Visual Information

VI products assist commanders at all levels, from tactical and operational commanders to the Secretary of Defense by providing a visual record of significant Army events and activities. Visual images are used in tactical C2 decision making, strategic planning, and management through presentations and reports.
To request products or services please visit our online work request system, Visual Information Ordering System (VIOS), at HTTPS://VIOS-EAST.ARMY.MIL

VIOS Log In Instructions

  • Customers can obtain access to VIOS online using CAC credentials at https://vios-east.army.mil/.
     
  • Customers using their CAC to log in to VIOS for the first time will select the button ‘a new VIOS user’ and then select the installation to which they belong (e.g. SCARNG) from the dropdown list.
     
  • Once a customer has registered, customer contact information will auto-populate for subsequent requests. This information may be edited at any time from the user's "My Profile” screen by clicking the link located in the upper right of the screen.
     
  • Selecting the "DA 3903” icon will begin the work request process. Once all required information has been submitted, the customer will be provided a work request number which can be used to monitor the status of the request by logging back into the system and selecting one of the following blue links that appear just to the left of the DA 3903 icon: Cancelled, Completed, Disapproved, In Process or New.
     
  • Through VIOS, customers are continually kept advised of the status of their work requests via multiple e-mail notifications (this function may be turned off on your "My Profile" page.)
     
  • When you move to another installation you will need to go to “My Profile” and select “Permanently transfer my VIOS account” to transfer yourself to your new duty location.
