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 II

Identify 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.
