. States may also publish derivative or extract lists <strong>and</strong> distribute them to any level desired. These lists will notalter anyone’s sequence number in the MOS or any other st<strong>and</strong>ing. Lists published to small unit level <strong>and</strong> which maybe posted in orderly rooms will not include SSNs.c. CDRs may notify <strong>Soldier</strong>s who were not selected on the day before the list is announced at large.d. Although the promotion list will be published throughout the State, the State MPMO will maintain the officialmaster list at the State HQ. This list, which must include the SSN to accurately identify each <strong>Soldier</strong>, will show alldeletions, changes, additions, promotions <strong>and</strong> other actions the State MPMO prescribes.e. The promotion or CPMOS for <strong>Soldier</strong>s selected for CSM <strong>and</strong> promotion to SGM is MOS OOZ. They will belisted by the type of organization or specific organization for which they were nominated <strong>and</strong> selected per NGR600–200, chapter 9. In this case, the type of organization takes the place of the junior <strong>Soldier</strong>s’ MOS to determine therelative ranking for promotion <strong>and</strong> assignment.f. The MPMO will publish updated lists periodically. Individuals integrated into the list, <strong>and</strong> those whose positionschange on the list for any reason, may be entered electronically or manually at the discretion of the State MPMO.Section IXSelect <strong>Soldier</strong>s from Promotion Lists7–39. Generala. The State MPMO will, in concert with the State HRO, determine the methods to request, assign <strong>and</strong> promote<strong>Soldier</strong>s, including those who are MTs <strong>and</strong> AGR, to available vacancies throughout the State in promotion sequenceusing the guidance in this paragraph <strong>and</strong> in paragraph 7–40. CNGB (NGB–ARZ–T) performs this function for the Title10 AGR Program. Under no circumstances will a <strong>Soldier</strong> on a promotion list be bypassed who is eligible <strong>and</strong> availablefor the vacancy. Selecting <strong>Soldier</strong>s from the promotion list through an interview process is prohibited.b. When the promotion list is published, <strong>Soldier</strong>s are eligible for immediate assignment to positions <strong>and</strong>, if qualified,promotion concurrent with the assignment. Assignment to a position from the promotion list as the first <strong>Soldier</strong> insequence eligible <strong>and</strong> available for the position assures the promotion. For <strong>Soldier</strong>s already assigned to positions whenthe list is published, see paragraph 7–39h(2).Note. AGR <strong>Soldier</strong>s will not be promoted to MSG or SGM without a controlled grade allocation.c. <strong>Soldier</strong>s are immediately eligible for NCOES training per paragraph 7–23b <strong>and</strong> assignment to positions authorizedhigher grades. States will establish specific times in which <strong>Soldier</strong>s must apply for these courses <strong>and</strong> be listed inATRRS to meet the 24 months requirement per paragraph 7–23.d. <strong>Soldier</strong>s with a qualifying conviction of domestic violence under the Lautenberg Amendment (18 USC 922) arenot authorized to attend service schools that require access to firearms <strong>and</strong> ammunition. These <strong>Soldier</strong>s will becounseled by CDRs concerning their inability to complete service schools, which may impact their future promotion<strong>and</strong> retention.e. <strong>Soldier</strong>s may be considered for assignment <strong>and</strong> promotion without regard to SQI, ASI, <strong>and</strong> LIC that is requiredfor their positions unless the qualification is indispensable to performance. States must use a consistent st<strong>and</strong>ard foreach MOS, grade, functional area, <strong>and</strong> type of unit. CDR with mission essential requirements to include SQI with theirselection criteria must receive approval from the MILPO prior to the publication of the annual MOI. This criteria willbe published in the State MOI for the promotion cycle.f. <strong>Soldier</strong>s in the selection objective of the MSG promotion list who are selected for 1SG positions are eligible forimmediate promotion upon assignment, <strong>and</strong> appointment to the grade of 1SG. They will be identified early enough toattend the FSC (AC or RC) before assignment. However, States may set a policy to require these <strong>Soldier</strong>s to completethe FSC before promotion if they set it as a statewide st<strong>and</strong>ard. See NGR 600–200, chapter 4, for further