This section tells the military department Secretary how to set the largest number of officers a promotion board may recommend. The Secretary must consider mission needs, expected vacancies, and authorized active-duty numbers.
Before calling a selection board for a grade* and competitive category, the military department Secretary must, under Defense Secretary regulations, determine: (1) how many positions are needed for mission objectives that require officers in that category and grade; (2) how many officers are expected to be needed to fill vacancies in those positions during the expected promotion period; and (3) how many officers the military department Secretary has authorized to serve on active duty* in that grade and category. Using those determinations, the Secretary must set the maximum number of officers in that category whom the board may recommend for promotion.
Before convening a selection board under section 611(a) of this title for any grade* and competitive category, the Secretary of the military department concerned, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, shall determine (1) the number of positions needed to accomplish mission objectives which require officers of such competitive category in the grade to which the board will recommend officers for promotion, (2) the estimated number of officers needed to fill vacancies in such positions during the period in which it is anticipated that officers selected for promotion will be promoted, and (3) the number of officers authorized by the Secretary of the military department concerned to serve on active duty* in the grade and competitive category under consideration. Based on such determinations, the Secretary of the military department concerned shall determine the maximum number of officers in such competitive category which the selection board may recommend for promotion.
