submitted 3 years ago by Pub. L. 118-31 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 113 words · no verdicts yet
This section governs how officers first get commissioned into the Space Force. It borrows the general appointment rules from section 531. A new officer's grade depends on prior service credit or, for reserve officers, on section 20203(e).
(a) In General. Section 531's rules for making original appointments of commissioned officers apply to the Space Force too.
(b) Grade* Upon Appointment. When someone gets an original appointment under this section, their starting grade depends on their situation. If they're credited with prior service under section 20203, the Secretary of Defense's regulations set their grade based on how much service they're credited with. If they're already a commissioned officer* in a reserve component at the time of appointment, their grade is set under section 20203(e) instead.
The provisions of section 531 of this title shall apply to original appointments of commissioned officers in the Space Force.
The grade of a person receiving an appointment under this section who at the time of appointment is credited with service under section 20203 of this title shall be determined under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Defense based upon the amount of service credited.
The grade of a person receiving an appointment under this section who at the time of the appointment is a commissioned officer* of a reserve component shall be determined under section 20203(e) of this title.