guidance on1SGs.g. States will have current SGMs <strong>and</strong> MSGs (including 1SGs) on the SGM promotion list, designated <strong>and</strong> approvedfor appointment to CSM for anticipated CSM vacancies using the procedures in NGR 600–200, chapter 9.h. CDRs will assign currently eligible, available <strong>Soldier</strong>s per NGR 600–200, chapter 4, including career developmentreassignments in grade, before requesting <strong>Soldier</strong>s from promotion lists. <strong>Soldier</strong>s assigned to higher gradedpositions who—(1) Are not eligible for promotion. This includes <strong>Soldier</strong>s eligible for, but who declined consideration by the board,or ranked so low in the promotion list that they will not be trained or promoted. These <strong>Soldier</strong>s may be removed fromtheir positions when there are one or more eligible <strong>Soldier</strong>s on the list who can be assigned to <strong>and</strong> promoted in theirpositions. However, <strong>Soldier</strong>s must be assigned within the guidelines of chapter 3.(2) Are not immediately promotable due to their sequence number on the MOS promotion list. These <strong>Soldier</strong>s mayremain in their positions <strong>and</strong> be promoted when the eligible <strong>and</strong> available <strong>Soldier</strong>s ranked ahead of them on the list intheir MOSs have been promoted. This includes <strong>Soldier</strong>s who have been selected <strong>and</strong> assigned, whether promoted or notremoved from the list administratively, determined ineligible or not available for an assignment, or who declined anassignment <strong>and</strong> promotion.122 AR 600–8–19 • 20 March 2008
i. MTs <strong>and</strong> AGR <strong>Soldier</strong>s will be selected, assigned, trained <strong>and</strong> promoted in a concerted effort between the StatesMPMO, HRO <strong>and</strong> plans, operations, <strong>and</strong> training officers to assure equitable management. Although they may beassigned to positions identified only for members of these programs, their promotion sequence will be determined perparagraph 7–39h(2); if AGR SFC or MSG, a controlled grade allocation is available to promote the <strong>Soldier</strong>.j. Specialists who are in the selection objective of the promotion list for their CPMOS <strong>and</strong> have completed WLCmay be trained <strong>and</strong> then concurrently awarded SQI 4. They may be assigned as described in NGR 600–200, chapter 4to AGR recruiting <strong>and</strong> retention NCO positions, <strong>and</strong> promoted to SGT against the recruiting <strong>and</strong> retention positionauthorization. <strong>Soldier</strong>s assigned to recruiting <strong>and</strong> retention positions (SQI 4) compete against other <strong>Soldier</strong>s with SQI 4in sequence as they appear on the promotion list. <strong>Soldier</strong>s who are removed from the recruiting <strong>and</strong> retention positions(SQI 4) prior to the completion of 12 months will be reduced per chapter 10 of this regulation.7–40. Selecting <strong>Soldier</strong>s from promotion listsNGR 600–200, chapter 4, covers the assignment <strong>and</strong> chapter 3 refers to utilization of <strong>Soldier</strong>s. Use that guidance <strong>and</strong>the following policies, procedures <strong>and</strong> options to fill positions. State MPMOs will ensure senior grade vacancies arefilled without delay. Failure to fill valid vacancies in a timely manner has a direct impact on the unit status report <strong>and</strong>the overall unit retention program.a. <strong>Soldier</strong>s will be offered assignment to available vacancies for which they are eligible <strong>and</strong> available starting withthe lowest promotion sequence number (having the most points) within each CPMOS <strong>and</strong> continuing until the selectionobjective is exhausted, all vacancies are filled, or the list expires. AGR <strong>Soldier</strong>s only compete against other AGR<strong>Soldier</strong>s within the same CPMOS. Traditional (M-day) <strong>Soldier</strong>s compete for vacancies with other M-day <strong>Soldier</strong>s toinclude MT. If <strong>Soldier</strong>s are eligible <strong>and</strong> available for the assignment, they will be assigned <strong>and</strong> promoted provided theyhave met all other requirements for the promotion. 