FORCE MANAGEMENT AND UTLIZATION
7.1. Promotions. While serving in AGR status, existing ANG promotion policies in ANGI 36-
2504, Federal Recognition of Promotion in the Air National Guard of the United States and as a
Reserve of the Air Force Below the Grade of General Officer and ANGI 36-2502, Promotion of
Airmen, will apply to both officers and enlisted personnel, respectively. The grades of Senior
Master Sergeant, Chief Master Sergeant, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel are
congressionally controlled IAW Title 10 U.S.C. Sections 12011 and 12012. Promotion to these
controlled grades cannot exceed the annually established military duty end-strength or grade
ceilings, or the individual controlled grade allocation provided to each respective State (reference
Chapter 13 of this instruction). Therefore, the following controls are necessary.
7.1.1. Officer and enlisted AGR personnel selected for promotion must be the sole occupant
of a higher-grade UMD full-time funded AGR (RIC ―0034‖ or ―0148‖) position prior to
assuming the new grade. Promotion opportunity is limited to the authorized grade on the
incumbent’s current AGR position as reflected on the UMD. By law, officers not occupying
a higher-grade position, or constrained by controlled grade limitation may not assume the
new grade.
7.1.1.1. Example: A major cannot be position vacancy promoted to lieutenant colonel if
the authorized grade on their UMD AGR position is major. To advance/further
promotion opportunity, the individual must find a different AGR job with greater
responsibility and higher authorized military grade.
7.1.1.2. Example: A major can be position vacancy promoted to lieutenant colonel if the
authorized grade on their UMD AGR position is lieutenant colonel or higher.
7.1.2. Officers selected for promotion under Reserve Officer Promotion Management Act
(ROPMA) can only be promoted within the State’s controlled grade ceilings. The
availability of a controlled grade and an assignment in a funded AGR (RIC ―0034‖ or
―0148‖) UMD position will be determining factors. Promotions will be involuntarily
delayed, indefinitely, if a controlled grade is not available. Reference AFI 36-2504, Officer
Promotion, Continuation and Selective Early Removal in the Reserve of the Air Force for
additional guidance.
7.1.2.1. The promotion is considered involuntarily delayed due to controlled grade
limitations IAW Title 10 U.S.C. Section 14311. When the controlled grade becomes
available, the officer may assume the higher grade.
7.1.3. Colonel (O-6) Controlled Grades are centrally managed by NGB/A1M.
7.1.3.1. All AGR colonel promotion nominations will be coordinated through the State
HRO/AGR Manager and MPMO, to NGB/A1P.
7.1.3.2. All AGR colonel promotion nominations will be submitted as a Certificate of
Eligibility (COE).
