OverviewThe ARNG <strong>and</strong> ARNGUS promotion selection process establishes the means to—a. Consider all eligible <strong>Soldier</strong>s.b. Evaluate each <strong>Soldier</strong>s potential.c. Rank <strong>and</strong> then select the best qualified <strong>Soldier</strong>s for promotion.d. Prepare the <strong>Soldier</strong> with the necessary training for assignment at the next higher grade.7–28. Promotion Processa. States will conduct annual promotion boards for each grade <strong>and</strong> publish a promotion list. States are authorized tosupplement their annual promotion lists for Specialist to Sergeant <strong>and</strong> Sergeant to Staff Sergeant by conductingquarterly or semi-annual boards. States will follow the same procedures for conducting the supplemental boards;however the TIMIG <strong>and</strong> TIS will be calculated from the new board date. The selection objective will list in promotionsequence the best qualified <strong>Soldier</strong>s who will be assigned to current vacancies (within the State structure) in highergraded positions that go with the promotions per section X of this chapter.b. The promotion list is neither a permanent st<strong>and</strong>ing list nor an order of merit list. Each promotion list published bythe State AG is a new list <strong>and</strong> is intended to remain valid until exhausted or expires on the date established by the StateAG (MPMO). With the exception of <strong>Soldier</strong>s selected <strong>and</strong> assigned from the list <strong>and</strong> those approved for CSM by theHQDA (NGB) ARNG CSM Selection Board per NGR 600–200, chapter 9, the list remains valid until a subsequent listsupersedes it, approximately one year later.c. <strong>Soldier</strong>s who have not been selected for assignment <strong>and</strong> promotion <strong>and</strong> who remain on a list near its expiration,including those with hardships, will be considered in the next board process with a new ranking relative to all other<strong>Soldier</strong>s being considered. If not assigned <strong>and</strong> promoted from the old list before it expires, their sequence on the newlist will be determined solely by their ranking with their contemporaries; they will not be placed at the top of the list.d. Once considered <strong>and</strong> selected for promotion <strong>and</strong> assigned to a valid position, per paragraph 7–40, <strong>Soldier</strong>s arepromotable <strong>and</strong> may be promoted with an effective date <strong>and</strong> DOR on the date they are assigned to the valid highergraded position. AGR promotions to MSG <strong>and</strong> SGM will be promoted effective the date assigned to a valid position,date an AGR control grade is authorized, or if applicable, the date enrolled in USASMA, whichever is later. AGR<strong>Soldier</strong>s selected <strong>and</strong> assigned to higher graded positions before the list expires, but are not promoted because a controlgrade is not available, will remain assigned pending availability of a control grade resource. <strong>Soldier</strong>s are no longerrequired to compete for the position for which selected.e. <strong>Soldier</strong>s will initiate applications for training through their units using the Army Automated Training ApplicationModule. The following represents the priority of training <strong>and</strong> the primary means to determine which <strong>Soldier</strong>s willattend NCOES courses:(1) <strong>Soldier</strong>s who require NCOES to meet promotion requirement.(2) <strong>Soldier</strong>s during premobilization.(3) <strong>Soldier</strong>s upon demobilization.(4) Approved promotion list.f. The list is also used to select eligible <strong>Soldier</strong>s, in sequence, for assignment to higher graded positions that go withthe promotions per section X of this chapter.7–29. Announcement of promotion selection boardsa. The State MPMO will announce each board using a MOI patterned on figure 7–3, which will include—112 AR 600–8–19 • 20 March 2008