1SGs <strong>and</strong> MSGs on the SGM promotion list for CSM will beeligible <strong>and</strong> available for MOS 00Z assignments, <strong>and</strong> immediate promotion concurrent with assignments only afterapproval by the HQDA (NGB) ARNG CSM selection board per NGR 600–200, chapter 9. SFCs on the MSGpromotion list <strong>and</strong> the 1SG selection list are eligible for immediate promotion concurrent with assignment to 1SGpositions. <strong>Soldier</strong>s who are in FLAG status are not eligible for selection until the FLAG is closed. These <strong>Soldier</strong>s willnot be contacted for assignment to higher graded positions while in a FLAG status. States will establish procedures tocontact <strong>and</strong> solicit individual responses (acceptance or declination) only from eligible <strong>and</strong> available <strong>Soldier</strong>s who haveselected an option to serve at a unit or location or within an area or distance, including allowable response times (<strong>and</strong>the consequences of failure to respond). Guidance on the options is in paragraphs 7–29 <strong>and</strong> 7–31. State MPMOs willensure that additional criteria or unauthorized screening criteria or procedures not specified in, or authorized by, thischapter are not added to this process. This includes selecting <strong>Soldier</strong>s out of sequence through an unauthorizedinterview process. Exceptions are CSM/1SG “best qualified” leadership boards. States who conduct monthly orquarterly selection boards to fill NCO vacancies without soliciting <strong>Soldier</strong>s (acceptance or declination) must eitherforward notification to all <strong>Soldier</strong>s selected or post results on a public site accessible to M-Day <strong>Soldier</strong>s. In addition,<strong>Soldier</strong>s selected will be provided a reasonable time (min of 30 days) to decline the position for which selected.b. <strong>Soldier</strong>s within the published commuting distance (50 miles from the <strong>Soldier</strong>’s residence unless another st<strong>and</strong>ardhas been established by the State AG) must accept promotion <strong>and</strong> assignment to positions for which they are eligible(qualified) <strong>and</strong> available. Failure to accept the position will result in removal from the promotion list.(1) The travel distance <strong>and</strong> time rules for involuntary assignment in AR 135–91, paragraph 5–5, are designed toensure safe, reasonable requirements for <strong>Soldier</strong>s <strong>and</strong> the even application of rules to all <strong>Soldier</strong>s on that list.(2) No one other than the convening authority may add a requirement for the assignment or promotion that is not setin the MTOE/TDA. States or convening authority are authorized to consider SQI when the requirement is deemedmission essential. However, these criteria must be set within the annual MOI prior to the promotion board. St<strong>and</strong>ardspublished by the State will conform to the limits in NGR 600–200 <strong>and</strong> this chapter. These requirements will apply toall <strong>Soldier</strong>s in the grade or grades for which the st<strong>and</strong>ards are set.(3) AGR <strong>Soldier</strong>s are not subject to the commuting distance st<strong>and</strong>ard. They are eligible for State-wide reassignment<strong>and</strong> PCS move per NGR 600–5 <strong>and</strong> the Joint Federal Travel Regulation when selected for promotion <strong>and</strong> reassignment.(4) <strong>Soldier</strong>s serving in assignments that have a service requirement, such as an AGR who made a permanent PCSmove may not be eligible or available for many assignments because of the restriction on subsequent PCS movesalthough otherwise fully qualified for promotion.c. <strong>Soldier</strong>s selected for assignments when they are fully qualified will be promoted concurrently with the assignment.They may not be assigned to positions or promoted in the position until the incumbent is reassigned or separated.Comm<strong>and</strong>ers are authorized to have a promotion ceremony at the <strong>Soldier</strong>’s current unit immediately before reassignmentper paragraph 7–13a. In the case of AGR personnel, States are authorized to fill the incumbent’s position the daythe incumbent begins transition leave or permissive TDY. However, States can not exceed their control gradeauthorization. Orders may be published in advance of the actual vacancy to allow planning <strong>and</strong> processing, but theeffective date of the <strong>Soldier</strong>’s promotion <strong>and</strong> assignment to the position will not be earlier than the day after theincumbent leaves the position.d. AGR SFC <strong>and</strong> MSG selected <strong>and</strong> assigned to funded positions, but for whom there are no available controlledgrade allocations to promote, will remain assigned pending availability of a control grade resource. <strong>Soldier</strong>s in thisAR 600–8–19 • 20 March 2008123
