submitted 32 years ago by Pub. L. 103-337 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 245 words · no verdicts yet
Before a mandatory board meets, the Secretary of the military department must set up a promotion zone for each grade and category the board will review. The Secretary decides how many officers fall in that zone, based on eligible and qualified officers. The Secretary bases this number on future officer needs over five years.
(a) Establishment of Zone. Before convening a mandatory board under section 14101(a), the Secretary of the military department concerned must set a promotion zone for each grade* and competitive category the board will consider.
(b) Number in the Zone. The Secretary decides how many officers are in the zone, choosing from officers who are eligible under sections 14303 and 14304 and otherwise eligible for promotion.
(c) Factors in Determining Number in the Zone. The Secretary bases that decision on estimates of: (1) how many officers the next higher grade will need in that competitive category over each of the next five years; (2) for a zone leading to a grade covered by section 14304's maximum years-in-grade rule, how many officers in that category must be considered for that grade under that section; and (3) how many officers should be placed in the zone each of the next five years so officers get roughly similar promotion chances over time.
Before convening a mandatory promotion board under section 14101(a) of this title, the Secretary of the military department concerned shall establish a promotion zone for officers serving in each grade* and competitive category to be considered by the board.
The Secretary concerned* shall determine the number of officers in the promotion zone for officers serving in any grade and competitive category from among officers who are eligible for promotion in that grade and competitive category under the provisions of sections 14303 and 14304 of this title and who are otherwise eligible for promotion.
The Secretary’s determination under subsection (b) shall be made on the basis of an estimate of the following:
The number of officers needed in that competitive category in the next higher grade in each of the next five years.
In the case of a promotion zone for officers to be promoted to a grade to which the maximum years of in grade criteria established in section 14304 of this title apply, the number of officers in that competitive category who are required to be considered for selection for promotion to the next higher grade under that section.
The number of officers that should be placed in the promotion zone in each of the next five years to provide to officers in those years relatively similar opportunities for promotion.
