and Consent Agreement, and click “OK.”
Can you walk me through how to complete the PRO-File survey?

Yes, there is an AKO information page about PRO-File:

I need to attach the requested photographs. What is the best resource for having the photographs taken?
The Blackberry phone camera works perfect. I took pictures for my Soldiers then emailed them on the Medium size.
Nice! Glad to hear you’ve had success with the photo portion of this form with your Blackberry.
Jan Stroud,

For the statement “Army personnel will use the Pre-OCONUS travel File (PRO-File) fulfill this requirement. This applies to all military, Army Civilian, and contractor personnel supporting Army forces”, does this apply to Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, etc.? If so, how do I get an Army sponsor for my account access?
I have completed the Form 1833 three times and it never gives me a “print” option. Once I click on the “submit” botton the pages disappears and the program seems to go into a loop. Please advise. Thanks much.
As recommended by Frank “you would have to use another computer, i had the same problem too until i used another computer.”
am i able to use windows 9?
Most of our DoD support contractors do not have a CAC and as USAF we can no longer sponsor in AKO. How do we obtain an Army sponsor for AKO account access?
As recommended by Frank: Get an ako sponsor at any army recruiters office.
What other way to do this? The website always fails after spending the time (multiple times) inputting the information. Hit submit and it takes you to a failed survey aspx. Different computers, same thing.
to John…you would have to use another computer, i had the same problem too until i used another computer.
to Don & Gary…you would have to get an army sponsor, i went to the army recruiters office and explain them my situation and had one of them being my sponsor.
I can not get any of this to work to complete my DD from 1833. I cant get the Pro File links to work or anything
I completed ISOPREP survey and need to print my certificate. How do I find the cert without redoing the survey?
How often does the ISOPREP need to be completed? Annually or once?
I keep getting this page can’t be displayed, I checked that SSL and TLS 1.0 are checked in the advanced settings but still nothing.
Me neither and im getting more than alittle frustrated. This is delaying the improssessing process for me and I have a cob to do that doesnt include staring at an error screen. Does anyone have a link that works? I need the certifricate not just the iso prep form.
HOW DO I PRINT OUT THE ISOPREP CERTIFICATE……………
I’ve done the complete ISOPREP twice and submitted successfully, but no certificate comes up to print. How do I print out the ISOPREP certificate?

I have already completed and ISOPREP file before I deployed in 2010 and again before I went tot he Dom Rep in 2012. I will be going to Aruba in the fall and my command syas I need to create an ISOPREP. However, the instructions on the ISOPREP portion say NOT to do another file if you have already done one. It says:
“If you have previously completed PRO-File and as a result have an ISOPREP in the PRMS system DO NOT re-accomplish PRO-File. Instead contact your PRMS Unit Manager or Manager to review and update your existing ISOPREP (The PRMS OST can also assist in locating your Unit Manager or Manager and providing assistance with your ISOPREP review). Re-accomplishing PRO-File will result in your existing ISOPREP being overwritten and creates other associated problems AND does NOT update the review date!”
Our unut contact person says he does not know how to review/update. sent me to this page.
How many times do you have to do this in your Army career?
And if just once , how do I update my information. Thank you
Neither the APG and the Monmouth site work for ISOPREP on a home or work(non-.mil) computer. I do have an AKO account and have completed ISOPREP in the past but need to update it. Did the military make the sites accessible to .MIL domain computers only? I have an Identrust MED Hardware Assurance token and I am able to use it to log into AKO and a few other sites but I cant even get the ISOPREP (APG & Monmouth) pages to load or ask for a token.
Who completes my ISOPREP me or someone from my unit.
The problem is I did in 2013 when I visit my family .in different
