CONCEPT OF THE OPERATION

AR 600-8-29 Officer Promotions

1-34b. Below the zone promotions are an essential

part of the promotion system. They are intended to

provide officers of exceptional ability an opportunity

to advance quickly to more responsible positions,

help retain high quality officers, and give officers an

incentive to perform at their highest level.

PHASE IIIdentify Potential BZ Selects

DA MEMO 600-2

The Army must identify its best officers and promote them earlier to afford them sufficient remaining service to be available as our senior leaders.

Officers selected from BZ replace those who otherwise would be promoted from in and above the promotion zone; therefore, they must be clearly superior to those who would otherwise be promoted.



• Screen vote BZ files (Yes / No / SC)

• Establish / review screen vote OML

• Determine population to hard vote

• Hard vote selected BZ files (2 thru 6 +/-)

• Establish / review hard vote OML

• AAR input

YES: Merits further consideration for accelerated promotion.

NO: Does not merit further consideration for accelerated promotion

SHOW CAUSE: Substandard Performance, Misconduct, Actions Inconsistent w / National Security, Moral/Professional Dereliction
