Usage
Member Promotion Selection Board Result is used to document the final decision made by an approval authority for promotion on a DoD Military Service member's promotion selection board consideration.
Member Promotion Selection Board Result may be used to identify promotion selection information for both officer and enlisted promotion boards.
The number of officers on the Active Duty List who may be recommended for promotion to the grades of O-4 through O-6 from those being considered from below the promotion zone in any competitive category, may not exceed ten percent of the maximum number of officers to be recommended for promotion in such competitive category. If the Secretary of the Military Department concerned determines the needs of the Military Service concerned require additional recommendations from below the promotion zone, he or she may, with the approval of the Secretary of Defense, provide for the recommendation of a greater number. In that case, the number of officers selected may not exceed fifteen percent of the total number of the officers that the selection board is Authorized to recommend for promotion.
The Approval Authority for promotion purposes varies based on the specific promotion selection board, i.e., a General Officer promotion selection board's approval authority will be the President of the United States, where an Enlisted E8 promotion selection board's approval authority will be a designated official of each DoD Military Service.
