It might not work for the military specifically, but for browser based forms, Lastpass has a form fill feature: https://helpdesk.lastpass.com/fill-form-basics/ https://helpdesk.lastpass.com/fill-form-basics/ I'm sure it's possible to hack together an AHK script[1], combined with Pulover's macro creator[2] to automate virtually anything repetitive on a Windows PC, or use Selenium to automate browser actions[3]. Of course then you run the risk of having to fall into the classic XKCD automation time sink[4].

> The military is terrible for this. Agreed. Especially considering they have an ENTIRE department devoted to personnel along with an office at every single unit level above platoon.
